here’s the official sign-up for a festive and fun rp writing event inspired by chopped, where creativity, chaos, and holiday cheer collide! this season's theme is gingerbread dreams & tacky traditions! sign-ups close on december 11th at 10pm cst, so be sure to sign up asap.

whether or not you participate in the writing portion, everyone is invited to the tacky christmas sweater-themed friendsmas feast in leavenworth, wa on january 3rd at 7pm cst.*this event is held on december 19th in canon time.

please make sure to read everything before signing up. here’s everything you need to know to participate and make the most of it.

if you have any questions or need more info about the event rules, don’t hesitate to reach out to us via dms! we’re happy to help and provide any clarification you need. no question is a dumb question. 🖤

sign-up period:

sign-ups close on december 11th at 10pm cst, so be sure to sign up before then.

to participate in this event, please like this post or comment below with the names of the muses (if sideblogs) you wish to have participate. make sure to specify names so we don’t have to search; “all” is not enough. liking this post gains an entry to the event, please keep in mind.

know that you're signing up for a writing event where you'll be writing alongside others. if you will not be around to keep the paras and interactions going, it’s best you skip this. replies are to be short and to the point, not novels.

after sign-ups close, we’ll randomly pair participants into teams of two in a post in @mayhemplus if there is an odd number, we will do our best to do what we can to make it all even and fair.

team dynamics / writing:

this lasts canonically for one full day set in leavenworth, wa on dec 19th, but in the group, the process will take place from december 11th until january 2nd.

the characters will be utilizing a local cooking school, surrounded by an abundance of ingredients and having access to all the tools and resources they could possibly need (more details on this in a later post).

once you’re paired, you’ll collaborate with your teammate throughout the event. we encourage you to reach out to them via texts or private posts to discuss your game plan and then dive into writing.

this can be as casual or as detailed as you’d like. think about how your characters will approach the challenges—whether they’re bickering about ingredients, fumbling over instructions, or becoming a surprisingly good team, it’s all about the story you want to tell!

the heart of this event is the writing! while creating your dishes and gingerbread houses, focus on character interactions, funny mishaps, and kitchen chaos. remember, this is a WRITING EVENT—it’s about telling a story.

keep your replies SHORT, mostly dialogue-heavy to maintain the flow of the thread. replies don’t need to be overly long—shorter replies with fun banter are encouraged to keep the momentum going!

emphasize the process over the result. nothing has to be perfect—in fact, we want to see some creative disasters!

the challenges:

round 1: create a dish (either a main or a side) using a random set of three mystery ingredients unique to your team, given when you are paired by us.

round 2: build a gingerbread house together. embrace the chaos and imperfections—messy frosting and leaning walls are all part of the charm!

focus your writing on the process: brainstorming, cooking, decorating, and the inevitable mishaps along the way. let your characters’ personalities and interactions take center stage.

submission details

deadline: all submissions must be posted by 10pm CST on january 2nd, 2025. the friendmas event will take place on january 3rd, 2025, giving us time to remind anyone who hasn't posted and ensure everything is good to go!

requirements:

pick one person from the team to post the dish and gingerbread house you’ve prepared, tagging both of your names with a description of your dish and how the mystery ingredients were used.

it's optional, but feel free to share how each of you contributed to creating the dish.

a photo of your completed dish.

a photo of your gingerbread house.

important: for photos, you can use pinterest or similar platforms for inspiration, but please avoid using overly polished, professional images. pick something realistic that fits the messy, holiday vibes of the event. nothing will be perfect, so just do your best.

feast highlights:

being that polls only allow 12 options on tumblr and we’re not sure the number of teams we will have, what we will probably end up doing is randomizing 1st, 2nd and 3rd place via generator to determine the winning team for the culinary clash.

first place will receive a bragging rights trophy to keep until the next event culinary clash event.

bring your tackiest christmas sweater! we’ll hold a group vote for the ugliest sweater, too, with a small prize for the winner.

the dishes and gingerbread houses created during the event will be the stars of the feast. your characters can “sample” these dishes, laugh about the process, and share the holiday spirit.

