ZOMBIES, RUN! SECRET SANTA 2023

IT'S NOVEMBER ONCE MORE AND THAT MEANS IT'S TIME FOR THE ZOMBIES, RUN! SECRET SANTA EXCHANGE!

You read that correctly - the time-honoured tradition is back and you can now sign up for the 7th ZR Secret Santa!

And we know - you'll be used to seeing these posts from @runnerzero, who started the ZR Secret Santa a frankly shocking seven years ago. Zero's been snowed-under busy this year so this year @delucadarling and I are taking over the posting duties in addition to helping out with the behind the scenes part as we usually do.

Entries are open from now (right now, actually) until December 1st - at which point we'll shut down the form and get to work assigning each of you a gifter and a recipient.

Gifts can be art, fic, a combination of both, graphics, compositions, interactive fic, playlists (so long as the playlist is complementing something else!), or whatever you think will bring some joy.

SIGN UP: https://forms.gle/ERzeAQBzN8yLP2916

The only rules are to keep it secret, and spend some time on it!

Dates!

December 1st: Sign ups end!

December 2nd: You recieve your secret santa recipient

December 24th: Entries due! Post em here, send em direct to your recipient, do both! Up to you.

December 25th: We post all the entries in one mammothly festive post (if you'd like to be included!).

If you've any questions, concerns, confessions feel free to message me or @delucadarling here or on Discord.

✨💦💖HAPPY VALENTINE'S 💥EXPLOSIVE💥TITS DAY💖✨💦

It’s this time of the again! Zombies Run Secret Santa, and here’s my gift for @runnerzero, who wouldn’t mind to be tortured with season 2 angst.

… as always, I am bringing the holiday cheer.

Thank you so much @runnerzero for organizing this event and letting a forgetful idiot like me participate. (Also, thank you to the whole zr fan community here, you spoiled me for any other fandom)

HOLY SHIT this gives me so much pain, but in the best fucking way possible. Thank you for dragging me back into my Simon feelings in the year of our lord 2022.

Under Moonchild’s control, you struggle to remember who you were before. The more you fight, the more you start to question: Did you ever really have a choice?

This year, my Secret Santa recipient is abel-runners! I went for something a bit more experimental this year and turned the fic into a simple CYOA game, which you can find on AO3 or play here.  Happy holidays, and I hope you enjoy your gift!

A Janine painting I’ve been picking away at this week! I just had an itch to draw her, and I think she deserves a chance to do something nice and relaxing like working on a car engine. [Alt ID: An illustration of Janine de Luca from Zombies, Run! She’s looking at the engine of a car, standing with one hand resting on the open hood and the other on her hip. She’s in a white tank top and green cargo pants, both with some grease stains. She is being lit from behind by golden sun, and she looks happy and calm]
