2013-11-04 [Kbird]: question!
I'm not getting the program I need to be able make to gifts until probably the 16 of December (generally when my B-day is celebrated) so could I sign and if I end up not getting the gift for my B-day dropping out? or would that screw things up to much?

2013-11-04 [wicked fae mage]: Well, the rules have been that if you cannot or do not give a gift you cannot participate the next year because of the hoop jumping in this case I would have to do to get your Santee a gift.

So if you are wanting to make something specific like you're waiting on a sewing machine to make a plushie, I'd say to have a backup plan like doing a drawing or a poem.

I'm willing to work around it because you are more than willing to make a gift though, so we can play it by ear.

2013-11-04 [Kbird]: ^-^ thank you so much.... I was going to make a drawing...but I've been trying my hand at making plushies recently, too.

2013-11-04 [wicked fae mage]: Also remember that your Santee would have to agree to have something mailed to them. But, if you take a picture of it first and then mail it, I can send them a pic telling them that this is on the way to them.

2013-11-04 [Kbird]: Okay. ^-^

2013-11-04 [Koho Ai]: If your sending something to me send it to Tsome instead as I don't have an address. Just putting that out there lol

2013-11-04 [Kbird]: Okie dokie. ;) I'll put my name up.

2013-11-04 [wicked fae mage]: Well, if your Santa wants to send you something I will message you and ask if it is okay, and then you can give me an address if it is okay. :)

2013-11-04 [Kbird]: Okay, Is fine with me, but I'd have to check with my parents first.

2013-11-05 [Ugur gunal]: i wonder what method of payment?

2013-11-05 [wicked fae mage]: There is no method of payment for this aside from you make a gift, you get get a gift. :)

2013-11-06 [ancienteye]: This is a great idea, but I suck with deadlines and motivation. TT_______TT

2013-11-06 [Mortified Penguin]: Someone remind me to maybe sign up for this.

2013-11-06 [Yuriona]: I want to sign up but I started working full time again so may not have the time. :(

2013-11-13 [ancienteye]: Everybody loves smexy elven boys.

2013-11-13 [Yuriona]:

2013-11-13 [wicked fae mage]: Yuri, you have the best requests. I think we should badge the person who makes yours if they include all of your requests, though xD

2013-11-13 [Yuriona]: Aw thanks! ^_^ Heh... if someone includes all my requests in one piece I'll make them a special badge myself! Even if it isn't my Secret Santa! LOL!

2013-11-13 [Flisky]: It doesn't have to be a drawing does it? Because I could totally do some written wizardry. :)

2013-11-14 [Yuriona]: Hmm... I don't see anything in my request that says "DRAWINGS ONLY DANG IT!!!" so sure! Written wizardry is perfectly acceptable too!

2013-11-14 [Flisky]: DOING WRITTEN WIZARDRY YA'LL! ^_^

2013-11-14 [wicked fae mage]: Woot wizardry!

2013-11-14 [Flisky]: Yuri...this might take a few days. :/

2013-11-14 [wicked fae mage]: Is Yuri getting all of the Pr0n?

2013-11-14 [Figgy]: Okay, I'mma do it >_>

2013-11-14 [Figgy]: [Duredhel] requested I put his up too 8>

2013-11-14 [The Dizzy Raven]: lol awesome

2013-11-14 [Yuriona]: hmmm... maybe we should take this and make it an open contest separate from secret santa.

2013-11-14 [Yuriona]: i suddenly long to add vaudeville up there... O_o might be a bit much though. lmao

2013-11-14 [Flisky]: Oh God. The ideas. The IDEAS!

2013-11-14 [Yuriona]:

2013-11-14 [Flisky]: Yuri is getting a multi-part smut conglomeration...of smexiness.

2013-11-14 [Yuriona]: Ah to cause such inspiration... its a gift! LMAO!

2013-11-14 [wicked fae mage]: Since I don't get a gift for running it, make me something in your free time, too xD

2013-11-14 [Flisky]: More stories? MORE STORIES! XD

2013-11-22 [The Dizzy Raven]: Wii needz moar entreeeeeez

2013-11-22 [Lirerial]: Oh I want to try

2013-11-22 [Eyonic]: :D yays!

