Yuletide Hub

Greetings Wanderers!

Throughout all of the realities and worlds the Library is a hub to, many different holidays are observed by various Wanderers. While their origins, histories, and practices are as diverse as the amount of books hidden in our shelves, one thing is for certain - holiday cheer is important to many Wanderers, and best celebrated together.

To celebrate a solar cycle well spent, the Library has decided to host its own holiday event - Yuletide - in which Wanderers come together to exchange gifts with one another. Library Staff organize the event - pairing up Wanderers in a Secret Santa¹ fashion.

Out of character - this page is a collection of each year's participants in the annual Yuletide gift exchange and the gifts they gave!

How to add your gift!

Wait until the event is over and you've been given the okay to post before adding anything to this page!

For Writers:
After the event is over and you've been given the okay to reveal yourself, post the story to the site and add the yuletide tag. That's it! You're done! It'll automatically be added to this page.

For Artists:
If your art is related to WL/suitable to be posted on site, you can post it as a gallery and/or installation page! Similar to writers, once the event is over and you've been given the okay to reveal yourself, post the art to the site and add the yuletide tag.
If your art isn't related to WL/isn't suitable to be posted as a standalone page, you can display it here on the hub page instead. Usually staff will add it for you; however, in the event they don't or you want something changed, you can add it yourself! Use the image code using your image's source link, then outside of that, add whatever caption you want within the provided table section. It's recommended to set the width to 400 to have consistency and to keep the images on the smaller side. If you're stuck, please ask staff for help!

For Everyone:
This is optional; however, everyone is welcome to use the event-specific Yuletide Theme if you post your gift to the site! Instructions on how to add it to your post can be found on the theme page itself.
