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

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.)
So sign up for this year's Jinglemas, and get in on the fictional secret Santa... well, the secret Santa bit is real, but it's exchanging fiction, and....
JUST GO SIGN UP IF YOU WANT SOMEBODY TO WRITE YOU A STORY AND YOU'RE WILLING TO WRITE ONE BACK, OKAY?! Shakes does a much better job of explaining this than a decaffeinated me does. Or a caffeinated one, frankly.
Jinglemas is an annual holiday celebration on Fimfiction. This event has been around since 2015 and I am excited to say that I will be joining this year.
It is a secret santa style event in which a writer asks for a holiday story they want to receive and also secretly writes someone else's request. If you like both giving and receiving gifts, this event may just be for you.
It's that time of the year. For those unaware, Jinglemas is a Secret Santa exchange for writers. As such, the objective of this event is to write a holiday story based on the prompt you are given from your assigned recipient. That said, I've decided to partake in this event to challenge myself as an individual and a writer. This is my first time, and I look forward to the challenge. Today is the final day for anybody interested in
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
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!
and Merry Jinglemas!
I requested a story about how Twilight's Ponyville friends celebrated the holiday the year before she arrived.

Go give it a read!
Do you like Secret Santa exchanges? Do you like stories? Do you wish there was a way to combine the two into some sort of abominable Frankenstein amalgamation of a holiday season tradition? Well, there is!
Seriously, if Jinglemas will accept me then obviously anypony can get in. Can't you imagine Shakespearacles's head exploding if every active account on FIMship Is Magic were to join in? The more, the merrier!
Do it.
P.S. Do you think he's related to Trogdor? I mean, lookit that arm!

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
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.
Jinglemas is the annual tradition on Fimfiction to exchange stories around the holidays with users on the site. This single event allows all Fimfiction users to come together and celebrate the reason for the season. Ponies!
I have officially enrolled in Jinglemas 2023! If you don't know, Jinglemas is when writers on this site exchange story ideas at random and they write whatever they are given. It's like Secret Santa but with stories. For more info about this tradition, here is a link that will lead you to this year's Jinglemas blog post! Feel free to join if you want to add to the holiday spirit!
Greetings!
It's almost the end of 2022. As such, it's time for the annual Jingelmas!
Kalashy, muh boi, wutz Jinglemas?