2013-11-22 [The Dizzy Raven]: :3

2013-11-22 [~Crimson Angel~]: If I had the time I would, I'm already involved in a double secret santa on another site.

2013-11-25 [Lilya Athena]: fff I would join but college has me busy e7e

2013-11-27 [Kbird]: Woot! Dani!!

2013-11-27 [Piercedskull]: X#

2013-11-27 [Kbird]: 0.0 wow your twentieth

2013-11-27 [Piercedskull]: And I'll be twenty next year! Yaaay!

2013-11-27 [Kbird]: I thought you where twenty-one for some reason. >.<

2013-11-27 [Piercedskull]: XDD everyone thinks I'm older

2013-11-27 [Kbird]: XD Yay its not just me!

2013-11-27 [wicked fae mage]: One year we had something like 80 people sign up, 70 or so participated

2013-11-27 [Kbird]: Wow 0.0 and this isn't a main wiki?

2013-11-27 [wicked fae mage]: Nope. This was started a few years back by another member, then [windowframe] kept it going and then she couldn't do it so I took it over. So it is a personal wiki so to speak.

2013-11-27 [Kbird]: It's still cool.

2013-11-27 [wicked fae mage]: Indeed. Gifts from around the world is an awesome concept

2013-11-27 [Kbird]: XD I just hope who ever I make the gift for, likes it.

2013-11-27 [Piercedskull]: XD [Yami] you're adorable

2013-11-27 [Yami]: Nah, you are.

2013-11-27 [Amelia Stark]: You both are so XP ^-^

2013-11-27 [Yami]: XD

2013-11-27 [Piercedskull]: <3<3 We all are!

2013-11-27 [Kbird]: Yes!! ♥

2013-11-28 [Eyonic]: yay <3 all around! i missed a lot there o.o

2013-11-28 [The Dizzy Raven]: So.... did my invites help a little? lol I think this is more than last year. :p

2013-11-28 [wicked fae mage]: Get it to 2008's numbers and then we'll talk :p

2013-11-28 [The Dizzy Raven]: heheheeh :p Will try

2013-11-28 [The Dizzy Raven]: ugh.... nvm. :p challenge failure rate 100% lol

2013-11-28 [Eyonic]: looks like more than last year o.o wasnt last year like 15 or something?

2013-11-28 [wicked fae mage]: *points to the past years' links section*

2013-11-28 [Kbird]: We're doing better then last year....just not 08s score

2013-11-28 [wicked fae mage]: It is about fun and giving more than results.

2013-11-28 [The Dizzy Raven]: true :)
but still would be awesome to have as many as '08

2013-11-28 [wicked fae mage]: Indeed.

2013-11-28 [The Dizzy Raven]: :)

2013-11-28 [Mortified Penguin]: Last time I signed up for something similar to this on Elftown, I ended up making a bookmark for someone, but never got one for myself.

2013-11-28 [wicked fae mage]: If you sign up and your person doesn't make you a gift, I'll make sure you get something :)

2013-11-30 [Nocturnaliss]: Question: when will the santas be announced ? I'm only asking because I have extremely limited time this year, and I'll need all the time I can get to work on a gift o.O (it's so bad I'm considering pulling out for this year).

2013-11-30 [Flisky]: December 1st. Says so on the page.

2013-11-30 [Nocturnaliss]: Ugh, hadn't seen that e.e thx.

2013-12-01 [Eyonic]: *pencils and paper go flying in the drawing frenzy*

2013-12-03 [XxTsomexX]: Finished mine :P I hope he/she likes it! D: I worked hard and went through two good pens to complete it lol

2013-12-03 [Piercedskull]: *violent erasing to make perfect*

2013-12-03 [Eyonic]: :O nice! glad i actually don't use much pen/paper for mine XD but i am starting to get wrist cramps...

2013-12-03 [Kbird]: XO I'm stilling getting supplies....and some of you are already finished! *feeling like a complete imature*

2013-12-03 [Lirerial]: When do we give our presents to the person?

2013-12-03 [Figgy]: "3. Get your creation in by the 24th of December! Send the completed piece to [wicked fae mage].

