Clexmas is a fanweek, Christmas-themed prompt challenge dedicated to the The 100 pairing of Clexa (aka Clarke Griffin and Lexa). Multiple types of fanworks are accepted as long as they are Christmas/holiday themed, including fanfiction, fanart, gif sets, aesthetic edits, fanvids and fanmixes.
Original Post
Original announcement:[1]
Hey everyone! I was asked to start up a Clexa Christmas event, and I thought to myself why the hell not?! Clextober was a real success and I really enjoy Clexa so here we go! I also noticed that Clexa Week wasn't going to be able to do any of these so don’t fret everyone! You can hit them up for a prompt @clexaweek2018 because they are probably better at it than I am :)
I don't want to exclude anyone so I am thinking of it being Clexa Winter Wonderland type of theme. The whole month of December will be Clexmas. Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Ōmisoka, New Years, or any other holiday you would like to do. 12 days before Christmas I will start a 12 Days of Clexa event that will have a Christmas themed list.

What do you mean it's Clexmas as time? I'm still trying to finish the fic meant for Clextober 😳
(That's what happens when you estimate 5 or 6 chapters and end up with 23+ 😂)
As a little side note, this event last year was what made me start to write in the first place!
Thank you for organizing it once more. It can have quite an impact 😃 Have fun!
