Hello everyone! I'm really sorry for the severe lack of updates, and that I still have a number of your Gifts not ready yet. I'll try my best to get them done asap, and hope that you are willing to be patient with me just for a little while longer. 

Really sorry for any disappointment caused, but I'll be sure to finish all the outstanding Gifts soon!

Thank you!!

Hey Santas and Giftees~ As mentioned, the Santas have been revealed, and you can find them over here! (If any of the links are incorrect/there are typos anywhere do let me know ASAP!)

For those whose Santas have not been revealed, I'm so sorry but they need more time to work on your Gifts! And for the previous prompts mentioned (Prompt #3 and #4, I'll be taking those 2 prompts for now but I have work so it might take a while longer ><)

And for those of you who now know your Santas, don't forget to shower them with love hehe!

Hello Giftees~~ How have the stories been so far? Do remember to leave comments for your Secret Santa when you see your Gift, or even if it's not your Gift, do feel free to leave comments too! 

In addition, I would like to apologize for the further changes made in the schedule. I still have a number of stories that I have received but not posted yet, and it should be up by latest the 27th December. 

On the other hand, for stories that are taken up by back-up writers, or with extensions as requested, I hope that the affected Giftees will be patient in waiting for their Gifts to be uploaded as it may take more time (hopefully by the New Year). 

Revelation of Secret Santas will still be on the 27th regardless of whether or not all Gifts has been uploaded as I understand that some Santas would like to upload their stories for their subscribers too. 

And we're still looking for back-up writers for these two Gifts so do let us know if you're able to help out!

For those who've already submitted your Gifts, you don't have to Check-In this time round, and all you have to do is to wait for the day where the Gifts will be uploaded!

=== 26 SEPTEMBER 2017 ===

Hello! Latest update, ALL B/G PROMPTS have been emailed! All of you should have received an email by now, and those who have signed-up twice, do make sure that you have indeed received two prompts (in case I accidentally missed out some). And more things to note:

1. Do ensure that your Gifts are paragraphed appropriately, since I've noticed that many readers prefer reading properly paragraphed works. 

2. Reminder that the Gifts are to be oneshots that are at least of 1,500 words. 

3. Participants can submit their Gifts whenever they have finished it, latest by 15 December. 

4. Any information required can be found in the FAQ page, otherwise do contact me directly.

That's about it for now, and the next update will probably be approximately a week before the 1st Check-In Date, unless more things pop up in my mind that I have to update you all with before that! 'Till then~

= Lauren <3 = 

=== 25 SEPTEMBER 2017 ===

Hi guys! As you all should have known, sign-ups have closed 3 days ago! And we will be concluding the event with a total of 49 B/B and B/G oneshots this Christmas~

Here's a somewhat important update:

1. ALL B/B PROMPTS have been emailed to the emails you have signed-up with, do remember to reply/acknowledge the email so that I know that you've received it. If you have yet to receive it, do let me know ASAP! 

2. B/G PROMPTS have not been emailed out as there have been some glitches with a few forms that I've received and I'm currently waiting for some participants to reply me before I can finalise the allocation. I'm really sorry that I might not be able to send out the prompts by 27 Sept' as promised, as it depends on when I get all the replies. (If you didn't receive a message from me, that means your form is okay!) I will be updating this page again once all B/G PROMPTS have been sent!

3. TO EVERYONE:

a) I've spent quite some time allocating all the forms/prompts, and made sure that all writers are allocated with a prompt that has at least one pairing that they can write (i.e. there is a minimum of one pairing that matches 'What you like to write', and which pairing the Giftee would like to receive). Since the pairings were the priority, the prompts/genres might not match exactly but I did try my very best and will not be giving you a prompt that consists of everything that you are unable to write. If you really feel that you are unable to write the allocated prompt, do let me know ASAP and we can try to figure a way out. 

b) As mentioned previously in the FAQ under Gift Prompts/Plot: 

"You do not need to follow the prompt suggested, but minimally have to follow the likes/dislikes listed by the Giftee."

This, both writers and readers do take note. 

c) Do remember not the share any information of your prompts with anyone! 

d) Do note that the 1st Check-In date is 20th Oct', and more information can be found here.  

e) Please let me know if you have changed/are going to change your username throughout the period that this event is ongoing for! 

f) To emphasise again, do let me know ASAP once you face any problems/realise that you have to drop out. 

g) If you have any enquiries that you would like me to direct to your Giftee, about the event, or anything in general, don't hesitate to ask, but please allow a maximum of three days for me to reply you (after which you can pester me as it might mean that I have accidentally missed the message).

Once again, I'm really sorry to B/G participants for the delay in sending you the prompts, I'll send them out immediately once possible.
