We are happy to present Marauders Secret Santa Fest 2024!!

Learn more about it under the cut!

What is Marauders Secret Santa?

Marauders Secret Santa is a gift exchange fest designed to spread Christmas cheer throughout the fandom we’ve all decided to call home.

Much like the classic Christmas gifting game, everyone will be assigned one person for whom they will create a gift, whether that be a fic or fanart. In return, everyone will also receive a gift from their own Secret Santa.

How does it work?

Sign up

As part of the sign up process, you will provide information about what ships you like, as well as sfw (and nsfw for 18+) likes and dislikes to help guide your Secret Santa in creating your gift. You will also provide information about what ships and content you are happy to create for.

Assignments

Once sign ups have closed, our Mod Team will get to work on assigning everyone their Secret Santa. You will be notified of your Secret Santa recipient via email, including their username, what ships they like, and their likes/dislikes.

Creating

Put your Santa hat on and create your work for the person who will receive your gift! While the likes/dislikes provided to you during sign up are there to act as a guide and inspiration in creating your gift, you are definitely not required to include all of them in your gift.

Gifting

It’s time to reveal your Secret Santa identify and share your gift with its recipient. Gifts can be published any time between December 1 – December 26.

More information will be posted on 1st of June! Stay tuned!

I'm interested in participating as an artist. However, my finals will be in late November and I know I won't have time until December. The deadline for submitting the work is November 30th, or can I work on it during the gifting period?

Hi!

Yes, of course! We understand that everyone has a different situation. After all, we're still people, and we have our lives:))

The important part is that you have to post your work before the posting time ends!!
