The 12 Days of Charming
HO HO HO, GUESS WHAT: STAFF HAS UNLEASHED YOUR OVERLORD ON 12 DAYS MUAHAHAHA
No but srsly, welcome to
12 Days of Charming!!! We've got a few new people to our lovely community, so to put it
directly quoting from Kayte last year simply: 12 Days is, quite literally, twelve days, in which each day brings with it a new challenge, riddle, or puzzle for you to solve. Complete all twelve to earn the 12 Days stamp!
What are stamps, you ask? WELL! Charming has a great participation program that allows you to collect fancy little stamps for different challenges you do around the board/community! Head on over to our
stamp station to learn more :D
Stamps not your jam? This is for you anyways—each day has one to five (or on some days, unlimited!) prizes available to be won on a first done, first served basis! As always, the December Challenge stamp is buried in there somewhere…
Check back on Friday, December 12 for DAY ONE!

Day III
A little late today, I apologize for that! Congratulations to Lauren who won a Featured Want Ad from yesterday's raffle! Everyone else contributed to their streaks, which you can see here! Also don't forget to DM me your preferred House Points from yesterday!
Y'all, it's been a really fucking hard year. Idk about you but I'm about to put my head thru a wall...
SO we're showing love in more ways than just love notes (that'll come later in the week). Today, your task is to submit
three threads to our
This Thread is Awesome thread. Each thread must be for at least 1 different player (so if one thread has player A and B, then the next thread can have either player A
or B, but has to
also feature a different player too).
EDIT: Pls also make sure to add WHAT you like about the thread into your compliments! After all, it IS about celebrating our community and our glorious writers!! <33

Day IV
Loved seeing the appreciation for our fellow members!! Let's keep it up, yeah? I always love seeing that thread getting replies :D Our Day III winners are
Lauren,
MJ,
Kelly,
Kit and
Chris who all took home a
+1 modifier! Everyone else contributed to their streaks :D
Today for
DAY IV, I need your help!
Four calling birds have been let loose on the board and have replaced characters avatars! Return them to me as fast as you can by PMing me the names of the four characters they've replaced!
PM your post links to this account by 12pm PST Dec 17th!

Day V
Well done everyone!! Our four calling birds have been properly gathered and returned to their nest. Meanwhile the avatars of
Sybilla Rowle,
Sam Leakey,
Nicodemus Dursley and
Dean Hudson have more or less been restored to rights. Congratulations to Kit, Jenna, Fallin and Kelly for each gaining an Immortality Discount! Everyone else contributed to their streaks <3
I've taken liberty of copying one of Kayte's past challenges! We're throwin' it back to 2022 with a
10K LITE (it was easier when we called it Nano but they've gone the way of the dark side aka AI so I better not hear any
'but it's not really 10k since we're not writing 10k words!' xDD) We've got 3 prizes to hand out today, so get your engines started!
There are
two ways to play:
- ROUTE ONE: Post 500 words across all your characters. You will lock in your streak for today, but will not be eligible for a prize.
- ROUTE TWO: Post 1000 words with *one* character. You will not only lock in your streak, but be eligible for a prize.
Once you've figured out what strategy works for you, make sure your word counts are in each post counting towards today's challenge!
PM your post links to this account by 12:59:59 AM PST to qualify!

Day VIII
Ok I have to admit something...I completely forgot that B I N G O often times actually had rows corresponding to the letters, so when some of y'all messaged me saying you got "Row B", I sat at my computer scratching my head for longer than I'd care to admit trying to figure out what part of the assignment
(that I had given you guys) I had misunderstood. I got it tho. -hides-
EMBARRASSMENT ASIDE, let's do a Prize Roundup! Thank you all for participating in BOTH the bingo AND the love notes. It warms my heart to see y'all be so enthusiastic about our community <3 Congratulations to
Té who won the Day VI prize:
A Playlist from Beanie (
Cassius Lestrange) and to
Kit for winning a
Retired Stamp!
ONTO DAY EIGHT. HUZZAH.
We have more community cultivating activities today! As some of you might know, we have quite a few Character Surveys within our Games sub-thread. Some of them have gone by the wayside so I'd like to REVIVE THEM FROM THE DEAD.
I've created new threads for a few of them since we're approaching 2026 (dear GOD how the fuck is it already 2026), so go forth!!! Links to the threads are below!
Main Character Survey | Bridgerton Edition | Character Tag Survey | Character Vices Survey
Your task today is to fill out 2-3 of these. Preferably with different characters to get those creative juices flowing,
but if you only have 1 character, then pls by all means fill it out multiple surveys with that 1 character ^_^
Prize will be
raffled so no rush on getting your responses in first!
PM the links to your responses to this account within 24 hours to qualify!
