Welcome to TF2chan's Secret Santa 2010! If you've never done this before, the basic idea is you give and receive a gift, but everyone's 'Santa' and 'Santee' are chosen at random, to be revealed later.

If you want to participate, just send an email with the following to the address above (click on my name);

- Your USERNAME (or just anon)
- Your REQUEST
- Whether you'd like it DRAWN or WRITTEN, or if you DON'T MIND
- Whether you want to DRAW or WRITE your gift (you can choose both)

If there aren't enough drawfags or writefags, we'll need volunteers to pick up the slack, or for people who fail to submit their art before we (Rev and Exi) submit it to the chan on Christmas Day. If you want to volunteer, please say so in your email.

APPLICATIONS close December 10th
FINISHED ART/FIC SUBMISSIONS close December 20th

>> No. 849

I hope my email went through this time ahhhhhh
>> No. 850
If you can make adult request could it be possible to ask to NOT receive an adult request? I'd like to do this but I'm not too comfortable with drawing the manwangs and then posting them on the internet for others to see.
>> No. 853
Also, when requesting adult stuff, guys: ask for a worksafe request alongside it in case the artist/writer who receives isn't comfortable with wangs or boobs or whatever.
>> No. 855
I am all over this.
>> No. 858
You bet I'm in!
>> No. 862
Sent! Awesome. Excitement abounds.

Submitted this morning. I am excite.
>> No. 866
Submitted! I can't wait to see all the wonderful drawings and fanfics and Gmods. :D
>> No. 868
Hmm, are G-Mods allowed? I would think so, right?
>> No. 869
I don't think Gmods would be allowed unless specifically asked for? Unsure on this matter. What does everyone think?

Perhaps if you ask for a gmod you should be allowed to get one? Otherwise fic/art only.
>> No. 870
>>869
agreed! also, I'm volunteering to fill in for any missing artists :>
>> No. 873
Oman, oman. Can't wait to get started.
>> No. 879
Doin' it! I am totally excite as well.
>> No. 886
Takin' part, why not.
>> No. 901
I think it'd be easier for the project-runners if we all put in add-ons or restrictions to our requests / what we're able to do.

Maybe, if applicable, everyone could add a little section on the bottom for extra things you're willing to accept / contribute (e.g. if you've got gmod skills), and extra things you're not willing to accept / contribute (e.g. if you don't do smut / explicitly don't want adult-oriented things in return).

It might make organization flow a lot smoother.

No GMods. Come on, how many of you would feel gypped if your request was fulfilled with a GMod?
>> No. 905
>>848
Aw ffff. I would have added that my request could be adult if I had seen this (would be preffered actually).

Is there any chance that can be added onto the end of mine? Sorry to bother.
>> No. 908
I love secret santa
>> No. 917
I missed last year, all sent in for this year! I love picture prompts actually so I'm excite for what I'll get to draw.

Maybe with the cut off date being kinda early, there is a feasible way for doing this, but can we make a plan for folks who bail on the requests or simply don't have the time to complete them?
Last year I made 2 gifts and never received my own.
Sux bro.
>> No. 972
>>959
The plan for the bailers/no time currently is for those who've volunteered to step in to do some extra drawings. If there is not enough to fullfil them exi and I can step in, we don't have our own requests in this, but we're fine with doing a few who don't have their requests filled.
The amount of time between the cutoff date and the posting is also to account for those who have /almost/ finished and sent an e-mail saying that. But that means the image/story must be finished the day before
>> No. 973
I am very excite. I can't wait to get started.
>> No. 989
\o/ all signed up and ready to write some fics
let's hope i actually get something this year

Goddamn I am all over this like cheese on rice.

E-mail sent. My creative juices are simmering in the pot and are ready to boil over with creativity!
>> No. 1093
I am willing to bet a slice of cheesecake that we will not have enough drawfags. And I love cheesecake.
>> No. 1101
>>1093
Not the cheesecake!!
>> No. 1136
>>1093
I don't know about other drawfags, but at least i could take an extra request or even two if there really aren't enough. But i'm not sure i could make it in time for dec 20.
>> No. 1160
Forgot to add this to email, but I am totaly willing to take on up to 2 extra requests.
>> No. 1173
I think I added this to my email but I don't quite remember. I'd also be happy to take on extra requests if people bail.
>> No. 1241
want to join in on this but...can't think of a good request :/
are the last years posts up anywhere?
>> No. 1296
Sent my email a week ago I think. I don't mind helping with one other request though than just the first per mine.

