Merry Ratmas, all you fabulous writers! The tutor team is super excited to introduce this year’s Tutor Ratmas event: the Tutor Toy Drive! What is this event, exactly? Should you expect to be trading in toy trains and rat stuffed animals? Read on for the details!
Makin’ a List
Have you ever had something small that you needed to develop a character or a plot? Not a full-fledged character or thread, but just a little thing: someone to mug your character, a character who broke your character’s heart in their early teens, a sibling who’s always getting on your character’s nerves. That’s where the Tutor Toy Drive comes in! We want everyone to make a list of these little things - an NPC blitz post, a character that can be used to flesh out a backstory, a childhood nemesis, a step-sibling, etc. Remember that these don’t have to be long commitments to character relationships or threads (unless the exchange goes so well that that’s what it becomes, of course!). You can keep it small and simple. Toy-sized, if you will! Post your list using the form below by the end of today, December 30th, 12:00PM EST to be officially enrolled in the event. The form has three slots for desired items, but you can do fewer or more as needed.
Checkin’ it Twice
Once we have our list of participants, we will announce the opening of the drive by posting a masterlist of the requested items. It will be open from December 30th, 12:00PM EST until January 5th, 11:59PM EST. During that time, participants should select one or more items that they would be willing to give and post in the thread, @-ing the members whose “toy” you are gifting (if you have any trouble with this feel free to reach out to a tutor and we can help you!). The tutors will update the masterlist as necessary to indicate which items have been claimed. Note: Full participation in this event (and eligibility for 5 house points) is qualified by gifting at least one item. Of course, we would love to see you gift even more - the more participation we have in this event, the more fun it will be and the more plot holes we can fill!
Questions? Feel free to reach out to a tutor via PM, Slack, Discord, carrier pigeon - whatever’s most convenient for you![b]Username:[/b]
