Would You like to Be a Medium Secret Santa?
It’s 2022, and after seventeen years on Medium, I realized nobody ever organized a secret Santa around here.
How sad.
I’m here to help.
Since we all live in different places, we’ll keep this electronic. And since we’re all bloggers begging for tips and referred members, we’ll keep this cheap.
Six simple steps to become a Medium secret Santa this year
Or, how it will work:
- Comment on this article with a link to one of your stories.
- In 5 to 10 days, depending on the idea’s success, I will close the list.
- Thanks to my Ph.D. in Astrophysics, I will then create a model and randomly assign a secret Santa to each participant.
- I’ll leave a private note on the article you chose (see point 1) to let you know for whom you’re a secret Santa.
- You’ll then read this writer’s article, clap, comment, and share a link on Twitter or other social media of your choice (if possible).
- (Feel free to read more of the articles linked in the comments, but there’s no obligation.)
Several Medium top writers are on board:
- “By the roots of my red hair, I love this idea!” — May More
- “You smelly Ratfucker, I’m in.” — Rocky Shores
- “Oh, My Peas! What a wonderful time of the year.” — Bob Merckel
- “Is this another of your pickup lines?” — Zatanna Dark
- “I would even woodchip a woodchipper to be part of this.” — Ann James
- “I’d prefer to remain silent, but yes.” — Grimsby Hackney
- “That’s the kind of dilemma I like.” — Paul Mansfield
And according to a rumor I just made up, Coach Tony and Ev are considering joining.
