Hi everyone,

First, really sorry I was not around in March. Basically my life took a big dive. I lost one of my jobs and was also in bed for 2 weeks with sickness and most days I could barely even look at my phone for more than 10 minutes due to the migraines + flu.

A friend of mine was originally supposed to co-host, then her life also became very unpredictable thanks to bad news, and I didn't want to cancel it after everyone had signed up. Again I'm really sorry. I thought doing this fest last minute would work but alas.

I've revealed all the gifts that were given now. Both on ao3 and on here. Thank you to everyone who gave gifts, most people got at least one!

We do still have some people with no gifts though. I've updated the tracker, so you can see who has none.

For those I'm going to leave the collection on ao3 open for posting and their boxes here will be unscreened too, so if anyone wants to drop a gift they can and it will show up right away for them.

Users efinea and xeena also updated their boxes with extra things that might make it easier to gift them.

TOTAL GIFTS NEEDED: 11

Extension

Hello everyone,

Due to a lack of gifts, I'm extending the deadline until MARCH 31ST @ 23.59 PST.

I will be very busy in April and unable to check in for quite a while, so due to this, if the gift quota still is not fulfilled, then I will have to extend the deadline until April 30.

However at that point (03/31) I will reveal the gifts already received as I don't find it fair to those with gifts to have to keep waiting, but I don't think it's fair that some people get no gift when some have one or even three either.
That is the only way I can think to try and accomodate everybody, short of making gifts for 24 people myself, which I'm unable to do and also isn't really the point of the exchange.

I've just updated the tracker with the small change to who has received a gift, meaning now we have 21 people with no gift at all.
Hopefully with the month long extension some will gift to people who have none before 03/31.

Note: This doesn't mean you can't gift to someone who already has one, but if you are able, prioritise someone with no gift.

Thanks to everybody who already gifted something!

Edited to add: I did plan on doing this if nobody else received a gift by the 10th, but as another participant also showed a desire for this, I've decided to go with it from here.

In order to encourage more gifting, you can edit your signups to add more requests. The maximum number of fandoms and/or requests you can make is 25 and as from the start, you may request anything at all from fanfic to music recommendations.

If you would like to add more to your requests simply comment here with this form and I will edit your box post.

GIFTING IS OPEN ❣️


We're off to a delayed start thanks to my net issues, but gifting is now open and will remain open until 23.59pm PST on MARCH 4. All reveals will come March 5. If anyone is lacking a gift by then reveals will be delayed becase I really want everybody to receive at least one. I am making a spreadsheet that I will add to this post soon and update with how many gifts people recieve so we can all stay on track. Meanwhile you can view boxes by fandoms here!

thank you to everyone who has signed up, I was so glad to see people joining. This is my first time ever running anything like this, but I wanted to do something fun for the holiday. I will def be bringing this back next year too!
