Merry Pitchmas 2024
Tumblr media
I know some of you are already putting up your holiday trees – yeah, you know who I’m talking to. Quit hiding in the pine needles. The season of giving is almost upon us, and you know what that means.
Tumblr media
Welcome to the Ninth Annual Merry Pitchmas Gift Exchange!!
Tumblr media
If you need a refresh on the rules, please check out this post from last year. Of course, the dates have changed to keep you on your toes.
Tumblr media
Deadline to participate: November 30th, 4 pm CST US (10 pm UK). If you'd like to take part in the exchange this year, please reply to this post by then. You’ll get your draw shortly thereafter.
Here's the TL;DR for those of you who don't wanna check out the link:
TL;DR:
Reply to this post to take part. Reblogs will not be included.
November 30th (10 pm UK) is the cut off date to sign up.
Posting will begin on December 24th - not a day before! And you have to have your gift finished and posted NO LATER than December 31st.
You don’t need money to take part - just a dash of creativity and the drive to want to do something: manips, videos, fanfic, and comics are just a few examples of the things you can do!
All pairings are welcome, but I strongly encourage all participants to ANONYMOUSLY message the person they drew to ask questions about which they might prefer.
TURN ON YOUR ANONS. Your Secret Santa must have a way to contact you. If your anons aren’t no, you’ll be removed from the exchange. So please, even if you’re sure anon asks are already allowed, double check. If you’re not sure HOW to do that, Google is your friend.
If you change your name between now and the posting date, please send me a message to let me know. I will not be trying to track people down again this year.
Please don’t leave someone hanging. If you have no intention of doing anything and just want someone to do something for you, don’t reply. It’s not fair. (And I’m always looking for volunteers who will write for anyone who might get missed!)
Tag your posts with #merry pitchmas 2024.
HAVE FUN.
See you in a few, awesome nerds!

@wordsofmyreality has graciously offered to take over the sleigh-reins this year and wrangle the Pitchmas elves for me! So I'm going to hand the blog over to them for the season.

Will there be an exchange this year?
Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to be able to run one this year. If there's anyone that wants to take over for the season, shoot me a message and maybe we can sort something out!

Ho Ho Ho, Ten Days To Go!
Well, nine, but ten sounded better. I hope everyone is having the merriest of times making their gifts! Don't forget to reach out to the person whose name you got to ask any questions about what they might like and I'm also here to attempt to answer any you might have as well.
A reminder that the start date for posting your gifts is December 24th and the deadline is December 31st. If you think you might be delayed, please let me know, and if you don't think you'll be able to deliver your gift at all, doubly let me know so I can have one of my Elves In Reserve whip something up. No one deserves to have coal in their stocking for Christmas!
Oh and don't forget to tag your post with Merry Pitchmas 2023, so I can find it later.
I hope the festive month is treating you well!

Sorry, I totes dropped the ball on getting an early start on the exchange this year but never fear!

For a RECORD-BREAKING eighth year in a row, it's time for the Pitchmas Gift Exchange!!
Tumblr media
Okay, listen up.
Tumblr media
If you need a refresh on the rule, please check out this post from last year, but keep in mind the cut of dates will have changed. Because I've left this so late (again, my bad, sorry) I'm only going to let this float around until the end of the day on December 1st. If you'd like to take part in the exchange this year, please reply to this post by then.

2/2) add, feel free to add that as well. Looking forward to writing for you ^_^
Hello! I'm not sure if you meant to send this to me or the person you're actually secret Santa for? If it's the latter, you sent this to the wrong person. 😊

Okay, so... how does this work?
Tumblr media
If you would like to take part in the gift exchange, please REPLY to this post. Reblog all you want, but you won’t be included in the draw unless you reply. That’s just the easiest way for me to keep track of people. I’ll let this post circulate until November 25th. After that, I’ll chuck all the names in a hat and randomly assign Secret Santas. Once you have your person, feel free to contact them (anonymously - this is supposed to be a secret) and ask any questions about what they might like in a gift. Pairings, favourite tropes, etc. Which brings me to another biggie:
To anyone who wants to take part in this, please change your ask settings to allow anonymous questions!!!
Every year I have quite a few people come to me telling me they can’t ask their giftee questions because of this. That means I have to try to get a hold of them, which slows the process down for everyone and drives me to drink. I’ve gotten to the point where if your ask box is not set to allow anon questions and your Secret Santa cannot contact you, I won’t be trying to get in touch - I’ll just remove you from the exchange.
So please, even if you’re sure anon asks are already allowed, double check. If you’re not sure HOW to do that, google is your friend. 
Tumblr media
Posting Date.
You can post your finished pieces starting December 24th. Please don’t post before this and please make sure your gift is posted by the end of December. Once the 24th rolls around, you can reveal yourself as your person’s Secret Santa by posting/scheduling your creation on your blog and @/tagging the person. Also, please tag your entry with #merry pitchmas 2022 so that I can find them all and combine them into a master post once everyone has posted.
“But I don’t have any money!”
You don’t need money for this! No, dear friends, all you need is some time and your imagination. You see, this exchange is all about getting creative. Your gifts can be fanfiction, fanart, gifsets, manips, and anything else that falls under the header of fanworks.
Tumblr media
What pairings are accepted?
All pairings are welcome. However, please make a point of contacting your giftee if you aren’t sure which pairings they enjoy.
Also!
If you change your blog name at all over the next two months PLEASE let me know. It’s really, really difficult to hunt people down if you don’t. I put a lot of work into making a list of who has who and that gets completely effed up if User007 has changed their name to ButtercupPony85. Again, I have reached a point where I will not be combing through tags and blogs looking for people.
In closing!
This is all about having fun. 
Tumblr media
You know what isn’t fun? Putting time and effort into giving someone a gift, only to not receive one yourself. Every time I’ve done this previously, there have been people who have said yes to taking part who have gotten their gift and then not followed through in giving theirs. Refused to reply to messages and left someone without anything. Luckily, there are some lovely, wonderful people who offer to help out and dedicate even more of their time to coming up with something for those people.
PLEASE DO NOT SAY YES IF YOU AREN’T PLANNING ON HOLDING UP YOUR END OF THIS.
It’s not fair.
If you aren’t going to be able to finish your gift in time, or at all, please let me know. That way I can contact the person you have and let them know it’ll be late or arrange for something else to be done for them.
Speaking of…
Once again, I’ll be looking for volunteers I can hit up in the event that some people get missed and need replacement gifts. If you’re interested, shoot me a message on this blog. I’ll love you forever.
Remember!
This is all about having fun!! I started this so that everyone could have a good time in the fandom around the holiday season. So that people who may be headed towards a rough holiday season or who might not get gifts elsewhere will have something to look forward to and something to work on during what can either be a really great or really tough time of the year.
See you all soon!
~Red
