Stocking Stuffer 2019 Announcement by TerinasTiger
>Begin Stocking Stuffer 2019 Announcement
You begin loading the demo of a game known as "Stocking Stuffer 2019", which you found a CD of recently and have no idea of what it actually is. Some kind of holiday-themed video game? You are, of course, smugly aware of the fact that this in fact a jokey introduction similar to last year's where a big announcement is teasingly introduced thinly disguised as some sort of joke or reference to something.
Looks like this year it's Homestuck, you surmise.
Looks like this year it's Homestuck, you surmise.
As your flat, servicable LCD display screen begins to display the game, you see a youngish tiger sitting against a cold, slimy stone wall of what looks to be a prison cell. His four paws are in chains, and there apperas to be one of those windows covered in bars just above him, perhaps designed to mock him with a few temptations of what freedom must taste like. The only solace to his confinement is a laptop computer sprawled on the floor next to him, rapidly draining of battery. He looks up from the computer, narrows his eyes at the 4th wall, sighs, and speaks to you directly.
"Oh HELL no. This was not nearly as funny a reference as I thought it'd be."
>Enough of your ridiculous nonsense. Can you just make the announcement already?
The tiger growls at you, scowling and lifting his arms up to gesture around him. "Excuse me? Ridiculous NONSENSE, you say?!?" His tail thrashes angrily. "Do you see where exactly I am? I am being held prisoner in a Mad Scientists's Lair! This is serious buisness. Perhaps even deliriously serious business!"
>Delirioiusly serious business seems like something stupid.
"You're something stupid!!!" The tiger folds his arms, the chains around his paws suspiciously not clanking. "Do you have any idea what kind of bad situation I'm in? How scared I am right now?!? That spooky mad scientist keeps talking about making a "tiger alicorn" and there used to be an anthro eagle and unicorn in here with me until he took them away, so I'm starting to think he meant surgically!"
>Come on man, it's not halloween anymore. It's November!
"Oh HELL no. This was not nearly as funny a reference as I thought it'd be."

>Come on man, it's not halloween anymore. It's November!
The tiger's indignation intensifies. You see him stomp a foot and huff like a tantrumming toddler. Rather pathetic, really. "Oh, so now Halloween has put a moratorium on scary stuff any other time of the year?!?" He snorts and points at his surroundings. "Am I not locked in this room? Are these not real iron chains?"
And then, a moment later, he concedes. "Well, I suppose they aren't really." He breaks one of the chains. "Just paper mache replicas. Honestly, I think the mad scientist just wanted to go for a look." After another moment, he recovers. "But I really am locked in here! It's scary and bad!"
>Can we cut the nonsense and just get to the stocking stuffer?
The tiger nods. "I suppose you're right. This joke's run on far too long anyway." He shrugs, and begins his announcement.
Stocking Stuffer 2019
As I'm rapidly making a tradition for myself, I'm announcing the 2019 edition of my Stocking Stuffer event, a tradition keeping up with my love of the holiday season, and also meant to be a love letter to the Furry and Kink communities I am a part of. During the week of December 22nd to December 28th, I will be uploading a lot of stuff as part of an attempt to bury you all with gifts and love and good will!
But you can participate too!
This is also meant to be a community event, much like Hypno-Bear Week, but vaguely holiday themed!
>So how do I join in?
I'm glad you asked, stand-in for the readers of this journal update! This year, there are three ways to participate. First off, you can upload stories and upwork alongside me between December 22nd to December 28thonto a website of Furry Community such as Furaffinity, Inkbunny, Sofurry, Weasyl, or another website that is publically accessible to anyone without a paywall in front of it.
When you upload, in the tags for your submission piece, include a tag for "Stocking Stuffer 2019", so that anyone searching by that designation can find it easily. Like the tag to this journal! This is important so it can be easily searched for. Then, PM me a link to your submission. I will add it to a master list, updated daily on that week, updated daily.
There's no overall theme for submissions, so you can pretty much submit whatever tickles your fancy. My own PERSONAL theme is going to be "Something Old, Something New", reflecting my desire to complete a lot of unfinished old stories while starting new ones, but that's not in any way shape or form something I'm making other people follow.
It's also appreciated that you mention that it's a Stocking Stuffer 2019 update in the description of your submitted piece. Submissions are categorized as either being "Naughty" (more hardcore stuff focused on kinks like bondage, painful stuff, or just darker material of some sort) or "Nice" (Stuff that ends with happy-ish endings, cuter stuff, and stuff with a more generally positive tone to it) which is also something you should clarify in the description of your submission!
As always, I'll be leading the charge on this, with at least 3 to 5 new written submissions to join in with of varying lengths.
>You said there were other ways to join in. What are they?
The second way you can get involved is financially. Tomorrow, I'll be announcing a week-long Charity Story Commission Auction, just like I did last year, with the proceeds going to the Trevor Project, as they did last year. I decided to make this part of the official Stocking Stuffer 2019 event. The winner (or winners) of the auction will get a story of their request submitted as part of the event, and I'll be giving them kudos for it!
The third way you can get involved, which is every bit as important as the other two, is by spreading the word! Even if you don't want to write or draw something, you're doing me a huge favor just by informing other people that the event is going on, so they can decide if they want to get involved or not. I'll be trying to do PR myself, but between that and writing and my regular life I've got a lot on my plate! So every bit of word-of-mouth helps, believe you me.
>What do we get out of participating?
Well, how about advertising for uploading stuff you might already be uploading anyway?
Whenever someone participates, I do my best to pimp them out on my journal entries, which are seen by an increasing number of followers. I will link to your areas of the internet, encourage people to come look at your stuff, and overall share my userbase with yours. I love celebrating other authors and artists work, and this is another gift I would like to give to you if I can!
>Come on, do you really think anyone's going to bother participating in this?
They have in the past, overly cynical stand-in for the readers of this journal entry!
I really would love to see you join in! It's fun and a way I've made new friends in the past!
>Hey, what about your other projects? Courtship, The Mad Mansion of Dr. Moreau, and whatnot?
The tiger's ears perk, and he sits back to his laptop to type. "There's no time for that now! I hear footsteps. I fear that spooky mad scientist is coming back, this time for me. I don't want to end up another bloodstain on his lab coat, so I've got to write my overly long email calling for help quickly, befo-"
The weird tiger thing's laptop battery has died.
