2006-11-29 [Just.Kate]: Yay! Please list this page in your livejournals, myspaces, Elftown moods, etc!

2006-11-29 [someelf]: This sounds fun o.o

2006-11-29 [Just.Kate]: I'm hoping it will become a time honoured tradition!

2006-11-29 [someelf]: *Nods* That would be awesome :D

2006-11-29 [Intolerant Of Hatred]: Yay... :-D

2006-11-29 [Perplexity]: A really nice idea! Who doesn't like to get gifts?

2006-11-29 [Just.Kate]: And giving is fun too!

2006-11-29 [someelf]: I love to give ^^ I got thousends of prezzy's for my loved ones here :D

2006-11-29 [Linderel]: :3

2006-11-29 [someelf]: *Even donated to the WWF for animals* ^-^ But dun tell anyone ^__^

2006-11-29 [Rennie]: I wasn't going to do it for time constraints, but I think i will go ahead and do it. This really is a nice gesture. :)

2006-11-29 [Just.Kate]: YAY! Crap... Uh. You need to put up what theme you want your gift to have, lol... Sorry I didnt do it for mine, but I honestly have NO idea yet. o_o

2006-11-29 [Cia_mar]: can a theme be like i say "pencil art" or does it have to be more specific like... "hope", "friendship" "toys" "snow"?

2006-11-29 [Just.Kate]: Uhm. Its your gift, so you can put as much or as little detail as you would like. :)

2006-11-29 [Cia_mar]: yes i know that but about telling you the theme... i assumed you meant that we telll the theme there where we are signing up? that is why i asked.. that is all

2006-11-29 [Just.Kate]: -giggles- I meant that your theme is for your gift, so if you have no preferences, then you can put "no preference", or if you want a specific medium, then you can put that, or a character, or an actual theme, such as love or hope. And yes, your theme should be [Nameless One] - Theme

2006-11-29 [Cia_mar]: gotcha! lol

2006-11-29 [Rennie]: like that kieli?

2006-11-29 [someelf]: *blinks* You all got me confuzed. I should but that behind my name for my gift or for the gift I am making? o.O

2006-11-29 [Rennie]: I think its for what you would like to recieve from someone else.

2006-11-29 [someelf]: I thought so. But I am not sure so I am just asking again ^-^

2006-11-29 [Cia_mar]: yeah that was why i asked too! lol

2006-11-29 [someelf]: And I am asking it again because that all *points previous comments* I got confuzed of. ^^'

2006-11-29 [Cia_mar]: *looks sheepishly at elfy* sorry for that! lol
i think the "- no preference" is great because that way 1. the artist giving can be creative, and 2. because if there were a pref and it was something that the artist was not good at makeing, it will not be frustrating for the giver to make it! lol

2006-11-29 [someelf]: ^-^ *Smiles* Is okay :D *goes to work with her art* :3

2006-11-29 [Ocean Soul]: So.. is the emailaddress required or not ? ._.

2006-11-29 [Yuriona]: Or do we send them in a PM to you [Just.Kate]?

2006-11-29 [Mom]: I think we should PM or she can also get them from out pictures when we email them to her.

2006-11-29 [moonscale]: This is so sweet! I'd like to participate but then it would be an odd number.

2006-11-29 [Cia_mar]: still plenty of time to sign up... well sort of.. 2 days? i think,,, um aybe only 1... oops just noticed the date... when did the time go by so fast for this year it is almost over!!!!!  @.@

2006-11-29 [Just.Kate]: So long as someone will step up and do an extra piece, we can have an odd number :) I'll do it.

2006-11-29 [Just.Kate]: And yea, what [Mom] said.

2006-11-30 [Just.Kate]: I took the liberty of adding [moonscale] while it was uneven, so no excuses for not entering! Hehehe... Just add your theme, hun. :)

2006-11-30 [Elisha Kelly]: just to uneven it again :P

2006-11-30 [The Red Baron]: Happen in CST? As in "Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis" (medical condition abbreviated as CST)? Sorry, couldn't shake off the resemblance. I'm afraid I don't celebrate Christmas, and I can't afford sending presents to long distances at the moment, but I'm an artist of the written word. Can that work for this sort of thing? Just curious.

2006-11-30 [Linderel]: No one is sending presents to long distances. :D All presents are received digitally, by way of e-mail. :)

2006-11-30 [The Red Baron]: Roger roger.

2006-11-30 [Elisha Kelly]: I think you would have to ask [Just.Kate], but I don't think It would be a problem :P

2006-11-30 [Balthizar]: I think this is an awsome idea^^ Cant wait to sign up.

