Hello Beatle People!
To spread some crimble cheer, The Beatles Kink Meme is hosting the second annual Beatles Secret Santa Fanworks Exchange! Create (& receive!) a piece of fanwork: fanfic, fanart, fanvideo, or gif set!
Once you receive your assignment, create a gift that matches your giftee’s preferences. Remember to keep it a secret until the posting. But you can send anonymous messages to ask questions or just to wish your giftee a happy crimble!
Have your gift completed by December 24-Jan 5 and during that time deliver your gift! You can post it to your tumblr and/or AO3 or submit it to the Beatles Kink meme. Be sure to tag your recipients.
The ao3 collection can be found here and anything posted early will not be revealed until the gift giving period.
Tag your posts #beatles secret santa 2023 and tag beatleskinkmeme so we can reblog all gifts
Rules & Guidelines:
You must have a tumblr to sign up as that will be how your assignment will be shared. Messaging and anon should be turned on to receive your info and so your gift creator can contact you!
You don’t need to have an ao3 account but we added a question regarding this because some people have different tumblr names from ao3
Be sure to mark all the types of gifts you would be open to receiving!
All fanfics should have a minimum of 500 words and all gifts should be completed.
This is being sponsored by the good ol’ kink meme after all, so NSFW is allowed, but only if your recipient says they would like that in their gift.
All requests do not have to be included in the gift, but just can be used as general guidelines. If you need more info from your giftee then feel free to send them an anon ask or send a message to this blog and we can reach out to your giftee to get the information!
If for any reason you have to drop out, it’s okay! But please contact us as soon as possible so we can make sure everyone still receives a gift!
If you signed up last year and never created a gift, you will not be able to participate.
When you receive your gift, please leave a comment to thank your santa
Please respond to all messages within a week of receiving, even just to say, got it! We are trying to alleviate people signing up and ghosting. If there is no response, you will be removed from the event.
Important Dates:
By November 6: All pairings will be assigned and information sent out via tumblr DM (you will receive a message from either @beatleskinkmeme, my main account @theoldmixer or from @heybulldogs who is my assistant elf!)
Around December 4th: We will contact you again to check in how things are going.
December 24-Jan 5: Gifts are delivered
Feel free to submit an ask or dm @beatleskinkmeme if you have any other questions!
album art is so important because it tells you what color the songs are
i feel so personally insulted whenever i get one of those "based on your likes!" posts on here and it's something that could not possibly be further removed from anything i would like. like how dare you insinuate that i would like that
So, I just watched Love and Mercy last night and it was so fucking good, I literally almost cried twice, it was so upsetting but also so perfectly made. The sound design was so unique and amazing and the studio recording sessions were so lively and realistic, and the two timelines overlapping was so unique and such an interesting way of storytelling. I can literally talk about this film for hours. I went into this knowing like absolute surface level stuff about Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys and only knowing their biggest hits, so this film was really such an amazing surprise. Please go watch it if you haven't yet because it's so good and so so worth it!
I'm thinking of doing a musician biopic ranking soon once I watch some more! If you all have any biopic recommendations of any musicians, please let me know so I can watch them!
Hey all! So I've recently started working on a John fic and mapping out ideas for others. I'm really excited to post oneshots and imagines here soon, but I'm planning to post my full fics somewhere else.
So, I was wondering, for thoes of you who write the Beatles/Classic rock band fics:
I know I've been on here for a bit now and I've gained a quite a few followers, but I basically never talk to anyone on here yet. So go ahead and send me some asks so I can interact with all of you more since I love all of your blogs so much!