4. [wicked fae mage] shall send everyone their present on the 25th, around midday Elftown time. Receive your gift, be thankful, merry and spread festive spirit!"

2013-12-03 [Yami]: *Sits on a high book shelf, watching the insanity*

2013-12-03 [Lirerial]: Oops lol

2013-12-03 [wicked fae mage]: Yeah, you send the gift to me and I'll give all gifts to everybody on the 25th

2013-12-03 [Kbird]: I shall get in the zone and lock myself in my room until it tie finished! >XD

2013-12-03 [Eyonic]: got about half way through mine before blowing the ol art fuse... gotta go replace it now... mt dew here i come!

2013-12-03 [Nocturnaliss]: Dear gods you guys, and December's only begun and some of you are already done o.O wish I had your free time. I'm worried not to get done in time ;.;

2013-12-03 [Piercedskull]: Done :3

2013-12-03 [XxTsomexX]: Huzzah! I can't wait to see them all. Last year my gift made me squeal in joy. Then again, it isn't that hard to make me do :P just put something in front of me and chances are, I will squeal over it.

2013-12-03 [Eyonic]: awww tsome <3 you're cute. I hope you get something awsome :)

2013-12-04 [CuteCommander]: I have two ideas on the go - one is a drawing, which I think might be a mistake since I'm crap at it, and the other is a story based around the drawing

2013-12-04 [Kbird]: will they understand the story without the picture? <:o

2013-12-04 [Piercedskull]: There's nothing that says you can't do both, Commander. And if you really want to do the drawing, do it. There's no such thing as bad art as long as you put your heart into it :)

2013-12-04 [Kbird]: I agree with Pierced~ ^-^

2013-12-04 [CuteCommander]: Thanks guys :D

2013-12-05 [Piercedskull]: *pats back* you'll do fine.

2013-12-05 [Amelia Stark]: okay so that was just... -sigh- half way through and ready to scrap it and start again.... But I have someone who would kill me if I did.

2013-12-05 [Eyonic]: *bangs head against the wall* trying to do a background, now i remember why i don't do backgrounds gah!

2013-12-05 [Kbird]: ^-^' I can only do back grounds and people....animals are a no go for me. o.0
Get some brain resting time, and I'm sure it will be fine.

2013-12-05 [Amelia Stark]: I'm with you Eyonic... Seriously Backgrounds are not my forte.... but in the end I'm sure it'll be okay. 

2013-12-05 [Flisky]: I'm still trying to start mine...Between work and volunteering...this is not high yet on my priority list. And I'm sorry to my santee who might get mediocre work. :(

2013-12-05 [Lirerial]: XD I already finished mine

2013-12-05 [Amelia Stark]: Almost there part one is done and I am mostly happy with it now I just need to finish two but I'm having such a problem.... I CAN'T THINK STRIAGHT!

2013-12-05 [Kbird]: XO I'm just now getting my supplies! Darn you active amazing brained people!

2013-12-05 [Ms. Steel]: pfffft, when's this due? I'll be making mine on the 23rd. Plenty of time.

2013-12-05 [wicked fae mage]: Due to me by the 24th

2013-12-06 [Ms. Steel]: I was just kidding. ;-) I will have it in in plenty of time, cross my heart.

2013-12-06 [Eyonic]: phew, got mine done :D

2013-12-06 [Csitri]: Oh... Guess I missed out on this, this year.

2013-12-07 [Amelia Stark]: Seriously I need my muse back

2013-12-20 [Fallen Child Athena]: I couldn't do this one =( For 1 I'm artisicly challenged. 2. No computer to work with

2013-12-20 [Kbird]: May computer is stupid and doesn't want to upload the image! >.< I'm done with the gift though.

2013-12-21 [wicked fae mage]: If you can upload it to photobucket or something and sent it to me, I can upload it to Elftown if that is your concern.

And [Fallen Child Athena], you don't have to be artistic to give and get a gift. The point is to simply spread some holiday cheer. A lack of computer may hinder participating though.

2013-12-21 [Fallen Child Athena]: All I have is my cell

2013-12-21 [Yuriona]: omg... i almost forgot about this one i've been soo stupid busy! ><

2013-12-21 [Kbird]: XP I was going crazy over this so I couldn't forget.

