I Complain Too Much

Christmas Surprise - Interactive Stuff

Hey wonders! 

I've got a few things that I want to do. But in order to do them, I need a little bit of contribution from the wonders. So, what I will do, is list things. With everything you choose to interact with, please leave an in-line comment based on whatever it is. And be aware: I will probably credit/mention you if it's a question asked, or if it's a suggestion, etc. 

But don't worry. If you'd rather stay anonymous, just send through pm. I swear I'm not terrifying. 

I'm not gonna give any context to anything specific until it goes up, because it's like little presents for you every day. It's gonna be cute. I'm planning on doing a countdown-based thing, starting tomorrow, using the idea of 12 days of Christmas. I am well aware that the 'real' 12 days of Christmas is actually after, but I've basically borrowed the basic idea of 12 days and run with it. 

For the record, it won't be a growing number of things. You won't get 12 updates on the 25th. Because I just can't do that. It's not possible. If I got no sleep and became way too stressed to do any of my holiday homework, then sure, maybe there'd be a chance of that. But I'm sure the wonders are forgiving enough to go with the flow on this. 

I wanted to do something that stemmed from traditions with Christmas, but wasn't just 'XMAS MOMENTS OMG XMAS XMAS XMAS' because I didn't want anyone to feel like they couldn't be involved simply because they don't celebrate it. You're all valid, no matter your cultural or religious identity. No matter where you come from, who you are. Whatever makes us different makes us into the community we have become. So I didn't want to cast anyone out this winter. 

Therefore, all of the presents are things that can be enjoyed, hopefully, by anyone. Some inspirations are festive-linked, but only loosely, and not to the point where your own morals or religions forbid you from taking part. As far as I know. I hope that I've managed to be inclusive here. My whole message right now is diversity and acceptance. So I didn't wanna stray too far from our basic belief. 

Here are the things that I want you to get involved in, but only if you're up for it. You can take part in whichever things you want, and as many as you want. And of course, there is no pressure to even look at these presents. But they're here for you. 

Just in case. 

Interactive parts to surprise:

1: Q and A with author and some of the recurring (or most iconic) characters from her books - BTS, Hyojung, Hyeri, Green Arrow, and 21. 

2: What hints do you want to know about the books currently being written (both the ones you know about and the ones you don't know about ;)    )      

3: are there any plot points or parts of any books, current or completed, that you want to hear the thought process behind? any of these you want explained? Let me know!

4: Which characters do you want to know backstories for, specifically in currently written books? 

5: Any 'writing advice' or 'life advice' questions?? 

These are your deadlines for each thing: 
1: 19th December 2019 , 4pm, GMT
2: 16th December 2019, 4pm, GMT 
3: 20th December 2019, 4pm, GMT 
4: 17th December 2019, 4pm, GMT
5: 21st December 2019, 4pm, GMT 

Expect some sort of announcement for each day with a clarification of where you can find the surprise of the day, and what it actually is. That way it's always clear what's going on. Please do get involved to make this whole thing work, because I can't do so without your input. I love you all, and thank you in advance. 

Izzy.
