#and all the assignments are due on the same day

[tnbsecretsanta]

Welcome to the Advent Calendar 2024!

Didn't make it to Secret Santa due to lack of time? Don't worry! This year, there will be a complementary event called "Advent Calendar" where you can spread your love for the series without sticking to a schedule!

What is an Advent Calendar? Traditionally, an advent calendar is a special type of calendar that counts down the days until Christmas Day, starting from 1st December.

How do I participate? Simply create a Tumblr or Twitter post with the activity indicated for the day and use the tag #TnBAdvent24, and we'll reblog/retweet it!

Do I have to participate every day? No! The point of this side event is for you to spread your love for the series without the pressure of a schedule like in the Secret Santa! You can participate any day you want: one, two, ten, all of them! Your choice!

Can I participate in the side event if I joined the Secret Santa? Yes! This event is entirely free, so that you can participate at your leisure.

If I missed an activity from a previous day, can I still post it? Yes! Just use the tag we'll reblog/retweet it! We just suggest that you don't use an activity scheduled for a later date and wait until the indicated day to publish it.

Happy creating!

Okay, who’s ready to SUBMIT THEIR PROJECTS? Woo! \o/ Please fill out this form once for EACH PODFIC you are submitting (main gift or treat).

IF YOUR GIFT IS FOR A MOD, we have separate forms to maintain the surprise!

IF YOU ARE SUBMITTING A GIFT FOR @blackestglass, please use this form instead

IF YOU ARE SUBMITTING A GIFT FOR @knight-tracer, please use this form instead

Wait, I haven’t even started recording yet!

Don’t worry, you still have a month! This is just up now for the early birds.

Here are some reminders about the submission process:

Remember, if you ARE signed up, we will NOT be accepting treats before you've turned in your main gift, and we WILL be checking this! If you try to submit a treat without having turned in a main gift, we'll contact you to tell you it has not been accepted and the treat will be deleted from our submissions spreadsheet. Once a main gift is submitted, you are then welcome to re-submit your treat. 

As a reminder, you do NOT have to be signed up to submit treats!

Can we start crossposting to AO3?

Yes, the AO3 collection is open for anyone who is ready to start crossposting! Gift delivery will still be over Tumblr, but the collection will reveal the same day as the masterlist. 

PLEASE ALWAYS SUBMIT YOUR PODFICS TO THE GOOGLE FORM FIRST! This is how we track assignments/build the masterlist. In previous years, we had multiple participants who ONLY uploaded to the collection, leading us to think that some of you had missed the deadline.

If you’re one of the early birds who’ve already started submitting to AO3, PLEASE remember to go back and submit via the google form!

What are the due dates again?

All main gifts are due December 17th! Treats are due the 22nd! Happy podficcing :)

Assignments FAQ

Assignments start going out now! Please read the following FAQ and confirm that you’ve received your assignment and read the rules (for example, “Got the assignment and confirming I’ve read the rules”) when we DM you! We broke the links to try to avoid setting off spam filters, so simply delete the colons when you copy and paste the URL into the address bar. 

If we get tossed into spambot purgatory partway through assignment delivery, we’ll switch to one of our sideblogs and failing that, we will start emailing you at the addresses we confirmed with you. 

When are gifts due?

Fully edited main podfic gifts are due on December 17th. We’ll make the gift deliveries on December 24th! Remember, no minimums. The treats deadline this year will be December 22nd.

“Fully edited”?

The default expectation is that you will be submitting a “traditional” podfic that you’ve recorded and edited to remove all flubs (at minimum). We understand that in certain fandoms there’s a sub-genre of podfic commonly called a “cold read” which is minimally edited or completely unedited and includes chatty asides and reactions. Please only submit a podfic in this format if your recipient has specifically opted into/requested it in their Dear Podficcer letter. If your recipient doesn’t mention anything about liking cold reads or chatty podfics, then assume that they’re expecting an edited podfic (though if you’d like us as mods to reach out to your recipient to confirm what kind of podfic they’re expecting, we are happy to do so.)