2013-12-21 [Yuriona]: Lucky. *pouts*

2013-12-21 [Kbird]: Not really...I was so busy freaking out over this I nearly forgot to get some of my families presents.

2013-12-22 [The Dizzy Raven]: Working on mine tomorrow night. Just been insanely busy with work, commissions, and jewelry orders

2013-12-22 [Kbird]: I've been rather busy too...I still need to get the computer back so I can send the picture X(

2013-12-22 [Ravendust]: I'm working to get mine done! Been pretty busy lately, just need to sit down and get it done! :)

2013-12-23 [wicked fae mage]: A few of you haven't sent me them yet! Remember if you don't send a gift, you won't get a gift, your santee won't get a gift and you'll be banned from signing up next year! D:

2013-12-23 [Ravendust]: Some of us are extremely last minute D: I'm working on mine, I swear! Just been super busy over here at the same time, doing a million things at once, including working on my ss!

2013-12-23 [Yami]: I've just got to scan it today!

2013-12-23 [wicked fae mage]: I know! I just don't want you all to forget!

2013-12-23 [The Dizzy Raven]: I got mine in!!!!! :D

2013-12-24 [Yuriona]: I thought we had til the 24th! D: oh wait... is 24th in some parts of the world... eek...

2013-12-24 [The Dizzy Raven]: lol

2013-12-24 [The Dizzy Raven]: Eastern Time (USA)
You guys have around 25.5 hours left

2013-12-24 [Yuriona]:

2013-12-24 [Kbird]: My computer is down and I have no phone to send a picture with.....>.<

2013-12-24 [wicked fae mage]: Even if it is a bad picture via phone, you can send it to me to prove you did it and send the better one when your compy is back

2013-12-24 [Kbird]: I don't have s phone though...X(

2013-12-24 [Eyonic]: library?

2013-12-24 [Ravendust]: my gift is almost done, I have to sleep though x_x... so I will send it later after I finish touching it up!

2013-12-24 [Nocturnaliss]: I just got done, just need to clean the pic up ^^ which I'll be doing in a few minutes, when I'm done lunching lol

2013-12-24 [Kbird]: The library is pretty far....I live in the middle of no where.

2013-12-24 [Skydancer]: And. Done. :)

2013-12-24 [Yuriona]: I'll have mine done soon promise!!!

2013-12-24 [Eyonic]: :) dunno then kbird

2013-12-24 [CuteCommander]: At least you made it, Kbird - just late delivery :P

2013-12-25 [Kbird]: Yeah. X0 it wouldn't have been able to go out anyway, due to weather.

2013-12-25 [wicked fae mage]: Well, due to Kbird's compy problems, and trusting that the gift was made, but that it will just be a late delivery, is everybody okay with me just giving Kbird's Santee one of the extra gifts and then when we can, give the Santee their gift and still let Kbird get a gift?

2013-12-25 [wicked fae mage]: If everybody is, I can start giving away the gifts. But, in the off chance that Kbird did not make a gift, she will be thrown onto the no participating next year list anyhow.

Just want to be clear. :)

2013-12-25 [Flisky]: That's fine. (Personally, I wouldn't care if my santee didn't make a gift...because I would still want someone to receive the one I made.)

2013-12-25 [wicked fae mage]: I understand. That only presents a problem if you made it just for them like with their username inscribed or something.

2013-12-25 [Piercedskull]: I'm ok with it :)

2013-12-25 [Skydancer]: Sets out tea and beams at everyone in gentle acceptance. :)

2013-12-25 [Yncke]: Go for it, [wicked fae mage]. :)

2013-12-25 [Ms. Steel]: It's all good with me!

2013-12-25 [Koho Ai]: Doesn't bother me none

2013-12-25 [wicked fae mage]: Alrighty! I just sorted the gifts. Because there are like 20 of you, I'll need a wee bit of time to hand out the presents.

2013-12-25 [Skydancer]: No rush, is baking and fixing lunch. :)

2013-12-25 [Piercedskull]: Take your time lovely :)

2013-12-25 [Yuriona]:

2013-12-25 [wicked fae mage]: You can feel free to thank you Santa personally.

