Workshop Wonderland

Workshop Wonderland was an annual community showcase and charity event hosted by void~ . Anyone who was willing to participate was encouraged to design winter-themed submissions encompassing anything that could be submitted to the Steam Workshop: weapons, cosmetic items, taunts, War Paints, or maps, and upload them with a special thumbnail designating a contest submission. These would then be compiled into a large showcase at the end of winter, for the community to enjoy. Each participant would receive an in-game medal, as a reward for their time.

In 2017, the showcase was rebranded as Nightmare Before Smissmas, and expanded to additionally include Halloween-themed submissions.

In 2015 and 2016, there was also a charity drive to support SpecialEffect, which would award users who donated over 5 USD to each charity drive with another medal. Players could earn both the participation medal and the donation medal, if they so desired.

"Snowflake" is in keeping with the season, but is also a traditional metaphor for either uniqueness or fragility. Note: clinically exceptional emotional fragility is a serious consequence of developmental delay, requiring accommodation for success in education, and should not be ridiculed. Traditionally, a "special snowflake" was intended as a supportive compliment to someone perceived as unusually different from others. Recently (c. 2000s), "special snowflake" is a criticism of a person who is prone to taking offence from almost anything, or who is too emotionally fragile to cope with views that challenge their own. The item's description refers not only to the fragility of a snowflake, but to an emotional political trigger. Golden Snow, as referenced in the description to the Special Snowflake 2016, refers to biologically contaminated snow. Gallery Workshop Wonderland 2015 advertisement.
