Thanks a lot anon! One hell of a Gristmas.

Thanks for the Portable Appearifier and the Pyralspite dragon wearing Terezi’s scalemate boxers, anon!

Great news, I’ve got my present, there isn’t a lot to say about it since it’s nothing unusual, but it’s what I asked for and I am really fucking happy because I didn’t expect it.

This anonymous from Scotland went beyond the call of duty. Wow. Thanks!

Both.

Seriously, you guys gotta let me know if you don’t get a gift.

Even beyond making sure everyone gets a present, it’ll help me figure out who isn’t sending their gifts in the first place, so I know who to bar from participating. If you don’t tell me, that douchebag will be free to not-gift someone else another year!

Another year, another Gristmas! I hope everyone had a good time celebrating with friends/loved ones/the internet!

Present submissions are open! You can email me pictures of your gifts and messages, or you can submit them directly to the blog itself. All submissions will be posted as soon as I get them!

Haven’t gotten a gift yet? Wait a couple more days for slow mail and lazy anons to get their rear in gear, but any longer than that and you still haven’t gotten anything, then EMAIL ME.Seriously, EMAIL ME AND TELL ME.
If you DON’T email me and tell me, you are NOT allowed to complain next year about not getting a present- provided hsg is still around, and still interested in exchanging presents.

Okay, folks! I look forward to seeing what everyone’s received!

A big, big thank you to everyone who signed up! I will be organizing the entrants over the course of the day, so you should get the information of the anon you will be giving to sometime tonight! (If you do NOT get this information PLEASE message me tomorrow, because that is an issue!)

From this point on it is one month to Christmas, so I hope everyone is revved up and ready to go! There’s presents to be made!

And as always, feel free to send me your questions or concerns regarding this process. I’m here to help!

Dumbgarbage! I’ve always tried to keep Gristmas-related activities on HSG to a minimum when update discussion is going on, given that people have more important things to talk about. From what i’ve seen, /co/ threads these days are STRICTLY for update discussion, with heavy mod observance. I don’t think they’d take too kindly to something like this. (What’s most important is letting those that got left behind know that HSG lives on in a new home.)

What’s all this?
Anons who frequent HSG have been giving Homestuck-related presents on Christmas to each other for three years now, and is gearing up to do it again.

But how is that possible?
It’s very easy, actually! All you have to do in order to participate in this event is email GristmasGiftExchange@gmail.com with a short message containing the following information:

1. Your home address, so you can get a present
2. A short list of gifts you would prefer to get as a present (e.g: I would like a time hoodie, and a giant red dildo.)
3. A short list of gifts you would prefer NOT to get as a present (e.g: I already have a time hoodie, and more than enough dildoes)
4. An idea of what you could give another person. (e.g: I can afford to buy several hoodies, and i’ve got about twelve unused dildoes that need good homes)

I want to participate! When should I send you an email by?

November 24th!
And then, on November 25th, I will send you an email containing another anon’s information, and send your information to somebody completely different. Using this information, you will have four weeks to make a present for the anon you got, and send that present to their address, while someone else will be doing the same for you!

In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to send me an ask in my tumblr askbox, or send me an email.

I will be in some of the HSG threads to answer questions there too, but i’ve noticed on occasion that sometimes other people will pretend to be me while giving rude responses- so the first two options are your safest bet!
