This event will again not be taking place this year.

I am focusing on my, and possibly the, last year of Captain Swan Secret Santa. Which does currently have sign ups live right now. You can find that post HERE

But I want to make it clear though this event has only happened one year this event is not abandoned. The one year it did happen it was very fun and I enjoyed running it. I do hope that this event can run next year maybe we can even do a Christmas in July gift exchange so we don't have to wait for the winter season.

SO MANY SANTAS! BUT there's always room for more!

This event welcomes all santas old, new, santas that haven't made anything in a while, santas that have never made anything.

The gifts don't have to be fanfic or art. It can be anything from icons, gifs, playlist, fic recomendations, poem, anything! As long as its Captain Swan related/inspired and based off what your giftee likes!

SIGN UP TO BE A SECRET SANTA NOW HERE

hey! love your fics so much ❤️. Do you know of any CS fanfic events? Decided I wanted to give them ago, but can't find any or figure out where to start looking. Hope you're doing well!

Hey nonnie!! thank you so much!! 😘

At present, the only upcoming event I'm aware of is the next Captain Swan Supernatural Summer (@cssns), but signups closed a while back (although you could probably get in touch with the mods if you were interested!).

Outside of that, nothing else has reached my ears yet. Unfortunately, the fic event heyday is a bit past, but we still had a CS Halloweek last year, and I seem to recall a holiday event. @kmomof4, have you heard of anything? (or has anyone else?)

Regardless of any events or not, feel free to just start writing! I def understand why you'd want something like that to have a bigger reach/audience, but don't be afraid to just toss it out there and see what happens, either 😄

Hope to see your stories soon!

Hey CS fandom! I was just alerted to someone in the community asking for help finding a fanfic on Wattpad and I've never used Wattpad but.. anyway, here's the link and the original query.

Reddit question

Wattpad OUAT Fanfic Search

"Looking for a ouat fanfic that I read on wattpad a while ago. Main character is Rapunzel, but is called Iris from the curse. She was Henry's babysitter and is close with him. She was cast as Emilia Clarke. It is a Rapunzel/Flynn Rider fic. Also later in the story it is revealed that Iris is Hook's daughter. I've been looking for the fic and can't find it."

Peeks out from behind the corner sheepishly. Hey guys! Sorry I've been MIA for so long. Life and work has been hectic. But I've missed everyone in here and I'm hoping to get back into writing and flailing over Captain Swan again.

Shorter update, but at least it is an update

I’ve felt like a zombie for days now soooo sleepy, but hopefully motivation will return :)

[redxcrackle]

Hey guys! I really want to participate in #carmenweek so so so bad!!!

But I’m really busy with school and that has been draining all my time and energy. But once I get some down time, hopefully soon! I can post all my ideas♥️

Thanks

For anyone waiting to hear about this event. I’m sorry but there will be no gift exchange this year. Real life was hitting me hard and by the time I remembered this event I felt it was too late to ask for anyone to sign up.

Would love to hopefully see everyone next year! And again I’m sorry

[cssecretsanta2020]

I’m so sorry for anyone who was looking forward to this event or wanted to try signing up this year. This event takes a lot of work, planning, time and mental energy. All of which this year I find I’m lacking because of my real life. It breaks my heart especially since this is one of the last events for the Captain Swan fandom. There is just no way I can do it.

Would love to hopefully see everyone next year! And again I am so sorry.

Week 3! But WHAT'S THIS?? WHO ARE THESE HANDSOME FELLAS???

Why, they're none other than some of my beloved mutuals versions of Sun! Or at the very least, attempts at them!

Yapping and links to the mutuals and their aus below the cut :)

Something important that I remembered recently was what advice I got from watching Bob Ross paint (yes I do bob ross paintings in my free time, moving on) which is that when you're following someone else's process, you're not trying to copy them, but rather emulate them and learn the fundamentals while do so.

It's how I'm now able to do paintings in 'bob ross style' without following a tutorial bc i learned the basics first and foremost. And besides being my moots (who I think are so cool and amazing) I chose these 4 designs specifically because of how distinct their styles are and how each ends up with very pretty end results regardless.

So that's how we ended up with the last three drawings of the week, which are me trying to figure out a more lax sketch/doodle style (Day 20), a very detailed style for more 'finished' pieces (Day 21), and lastly somewhere in between (Day 19).

I've seen a lot of growth in myself while going through this challenge, both in my art and in my confidence towards it, and I'm excited to finish out this next week. Who knows, might see a few other familar faces mixed in :)

As for my lovely moots, if you haven't already you should go check them out! They all make very great content. Hope I did y'all justice with these! Stared at your art for hours and simultaneously had a TON of fun drawing your versions of the boy ^-^

This is amazing

I saw this post going around about how there's not a lot of interaction for @cssecretsanta2020 and also @csgiftexchange [hope it's okay that I tagged you guys] between the gifters and their people. I know there's quite a few people who probably feel the same way, so I've decided to make a Captain Swan Christmas Ask Game. Obviously, anyone can participate, reblog, and send asks, but it also might be helpful for those of us who aren't quite sure what questions to ask our giftees.

GIftees, if you want a little more interaction from your secret santa/gift exchanger, (or just other users in general!) feel free to reblog!

Givers, if your giftee has reblogged this, you know have a few ideas for some questions to ask them (and don't forget to reblog it yourself so your giver can hit you up with some asks)
