Hey entire Basin of Life!

Or specifically the ~thirty-six~ people who signed up for Ironbeard Incognito. First of all: thank you so much! It's been so fun hearing from everyone and getting a little insight into what you like and enjoy, and I've even had the Pleasure of seeing some of your gift ideas. There's lots of questions about how the actual exchange is going to work, so I'm here with answers.

1. If your gift is a physical thing like a garment or jewelry or a painting, send it to me, Nepenthe Dahyu. Include any kind Solstice sentiments or messages for your giftee and I'll make sure it gets to its recipient with all the necessary Epicurean pizzazz.

2. If your gift is an artifact, a personal performance, or something else that can't be easily conveyed through an intermediary, shoot me a message and we'll work out a way to get it delivered with said Epicurean pizzazz.

On delivery, your Incognito identity will be revealed to your giftee so they can thank you and gush over how cool and thoughtful your gift was, and you'll become fast friends forever.


Plenty of folks are still working on their gifts, so don't panic if you're not ready. We're aiming to have all gifts exchanged by the end of 607, which gives you all the rest of this year and next to have designs approved, write your sonnets, embroider your underwear, and otherwise finalize things. If you have any questions, or if you want to employ a Crumkanean to do espionage for you, or if you just want to bounce gift ideas around, holler at me!

Sweetly signed, with cute doodles of Solstice husky faces or something, I dunno, use your imagination,
