Secret Santa '04! (Finished!)
Mon Nov 29, 2004 6:35 am
The sets have been handed out, and the pairings have been revealed! Click here.<hr>
Well, it's nearing that time of year again when all regain their happy giving spirits. At least this little event's for the giving ones. No Scrooges. ;P
So what's this Secret Santa thing, and what is it doing in the sigs board, you ask? Well, basically it's a loosely organised event in which members make sets for a person randomly chosen for them. Everyone who signs up will get a set (if all works out properly).
The amount of people signing up is NOT limited. Anyone can, as long as they have decent graphic-making ability. Doesn't even have to be that great, but as long as you spend some good effort on your present set, then you're fine. Also, make sure you know you have the time to make a set. Last year, a few people signed up without making anything.
When signing up, you may also mention some of the things you like, just so the person making a set for you will know a little about you (if they don't already), or something a little specific. But give them a little bit of creative freedom, of course!
Signups end December 4th. While signing up, please use this form:
How much time do you want (to work on the set)?
When do you want your set in by?
What kind of things do you want in your set?
All other things will be worked out nearing and after the deadline.
So...have fun!

How much time do you want (to work on the set)? Whatever timeframe works for everyone else - I'm sure I can squeeze this in
When do you want your set in by? As soon as it's convenient for whoever's making it.
What kind of things do you want in your set? I like anime girls, or just drawings of any style, or abstract images or stock photos of any kind are great, especially landscapes or such. Anything is fine, really, although not Christmas please!
(That better, Yoshi?
)

I won't sign up just yet, since I'd like to find out whether I'll be in the country or not
I'm guessing that we'll get our person on the 6th-7th, judging from the deadline for joining. What I want to know is if there's any set date that they have to be finished by

YAY! It back! 
I'm so entering this one!
How much time do you want (to work on the set)? 2-4 days would be fine, but a week sounds much better.
When do you want your set in by? Doesn't matter to me
What kind of things do you want in your set? Wolves, anime (please use pictures of girls, not guys), winter, sunsets, stars, any kind of fantasy, also dogs, furry animals, landscapes and smallville, but you are always welcome to do something else.
Edit: I've put a few more things to choose from.

That's basically what the second question in the form is for. Unfortunately, with all the "I dunno"s so far, it seems as though I may have to make up something.
If so, then it's probably gonna be a little earlier than the 20th (I know you're away then...but that's why the question's there ><). The exchange of sets would be made on the 20th so people can have time to display their presents and stuff.

Ah, alright, thanks In that case, I won't be able to participate. I'll live though ^_^

If people can come up with a date though, who knows if it might get pushed to the 22nd, 23rd, or even the 24th though. ;P
*hints again for people to post a date*

How much time do you want (to work on the set)?
Hm, I could get a decent one done within one weekend day if all goes well, but I think a week would be the best for most people.
When do you want your set in by?
Assuming everyone gets their matches by the 8th of December, I'd say December 15, giving us a week.
What kind of things do you want in your set?
I do like anime girls, as long as they're dressed decently. Animals are cool with me as well. I like a good deal of things, but I think anime girls and animals are on the top of the list.
EDIT:
By animals, I mean real animals. No Neopets, please! Christmas stuff I also wouldn't like, as I might want to use it at different times of the year.

I missed the sign-ups last year...not gonna miss out on this another year.
How much time do you want (to work on the set)? I could finish it in a day, but a week would be good...just so I can think of ideas and try out different things.
When do you want your set in by? I think Im gonna go with what Dawn says, if we have the name by the 8th, up until the 15th should be good.
What kind of things do you want in your set? Anything Anime is fine by me, no neopets or christmas (I want something I can use anytime of the year) though. Suprise Me. lol