2006-11-30 [Linderel]: Actually, writing works better for me, too. Photography as well. I can draw a little, but I don't really think anyone would be really delighted of receiving anything I've drawn. :P

2006-11-30 [The Red Baron]: Why so? Please excuse people, I must go to sleep now, I need it... badly.

2006-11-30 [Yuriona]: Argh [Linderel]. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with your artwork. Anyone would be delighted to receive something you've obviously worked hard on. However, if you are more comfortable with literature or photography I am certain no one would complain.

2006-11-30 [Linderel]: ...sowwy. ._. *goes hide under a rock*

2006-11-30 [Balthizar]: I agree with [Yuriona], your art is rather good and I like it^^.

2006-11-30 [Linderel]: Eep. Thank you. :] ... yeah, sorry. I'm so used to putting myself down that I don't know how to stop and instead start having a little more faith in myself. I'll just shut up for now. :P

2006-11-30 [Balthizar]: No dont do that. Self-critisim can cause a person to try harder in hopes to prove to themselves that they are better. Just dont take it too far ^^. You are rather good, and if you look at your art, you can tell you have faith in yourself.

2006-11-30 [Linderel]: I've always taken my self-criticism a bit too far. <_< Only recently I've begun to have some confidence, but still on some level I think all I've ever done is shit. xD

2006-11-30 [Balthizar]: I think everyone has the same level somewhere inside them. Its the only way we can improve. But anywho, Hi all!

2006-11-30 [Linderel]: *waves timidly* Halloes. :3
And I think goodnight on my part. It's four AM, and my cold is trying its best to kill me. <_<

2006-11-30 [Balthizar]: Awww, what are you doing up so early?

2006-11-30 [Linderel]: Up so late, more like. :P I was supposed to go to bed like two hours ago, at the latest.

2006-11-30 [Balthizar]: Ack><. Alrighty then, why are you up so late?

2006-11-30 [Linderel]: Computer, the source of all evil. :P And Elftown, naturally. :D

2006-11-30 [Balthizar]: Ahhh, makes sense. Whelp, I must be going. You all have a good night/morning. And [Linderel], get some sleep you silly person^^.

2006-11-30 [someelf]: It's 3:03 AM with me X_x

2006-11-30 [Linderel]: Aye-aye. ^_^

2006-11-30 [Linderel]: You are only a little less insane than me, [someelf]. xD

2006-11-30 [someelf]: ^-^ I can't sleep even though my eyes are hurting ^^' I need to finish this drawing.. And I am cleaning it but it doesn't worrrrrrk >___< *whacks head on desk* v.v stupid gimp ;_;

Ooooh but I ish very insane! People even are scared of me drooling over them! >XD *grins*

2006-11-30 [Linderel]: zOmg. :O
Good luck with the drawing, GIMP can be a bitch sometimes. *knows*

I shall go to bed now. Really. <_< G'night! :D

2006-11-30 [someelf]: *Nods* X_x I drew in real life and now i am trying to clean the picture up on the comp but it's not really working out so well >XD *bops pic* but Zab said I should try so I am v.v;;

Nighty night! Sleept tight! Let the angel watch over you, or else I will too! :3

2006-11-30 [Malnu]: hmmm...thanks for the invite... not sure if I have the time or not, but possibly...Still trying to get back to normality.

2006-11-30 [Balthizar]: Hmmm....Hi all! Im honestly off to bed now...*goes off to play WoW for it has stolen his soul and refuses to give it back*

2006-11-30 [nathie]: this is such a sweet idea! damn, i can´t participate, because my schedule is too tight, my publisher thinks i´m his minion LOL but i have a really pretty , naughty boy in red xmas lingerie if the numbers are not fitting - if you want. :)

2006-11-30 [Just.Kate]: We'd love to have you, Nathan! :) I like pretty naughty boys >_>; Hehehe...

Additionally, I am considering extending the sign up deadline by a week. Do you all think that would still be enough time to draw something spiffy?

2006-11-30 [nathie]: ah, i just can offering ready pictures i have drawn, sorry. i´d love to join, but i signed a new contract and they have alot of work for me. i think that idea is so cute, if i had freetime i´d join. :)

2006-11-30 [Just.Kate]: I'll tell you what. You can be our goto person if we get an odd number of people :) Do you mind that?

2006-11-30 [Shjahjdahdvwa]: how do we know to whom we are going to give the art?

2006-11-30 [Just.Kate]: Those will be assigned once the deadline for signups is over. :)

2006-11-30 [Ocean Soul]: Love the idea :) We did this kind of thing back in school every year. Not with art though, but with little presents.. and you didn't know who was going to give something to you :3

2006-11-30 [Just.Kate]: Yup, you wont know till Christmas ^^

2006-11-30 [nathie]: yep, no prob.
just drop me a line and you get a xmas guy. XD

2006-11-30 [Lerune]: I'd love to do this...but there are an even number right now. ;_;

2006-11-30 [Yuriona]: Put your name up there or I'll post it for you - and I don't think you want me to post what you want for Christmas.

