2009-12-26 [windowframe]: D'oh. Thanks. :P

2010-09-13 [Lothuriel]: OMIGOSH!! I love the secret Santa!! I am pumped now!!

2010-09-13 [windowframe]: Amg How did you guys get here already? XP Not that I mind you adding your names already, but I won't 'officially' start advertising it 'til the end of October.

2010-09-13 [Yncke]: Owkay, I'll wait for that moment, then. :)

2010-09-13 [windowframe]: If you're already here you might as well. ^^ I was expecting you to be here anyway. :P

2010-09-13 [Yncke]: I'm a bit predictable at that, I know. :s

2010-09-13 [Nioniel]: That was me who started advertising. :P

2010-09-14 [hanhepi]: i'll have to ponder this one. i'm such a damn procrastinator that i dunno if i'd be able to make anything in time.

2010-09-14 [Yncke]: Wow, fifth year of Secret Santa too. Time flies. :)

2010-09-14 [Thunder Cid]: Christmas get's earlier each year.

2010-09-14 [Linderel]: *pounce*

2010-09-14 [~Crimson Angel~]: I don't know if I want to sign up this year.

2010-09-14 [Linderel]: There's still quite a bit of time to decide.

2010-09-14 [Nioniel]: Nope, you must decide now. :P
^{limited time offer}

2010-09-15 [~Crimson Angel~]: lol

2010-09-15 [Nioniel]: :D

2010-09-15 [~Crimson Angel~]: Even if I did sign up I wouldn't know what to make.

2010-09-15 [Silver Moon]: I never got mine last year...

2010-09-15 [windowframe]: You didn't even participate in Secret Santa last year, [Silver Moon]. O_o

In fact, from a quick check, I don't think you've ever participated in this secret santa. <_<

2010-09-15 [Evolution X]: Question: I know I've done this for two years now, and every year I keep panicing cause I'm a writer and can't draw, but can I still panic about them hating my gift?

2010-09-15 [Chel.]: Hahah! XD

2010-09-15 [moira hawthorne]: no no panicin allow! ...be mellow ...be at peace if someone doesnt appreciate a written gift its them at fault no you!!!

2010-09-15 [Evolution X]: I'm baaaaad at mellow. Seriously, I can't help but freak out. My suggestions for my gift is terrible anyway - unless I get a Spartan drawn in the style of Scott Pilgrim it really won't make a difference to what the person gives me as a gift.

2010-09-15 [Ravendust]: I have the tendancy to panic as well... mainly because I am so critical of my own work... :-/

2010-09-15 [Flisky]: I secretly hope to get moira, just because I have a great gift idea. I might just do it anyways. ^_^

2010-09-15 [windowframe]: Evo you don't *have* to give a suggestion, it's not mandatory. :P

2010-09-15 [Evolution X]: It's just a vague generalisation of what I like, I wasn't sure what to do so I just put that.

2010-09-15 [moira hawthorne]: ooo wooooow ... well im trilled and flattered... hummm... you can always do extras... I and others have,...

2010-09-15 [Flisky]: That's what I'm thinking I'm going to do. I love creating gifts for people.

2010-09-16 [wicked fae mage]: I love gift creating too. And, well, no panics! I'll link your work that we loved from 2 years ago if I have to, Evo!

2010-09-17 [Silver Moon]: maybe I am confusing the secret Santa's....sorry

2010-09-18 [~Crimson Angel~]: hmmmmmmmmm....

2010-09-18 [Silver Moon]: sorry for the mix up...

2010-09-18 [windowframe]: :O omigosh I'm a big nasty fascist and just deleted a load of chatty comments! D:

I'm really pleased that you're all interested in Secret Santa, but can you try and keep the chatter down a little bit? Just so I don't miss any important questions. :3

(I'm not saying don't chatter at all, just... not quite so much, please. ^^;)

2010-09-18 [Aeolynn]: Just not pointless chatter, yes?

2010-09-19 [Akayume]: I have a question! Do you just want electronic copies of what we give, or are we allowed to send the actual piece? :O

2010-09-19 [Chel.]: I think that would all depend on how far you are mailing it? It's not necessary to mail anything.