there will also be plenty of additional food to enjoy for everyone attending.

future events if culinary clash is a hit, we plan to host more of these events throughout the year, each with new twists and themes. the winning team will remain paired for the next event, keeping their trophy until another team dethrones them. if a member of a winning team departs (either by removal or choice), the remaining player retains the trophy and can continue with a new partner.

final reminders:

embrace the chaos: this event is all about fun, sharing ideas, collaborative writing and creativity. nothing has to be perfect, let your characters’ quirks and mishaps make the experience memorable.

focus on the writing: keep threads lively with character interactions and dialogue. this is a great chance to explore dynamics and have fun in a festive setting.

have fun! whether you’re cooking up fictional masterpieces, writing about disasters, or just enjoying the feast in your tackiest sweater, we’re thrilled to have you join the fun!

How to Start Freelancing in 2025: A Detailed Guide with a Dash of Fun

So, you’ve heard the buzz about freelancing. Freedom to work in pajamas, zero commute, and the power to say “no” to annoying bosses—what’s not to love, right? But wait, how do you actually start freelancing? Where do you find clients? And, uh… can you survive without eating instant noodles every day? Buckle up, my friend. Let’s dive into the ultimate freelancing guide for 2025—served with a side of fun, because who said starting a career has to be boring? Step 1: Know Thyself (and Thy Skills) First things first—what do you do? Writing, designing, coding, marketing, voice acting, translating alien languages… okay, maybe not that last one (yet). Pro Tip: If you’re not sure, think about the stuff people already ask you for help with. Are you the “design me a logo” friend? The “fix my website” guru? Boom, you’ve found your niche! Step 2: Pick Your Freelancing Platform In 2025, freelancing platforms are like dating apps—except instead of matching with weirdos, you match with clients who (hopefully) pay you. Here are the top freelancing platforms you can check out: - Upwork: Great for general freelancing gigs. - Fiverr: Perfect for quick, one-off jobs. - Toptal: For top-tier pros in tech and design. - Behance/Dribbble: If you’re a designer, these are your showcases. - LinkedIn: Not a freelancing site, but networking here works wonders. Step 3: Build a Killer Portfolio Think of your portfolio as your freelancing Tinder profile. It needs to scream: “I’m awesome, hire me!” What to Include: - Your best work (quality > quantity). - A short bio that shows your personality. - Testimonials, if you’ve done any past work (even for friends or family). - Clear contact info. Tools to Use: - Create a website on platforms like WordPress or Squarespace. - Use free portfolio sites like Behance or Wix. Step 4: Decide Your Rates Without Losing Your Mind Ah, pricing—a freelancer’s biggest headache. Do you charge hourly, per project, or just let clients pay you in cookies? Here’s the Deal: - Research market rates in your niche. - Factor in your experience level (it’s okay to charge less at the start). - Don’t undervalue yourself—remember, you’re building a business, not running a charity. Fun Formula for Beginners: Hourly Rate = (Living Expenses + Desired Profit) ÷ Monthly Working Hours Step 5: Find Your First Clients Now comes the exciting (and slightly terrifying) part—getting clients. It’s like fishing, but instead of bait, you use charm, skills, and a little persistence. Ways to Land Clients in 2025: - Cold Pitching: Send personalized emails to businesses that might need your services. - Freelance Platforms: Apply for jobs that match your skills. - Social Media Magic: Post your work on Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok. Trust me, your audience is there. - Networking: Tell everyone you know that you’re freelancing. Word of mouth is gold. Step 6: Nail Your First Project You’ve got a client! Time to deliver work that makes them go, “Whoa, this person is amazing.” Tips for Success: - Communicate clearly about expectations and deadlines. - Over-deliver (but don’t over-promise). - Ask for feedback and testimonials—they’re social proof gold. Step 7: Set Up a Freelancer Toolbox Freelancers = one-person armies. To manage your projects, finances, and sanity, you’ll need some tools: - Project Management: Trello, Asana, or Notion - Time Tracking: Toggl or Clockify - Invoicing: PayPal, Wave, or Zoho Invoice - Design Tools: Canva or Adobe Creative Suite - Writing Tools: Grammarly or ChatGPT (yep, AI is your buddy). Step 8: Avoid Common Freelancing Pitfalls Freelancing isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Here are a few landmines to watch out for: - Clients from Hell: If someone’s already nitpicking your rates before the contract, run. - Overworking: Don’t burn out trying to juggle ten clients. - Lack of Boundaries: Set clear working hours and stick to them. Step 9: Keep Growing Your Skills Freelancing is competitive, but staying ahead of the game is easier if you keep learning. Ideas for Skill Growth: - Take online courses on platforms like Coursera or Udemy. - Join freelancing communities and forums. - Follow trends in your industry. Step 10: Celebrate Your Wins Every milestone—big or small—is worth celebrating. Your first client, your first paycheck, even your first rejection (it means you’re putting yourself out there). Wrapping It Up Starting freelancing in 2025 doesn’t have to feel like climbing Everest. It’s all about taking small, consistent steps and having a bit of fun along the way. And remember, freelancing isn’t just about making money—it’s about designing a life you love. So, go ahead, take the plunge, and make 2025 your year of freelancing freedom. Need More Tips? Join the Digital Kishore community for freelancing hacks, insider tips, and real talk about building a career on your terms. Let’s make it happen! 🚀 Read the full article