2006-11-30 [Just.Kate]: xD Nathan has promised to do the odd person out, so dont worry about even or odd numbers anymore!

2006-11-30 [Yuriona]: Oh look Runey! Now its odd again! *adds your name*

2006-12-01 [The Red Baron]: Like I said previously, if any odd one is needed, feel free to cancel out the oddball (meaning moi). I mean, what sort of faugh! Never mind.

2006-12-01 [Calico Tiger]: LOL! I shoulda known Runey would agree with me about Zuko even though we've never discussed Avatar before I tell ya, two peas in a pod

2006-12-01 [Lerune]: He...is...hawtness. =o9

2006-12-01 [Shjahjdahdvwa]: I should've asked a naked Vinci lol

2006-12-01 [Rennie]: So [Just.Kate], I'm assuming you will personally message each participant with whom they are doing their gift for, yes?

2006-12-01 [Just.Kate]: YupYup! Can you guys try to get a few more people, in, and I'll extend the deadline by a day? Or would you prefer I message you with your recipients now?

2006-12-01 [Rennie]: I would personally prefer that you just close it and send us the names now (personally, I don't have internet at home, and this weekend is the only time I will have to do anything)

2006-12-01 [Cia_mar]: now is fine!

2006-12-01 [Yuriona]: Now is good for me too!

2006-12-01 [Jitter]: Now sounds good :)

2006-12-01 [Just.Kate]: A resounding unanimous vote! I shall get right to it!

2006-12-01 [Jitter]: *smiles*

2006-12-01 [Just.Kate]: Donovan here, a good friend of [Just.Kate]'s. Since she is participating, she did not think it would be in the spirit of the event to set up the matches herself, and has therefore allowed me to do it for her. Please check your messages, and the person who got [Just.Kate], please delete the message asap. I will delete it from her inbox once you have read it.

2006-12-01 [Yncke]: @Donovan: I suggest that you drop your e-mail address here too then, so that we can mail the result to you instead of [Just.Kate] (Otherwise, she can figure it out by elimination. ;) )

2006-12-01 [Cia_mar]: lol

2006-12-01 [Calico Tiger]: A conundrum.... I always sign my artwork... Skip the signing and copyright or leave it in and let the person know? How is that planning on being handled? I mean, is it secret only till the gift opening? Secret forever? (ie, can't post it in my gallery, then ) Or is it all just personal preference of the artist type person?

2006-12-01 [Just.Kate]: Its only secret till the gift giving, so its ok to label your art, says [Just.Kate]. Also, heres an alternate email: wildlife.us@gmail.com

I dont know how to edit the page =/

2006-12-01 [Yncke]: Err... hit 'edit this page' and become addicted to wikiing. ;P

2006-12-01 [Just.Kate]: I dont even have a profile at this community o_o Im just doing her a favor :P

2006-12-01 [Calico Tiger]: Join us. Learn the ways of the wiki

2006-12-01 [Just.Kate]: O_O I'm just gonna back away slowly now...

2006-12-01 [Yncke]: *closes the door and stands before it*
Now now now. Where are you going, hmmm?

2006-12-01 [Cia_mar]: *knocks on door* is everything ok in there?

2006-12-01 [Just.Kate]: HELP! RAPE! KIDNAPPING! AHHHHH!

2006-12-01 [Yncke]: In Elftown, no one can hear you scream...

er... nope, that's not quite it... damn... oh well...
*opens door and gets started on my part of the gift*

2006-12-01 [Just.Kate]: -[Just.Kate] here- What the deuce? Rofl! He called me about a rape on Elftown, and something about being subverted to the ways of the miki. Think he meant wiki? xD

2006-12-01 [Malnu]: rofl.... things haven't changed much here in ET. That's good to know. *wink*

2006-12-01 [Cia_mar]: lol

2006-12-01 [Shjahjdahdvwa]: lol [Just.Kate] read the comments above

2006-12-01 [Just.Kate]:

Uh...



-runs to change the email address-

2006-12-01 [Shjahjdahdvwa]: :-s why? :S

2006-12-01 [Just.Kate]: Cause [Yncke] has a good point, lol. If I was mean-spirited, or even bored, I could figure out who my gifter is. xD

2006-12-01 [Shjahjdahdvwa]: [Yncke]is a smart person

Since you are hosting you shouldn't participate :-/ But this is just for fun, so you shouldn't make a big deal out of it

2006-12-01 [Calico Tiger]: Why shouldn't Kieli participate? It's not a contest :)

2006-12-01 [Shjahjdahdvwa]: I know, that's why i added a "but"

2006-12-01 [Just.Kate]: Well, since I was hosting it, and participating, I gave the gift assigning job to Donovan, hehe.

