Hey everyone! As of right now, there are a few applicants that may have changed their status in url names, hiatus’, etc. so i need to hunt everyone down and double check everything from their application is still true as of today before sending out secret santa names to everyone.

Blog Announcement | 2017 Secret Santa

Calling all BTS writers, whether you follow me or not!

I know this is early in the year, but what I want to do might require a lot of planning and time to execute because it might take a long time to get the word out. So if I want this to be a success, I think half a year of registration would do better.

I want to host a Secret Santa for us BTS writers on tumblr. And because I’m poor, and probably we’re all poor, we I can’t do gifts. But what we can do is write. I want us to write a scenario to each other as a present. And because it’s secret santa, you don’t know who is writing your scenario. You might not even know the person you’re writing for.

I want to give us all a chance to get to know each other, maybe find a new friend/someone to follow, as well as give a gift. And if it’s someone you follow, then congrats, your work might be that much easier.

Here’s how it’ll go down:

Fill out this application to participate in 2017 Secret Santa. Deadline to apply is Jun. 12, 2017 - 12AM PST.

After everyone has applied, I will help you randomly choose your secret santa and message you who you are secret santa for.

The fun part is learning about the person you’re writing for. So go ahead, dig through their blog, send them asks on anon to ask questions about them, whatever. Learning about the person you are writing for will make the scenario even more special and personal for that person.

Everything you learn about them may not be necessarily fit for your scenario; it’s okay. You don’t have to incorporate everything you learn if it feels irrelevant.

Basic requirements in your scenario are these:

Christmas-themed scenario. Lol, it’s that simple.

Instead of “Y/N” or however you typically name your OC, use the name of the person you’re writing this for to personalize this.

Find out their BTS bias to be their pairing.

Please refrain from triggers you learn about that person that they are sensitive to.

Refrain from negative endings. Just in general. It’s like sending someone a nicely wrapped gift with an ipad box and then end up with old gym socks as a present. No. Just don’t do that please.

There is no minimum/maximum length to your scenario, do what is comfortable for you.

When you are done with your scenario, submit it to me, so I can post it anonymously on the blog, to keep the secret santa thing a secret. Submissions deadline is two weeks before Christmas – Dec. 10, 2017 – Dec. 16, 2017. You’re completely free to send it in way long before deadline.

I will probably send you an ask on the first week of Dec, to remind you to submit it (hopefully I’ll remember).

The scenarios will be queued to post on Dec. 24, 2017 12AM PST – Dec. 25, 2017 11:59PM PST

If you want to know who your secret santa is, let me know, and I’ll let them know to see if they want to reveal themselves to you

If and when you want to post your own scenario back onto your blog to reveal that you are the writer and claim that credit back, please tag me so I keep track of who revealed themselves and also to keep an eye out for plagiarism

This might be a hard part of this secret santa, but I should make this clear, because apparently common sense is not common. I don’t know what the chances of this, but I don’t want to leave it to chance.

On the off side that the person you are writing for is someone you don’t particularly like on tumblr, put that aside; I really ask you to not back out of this.

First of all, that’s super rude. Second of all, it will cause a whole mess (rechoosing secret santa’s because one person fell out).

Think of these as a couple reasons to be respectful. We all have three things in common.

We’re all writers. With that in mind, respect and appreciate fellow writers and their style. From writer to writer, let’s do something for one another that really appreciates one another.

We all love BTS/we’re all ARMY. With that in mind, respect that we choose to like and support BTS in our own way.

We’re all human. With that in mind, show some humanity.

If you know there is someone on tumblr you don’t particularly like and you know you can’t put that away for at least half a year, then don’t play at all, whether or not you find out that they are participating, whether or not there’s that little chance that you might be chosen to be that person’s secret santa.

I really hope there’s none of that here, or on Tumblr for that matter. Luckily, I’ve never been in the crossfires, never seen them first hand, etc., but I do know they happen on Tumblr, so I felt the need to make sure that doesn’t happen here. I want to protect us from that.

If you are not a writer, but you know writers you really like and you think can abide by these rules, please help spread the word and see if they will want to join. The more the merrier. ☺

Whether or not you plan to join, can you please help reblog this to get the word out to see if anyone else would like to join? Please and thank you!

I hope everyone will enjoy this, whether you’re a writer or a reader, or both!

Applications are open now!