But her immortality comes with a price, and the Devil has come to collect: one soul for every year she has taken breath. Anything less and she can kiss this world goodbye.

With monsters lurking around every corner, October finds herself in a high-stakes race against time. As the deadline looms, her past comes crashing back in the form of Declan Lovejoy, a demon hunter who is as formidable as he is handsome. Driven by his own vendetta against the forces of evil, Declan enlists her help in a covert mission, one that complicates her impossible task and may soil her reputation within the Underworld.

In a city where danger and desire intertwine, October faces the battle of a millennium to save her soul. Will she manage to outwit the Devil and reclaim her life, or will her forbidden love be her undoing?

The Timeless Appeal of Diaries in a Digital World

In an age where everything from meetings to grocery lists can be tracked through a smartphone, one might wonder if diaries still hold a place in our fast-paced, tech-driven society. The answer is a resounding yes. Diaries continue to be an essential tool for individuals and businesses alike, offering a tactile and organized way to keep track of daily tasks, appointments, and thoughts. Whether for personal use or as part of a corporate branding strategy, the value of a well-designed diary cannot be underestimated.

Business Diaries: The Professional's Companion

For business professionals, organization is key to productivity and success. This is where business diaries come in. A business diary not only serves as a practical tool for scheduling meetings, tracking deadlines, and setting reminders but also as a reflection of professionalism. A carefully chosen diary can convey an air of competence and attention to detail.

Business diaries also offer ample space for jotting down important notes during meetings or brainstorming sessions. While digital calendars are convenient, many professionals find that the physical act of writing helps them better retain information and think creatively. A well-organized business diary can help executives stay on top of their game in a way that digital tools sometimes fail to do.

Irish Diaries: A Cultural Staple with Local Charm

In Ireland, Irish diaries are not just functional tools but also a reflection of local heritage and tradition. These diaries often incorporate Irish themes, colors, and motifs, making them popular gifts and keepsakes. Irish diaries are favored by individuals who appreciate a blend of functionality and cultural significance.

For businesses, offering Irish-themed diaries as corporate gifts is a way to connect with clients and employees on a personal level. These diaries serve as both a practical tool and a symbol of Irish pride, making them a perfect choice for those looking to support local craftsmanship while staying organized.

Custom Diary: Tailored to Your Needs

One of the most appealing aspects of a custom diary is its ability to be tailored specifically to individual preferences or corporate branding. Customization options include the addition of logos, personalized colors, and specific layouts designed to suit the unique needs of the user. A custom diary ensures that your organizational tool is both functional and aligned with your personal or business identity.

For companies, custom diaries are an excellent way to reinforce branding. By incorporating logos, company slogans, and brand colors, businesses can offer their clients and employees a useful gift that also keeps their brand top of mind. Custom diaries make for highly effective promotional tools, offering year-round visibility without being overtly sales-focused.