Hopefully if I didn't end up deleting the reply to my email :s
>> No. 1297
>>1296
Yea, are we suppose to get a reply email? Cus I sent mine in.. November and didn't get anything back yet.
>> No. 1299
I think we'll get our replies in our e-mails once the applications are closed, so, Friday afternoon? Keep an eye out folks, I'm sure they're getting everything ready for names to be swapped out.
>> No. 1302
I'm so excited even though I'm going to work my ass off on my request.
NO TEENY LITTLE TWO PAGE DRABBLES FOR ME. Aiming for at least six pages. Hope it's something violent.
>> No. 1314

>> No. 1482
Just emailed in my finished drawing! I took some liberties on the request but I hope they like the picture. : ) Too much fun!
>> No. 1493
FFFFFFFFNO WRITER'S BLOCK GO AWAY I DO NOT WANT YOU RIGHT NOW. Come back in five days ffffffu.
>> No. 1500
>>1493
I know what you mean, my prompt was just crazy weird for me so I've been kind of ffffffuuuuuuu the last couple days. It's the pressure, man. But inspiration PUNCHED ME IN THE FUCKING FACE a few hours ago and it's actually turning out good =D

I hope my Santee likes it that's always the worst part, waiting to hear what they think
>> No. 1502
>>1500
I got a prompt that left a lot to my discretion, so since it wasn't stated that it had to be happy, it's gonna be hella sad.
Hope that's cool. c:

what is wrong with me
>> No. 1507
...I hope my giftee doesn't mind me completely drabbleifying his thing.
School is crushing my writing time. Why is school doing this now?
>> No. 1524
I'm gonna need a beta for my fic, but I guess the beta thread disappeared since the forums got wiped?

I want to get this thing looked over but I don't want to actually get my santee by some crazy stroke of luck. What should I do?
>> No. 1526
>>1524
Well since you're still anon you could probably just say at the beginning the prompt.(I mean, it's no spoiler that someone's going to be filling their request called 'anon anyways) And hopefully the person who owns that prompt won't continue to read?
Meanwhile mine's pencilled... lots of work to do.
>> No. 1528
Well, I'd rather not post it on the boards. If anyone wants to beta they can email me. The pairing is Demo/Sniper. If you requested that you need not apply.
>> No. 1531
>>1528
I'll pick that up. That's email to watch for up in the email field.
>> No. 1573
Sent mine out. LOTS of fun to draw, put a good 6+ hours into it, haha, hopefully it is enjoyed.

There we go. Sent it in and an impressive amount of stress was just lifted. The fuck? Apologies for it being a drabblerush. Gotta go write an essay now.
>> No. 1591
I am SO SORRY, giftee. Spy's head is the biggest thing on the page, and he's not even looking at you (out of the page). I still hope you like it though.
>> No. 1592
Sent mine in earlier this afternoon. Ran into kind of a block with the coloring (and a timecrunch) so I hope you don't mind that it's mostly uncolored ; n ;

>> No. 1597
I might be a little late posting mine. I got a late start because my stepdad decided to wait until just now to start putting up decorations.
>> No. 1598
>>1596
apperently there's more triggers than that, concidering I can't recall the last time I typed it. Good to know though, thanks!

I'm excite for the reveal! Just sent my finished piece in tonight. Happy Holidays all!
>> No. 1603
FFFFFFFFffffffffffffuuu--

I might not make it in time. Shit. Sketch is taking me forever.
>> No. 1604
Aaaa- Sorry, gonna be a bit late too. I hyperextended one of my main fingers on my drawing hand. But by Zeus I'll get it in before Christmas!
>> No. 1605
Got a scare when I initially sent it in on Friday and double-checked tonight to find it hadn't gone through. Bleh. Hopefully it went off without a hitch this time.

And I have to say, out of all the requests I thought I would receive in this I was not at all expecting what I got. It was definitely a challenge for me, but I enjoyed writing it and I hope the person who requested it enjoys it. <3
>> No. 1606
Oh yeah, mailed mine off yesterday. Hope it's not too bad and the giftee likes, I've been too dang busy to do much more than what I did.
>> No. 1607
Try to get them in for today folks! I can accept there's gonna be a few stragglers, but if you can't get it in within the next day or so I'll need to know so we can ask a helper.
>> No. 1621
Mine will be in before the end of tomorrow, definitely. Just finishing up this 'Finals Week' nonsense and it'll be good to go.
>> No. 1622
Finals have been consistently kicking my ass over the last week. I'm done now and I have time to write something, but I don't know that I'll be able to finish by tonight. I should have something in by tomorrow evening at the latest.
>> No. 1623
>>1607
I'm not sure if you already have helpers picked out, but if you needed a little extra help I'm sure I could whip something up. Just email me if the need arises. =)
>> No. 1625
WHEEOO, NOTHING LIKE PROCRASTINATION

It's done and sent. I hope the requester likes it. I think they will. I had fun writing it.
>> No. 1632
I'm so sorry! I have a research paper due tomorrow so I had to work nonstop on it. My picture is almost done, and I'll definitely get in by tomorrow, no matter what!
>> No. 1633
I hate to add to the growing pile of unfinished gifts, but my computer won't hold a charge long enough for me to work on it. I'll finish by the end of the 21st for sure.
>> No. 1634
I should be done with my own in a couple of hours or at most during the day on the 21th. Sorry for the short delay.
>> No. 1636
I am going to need just a leeeetle more time as well, since I am predictably terrible at deadlines!
>> No. 1637
I should have my prompt done either by midnight, Pacific time, or mid-day tomorrow. I apologize for the tardiness, I seemed to be writing more than I thought I would.
>> No. 1640
>>1637
Myself as well. Sorry for the inconvenience :V
>> No. 1646
My apologies of adding on to unfinished gifts as well, but tomorrow evening, I should be able to get mine in.
>> No. 1648
I'm adding last touch-ups on mine! Sorry for the delay, but I passed out yesterday after another allnighter of commissions and diploma, and was unable to finish the request on time. :(
>> No. 1652
Adding to the list of apologizes, but between the gift trying to be worked on and trying to balance real life issues, I'm just glad I was able to finish off over night. Maybe next year we can have a two week work period just in case of unexpected real life issues?
>> No. 1653
>>1652
The main problem was we organised it pretty late this year. Next year perhaps the sign-ups start mid november and end near the beginning of december? That way you can easily get two weeks to do things.
>> No. 1654
>>1653
Yea, I totally forgot the week of my finals were last week. Many a sleepless night has ended.

I shall also add to the list of apologies, but I'm glad I at least got it done and hope the recipient will be happy with it!
>> No. 1657
This anon got hers done. It wasn't easy, but I HOPE it's at least compelling.

Just sent the email. Hopefully nothing went wrong in the processes of sending it... Added something extra into the gift, hope the giftee doesn't mind. Oh, geez, I'm exhausted...

oh my god i'm a terrible person- I SENT AN E-MAIL BACK I'M SORRY.

i worked really hard on my gift but i couldn't find this thread and i couldn't remember the due date and i'm sorry! ):

i'm sorry to the helper who got assigned my person's request, i'm still sending mine in tonight, and i guess my person will get two things :c

i feel so bad.
>> No. 1678
Ah shit - sorry to the helper as well.
Still sending mine in, gah sorry!
>> No. 1684
>>i'm sorry to the helper who got assigned my person's request, i'm still sending mine in

Ditto, I think

Much more difficult than expected.

I feel bad about it, I'm sorry helper.
>> No. 1689
I feel like the biggest king douche, but hey I at least turned mine in, even if it's late.

Sorry to the helper if you already started on my request. :<

I bloody hate it when I think of something I want more than what I requested once it's way too late. Oh well. Some happy gore is always nice.
>> No. 1736
Anyone absolutely terrified to bits that their santee will think of their gift? Because I know I am.
>> No. 1737
>>1736

Solution: assure yourself that they'll think it's horrid and that you're a terrible person. If your preconceptions are dashed, it will be a good thing.
>> No. 1738
There are five of you left to hand in secret santas, we will be submitting the thread soon, please have your work in ASAP. Seriously mang otherewise I'll have to call on some helpers to do a complete rush job and you've said you'll do it.

Thirded. I do hope they like it--I even tried incorporating both of their suggestions into one piece and I'm keeping my fingers crossed in wishing it's what they had in mind.
>> No. 1753
>>1751

Ditto.

Had to rush quite a bit, as I was very late due in part to thinking I had been replaced by a helper already which I don't think is the case. Anyways. Yeah.
>> No. 1756
HFFFFFFFFFF oh boy oh boy, cannot wait. If you still need helpers I can whip up a drabble or something really quick if it helps the stuff get posted.
>> No. 1758
are we STILL waiting on 5 people? It'll be New Years before the threads go up.
>> No. 1761
>>1752
Fourth'd.
My look on receiving my gift is the fact that it's the thought that counts. Someone put their time and effort into it. Plus you get a cool piece of art/fan-fic made just for you (And it's free too)!

I at least hope the stuff is up by tonight. Still can't wait! Come on you five people, Move that gear up!
>> No. 1762
Is anyone else extremely paranoid that they're one of the five people whose requests aren't getting filled because the person who got them thought it was stupid and now thinks less of me tor requesting it
>> No. 1763
Christmas is almost over in most places, if they haven't finished at this point I think it's safe to say that they aren't going to do it.
>> No. 1764

Or that it's karmic retribution for making a shitty gift. :\
>> No. 1765
>>1762
Don't worry, me too.
>> No. 1767
If you're going to post the gift thread on New Years, you could send me the requests so I could try and do a rush job.

Guys, the thread opened up over in /dis/.