2010-09-19 [Akayume]: I see. (:

2010-09-19 [wicked fae mage]: Well, that goes back to making it just for the person. I suppose an electronic place holder would work until your mailed say painting got to them. Some people are willing to give out their address like me, others may be more private. Perhaps a vote or we can have Silver ask them if they would give us their address to mail them the actual piece so it is still anonymous until they get it...

2010-09-19 [Ravendust]: Answer to the question is actually on the page xP:

Q: I was thinking of making my Santee a model or a teddy or something like that. Is that allowed?
A: If you want to do something like that message [windowframe] about it, and she will get in touch with your Santee to see if they mind giving you their address. If you do post it, make sure to send it recorded delivery so that it doesn't get lost!

2010-09-19 [Skydancer]: Hmmm I will have to think on this.

2010-09-19 [windowframe]: If your santee is happy to give their address then you can of course send them a hard copy of your work, but you should still send me an electronic copy - if you're making them a plushie or something, take a photo before you send it. :)

2010-09-19 [~Crimson Angel~]: I'm comfortable giving my PO box to people I don't know, but I'll only give my physical address to my friends.

2010-11-02 [windowframe]: Sorry [Daisy_Sandybanks]! You're not allowed to enter this year because you didn't send a present last year. :(

2010-11-02 [wicked fae mage]: Hmm...I've thought about having a panic attack page for this wiki...just to keep the comments on this page cleared of worries and what-ifs so everybody watching doesn't get an update...

2010-11-03 [Daisy_Sandybanks]: Aww, dangit. I completely forgot. Sorry about that. :/

2010-11-03 [Evolution X]: so.... basically my own page to freak out?

2010-11-03 [wicked fae mage]: Indeed. Secret Santa Freakouts

2010-11-03 [~Crimson Angel~]: lol

2010-11-05 [Nocturnaliss]: Oohhh I'm worried I'll have no time to complete it... but I love the Secret Santa :/ I don't wanna miss out on it this year. Guess I'll have to try my best and push my boyfriend aside if need be :D

2010-11-09 [~Crimson Angel~]: If you can't contact me on here when it gets close to the time I'll text my friend and have her tell you to text me.

2010-11-14 [dayah]: I can't wait for this contest to start.. I am so excited!!

2010-11-14 [~Crimson Angel~]: me too!

2010-11-15 [Chel.]: It's.... not really a contest though...

2010-11-15 [wicked fae mage]: Yeah, it's more of an event than a contest.

2010-11-16 [dayah]: yeah not contest..sorry by brain was dead I was using the speach reconiton program to type. cus my keyboard was dead. Was only testing it.. But I did mean I can't wait for it to start reallly excited to make something for some one, whoeve rit might be.

2010-11-19 [Ravendust]: yeah, we need to get more people to join though, 2 more days left to sign up and only 24 people!!

2010-11-19 [Chel.]: I invited everyone I know...

2010-11-19 [Chel.]: Can this not be advertised on Mainstreet?

2010-11-19 [windowframe]: Probably a little late now. ^^; I hadn't even thought of that. :o

2010-11-19 [Mrs Vicious.]: wooo!

2010-11-19 [dayah]: maybe next year you can do that, advertise on mainstreet that is..:)

2010-11-19 [Chimes]: I fixed the numbers :P 24 was there twice.

2010-11-20 [Chel.]: What about just the alert bar on the top? Sort of like a "last chance to join" thing.

2010-11-20 [windowframe]: No other nonofficial contest gets up there, it would be an abuse of power - for a good cause, but still not really fir on everyone else. <_<

2010-11-20 [Chel.]: Yea...good point

2010-11-20 [Nioniel]: Featured wiki?

2010-11-20 [windowframe]: We try not to feature wikis made by the Feature Bosses. :P

2010-11-20 [Nioniel]: Oooh. :)

2010-11-20 [Ravendust]: the invite button doesn't always work for me, or it takes waaaay too long to load properly so I wind up skipping it anyway :-/ otherwise I'd have invited like... my entire friend's list...