2013-12-25 [Lirerial]: I didn't get anything? :(

2013-12-25 [Eyonic]: :( you shoulda gotten something

2013-12-26 [Figgy]: Maybe Kbird was your SS?

2013-12-26 [wicked fae mage]: Oh, no. I'm sorry. You got something! Give me a sec

2013-12-26 [Eyonic]: :O made me have a wtf moment there wicked

2013-12-26 [wicked fae mage]: I got 20 something messages regarding gifts that were just the gifts and not inquiries about gifts and what the person likes. >.>

It just got lost in my inbox when I went through to give everybody their gifts.

2013-12-26 [Flisky]: Gift page?

2013-12-27 [wicked fae mage]: Feel free to make one.

2013-12-27 [Flisky]: Secret Santa 13 Gifts?

2013-12-28 [wicked fae mage]: Works for me!

2014-01-15 [Avoral]: MERRY CHRISTMAS!

2014-01-15 [The Dizzy Raven]: brought to you by internet explorer! lol

2014-05-15 [Avoral]: As was this response.

2014-05-26 [The Dizzy Raven]: lol

2014-07-29 [dead~spirit]: I want a nerf gun!

2014-07-30 [wicked fae mage]: You are too late for last year and too early for this year. Also, the requests are art of some sort like poetry, stories, drawings.

2014-07-30 [dead~spirit]: I want a artsy nerd gun!!!

2014-08-01 [wicked fae mage]: An*

Sorry, that is one grammar error that is nails on a chalkboard, even to read it.

2014-08-01 [dead~spirit]: I dont no whut yur talkin aboot...

2014-08-01 [Mortified Penguin]: Im nawt entirely shore ether.

2014-08-02 [CuteCommander]: Those misspellings just make it look like you're typing in a cockney accent. The worst ones are the your/you're mix up and should've being interpreted as should of

2014-08-03 [wicked fae mage]: Spelling and grammar are different. Spelling errors can cause grammar errors. I can't think of an example off the top of my head that starts with a grammar error and ends in a spelling error, although there may be at least one.

2014-11-08 [The Dizzy Raven]: Is it too late to request a Secret Santa 2014?????

2014-11-08 [Yncke]: Well, I've got the empty Secret Santa 2014 on watch, and nothing happened there yet. :)

2014-11-08 [Figgy]: I would like SS2k14 plz

2014-11-09 [The Dizzy Raven]: hmmmm :/ and wicked fae mage hasn't been here in almost 2 months :( I wonder if maybe someone else can host it?

2014-11-09 [CuteCommander]: As long as it's set up before December we'll be alright!

2014-11-09 [CuteCommander]: I could potentially run it...

2014-11-09 [Figgy]: I think it would be swell if someone else could set it up for us! :)
I'd volunteer as tribute, but I'm not sure if non-crew members can run this (and I'm a bit selfish and totally want to give and receive a gift :X)

2014-11-09 [The Dizzy Raven]: LOL I don't mind running it :) I can go ahead and set one up, if you guys would like. It's fairly simple and wouldn't take me long

2014-11-09 [Yncke]: It doesn't have to be someone from the crew, Secret Santa's an unofficial initiative.

2014-11-09 [Figgy]: I don't mind who runs it, I would just hate to see someone miss out it while running it.

2014-11-10 [Kbird]: We could always wait a bit longer, I mean Chriastmas is still a little ways off. Wicked Fae might be back by then.

2014-11-10 [Figgy]: Waiting doesn't really work for this kind of thing, though. There needs to be a good amount of time for people to sign up, and a lot of time for people to make their gifts. It's not really something that can be done in just a couple weeks.

2014-11-10 [Kbird]: true...I know that from last year...

2014-11-10 [Lirerial]: I'd do it too :)

2014-11-10 [The Dizzy Raven]: ok :) I will get one set up. I don't mind missing out for this year.

2014-11-10 [Figgy]: I know a website that can get everyone a gift, but it involves e-mailing them rather than PMing through ET. Dunno how many would be kosher with that.

2014-11-10 [The Dizzy Raven]: Secret Santa 2014 is up! :D

2014-11-10 [The Dizzy Raven]: Not sure, Figgy :/

2014-11-10 [Figgy]: Hm :<