Planning Ahead with 2025 Diaries

As we approach the new year, many are already thinking about how to stay organized and focused. Investing in 2025 diaries is a proactive step toward achieving that goal. A diary designed specifically for the year 2025 offers ample space to plan, prioritize, and reflect on the year ahead, ensuring that no detail is missed.

Whether you're preparing for business growth or personal goals, having a dedicated space to map out the year will help keep you on track. By starting the year with a well-structured diary, you can set clear goals, manage time more effectively, and ensure that you stay on top of both personal and professional commitments.

The Benefits of Physical Diaries Over Digital Alternatives

While digital planners and calendars are undeniably convenient, physical diaries offer benefits that digital alternatives cannot match. A physical diary provides a distraction-free space to plan and reflect, unlike digital tools that are often prone to interruptions from notifications and emails. Additionally, the tactile experience of writing in a diary has been shown to enhance memory retention and focus.

Physical diaries also offer a sense of accomplishment as you check off completed tasks and see your progress over time. They provide a personal and tangible connection to your thoughts, plans, and aspirations in a way that digital platforms simply cannot replicate.

Diaries as Corporate Gifts

For businesses looking to strengthen relationships with clients and employees, diaries make excellent corporate gifts. Not only are they practical, but they also provide daily brand exposure. A thoughtfully designed business diary or custom diary can make a lasting impression, offering recipients a tool they will use throughout the year.

Diaries are ideal for end-of-year gifts, employee appreciation, or client thank-yous. They communicate professionalism and thoughtfulness, especially when personalized to reflect the brand or the recipient's preferences. These gifts offer long-term value, as they are used regularly and help keep the giver’s brand top of mind.

By choosing a diary that suits the personality or needs of the recipient, businesses can enhance their brand image and create positive associations.

build: thicc. muscular but also hyper-feminine

skin tone: olive skin that rarely burns and tans well

personal style:

grunge lite. alice prefers to be comfortable above all else, so soft fabrics and denim are her go-tos. when she dates nigel she adopts a more instagram ho aesthetic to match his, but her heart isn’t really into bodycon dresses if she cant accessorize them with doc martens and a flannel.

distinguishing marks: expressive face

tattoos: ‘esforzada’ on back of neck ( x ), ivy on left wrist ( x )

piercings: two piercings in both lobes, helix piercing in left ear, daith and industrial in right ear, belly button

FAMILY –

parents: noah romero and lia villace

parental relationships:

while seth is more gregarious, alice is a quiet reflection of noah. as a result, their relationship deals largely in companionable silence. he’s not one to gossip with but always good help for moral quandaries. he’s also more likely to catch alice in the middle of doing something wrong, but mostly just offers gentle advice and hopes for the best. alice really hates to disappoint her father.

lia is a fun parent. alice almost always has fun with her mother, even if the interaction ends on a sour note. she can run a lot of day-to-day thoughts past her mother-- lia is kept mostly in the loop about the goings on in her daughter’s life. however, some compulsion leads alice to remain silent about her love life as it seems like it would be much easier to let her mother believe that everything is going fine.

siblings: rex, seth, and michael romero

sibling relationships:

when rex came into their lives, alice understood the difference between her twin and an actually older brother immediately. she enjoys spending time with rex, and ever since she was young she was always content to tag along with her ‘fun’ brother.

what can alice say about seth? they know each other better than anyone else, and speak almost exclusively in snark. but opposites don’t always attract, and their very big, drastically different personalities clash and erupt frequently. when times are good, though, they’re each other’s biggest hype-man as they snap another selfie.

michael is a strange one, but alice will always hold a tenderness for her little brother. she’s helped house dozens of wild animals and filmed a vine or two in her time. while she’s not keen on him bringing insects into the house it’d certainly be difficult for her to turn him down for anything.

birth order: only girl, younger twin, middle child

status in family:

alice likes to think that she’s practically invisible in her family. she’s not as rebellious as rex, or as obnoxious as seth, or as rambunctious as michael. but alice is a quiet ride-along for almost everyone in her family-- she really holds good relationships with everyone in the house. for the most part, it really seems like her parents and brother just want the best for her.

distant relations: bash romero, second cousin

pets:

wells and bilbo, the dogs, are always happy to see her, but she’s also conditioned them to remain quiet if they want a treat from her nightly comings and goings. felix, the cat, is a good companion on a gloomy day, with alice finding comfort in his rumbling, sleepy purr.

FRIENDS –

close friends:

alice has known ellie albright since birth. or even before that since ellie’s parents attended the same birthing classes as alice’s. the albrights returned to italy for a few years shortly after ellie’s birth but the two girls were paired up again before they could even tie their shoes. they’ve been best friends ever since. ellie brightens alice up to draw out a softer side than alice rarely presents alone. alice makes ellie more assertive, unafraid to stand up for her friend if she thinks ellie needs help.

it took rumi thatcher a bit longer to enter the picture, but she’s not going anywhere. rumi’s dead-pan sense of humor endeared her to alice immediately after she moved into town in the forth grade. ever the calm logician, rumi finds great amusement in tempering alice’s hot temper. they share a mutual love of nature that often leads them to dreamy afternoons surrounded by beautiful woods.

technically considered a cousin through brotherly love, dallas hong is probably the only boy that alice can completely get along with. he’s certainly the easiest to get along with out of her brother’s crew, with his laidback guy’s guy charm. while she’s annoyed at how tall he’s gotten as they age, she knows that his easygoing personality won’t ever change on her.

tensions:

adam hudson has been seth’s best friend for years, but his and alice’s interactions have always been tentative. he has a way of confronting her with the truth when she’s least likely to accept it. their relationship is hard to define, atleast on alice’s part.

alice and dapne newcomb used to be friends, much to the chagrin of ellie and rumi. the brash blonde wasn’t always a good influence, and they tended to clash over their many differences in opinion. it wasn’t until alice supposedly ‘stole’ nigel chadwick-wembley from daphne that their relationship fractured completely. daphne is the root cause for much of the suffering alice experienced in high school, so she’s not at all keen to rekindle the friendship.

if there’s one person that alice could do without ever seeing again, it’s nigel chadwick-wembley. he was her first real boyfriend, but the supposed fairytale beginning led to nothing but trouble, even if alice did her best to keep anyone from finding out about the more controlling aspects of his personality. they were on-again off-again for so long, but alice finally broke it off for good and never looked back.

there’s nothing wrong with ruby robbins-- in fact, she’s perfect. alice has always felt like she was competing with the other girl, even if that’s hardly true. they share similar interests but ruby’s easygoing demeanor makes everything seem so effortless in a way that alice can’t help but envy. she does consider ruby a friend, though, and would do anything for her if she asked.

crushes:

so much of the tension in alice’s relationship with adam hudson stems entirely from their mutual attraction. when they were much younger she was aware of it but content to ignore it, but as they’ve grown older things have changed. alice finds herself at odds with his ill-suited girlfriend and with him over it. ever since she kissed him on christmas, the muddled emotions there have only gotten worse.

the first boy that ever had alice truly starstruck was leo robbins. the definition of a cool, older boy, leo’s appeal quickly passed but she remained impressed by his sense of style and teenage rebellion. in fact, alice was quick to take up his mantle selling weed to a few of their acquaintances when leo decided to move on from the business.

as a friend:

alice is a friend like batman-- she’ll come if you send out the signal. anytime anywhere, alice will be by your side if you’d let her. she’s fiercely protective of them and will want to help them achieve their goals no matter how trivial. she can be too blunt at times, which tends to rub people the wrong way if it’s not quite what they want or expect to hear. but she’ll have your back until the end, without saying ‘i told you so’ to anyone but seth.

PERSONALITY –

positive traits: enterprising, candid, empathetic

neutral traits: self-sufficient, meticulous, noncommittal

negative traits: volatile, withdrawn, self-involved

astrology sign: leo sun / gemini moon, the confidence man ( x )

mbti: istp-t, the virtuoso

theme songs: i’m not okay (i promise) by my chemical romance / agnes by glass animals

aesthetic:

dyeing your hair in the bathroom, guitar calluses, jumping off the porch roof, lilac bushes, the solitary silence of 4 am, soil between your fingers and toes

LIFESTYLE –

partying habits:

a stoner to the max, alice deals quite literally in weed, inheriting a small client base from leo robbins. when she first started dating nigel, alice found she didn’t mind the party scene. there’s always fun to be had, and she can handle her alcohol. she’s also not necessarily opposed to experimenting at parties-- if there’s a good time to be had, alice will try a sporadic drug or two without feeling particularly inclined to do these things later on her own.

smoking habits:

directly inherited from her father, alice took up smoking as an act of teenage rebellion and favors menthol cigarettes. she finds it calming to smoke late at night when no one is around, or whenever she is overwhelmed by the situation at hand. finds it to be a handy tool to escape social situations if things aren’t going well.

eating habits:

growing up in a four-child household has definitely made alice a bit food aggressive. she eats when the opportunity presents itself but doesn’t pig out very often. snacks usually seem like a good idea, and alice is content to bring healthy options when she can. late-night meals are a staple in her diet. salty-sweet combinations are her usual favorite.

excercise habits:

alice has been practicing aikido and tae kwon do since she was young, and as a result has adopted a fair amount of exercise and weight training into her daily routine. mostly she just works to maintain equilibrium and not lose any muscle mass or physical ability, but if she’s feeling particularly stressed or upset she’ll throw herself into her workouts.

work ethic:

it’s alice’s belief that she can work hard and play hard, so long as she meets the deadlines set out for her. she’s got decent time management skills and works best with a loose schedule where she can make the decisions about what to do, when. when it comes to school work, alice is content to maintain her good grades in order to fly under the radar with her parents.

sleeping habits:

when alice feels tired she can fall asleep anywhere, but her penchant for the peace of nighttime usually finds her awake well into the early mornings. she is a deep sleeper, but an agreeable one. sharing a bed with her is not a bad experience as she’ll typically move wherever she is prodded without much fuss. she usually prefers to sleep with a loose comforter and top sheet and will cocoon inside. waking up outside of her typical routine can be a challenge, but once alice wakes up she is awake for good.

ideal living space:

alice’s bedroom at home is well-lit and cozy, with an abundance of houseplants in any available spot of sunlight. her walls are filled with things she likes looking at: posters of her favorite bands, watercolor prints she and ellie made, and endless photos of herself and her friends. she usually takes time once a week to clean up, as she has a tendency to drop clothes or books wherever they lay as she moves onto something else.

quirks:

despite being a fan of all things spooky, jump scares always get her good. she’s usually the middle person in the haunted house group, and subsequently is always getting picked on. she will let you borrow anything she owns, but it’s of utmost importance that you ask first.

INTERESTS –

hobbies:

alice has been playing guitar and practicing martial arts since she was very small. her love for plants wasn’t fostered until later in life, but she prides herself on rehabilitating various wilted houseplants she happens upon. she loves a good smoke session and will make a whole event out of some rolling papers and a gram of fresh weed. she’s usually a pretty willing participant in any photoshoots that ellie cooks up.

best school subject:

science has always been a passion of alice’s. she’s a stem student through and through, excelling in maths and sciences from a very young age. through high school she took college level chemistry and biology courses.

worst school subject:

history always presented its challenges, but as alice grew older and her inability to learn much hands on coupled with the fact that most schooling was a little on the white supremacist side of the situation, alice tended to skip these classes as much as possible or spend as long as she could backtalking a teacher just trying to stick to curriculum.

opinion of education:

alice doesn’t mind school itself-- college classes are perfectly designed to give alice all the free space she needed in a high school curriculum. but her not-so-stellar experience with the allegedly popular social scene made her more than ready to finally be free of high school.

career aspirations / achievements:

a perfect overlap of her loves of science and nature, alice dreams of becoming a bioengineer. she’s well on her way to it, quickly showing aptitude for higher-level stem courses from an early age.

favorite things:

her guitar, family breakfasts, american beauty, ellie & rumi, pop punk music, hand-rolled joints, ghost adventures, her freshly-made bed, chocolate covered pretzels, restarting the bell jar, when plants grow new leaves, her led zeppelin shirt ( x ), god of high school

boredom cure:

driving then walking, or just walking, as far as you can in silence, discovering a beautiful spot to watch the sun set, or rise, depending on when the urge strikes.

