Yes, for the first time ever here on FiMFiction, I'll be participating in an event.

Hey everybody. I know I've been pretty inconsistent the last few months, but I wanted to let you in on something I'll definitely be doing. Jinglemas, the Secret Santa story-swap contest, is coming up, and I have enrolled to participate. I've been doing this contest ever since 2018, and it's a lot of fun to do. I'd highly recommend you check out the rules here and sign up if you'd like to give and receive
I enjoyed participating in Jinglemas, probably because I drew characters that I was able to write a not-horrible story with. (I saw the combinations other authors received. I don't know what I would have done with some of those.)
There's truly no time like the holidays. What's better than copious amounts of food, quality time with family and friends, hearing the sweet sound of 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' on repeat, and unmanaged financial stress from our capitalist overlords?
Gift exchanges of course!

It's a WONDERFUL project that writers do every year, and I love it lots. even if I'm not a part of it this year. So happy holidays, hope this helps you jingle your bells.
(hopefully it stays up now so I can post this blog!)

Well an, almost-new Chrisfic, if you read it during the past week or so, while it was part of the Jinglemas post.
Anyway, yes, I just published my Secret Santa entry as its own piece:
That's right! It's time for Jinglemas! For those of you new to Fimfic (or simply aren't familiar with it), Jinglemas is our annual secret-santa-story-exchange event where we write stories for each other as gifts. If you'd like to join, go to the link above to check out the rules of the event.
See you there!

So Jinglemas is a thing, I've seen it before, but this is the first time I'm participating in it. The concept is great, think of a small prompt to request, submit it, then somebody else will write it for you, while you write somebody else's. Around Christmas day, the stories are exchanged and posted as a sort of secret santa. All in all it sounds really fun, and I hope it will be great this year, from what I've heard, the more writers, the merrier. As long as you feel confident writing at least
Greetings!
It's almost the end of 2022. As such, it's time for the annual Jingelmas!
Kalashy, muh boi, wutz Jinglemas?
JInglemas is a fic secret santa program. Just contact Shakespearicles by November 24 (so do it soon) stating three things:
1. The sort of story you're hoping to get -- tags, characters, premise
Yes, I know, I'm a month early for Christmas Stories. But for the next month, I will be working on a story for Jinglemas 2022, which you still have a chance of joining. It is also the main reason I will be inactive on all my other incomplete stories.
By the way, I've already created a holiday story prior to the event. It will premiere on December 22nd. Have a Merry Christmas, everyone!
As most people who follow me know, I'm pretty schizophrenic when it comes to releasing stories. However, there is one event that I've remained punctual for ever since 2018: Jinglemas. Part of it is because, unlike contests that I can drop out of at any point, I actually have to finish a Jinglemas story since somebody is actively expecting one. That, and having a specific person to write for forces me to actually do research about what
There's truly no time like the holidays. What's better than copious amounts of food, quality time with family and friends, hearing the sweet sound of Trans-Siberian Orchestra on repeat, and unmanagble financial stress from our capitalist overlords?

For those of you not familiar with Jinglemas, it's a tradition that some in the FimFic community like to participate in around the holidays. To keep it short, it's a Secret Santa of sorts, but instead of giving some kind of annoying tchotchke that sits on your office desk, you get to write someone a story! I personally haven't participated myself yet, but I'm totally hyped to do it this year!
The winds are blowing and a cold front is coming in. You look up and notice the sky is already transitioning into those ever-stunning shades of oranges and reds as the sun dips lower into the sky toward the horizon. A quick glance at your watch confirms what you were wondering; it’s not even five in the afternoon yet. Before you can continue to wonder about the early sunset, a single white flake lands on the tip of your nose and you smile. Ah, you think to yourself. It’s
In case you hadn't heard, Jinglemas 2018 is live, including my submission, which you're welcome to try to find. I also received a delightful story featuring some fantastic Discord shenanigans. The compilation will only be up for a short while before it goes down and the authors will put up their entries on their own accounts, so go check it out while you can!
So I wrote one last pony story for the year, Holiday Gig. Y'all should go read it!
I even finished this story a couple days ago, so I got to post it first thing in the morning, whee.
