Ninjago Oc Secret Summer 2023!

What is a Secret Summer?

It's basically a Secret Santa but in Summertime instead!

For this event, you'll be secretly assigned someone to draw/write a gift for based around their oc(s)

It's very important that no one knows that you are making them a gift and vice versa, that you don't know who is making you a gift!

Are there any rules?

I didn't specify this last time, and luckily I didn't have to, but absolutely no N/S/F/W or Suggestive art/writing or requests. This is not an 18+ event.

No direct contact with the person you'll be creating for. You can communicate through me, or ask questions through anon on tumblr if you can.

No AI art/writing, gacha edits, face claims, picrews, or bases will be permitted for oc submissions or gifts.

Oc/Canon and OcxOc ships are allowed!

Next gen and self inserts will be permitted but I do ask that no Lloyd x Canon ship next gens be submitted to avoid potential issues between participants.

Not a rule per-say but make sure to put some effort into the gift ^^

How many ocs can be submitted total?

Three ocs can be submitted but only one is required.

What will I need for sign ups?

Refs or art that show a clear, colored depiction of your oc

OR at least two pieces of writing for said oc (does not need to be a whole fic. Could easily just be a quick blurb showing how they're written as a character)

Basic Information/Fun Facts about your character. This can be background information, relationships, likes/dislikes, age and height, personality, etc.

Suggestions or prompts for your gift giver. Stuff to help get their brain going.

Your blog name (not the name you go by but the url name. Like Ninjago-Oc-Appreciation, for example).

What's the General Timeline for this event?

Sign ups and assignments will be rolling out sometime in mid April.

From there, you'll have until late June to finish and post your gift art.

There will be exactly one week designated as a late period at the start of July.

Exact dates tbd.

How do I sign up?

In April, I'll post a google document where you can submit your ocs! There will be one for writing and one for art!

Please reach out to me after signing up in some way. This can be through messages, asks, comments on the post, or through reblogs. Last Secret Santa there was some trouble with the docs, and sometimes folks' submissions wouldn't save or wouldn't even send in properly.

To avoid issues where people aren't able to participate because of a glitch, I need to be able to double check that their form sent in properly.

That should be all! Let me know if you have any questions and suggestions for this event!

Also! Currently I'm using #NinjagoSecretSummer2023 as a tag, but if anyone has a suggestion for other tags I'd be open to them!