2010-11-20 [Chel.]: I donno...I personally think 26 is a pretty good sized group of individuals. :3

2010-11-21 [dayah]: its about 10 short of last year but hey its still good.. Will be really fun. I am tottaly hyped and ready.

2010-11-21 [Ravendust]: me too, I can't wait to get started! :)

2010-11-21 [wicked fae mage]: Me too! Very artsy right now!

2010-11-21 [windowframe]: Okay, I'm pretty sure I've now messaged everyone telling them who their santee is. But if I've somehow missed you out, let me know asap. :)

2010-11-21 [dayah]: yup I got mine. This is reaaaaaaly going to be challangeing for me this time.. laughs. But should be fun. :)

2010-11-21 [The Dizzy Raven]: I'm excited now! :D I know exactly what I'm going to do and I really hope the person I have likes it ^^ I'm most likely going to get it done early

2010-11-21 [wicked fae mage]: I already have a sketch! xD

2010-11-21 [dayah]: I don't have the slightest clue yet but I will eventualy get something :P

2010-11-21 [~Crimson Angel~]: I'm excited, I suck at drawing, so I'll have to do something else for my person. I know they'll like it.

2010-11-21 [Chel.]: EEE! I wanna know who got me! :P

2010-11-21 [Ravendust]: haha, thats the trouble, we don't get to know who got us until it comes time to recieve our gifts xP

2010-11-22 [~Crimson Angel~]: Yes, too true.

2010-11-22 [The Dizzy Raven]: lol :)

2010-11-22 [~Crimson Angel~]: *spins*

2010-11-22 [The Dizzy Raven]: *screams*

2010-11-22 [~Crimson Angel~]: *gasps* What's wrong?

2010-11-22 [The Dizzy Raven]: *shrieks* there's a spider on my pillow!

lol

2010-11-24 [~Crimson Angel~]: *smacks the spider with a rolled up newspaper* There ya go!

2010-11-24 [Mrs Vicious.]: I'm an odd number, no one lurves meee!

2010-11-24 [Evolution X]: oh yeah... I need to do this... at some point.

2010-11-24 [Mrs Vicious.]: You're already on it.

2010-11-24 [wicked fae mage]: 26 isn't an odd number

2010-11-24 [windowframe]: She was number 27 when wrote that, though.

2010-11-24 [Mrs Vicious.]: did someone back out?

2010-11-24 [Chimes]: No, there was a number there twice. :)

2010-11-24 [wicked fae mage]: Ah, okay, that clears the confusion then.

2010-11-24 [Mrs Vicious.]: ahh... damn it.

2010-11-24 [~Crimson Angel~]: lol

2010-11-24 [Mrs Vicious.]: I liked being an odd number.

2010-11-24 [~Crimson Angel~]: aw.

2010-11-25 [Foxy Shazam]: At least this way everyone has a Santa/Santee :p

2010-11-25 [windowframe]: Everyone has a santa/santee regardless of whether there are an odd or even number participating.

2010-11-25 [Ravendust]: yep, pretty sure I get that concept, its not a you get me, I get you type deal.

2010-11-25 [windowframe]: Precisely. :) (that wouldn't really be a *secret* Santa, anyway :P)

2010-11-26 [The Dizzy Raven]: Thanks, amebara!!! :D

2010-11-26 [Ravendust]: it definitely wouldn't, and it would leave the final odd-numbered participant to fend for themselves

2010-12-20 [dayah]: Phew! Finnaly Done. Didn't think I would ever figure that one out. Had two ideas. One I may finish one day. But thankfully One is done. I just reallllly hope they like it. :D

2010-12-20 [Evolution X]: Where's the freak out page gone? I have a feeling I'll need it.

2010-12-20 [dayah]: giggles

2010-12-20 [Chel.]: I just finished mine last night.

Props to [windowframe] for doing this whole thing herself.

