Wouldn't it be nice if we all were 100% sure the other members aren't crazy rapists and then we could give out addresses and do some sort of small secret santa? We should invent something to send things to people who haven't told us their adress. Anka's advent calendar thread reminded me about how fun secret santas are, so I figured I'd organize one for this year. Watch this space; I'll be posting more details later. What is Secret Santa?Secret Santa is a December tradition where each participant is assigned a person to give gifts to anonymously, and in turn will receive gifts from their own Secret Santa. How does it work?[/u] Once we know how many people are participants, each person will be randomly assigned a number and a person to give gifts to. I will PM you this information. You will then create a new account with your assigned number and give the gifts using this new account. For example, if you were assigned the number 10 and Dante, you would create the account with the username "secretsanta10" and post presents for Dante. I will be creating a gift-giving thread to post in once all the numbers have been assigned. That sounds fun! How do I participate?Great! Let us know by making a post here with a wish list of 3 things you'd like your santa to give you. They can be pictures, stories, or anything that's feasible to give over the internet. I will then add you to the list with a link to your wishlist. Will my person know it's me that sending them gifts?[/u] Not during the gift-giving period. You may, however, choose to give hints to your identity. On December 25th, once all gift-giving is complete, everyone's identities will be revealed. My person asked for something I don't know how to give! Do I have to give all three gifts?No. It's certainly nice to give all 3, but if you're not able to, don't let that discourage you. Try to give them at least one gift they asked for if at all possible. If you can't do that, then just get them something that you think they'll enjoy. Wait, I'm still confused![/u] If you have any additional questions, ask them here and they will be answered. Important dates to know:[/u] November 30th: last day to sign up closed December 1st or 2nd: Santas will be assigned. December 2nd-December 21st: Send gifts to your people. December 22nd-24th: I PM any slackers that haven't sent their presents yet and bug them to send them. December 25th: Secret Santas will be revealed (or close to this date, at least; I'm not sure if I'll be able to get online on Christmas Day) Participants (19):[/u] ShellyViolet MariePenBat WayneCharlesSophieBryanQ.R.V.Terry CraigBSamLemonaAnkaSherry AnnWillisRellimTryinaBeeLady GranthamSixteen

Yeehaw I like this idea. However I am one of those people who feels like they don't deserve anything, so no one should feel as though they must do something for me.
Alright scratch this I know what I want:
- Any Regina Spektor sheet music. - Some Muffins - A picture of a Hedghog wearing a sweater and eating jam. Drawings are nice.
Have fun.
Reason for edit: I finally have gift ideas

Umm... Okay, Got it- -A fic involving Klausadora, Dunclet, Quiglet and Kliona (One-shot is totally cool) -A picture/drawing of a kitten covered in marmalade -A Fact File about myself written in the third person (Like, AGE:{njnd}, COUNTRY:{vervber},LIKES: {nmvjdn}, SHIPPED WITH: {njhdnidsvnbf, njunndej, njnsjcn}. Stuff like that)
I reckon that's all pretty achievable over the internet. And also there is nothing that will give anyone too much grief. I would be happy to Secret Santa for someone else. Will we be PM'ed with who our secret Santa is?

-The raunchiest ASOUE fanfic you can write -The raunchiest love song you can write -A sweater (but the raunchy kind) <3
Edit: Feel free to replace raunchy words with fruit names or something.
Edit again: But really though you don't even have to do any of these. Anything is cool.
Third edit: For real though my actual list -A song about me -A poem about me -a playlist of music you like or you think I would like
OR THE RAUNCHY THINGS IF YOU WANT I DUNNO

Alright, I'm in as well. Although some of these wishes seem to be not "feasible to give over the internet" at all (sweaters? peppermint bark? Aretha Franklin?). I guess if I'm assigned with someone like, say, Sophie or Shelly, I'll have to come up with something else...? So mine are: - a fic involving 667 members about Tragedy being a serial killer with the icon as his mask. 70s slasher-film-cheesiness is endorsed. - recording of an original humorous song about whatever (doesn't have to be long) - a drawing of how you imagine I look. Caricatures are accepted, because I don't know how you would do that not knowing how I look. - a sweater made of money
