As an ARTIST

Post your piece in on time!

Use a square canvas

You'll be either drawing OC/Leon or Leon alone if there's no OC!! (OC doesn't need to be big! can be a chibi, cookie, doll, or some other sort of reference to the OC too!)

Post on Tumblr with the tag #leonsecretsanta2024 

Tag your giftee & us when posting the piece!!

As a WRITER

Write a piece based off of one of the prompts, one of the tropes, and wildcard! (trope + prompt + wildcard = piece)

Post your piece in on time!

Your word count will be 1k-5k! Nothing over, nothing under!!

You will be writing reader insert for inclusivity instead of OC!!

Post on tumblr with the tag #leonsecretsanta2024

Tag your giftee & us when posting the piece!!

Bonus for Writers! Please ensure your secret santa is tagged in the first line of text alongside the combo (trope/prompt/wildcard), example below:
