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 10thFINISHED ART/FIC SUBMISSIONS close December 20th
>>1607I'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. =)
WHEEOO, NOTHING LIKE PROCRASTINATIONIt's done and sent. I hope the requester likes it. I think they will. I had fun writing it.
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!
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.
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.
I am going to need just a leeeetle more time as well, since I am predictably terrible at deadlines!
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.
>>1637Myself as well. Sorry for the inconvenience :V
My apologies of adding on to unfinished gifts as well, but tomorrow evening, I should be able to get mine in.
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. :(
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?
>>1652The 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.
>>1653Yea, 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!
This anon got hers done. It wasn't easy, but I HOPE it's at least compelling.
Late to the party but hopefully my contribution won't disappoint!
Mine is finished and sent in!Hope it's not too late.
Huzzah! I just sent my entry in. Feels good to have finally finished. I just hope my giftee likes it.
(Mostly) Finished! I hope my Santee isn't horribly disappointed with it.
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...
okay helpers have been notified for the unfilled requests
>>1675I hope that mine went through! :D
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 :ci feel so bad.
Ah shit - sorry to the helper as well.Still sending mine in, gah sorry!
>>i'm sorry to the helper who got assigned my person's request, i'm still sending mine inDitto, I thinkMuch more difficult than expected.I feel bad about it, I'm sorry helper.
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. :<
Sent my helper request in. I hope the receiver likes it! These are fun!
Dang, I can't wait til all the art and fanfics are up... I'm like a little kid waiting for Christmas!
Submitted mine. Psh, me- late?! NONSENSE.
Completion: 3/5thsCould do with fixing up: 3/5thsDeadline: Dec 20thTime management? What's that?
I'm so excited for tomorrow! I hope everyone gets a gift this year!
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.
Anyone absolutely terrified to bits that their santee will think of their gift? Because I know I am.
>>1736Solution: 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.
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.
OH GOD I CANT WAIT OR PUNCTUATE
I am terribly excited about this.
>>1736I am in the exact same boat.
>>1751Thirded. 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.
>>1751Ditto.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.
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.
are we STILL waiting on 5 people? It'll be New Years before the threads go up.
>>1752Fourth'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!
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
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.
>>1762Or that it's karmic retribution for making a shitty gift. :\
>>1762Don't worry, me too.
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/.
>>1768Why did I become scared $hitless all of a sudden...and extremely excited...
can we lock the thread now? I think the SS is done and nothing of value is in this thread.
