I'm really interested in another Secret Santa this year. I think even if this doesn't get too many replies you should let people know on other sites. I don't think /inception/ gets many clicks.

Last year was mega fun, I'd be stoked to offer my services! Like iBro said though, I'd recommend posting about it in /fanfic/ and /fanart/ and their Adult counterparts.

If anyone does make other threads to advertise, please hop into the TF2 Circlejerk on Steam right away to tell us, so that we can sticky them proper. I'm a bit tired tonight and don't quite know the best way to promote this, so I'll leave that to the better understanding partakers of this seasonal event.

I could help, I organised most of one, one year.

I definitely want to participate in this again! Had fun the last two years, so I've been looking forward to another round of Secret Santa (which is so far the only time I ever contribute to the site, which I still feel bad about considering I really need to write more).

I eagerly await the official release!

Awesome! Thanks for replying, guys.

I’ve had a few people on tumblr ask me about it as well; they’re lurkers here but they’d like to participate. I’ve told them it’s not a problem, but should I post a notice on tumblr or is this a TF2chan regulars only event?

Also, I’ve been asked if we allow Gmod/SFM images in place of drawings. My inclination is to say yes, provided they’re of a decent artistic quality, since some artists use Gmod/SFM as their primary means of creative expression, but what do you guys think?

I’ll make sure to ask a mod to sticky the proper Secret Santa thread with the guidelines and sign-up information when I post it, probably by the end of next week. I’ll also post notices on /fanfic/, /afanfic/, /fanart/ and /afanart/.

Thank you! I’ll be sure to let you know if I find myself in need of a helping hand. Do you have an e-mail address I can use to contact you? I've added mine in case you'd prefer not to post yours publicly.

I think that sfm and gmod should be allowed. As long as it makes sense for the prompt I don't see a problem.

Forgive me for recycling an old thread, but the subject's still the same.

Are we going to have another Secret Santa this year (2013)? I unfortunately couldn't join the Halloween Colab, so I want to make up for it with our annual Secret Santa event. Judging from past events and the Halloween colab., people seem to really enjoy these community projects.

So, anyone interested in another round of Secret Santa fun?

I'm definitely game for a Secret Santa thing. I've still got a bunch of projects I need to finish, too, but I hope to get some done on them this week, since I can't record any vo stuff while I'm sick.

I'm definitely interested. I just can't contribute anything until after the thirteenth because finals hell. However, after that, I'm free.

I'm in

Wow, people are still interested!? This is great!

As much as I would love to volunteer to host the event, I can't help but remember the last time I did a community project on a forum a long, long time ago that ended up sparking a flame war over the winner of a fanfic contest because of there were rumors going around they cheated or had help bumping their votes to win. If you think you can handle the Santa Project, then that'd be awesome, or at least someone willing to help out in handing out people's prompts to one another.

so idk if this is still a thing but i would love to participate in a secret santa if there is gonna be one? i have a lot of questions, most arent actually relevant to what i am going to do. but like can you ask for tf2 ocs in the secret santa, or is it just canons? if people are writing instead of drawing is there a separate thing for writers or is it all bunched together like. idk why i ask but i gotta know. i just wanna know what to expect in terms of the request of others and then what i should request myself ... yeah!! yeah

In the past it's all been together, but you can say what you're willing to fill and what you'd like to receive. Like, last year, I gifted someone a piece of writing, but I received a piece of art from someone. Personally, I always give them three prompts for adult fic, three prompts for genfic, three prompts for adult art, and three prompts for genart, and then the gifter can pick whichever of them they're comfortable with, and I still get to be surprised. I don't believe everyone does this, though, but it's not a bad idea.

I don't know the rules on OCs, though. I'm not sure if they're strictly allowed. Usually it's just canon characters, but rules change from year to year, so who knows, with this one?

And as to taking the reigns on it, I'd love to but I can't. My grandmother's in the hospital this year, and things aren't looking great, so I'd never know if I'd have to drop everything and go to a funeral. If it weren't for that, I'd take it up in an instance, and I still plan to be a participant; just not an organizer.

Excellent! I can't wait to get this going! I'll be working on my 3 prompts within the next 24hrs. I don't expect a big turn out this year being how quiet the chan's gotten but hopefully still as enjoyable! Whither small or big, this is one of the best community projects I always want to be a part of for TF2Chan!
