You look outside your window to see a robed figure in an impeccable hat. Your first thought is that it resembles one of the Masters, but not one you would normally recognize. The figure is busily hammering a heavy wooden stake into the virgin Neath-snow. After grasping the top of the post and giving it a good shake to see if it’s sturdy enough, the figure picks up a large wooden board from behind it and hangs it aloft from the top of the post. Along the top of the board is engraved “Mr. Underhill’s 1899(.3) Christmas Card Requests”. Below the label is a long list of name slots followed by tiny tumblers with various symbols resembling the ubiquitous Christmas Cards that circle around this time of year.
The figure turns to you and nods. “Please do let me know if you find any problems with it. Happy Christmas!”

For every year since 2013, I’ve made and shared lists of FL players seeking particular Neathmas cards and bonuses. After a few years of curating the list manually, I mostly automated the process using Google Docs, and this year I’ve made a new sheet for your perusal.
Feel free to leave your name and preferred cards or to look up other players seeking the card you currently have to give out. Here is a link to last year’s sheet, for reference.
Until this year’s sheet fills in I’ll be trying to use the usual sources to give out my initial batch. Please let me know if there are any technical difficulties. You’d think after eleven years I’d have it down by now, but with computers, you never know. Cheers, and Happy Holidays, in and out of the Neath!
Thank you for this, i had no clue what i was going to do with my cards but this is an easy way to see who needs what.
Merry Christmas, from yours truly, Penea.
I just want to give out all my cards before the new batch of cards arrive after one week.
I will give a card to each of the names on ‘Fallen London Christmas Card Requests 2024’, reciprocity is welcome, but optional.
And anyone who gives me a card, I will give one back if I have a spare card.
Edit:
I tried but I simply could not add the contacts for Penea, Contrariwise and Blast Fantastic to my list of contacts. Therefore, I gave MrUnderhill89 and Cathy Raymond two cards each.
I just wanted to pump up my Making Waves a little before Time the Healer arrives later this week. I don’t want to be distracted.
I have three cards remain, anyone who gives a card will get one back. While stocks last.
Oh, for me its probably because I was not in the right setting, I was up in the sky castle pursuing my ambition.
If you still have any cards I would be happy to take one, and could you tell me what type you’d prefer in return (since your name isn’t on the sheet, and I would like to give you a card that helps out)
Yours truly, Penea
I think after you have 100 or so contacts, you need to delete some to add more. That’s what I had to do to add some of the new contacts I sent cards to this week. (btw, apologies to anyone I dropped who is still actively playing. I’ll add you back if you let me know who you are again.)