Who can I tell about my assignment?

Keep it secret! (Keep it safe.) Except for your beta–you can tell them. :D

I’m new. How do I find a podfic to record?

Use your recipient’s letter as a guide in terms of story choice. Try to find a story that hits at least one of your recipient’s likes/wants. You must respect your recipient’s Do Not Wants (DNW). Some participants have suggested stories in their letters or bookmarks or have provided information about a close fandom friend who can help with vetting stories. You can also reach out to your participant via anonymous asks or by asking mods to pass on messages if you have further questions!

When finding a gift to record for your recipient, please follow permission norms in your fandom. That means asking for permission if the author doesn’t have a permission statement. Transformative works policies are often found in author’s profiles on AO3.

You can also use the Fanworks Permission Statements list (https://fpslist.org/) as a resource to find authors with blanket permission in your fandom or download the Blanket Permission Highlighter (https://github.com/BrickGrass/Blanket-Permission-Highlighter). The BP highlighter will automatically highlight any author with blanket permission in green when you’re browsing AO3. You will need to have the greasemonkey or tampermonkey extension (if you’re using Firefox or Chrome respectively) installed first 

How do I submit my gift?

To submit your finished podfic, you will use the Google forms that will be posted next month.

What are treats? 

Treats are gifts that you can make for people who aren’t your recipient. We will be publishing a spreadsheet of all requests next week that you can peruse. Anyone can make treats–you do not have to be signed up for the exchange to submit them. You can make as many treats as you want, and you can gift a treat to multiple people. (If you, as a recipient, do not want to receive a multirecipient treat, please DM the mods or add yourself to the Opting Out tab in the treats spreadsheet.)

Please note that you MUST submit your main gift first before you can submit any treats. We will not be accepting treats until you have submitted a main gift for your recipient first. 

Do you have any other advice for the gift making process?

We sure do! If you’re planning a long, ambitious project, consider making & submitting a short gift early on first. Long gifts are great to give and receive, but sometimes life happens and this gives everyone a safety net.

We also recommend prioritizing recording your ENTIRE gift FIRST. We can find you editing help if needed; only you can record. 

If you think you will need an extension to finish your main gift at any point, please DM us as soon as you can. We’re willing to work with you, but would rather hear from you earlier than later if possible. 

Okay, I’m excited! What are my next steps?

1. Wait for our message (please be patient, we have no idea how it’s going to go!)

2. Write back to us to confirm you’ve received your assignment and read these rules.

3. Squee on your own blog (tag it with #itpe or #informal tumblr podfic exchange) or in the Tumblr podfic community. Just remember to keep who you were assigned a secret!

4. Check back next week for more information about treats!

I got so unlucky with my group assignments. 5/6 classes are doing some sort of group evaluation whether it's a series of presentations going for the entire semester or 1 or 2 assignments to be completed as a group and presented to the class and I have 7 across 5 classes (out of 6 total classes) and 4 of them are next week. One was last week.

this is kit, please commission some art from them on social bunny 🙏

ever since I was a little girl I knew I wanted to write numbers in scientific notation when it wasn't necessary

PERSONAL FICTIONAL STORY

EURABIA STORY

ABDELKARIM AND HIS SLAVES

Just two years ago, Luc's father was a wealthy business owner and voted for the far right. But with the coming to power of La France Islamique (The Islamic France), there was a “redistribution of wealth”. Rich white people lost their wealth, and in order to balance income, white wealth was given to modest Muslim families. Islamophobic fathers lost their homes, and, with begging banned, they were arrested and had to wait to be assigned to an individual master (i.e. an Arab man's household) or master collective (that is to say an Arab master who had white slaves working in the fields, in factories, etc.).

Like many white boys lacking muscle and strength, Luc found himself up for sale to an individual master. Coincidence or not, it was acquired by Abdelkarim, an Arab master who was once poor but became very rich after receiving a significant part of Luc's inheritance. Luc became the household slave of his old home which had been remodeled in an oriental style to the taste of Abdelkarim's family.