2010-12-20 [moira hawthorne]: I finished mine on the 17th and sent it to [windowframe]

2010-12-20 [Chimes]: 4th for me, apparently. :P

2010-12-20 [Nioniel]: Gah. Still working on mine. X/

2010-12-20 [Evolution X]: I'd help out if Silverfire asked, I resemble Father Christmas enough as it is.

2010-12-20 [Mrs Vicious.]: I finished mine a while ago, now to just sit back n wait.

2010-12-20 [wicked fae mage]: I've been done too, but I'd rather wait a bit to flood her inbox

2010-12-20 [Mrs Vicious.]: Lol, I sent it ages ago, prolly before everyone started sending.. maybe.

2010-12-20 [windowframe]: You were the second to submit your present, [Mrs Vicious.] :)

2010-12-20 [Mrs Vicious.]: Well at least I got in early. lol.

2010-12-20 [wicked fae mage]: Lol I'll scan mine today and send it before I'm gone on the 22nd.

2010-12-20 [Flisky]: Mine might be a little late. Our office (where I do my work) was flooded yesterday and we don't know when it will be up and running again. I'm on a neighbor's computer right now to let everyone know. :P

2010-12-20 [wicked fae mage]: I'd forgive a late gift. Better late than never but Silvie's call ultimately. :)

2010-12-20 [Ravendust]: I'm cutting mine a little last minute xD, it took me a while to figure out just what I wanted to do and I've been wicked busy (just got married, been working on getting our apartment reorganized and cleaned, AND have a baby on the way ^^;;) Anyway, pretty sure that if I work on it at least a little every day for the next four days it'll be done, though I'm trying NOT to procrastinate too much...

2010-12-20 [windowframe]: A few days late is acceptable in extreme situations, but I'd want a definite date it would be submitted by.

2010-12-21 [~Crimson Angel~]: I submitted mine yesterday.

2010-12-21 [windowframe]: I'm sending out a general reminder to anyone who hasn't submitted their present yet. If you get a reminder and you HAVE submitted your present entry, don't just ignore it, let me know!

2010-12-21 [Flisky]: The lab I do my work in is flooded, so I'm going to have to rework my gift. So it should be in on time, but it won't be what I was planning on sending.

2010-12-21 [Nocturnaliss]: I should get done in time, I work at a store so the X-mas season's pretty hectic x.x

2010-12-21 [Flisky]: Well...mine is done and sent in...Not what I planned but I'm sure my santee will like it...

2010-12-21 [Akayume]: Awww. :D I'm working on mine right now. DX I just wish I understood my paint shop program better. DX

2010-12-21 [The Dizzy Raven]: I finally got mine finished!! :D

2010-12-21 [Akayume]: Huzzah!

2010-12-21 [The Dizzy Raven]: :D

2010-12-21 [Ravendust]: working on mine too, my poor fingers lol

2010-12-22 [The Dizzy Raven]: mine are stiff!!! lol spent 2-3 hours straight with my digital tablet. oh geez! *wears electric warming gloves* (which would be nice if they existed)

2010-12-22 [Falx]: Just finishing mine up tonight, provided that neither my pliers nor my sanity give out on me. :D Changed course half-way through for time's sake.

2010-12-22 [Akayume]: I need to put photoshop on my comp. XD

2010-12-22 [Artsy]: I'll be sketching mine up tonight I believe.... I just got back from college recently so finding my drawing supplies has proved... more difficult than I had previously assumed it would >.>

2010-12-22 [Nioniel]: Won't be able to get mine in till Xmas eve, no access to a scanner until then. X(

2010-12-23 [Nocturnaliss]: I got mine done today, so glad I'm in time x.x

2010-12-23 [Akayume]: Mine probably won't be in until tomorrow either Nio DX

2010-12-23 [Nioniel]: Got mine in today.

2010-12-24 [Ravendust]: I did send a message, but just in case... Mine's probably going to be late, though I'm working my damndest to get it done and in by morning.

2010-12-24 [Akayume]: I am kind of sad. :( My original plan didn't work out so I had to come up with something new. Although I think I'll complete the original gift an send it my santee's way after Christmas anyway. :p

2010-12-24 [Linderel]: Hmm. Mine turned out okay, although somehow it feels like that's not enough.

