Rules:

How This Works:

If you’re interested in participating, please be sure to sign up before November 30th (11/30) 11:59 PM EST. You can access the sign-up here. You MUST sign up with an email address you check regularly (this is how you’ll be contacted throughout the exchange).

Between December 1st and December 5th (12/1-12/5), you’ll be emailed your assignment. This will include your giftee’s URL, their media preferences (art, fic, or other), their content preferences, and the content they’d like excluded from their gifts. Please respond to this email as a confirmation.

Everyone will be revealing themselves to their giftee and posting their gifts to Tumblr between December 15th and December 30th (12/15-12/30). Once you post, please tag this blog and the blog it’s a gift for and email the post to tmnt.secretsanta@gmail.com.

General Rules

Requests for content containing incest, abuse, pedophilia, or sexually explicit content is not permitted.

Please check your emails regularly. This is how updates will be sent on the exchange and it is important that you be aware of them.

All works must focus on TMNT.

If you find that you won’t be able to finish your gift on time or that you’d like to drop out in the middle of the exchange, please alert the Secret Santa as soon as possible. The same goes for if you change your username or email account.

Try to avoid any communication with your giftee until you post your gift. This means no subtle prodding about what they want in their gift and no messaging them on anon as their gifter to ask for more information. So long as your gift follows your giftee’s preferences, you have free reign to be as creative as you’d like.

If you’re not going to be online during the posting period, schedule your content to post then.

If you support discriminatory actions towards marginalized groups you will not be allowed to participate.

Artist Rules:

Your gift must be a completed work

Art must be developed to an acceptable standard. Rough work/sketches will not be accepted. You are of course more than welcome to include backgrounds, color, graphics, etc.

Traditional art is allowed, but they must be scanned/photographed in order to be shared digitally.

Please be aware of the quality of your images. If you’re making digital art, please be mindful of your resolutions. If you’re making traditional art, it’s recommend scanning it if possible before resorting to photographs so that your gift will not be blurry/low-quality.

Author Rules:

Pieces of writing should be at least 1500 words. There is no word maximum.

One-shots must be able to stand alone. You are more than welcome to write a multi-chapter fic for your giftee. However the first chapter must be completed, be a minimum of 1500 words, and must be posted during the posting period.

Your fics must be edited. Spelling, grammar, and continuity mistakes should be absent from your fics.

Fics must be put under a cut or include a link that redirects to a separate fanfiction site (e.g. AO3, FFN, etc.)

Other Media Rules:

Other forms of media such as audio pieces or cosplay photo sets are allowed. If you can think of something not listed that you think would make a good gift, than you can make it.

Aim for quality equivalent to the fanart and fanfiction requirements. If you were taking cosplay photos, for example, having multiple photos in interesting poses taken semi-professionally would work.

Back-up Secret Santa Rules:

Basically, just follow the rules above. If you sign up to be a Back-Up Secret Santa, you’ll be on-call to make a gift of someone who’s original Secret Santa dropped out or failed to post their gift.

If you have any questions about your particular piece or about the exchange in general, you are welcome to send us an ask or email, and we’ll do our best to answer as soon as possible.

Also, the key term for the sign-up is: Shell cell.