He lived with three wives who each lived in a room of the house with each a servant, who for all the concubines happened to be a white woman, who spent her days licking the feet of Abdelkarim's wives. The female servants were forbidden to speak, obviously. It was up to them to massage, style and dress their muslim mistresses. When Master Abdelkarim arrived to spend time with one of his three wives, the servant would serve tea, and she would either lick Abdelkarim's feet, or lick the inside of his sweaty slippers, or fan the master and his wife.

The three white maids were beautiful young women who were dressed in very sexy manners on the orders of Master Abdelkarim, so that they would not forget that they are the property of a Muslim man. The master's wives were so unoccupied during the day that they stayed in their big comfortable beds demanding the beautiful white maids to lick their big asses.

Master Abdelkarim spent a night with one of his wives, and changed women every evening. Mistresses could therefore require their servants to spend the night licking their ass and sniffing their farts, or licking their feet. Manicures, pedicures, massages, dancing to entertain the wives or the master if he came to visit his wives: the daily life of the servants was much more pleasant than that of Luc.

Master Abdelkarim had a child from each of his wives: in all, two sons and a daughter.

Luc, once the heir to a thriving business and the future of a wealthy boss, had been assigned to the personal service of Master Abdelkarim's third child. When he wasn't doing his household chores, Luc had to satisfy Master Rawad. Even though Master Rawad was 18 years old, he was taller and more muscular than Luc who was 26, but who looked 17 because he was so weak and feminine. Arab males are naturally more virile and strong than whites.

Luc's enslavement accentuated the physical contrast: his hair was regularly shaved, to constantly remind him that he was not free to choose his hairstyle. His body had been completely shaved, but not permanently, because Master Rawad liked to pour hot wax on his slave and then pull out his hair to make him suffer. The more the white slave screamed, the more Master Rawad laughed. So he usually invited his friends over to wax him together. Luc was tied to a wooden board and was waxed by Arab males at the same time to intensify his pain.

Thin and thinner due to little food, Luc, who loved fashion and beautiful clothes, only had one item of clothing: a pair of pants roughly cut from uncomfortable canvas used to make potato bags! Wearing only ragged pants gave his master the opportunity to admire the burn marks, the whip marks, the bruises of his human property. Luc also wore a metal collar, chains on his wrists and ankles, and of course a small pink chastity cage under a diaper.

Infantilized and animalized, deprived of freedom of movement and speech, Luc daily saw his Arab owner, younger than him, spending the money that should have been his. Master Rawad, this handsome, cheerful young man dressed in splendid traditional Arab outfits in France, which had become an Islamic country, loved seeing his human dog tremble in front of him.

A bright future opened up before Rawad, once poor, while Luc, this white Frenchman who imagined becoming a boss after his father, was condemned to lick the feet of a Muslim younger than him forever.

HISTOIRE FICTIVE PERSONNELLE

HISTOIRE DE L'EURABIE :

ABDELKARIM ET SES ESCLAVES

Il y a à peine deux ans, le père de Luc était un riche patron d'entreprise et votait pour l'extrême droite. Mais avec l'arrivée au pouvoir de La France Islamique, il y a eu une "redistribution des richesses". Des riches blancs ont perdus leur fortune, et afin d'équilibrer les revenus, la fortune des blancs a été donné à des familles musulmanes modestes. Les pères islamophobes perdaient leur maison, et, avec l'interdiction de la mendicité, ils étaient arrêtés et devaient attendre d'être affecté à un maître individuel (c'est-à-dire le foyer d'un homme Arabe) ou un maître collectif (c'est-à-dire un maître arabe qui avait des esclaves blancs travaillant aux champs, dans les usines...).

Comme beaucoup de garçons blancs dépourvus de muscles et de force, Luc s'est retrouvé en vente pour un maître individuel. Hasard ou non, il fut acquis par Abdelkarim, un maître arabe autrefois pauvre mais devenu très riche en ayant reçu une part importante de l'héritage de Luc. Luc devint l'esclave ménager de son ancienne demeure qui avait été réaménagé dans un style oriental au goût de la famille d'Abdelkarim.