2010-12-25 [Mrs Vicious.]: *yawns* MERRY CHRISTMAS! lol so when do we get our stuff?

2010-12-25 [windowframe]: In a few hours, after I'm done with lunch. OM NOM NOM. :)

2010-12-25 [Mrs Vicious.]: Lol fair enough. I'm looking forward to it, I'm wondering whom got me and what they made.

2010-12-25 [Chimes]: Christmas Dinner = The best thing ever.

2010-12-25 [Mrs Vicious.]: what you have?

2010-12-25 [wicked fae mage]: I actually slept in on Christmas morning somehow. It's a miracle.

2010-12-25 [moira hawthorne]: ARE WE POSTING OUR GIFTS UP?

2010-12-25 [The Dizzy Raven]: Thanks, Akayume!! :D I loved the poem! it was beautiful :3

2010-12-25 [Mrs Vicious.]: Lol no problem. I sent my secret santa a message, is that ok?

2010-12-25 [Ravendust]: I'd figure at this point now that everyone knows who got them it should be okay :P

2010-12-25 [Chel.]: Yea, I wouldn't mind seeing what people got out of curiosity? We could make a page for it? idk....

2010-12-25 [windowframe]: Usually someone else ends up making the present-displaying page, but here we go: Secret Santa 2010 Presents

2010-12-26 [Akayume]: You are welcome! :D

2010-12-26 [Evolution X]: Did you like yours Artsy-chan?

2010-12-27 [Artsy]: I didn't get my work in on time... So I did not get a gift ._. It's unfortunate, but it's the rules. I'm sorry whoever made something for me....

2010-12-27 [Chel.]: What's worse is making something for someone but not getting anything in return. :[

2010-12-27 [Evolution X]: Sorry chel...

2010-12-27 [Linderel]: Hmm. Nah, I think the worst thing would be making someone something and them not receiving it. But then again I'm more about the joy of giving than that of receiving, even if only slightly.

2010-12-27 [Chel.]: Touché....

2010-12-27 [The Dizzy Raven]: Did you get yours, Linderel? :)

2010-12-27 [Linderel]: Yes, I did. Very cute. :)

2010-12-27 [Mrs Vicious.]: See this is why I think you should make the present early cos then you get it done and don't have to panic and rush when it gets close to actual Christmas.

2010-12-27 [dayah]: yeah know what you mean. Though I had a tough time myself comming up with an idea, but am quite proud of it and glad they liked it. :)

2010-12-27 [Mrs Vicious.]: indeedy doo!

2010-12-27 [Flisky]: *hug tackles Chel!* But your gift was awesome!

2010-12-27 [The Dizzy Raven]: yay and thanks :)

2010-12-27 [Nocturnaliss]: Another fun-filled Secret Santa has passed :°3

2010-12-28 [The Dizzy Raven]: yup ^_^ and it's the first one I've ever participated in :)

2010-12-28 [Chel.]: Flisky: Glad you like! :) It was fun to do a character I actually knew, you know?

2010-12-28 [Flisky]: I actually did a dance when I found out that you did my gift. Then I saw it and I was like O_O then ^_^ then X_X (that's me passed out in excitement.) Okay, that may be an exaggeration, but you get the idea.

2010-12-29 [Chel.]: Aww.... thanks! XD

2011-11-17 [Ravendust]: has Secret Santa 2011 been set up yet?

2011-11-17 [Linderel]: Yes! Secret Satan!

2011-11-17 [Ravendust]: Secret Satan? :P

2011-11-17 [Ravendust]: If help is needed I'm more than willing to step in. This has been a fun tradition and I'd like to keep it going!

2011-11-17 [Evolution X]: SATAAAAN!

2011-11-17 [Linderel]: Yeah. Y'know, if dyslexics sell their soul to Santa, then clearly this must be Secret Satan. :3

2011-11-17 [Ravendust]: haha xP

2011-11-17 [wicked fae mage]: Clearly! xD
