Feb. 24th, 2026 08:51 amHi all! I come with a quick update from behind the scenes - I know it looks like there's a lot of works missing, but there's only one assignment we're still checking the status of and everything else is ACCOUNTED FOR.
TWELVE HOURS
Feb. 23rd, 2026 06:29 pmGood timezone, Purimgifters! By my math, there are a little over TWELVE HOURS left until it is no longer February 23 anywhere in the world!
If you’ve already posted, that’s fantastic! If you’ve already reached out to us about an extension or a backup, that’s also fantastic. Either way, now is an excellent time to check out our Posting Guide or our Embed Guide. For your mods’ sanity, please don’t wait until the very last minute to post! We’re happy to double-check tags, HTML, etc. for you; just send us a quick email.
If you’re not absolutely sure you’ll have your fics and art posted in the next 12 hours, you do still have a few options! Please email purim_gifts@yahoo.com ASAP if you think you need one of these.
Extension. If you’re absolutely sure you can complete your assignment, you just need another day or two, this option is for you. To request an extension, please email purim_gifts@yahoo.com!
Partial default. This option is for people who already know they can’t complete their assignment, but who want to post what they can complete. To request a partial default, please email purim_gifts@yahoo.com.
Full default. If you’re absolutely sure you can’t complete your assignment, this option is for you. You can activate it by emailing purim_gifts@yahoo.com, or by hitting the “Default” button at the AO3. Either way, you won’t be penalized for it; life happens, and we get that.
And finally, if you have questions about your options or just need a little encouragement, please email purim_gifts@yahoo.com ASAP. Don’t wait until the last minute to contact us! We’re happy to work with you, but we can’t help you if we don’t know what’s going on, and we do have to sleep at some point. Keep us in the loop and help us help you!

Blame Where It's Due
Keep an eye on your inbox!
Feb. 22nd, 2026 03:54 pmWe have started posting auctions, which means that we have started sending emails with your auction link and the link to submit edits!
Please keep in mind:
- These WILL be coming from our new proton.me email address, so be sure to tell your email client not to send it to spam!
- We will be sending these emails throughout the week. If your friend got theirs and you haven't gotten yours, please be patient. We can only post a few hundred of the 1600 auctions per day.
- Your auctions may not all be posted on the same day. You'll get one email for each auction post - some email clients may put these in one thread together, so keep an eye out for that.
- You will not be notified when edits are made, you will have to check your post. If you still do not see your edits by Thursday evening, and it's been at least 8 hours since you filled out the form, email us to check.
Please remember that just because your post is up for your viewing, does NOT mean that browsing is open in general! Please don't send bidders to check things out until Friday, Feb 27!
ONE DAY LEFT
Feb. 22nd, 2026 01:35 pmHere we are, folks: there is only one days left until the deadline on February 23 (anywhere in the world)!
If you haven't posted all of your fics and art yet, now's a great time to check out our Posting Guide here or our Embed Guide here. For your mods' sanity, please don't wait until the last minute to post! We're available for last-minute tech support, but we do sleep sometimes.
If you're still not quite ready to post, please contact us ASAP! You have a few options:
The backup protocol. This option is for people who’re not sure whether they can complete their assignment, but who really really want to. A backup is a pinch hitter assigned ahead of time. If you complete your assignment, that’s great! If you don’t complete your assignment, you can call it off at the last minute - while your pinch hitter has had time to prepare. To request a backup, please email purim_gifts@yahoo.com.
Partial default. This option is for people who already know they can’t complete their assignment, but who want to post what they can complete. To request a partial default, please email purim_gifts@yahoo.com.
Full default. If you’re absolutely sure you can’t complete your assignment, this option is for you. You can activate it by emailing purim_gifts@yahoo.com, or by hitting the “Default” button at the AO3. Either way, you won’t be penalized for it; life happens, and we get that.
And if you’re not sure which of those options is right for you, please email purim_gifts@yahoo.com ASAP! Please don't leave it until the last minute; the earlier we know what's going on, the more options we have to help you.

Stranger Things: Roll To Charm Person, by harriet_vane
Feb. 22nd, 2026 09:51 amFandom: Stranger Things
Pairings/Characters: Will Byers/Mike Wheeler
Rating: Explicit
Length: 59,047 words
Content Notes: Bullying and homophobia.
Creator Link:
harriet_vane
Theme: Inept in Love, Pretend Couple, Friends to Lovers, Canon LGBTQ+ Characters
Summary: Will needs a date to his mom's wedding. Mike volunteers.
"I have an idea," says Mike.
Ice cubes form in Will's stomach. "How dangerous is it? Like, should I call Dustin to talk you down, or should I call Nancy to be ready to drive us to the hospital?"
"No," says Mike, "you can't tell anyone or it won't work."
"Or what won't work?" Will asks. It's like picking up a rock you know a spider will be under.
Mike gets up and closes Will's door. Hopper doesn't make them keep it open but sometimes Will does anyway, because every now and then lying around alone with Mike on his bed just makes his chest ache too much. If the door is open he can tell himself You can't do anything right now, someone will see.
Mike leans back against the door. His eyes are lit up with that special maniacal gleam that the Wheelers get right before they do something insane, like when Nancy says, "Then we have to go kill Vecna ourselves," or whatever. "Take me to the wedding," says Mike.
"Yeah," says Will slowly, "you'll be at the wedding. Obviously."
"As your date."
Reccer's Notes: They've fixed Hawkins' Upside Down problem (though this predates the final season), and it's the kids' senior year, and Will is worried his mom is worried about him, so Mike hatches a plan to be Will's (fake) date to Joyce and Hopper's wedding because of course he does. That means we've got Will pretending to pretend he's into Mike and Mike playing gay chicken against himself and...losing? winning? both?? Neither of them is doing a great job (or any job) communicating, but their fake relationship thrives and does what all the best fake relationships do, becomes real. A sweet friends-to-lovers romance with just the right amount of agonizing feelings.

New FTH Email Address!
Feb. 21st, 2026 04:33 pmLike many people these days, FTH is trying to detangle ourselves from Google. This won't be quick or easy for several reasons, but this year we've taken one step you'll need to be aware of as a creator or bidder: We've got a Proton email address that we'll be using for some FTH business.
We can't use it for everything, because a lot of our automation will currently only work with gmail. But be sure to add fandomtrumpshate AT proton.me to your email client's allowlist, and look for FTH emails coming from this address as well as our usual gmail!