Il vivait avec trois épouses qui vivaient chacune dans une pièce de la maison avec chacune une servante, une femme blanche qui passait ses journées à lécher les pieds des épouses d'Abdelkarim. Il leur était interdit de parler, évidemment. C'était à elles de masser, coiffer, habiller leurs maîtresses. Quand Maître Abdelkarim arrivait pour passer du temps avec l'une de ses trois épouses, la servante servait le thé, et elle devait soit lécher les pieds d'Abdelkarim, soit lécher l'intérieur de ses babouches suantes, soit éventer le maître et sa femme.

Les trois servantes blanches étaient de belles jeunes femmes qui étaient vêtues de manières très sexy sur ordre de Maître Abdelkarim, afin qu'elles n'oublient pas qu'elles sont les propriétés d'un homme musulman. Les épouses du maître étaient si peu occupés durant la journée qu'elles restaient dans leur grand lit confortable en exigeant des belles servantes blanches qu'elles leur lèche leur gros cul. Le maître Abdelkarim passait une nuit avec une de ses épouses, et changeait de femme tous les soirs. Les maîtresses pouvaient donc exiger de leur servante qu'elles passent la nuit à lécher leur cul et renifler leurs pets, ou à lécher leurs pieds.

Manucures, pédicures, massages, danser pour divertir les épouses ou le maître s'il venait rendre visite à ses femmes : le quotidien des servantes était bien plus agréable que celui de Luc.

Maître Abdelkarim avait eu un enfant de chacune de ses épouses : en tout, deux fils et une fille.

Luc, autrefois héritier d'une entreprise florissante et promis à l'avenir d'un riche patron, avait été affecté au service personnel du troisième enfant de Maître Abdelkarim. Quand il ne faisait pas ses tâches ménagères, Luc devait satisfaire Maître Rawad. Même si Maître Rawad avait 18 ans, il était plus grand et plus musclé que Luc qui en avait 26, mais qui en paraissait 17 tellement il était faible et féminin. Les mâles Arabes sont naturellement plus virils et forts que les Blancs. L'asservissement de Luc accentua le contraste physique : ses cheveux étaient régulièrement rasés, pour lui rappeler constamment qu'il n'était pas libre de choisir sa coiffure.

Son corps avait été épilé intégralement, mais pas définitivement, car Maître Rawad aimait verser de la cire brûlante sur son esclave et ensuite arracher ses poils afin de le faire souffrir. Plus l'esclave blanc hurlait et plus Maître Rawad riait. Il invitait donc généralement ses amis pour qu'ils l'épilent ensemble. Luc était attaché à une planche en bois et se faisait épiler par les mâles Arabes en même temps pour intensifier sa douleur.

Amaigri et ayant rapetissé en raison du peu de nourriture, Luc, qui adorait la mode et les beaux vêtements, ne disposait que d'un seul vêtement : un pantalon grossièrement taillé dans une inconfortable toile servant à fabriquer des sacs pour les pommes de terre ! Ne porter qu'un pantalon haillon offrait à son maître l'occasion d'admirer les marques de brûlures, les traces de fouet, les hématomes de son bien humain. Luc portait aussi un collier en métal, des chaînes aux poignets et aux chevilles, et bien sûr une petite cage de chasteté rose sous une couche.

Infantilisé et animalisé, privé de la liberté de mouvement et de parole, Luc voyait quotidiennement son propriétaire arabe plus jeune que lui dépenser l'argent qui aurait dû lui revenir. Maître Rawad, ce beau jeune homme joyeux vêtu de splendides tenues traditionnelles arabes dans la France devenu pays islamique, adorait voir son chien humain trembler devant lui.

Un bel avenir s'ouvrait devant Rawad, autrefois pauvre, tandis que Luc, ce Français blanc qui imaginait devenir patron après son père, était condamné à lécher les pieds d'un musulman plus jeune que lui pour toujours.