2006-12-01 [The Red Baron]: added a butt? Does that mean that someone has two asses now actually? Huh-huh huh-huh. Sorry guys, Beavis and Butt-head madness taking over me... I am Cornhoio!

2006-12-01 [Rennie]: well i think this is a fantastic idea! I'm really happy to see some good spirit back here on Elftown for a change!

2006-12-01 [The Red Baron]: I agree.

2006-12-01 [Just.Kate]: Uhh, [Gwenn*], the signup is over... Sorry :( [Nathan McTravish] has a backup gift if you would like to still get a gift, though.

2006-12-01 [Gwenn*]: Who?

2006-12-01 [Just.Kate]: I probably spelled his name wrong. But so long as you dont mind yummy yaoi-ish work...

2006-12-01 [Gwenn*]: No, I don't mind. What should I do?

2006-12-01 [Just.Kate]: Just hang out and wait to see if anyone else signs up, I guess.

2006-12-01 [The Red Baron]: I am Cornholio! In this yaoi, will there be TP?

2006-12-01 [Gwenn*]: OK, no problem :)

2006-12-01 [Shjahjdahdvwa]: I wouldn't mind yaoi-ish backup gift for me

2006-12-02 [nathie]: hehee, yaoi-ish back up gift. seems that the boy has to dress up, i mean - damn, i have to refine his coloring. :)

2006-12-02 [Just.Kate]: xD

2006-12-02 [someelf]: I am so going to like this!

Oooh there's a prrrt smiley! Yay!
-Happy-

2006-12-02 [nathie]: btw, i SO love those emoticons!

2006-12-02 [The Red Baron]: (aims sniper rifle at random emoticon) I feel like making holes in heads today.

2006-12-02 [Just.Kate]: xD

2006-12-02 [Cia_mar]: already started on mine for??? ... lol and i must say i am pleased so far... this is fun!!!!!

2006-12-03 [The Red Baron]: Me too (hits brain) Be creative! So, when's the deadline?

2006-12-03 [Elisha Kelly]: says above :) dec 23

2006-12-03 [The Red Baron]: roger roger.

2006-12-04 [someelf]: I hope he/she/me likes it XD ^^ *grins and colours around*

2006-12-05 [Calico Tiger]: [Ultiem], the person who got you isn't supposed to message you :P *pokes your recently added request*

2006-12-05 [Ocean Soul]: xD haha I didn't even see that one :P

2006-12-05 [Firenze]: They could get a friend to message him but then again he could limit that down...

2006-12-06 [Yncke]: Well, it can always be done through Donovans email address too. After all, he knows who got [Ultiem].

2006-12-06 [The Red Baron]: (sings the song by Ace of Base) He decides...

2006-12-06 [Cia_mar]: ha ha ha Ace of base wowo brings back memories there... "i saw the signs...." *sings along*

2006-12-06 [The Red Baron]: I've all their works on CD.

2006-12-06 [Cia_mar]: lol... have not heard that music for a long time! lol

2006-12-06 [The Red Baron]: I hear 'em on my media player list. Good group they are.

2006-12-06 [Cia_mar]: yes i used to like them

2006-12-06 [The Red Baron]: used to?

2006-12-06 [Cia_mar]: well i have not listened to mainstream music in about 10 years so i am a bit out of the loop...lol

2006-12-06 [The Red Baron]: count me in.

2006-12-23 [Anvikit]: whew.. just finnished.. and with no time to spare.. *passes out from exaustion* Think I will scan it and email it when I wake up..

2006-12-23 [Yuriona]: Crap... there's no way in hell I'm going to get mine done by tonight. >< We're just packing up the vehicles to head to my parents' for the week. *DIES*

2006-12-23 [nathie]: @kieli: did you get my mail?

2006-12-23 [Ocean Soul]: I'm not sure I will be able to finish mine :/

2006-12-23 [Calico Tiger]: I've sent mine off :)

2006-12-23 [Cia_mar]: me too

2006-12-23 [windowframe]: Mine *will* be finished by Christmas, if not tonight, then tomorrow morning. *nod*

2006-12-23 [Mom]: I had mine finished days ago...I just hope kieli got it to send it.

2006-12-23 [Paz]: Mine's finished and sent :P

2006-12-23 [Cia_mar]: *waits with child like anticipation for Christmas*