Charmed! 2025 Covid Policy Update

Charmed! 2025 Covid-19 Policy

Charmed! is committed to hosting the safest event we possibly can as the world continues to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. In light of this, the Convention Committee (“ConCom”) will continue to require up to date Covid vaccinations as well as masking for our attendees, staff, and volunteers at Charmed! 2025.

In addition, hand sanitizer stations will be available throughout Convention Space (“Con Space”) and our Dungeon Monitors (“DMs”) will be extremely proactive in reminding people to clean their equipment - if you need help please ask and it will be provided!

Please read the following policies carefully! They contain several important dates and deadlines – ignorance of these policies will not result in any exemptions.

Vaccination Policy

The newest Covid-19 vaccine update has been evaluated and released for use in the United States to people aged 6 months and older for Fall 2024. People can get the vaccination if it has been at least 2 months since their last vaccination for Covid-19. People who have not previously been vaccinated for Covid-19 are considered “up to date” with their vaccinations after receiving this single dose.

This vaccine update is free under most insurance plans in the United States (including Medicaid and Medicare), but is no longer offered for free by the United States government.

Free vaccinations may be available on a state-by-state basis; so check whether or not your state has a free adult vaccination program if you require a free option. People based in the United States can search for their local Health Department here: https://www.naccho.org/membership/lhd-directory

People who have been diagnosed with Covid-19 may wait 3 months before getting the updated vaccine.

In order to attend Charmed! 2025 in-person you must be up to date with your Covid vaccination: a person who is “up to date” with their vaccinations beginning September, 2024 is a person who has received the latest updated vaccine, released in September, 2024.

Vaccinations typically take around two weeks to reach full efficacy; therefore for the purposes of Charmed! 2025 vaccinations will be considered valid if they are received by or before Monday, January 6th, 2025.

In-person attendees of Charmed! 2025 will be required to show proof of “up to date” vaccination received in good time – that is, they must show proof that they have received the Fall 2024 vaccine update by or before January 6th, 2025. Proof may be in the form of one of the following: official paper vaccine card, electronic vaccine card, photocopy or digital representation of official vaccine card, website listing your name/vaccination date, dated email for an applicable vaccination appointment, a photograph of some part of the vaccination process (eg. the vial of serum), or other applicable media. If you are unsure that your form of proof will be valid, please contact us before arriving at the event. Proof of vaccination will be verified at badge pick-up.

You can contact us using one of the following ways: Email us at: [email protected] Contact us through Charmed! social media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/CharmedHypno Fetlife: https://fetlife.com/groups/121240?sp=1 Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/charmedhypno Bluesky: https://charmedhypnocon.bsky.social/ Discord: DM @Noelle - I have answers!

People who are unable to get the updated Covid-19 vaccine for a three month period ending with the final day of Charmed! 2025 (January 26th, 2025) due to a previous Covid-19 infection will be considered “up to date” for the purposes of in-person attendance. Please contact ConCom if you become Covid-positive within this window.

IMPORTANT: if you have a Covid-19 infection that results in you being able to get the updated vaccine within the two week time period before Charmed! 2025 begins – that is, January 8th through January 22nd – you will not be considered “up to date” with your vaccination and will be ineligible to attend Charmed! 2025 in person.

PLEASE NOTE: the three month waiting period is a CDC recommendation and it may be possible for people to get the updated vaccine within that time period.

In-person attendees at Charmed! 2025 will be required to show proof of a negative Covid-19 test taken within 48 hours of badge pick-up, (over-the-counter test is okay), in picture form in order to pick up their badge. Please do not bring a physical test with you to badge pick up - a picture on your phone is sufficient.

Mask Policy

In-person attendees at Charmed! 2025 will be required to wear well-fitting, high quality masks, such as N95s, KN95s, and FFP2s (or equivalent) at all times while in official convention space. This includes both the private convention area and Con Suite, as well as semi-public areas such as registration and the hallway outside of the upstairs classrooms.

If you are unable to acquire an N95 or similar mask, then pleated surgical masks are acceptable as a last resort.

Examples of unacceptable masks include: bandanas, gaiters, and scarfs.

Presenters and demo-bottoms may choose to remain unmasked only while actively presenting.

There are no mask exceptions for evening social events and dungeon play.

Masks may be raised, but not removed, in order to sip water and/or eat small snacks in Convention Space as needed.

A small number of masks may be available via Convention Operations for people who need them; however, we cannot guarantee this so please do your best to procure your own.

Testing Policy

In 2024, we did not require that attendees test daily but did highly recommend that they do so. For 2025, we are again highly recommending that people test daily before entering convention space. Over the counter tests are excellent at detecting a viral load in someone who is contagious, and are currently the best way for people to determine if they need to isolate themselves.

Convention Operations may have a small number of tests available for people who need them; please do not count on this and do your best to procure your own.

Policy Exemptions

Residents of countries that do not offer updated Covid-19 vaccines to the general population may be considered exempt from the requirement to be up-to-date by United States standards as long as they have received and can show confirmation that they received the primary course of vaccinations; that is, the original shot plus the two follow up shots.

We ask that people in non-U.S. countries who are eligible to receive updated vaccines continue to do so.

Attendees who are offered exemptions to the 2025 Covid-19 policy will be required to test daily while in attendance in person at Charmed! 2025 and to send verification of their negative test result to a member of ConCom before they are allowed entrance into official con space.

Failure to follow this policy may result in that person’s badge being pulled and them no longer being able to attend Charmed! 2025 in person.

We will continue to assess the status of attendees with possible medical exemptions on a case by case basis. If you are affected by this policy, please contact us as soon as you can via email at [email protected] or dm Noelle_8033 on Discord.

There are no exemptions to the masking policy.

Covid Infections & Isolation Policy

Attendees, including all staff members, volunteers, presenters, etc, will be required to report and self-isolate if they test positive for Covid-19 while attending Charmed! 2025.

For the purposes of Charmed! 2025, an attendee who is “self-isolating” will remain in their private room as much as possible and will not enter any shared hotel spaces with convention members, including but not limited to: official Convention Spaces (areas past our security check points), shared convention spaces (eg. the badge pick up area, the hallway outside of upstairs classrooms), and the Charmed! 2025 Consuite (the enclosed room outside of regular Con space that is across from the public fireplace seating area.)

ConCom reserves the right to expand this list during the Convention in order to accommodate the number of in-person attendees present at Charmed! 2025.

Out of an abundance of caution, an initial positive test result will be taken as confirmation of infection, regardless of subsequent testing.

**The identity of anyone that contracts Covid-19 while at Charmed! 2025 will be kept anonymous unless otherwise unavoidable, unless that person wishes to share their identity.

Failure to report and self-isolate will result in the infected attendee’s badge being pulled and potentially a ban from Charmed! in the future.**

Reporting & Contact Tracing Policy

Anyone becoming positive for Covid-19 while attending Charmed! 2025 will be required to report and self-isolate. They will need to identify to ConCom classes/areas where they have been, including private spaces, and ConCom will inform the attendee population that they may have been exposed to Covid-19.

**The identity of anyone that contracts Covid-19 while at Charmed! 2025 will be kept anonymous unless otherwise unavoidable, unless that person wishes to share their identity.

Failure to report and self-isolate will result in the infected attendee’s badge being pulled and potentially a ban from Charmed! in the future.**

Charmed! 2025 is committed to providing as safe an environment as possible for our attendees. This may mean that our vaccination/mask requirements are stronger/stricter than those of other events or organizations. We understand that this can be frustrating, and we appreciate your adherence to these policies that are for the benefit of every attendee at Charmed! 2025.
