Secret Santa 2014
Welcome to Secret Santa 2014!
Here for yet another year it's Elftown's very own Secret Santa! The idea is the same - everyone who wants to draw, paint, photograph, or write etc. a present for someone else and receive a gift in return, sign up below!
How does this work? You will be assigned to make a present for one of your fellow participants, (who you are making your present for should remain a secret!). In turn, someone will be assigned to make a present for you! But please note: you will not receive the present made for you if you don't submit the present you were supposed to make!
Sign up ends on December 1st. Tell your friends to join, too - the more the merrier! Just use the 'invite' button to invite everyone you think would like this idea to come and have a look.
So, here's what to do:
1. Sign up below, listing your username, and any hints you may have for what kind of Christmas present you'd like (not giving hints is cool too). If it's a character of yours you're hinting at, you need to post a link to a description/pi
cture on this wiki - because obviously, you won't know who is drawing your present, so you won't be able to give them the info yourself.
2. On the 1st, you will receive the name of the person for whom you will be making a present. Don't forget to check to see if they gave a hint about the kind of thing they like, but don't be disheartened if you don't think you can draw what they hinted - they're hints to inspire you, not demands.
3. Get your creation in by the 24th of December! Send the completed piece to [The Dizzy Raven].
4. [The Dizzy Raven] shall send everyone their present on the 25th, around midday Elftown time. Receive your gift, be thankful, merry and spread festive spirit!
Rules:
1. The art/writing/photography/pumpkin carving etc. must be 100% your own! See rule 4 for more information about photomanipulations.
2.Please put some effort into it. How would you feel if you got a present and it was clear it was a half-assed job they didn't care about? Don't submit drawings on lined-paper, or crappy camera phone photos etc. - they won't be accepted, and you won't receive your present, either.
3. If you don't submit your present, you will not be allowed to enter Secret Santa the next year. See Secret Santa 2011 2 for a list of those not allowed to enter.
4. Photomanipulations are allowed but if you choose to do a photomanipulation please place the piece on a wiki, along with all the relevant stock information, and send the link to the wiki to [The Dizzy Raven].
5. Images must be uploaded to Elftown.
6. No whining. It's Christmas. And this page is about giving and receiving presents. Only positive thoughts are allowed here.
FAQ:
Q: Will my Santee be the person who is making a present for me?
A: Of course not - then it wouldn't be very secret, as you'd all know who your Secret Santa was. This also explains why we don't need an even number of entrants. :)
Q: Oh no! My Santee has asked for something I can't make! What do I do?
A: Stop panicking. The hints expressed are just that - hints They're not lists of "these are the only things I like and if my present isn't one of these things I shall hate it." They're just there to help you get some inspiration as to what they might like. Another source of inspiration is your Santee's Elftown House. The most important thing is to make the gift personal to them. :)
Q: My Santee said they wanted a drawing and I'm a writer! They'll hate my present, what do I do?
A: See above. Stop panicking.
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 [The Dizzy Raven] 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
example:
0. [The Dizzy Raven]-I like cheese and turtles!
1. [Kbird] I like anime stuff, darker works (edgar Allan poe, Tim Burtonect), stitch work, anything somewhat macabre but with humor thrown in.
2. [CuteCommander] Anything of a Nordic or Celtic style would be great :D
3. [Nocturnaliss] Always Dragons for me, but feel free to surprise me ;)
4. [Figgy] I will always always love art, stories, or anything at all to do with my OCs, particularly Light Blackburn or Tetra Riddle. I'm also really digging NBC's Hannibal right now, and I enjoy Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead. I also like foxes and penguins, and I'm a sucker for pastels, esp. pink and purple.
5. [Lirerial] I love any type of art, stories or poems. I enjoy anything Celtic or supernatural and horses and large cats.
6. [Ravendust] er... oh gosh, just surprise me this year! :D
7. [Yami] I'm not horribly picky, though I'd love a picture of my O.C. Koiiko and Alois from Black Butler. Koiiko is a cross dresser, and would be in a Victorian gown, this is him: 
8. [Duredhel] Sure, why not? It'd be Daniela Morgan from the X-men RP, or my OC, Bunny (http://duredure.tumblr.com/post/97461686433/new-character-the-names-bunny)
9. [Yncke] Happy with anything, but if you need some inspiration, maybe something Per'Bat related?
10. [Ms. Steel]
11. [Yuriona] Pretty much anything Dragons & Dungeons or Halo related is good with me. I like dragons, elves, fairies, dwarves, ghosts, the macabre, modern & medieval weapons, siege engines, arms & armor. I like drawings, writings or photos. Landscapes, architectures, animals, and especially ruins or structures/places with stories. Yup, pretty much anything goes with me. Even erotica or dark, twisted & gory.
12. [Flisky] - Artists: a drawing of myself and my [Evolution X]. If not that, then one of my OCs found at Flisky's Character Collection. Writers: a nice fanfic of The Walking Dead or Star Trek TOS, a poem, or a hopeful story. Photographers: pretty landscapes or something of that nature.
13. [ancienteye] - I love monsters and pretty landscapes alike~ You can use anything from Fantasy or SciFi genres for me (although whether or not I'll get the reference is totally up in the air). If you are completely stuck on ideas for me, here's my DA account to take a look at my own chars: http://sorwaitte.deviantart.com/gallery/ Just so you know though, I totally suck at making elaborate (or just not overly-simplistic) architecture and SciFi ships so if you are an artist, I would love you forever for drawing something along those lines. :3
14. [Linderel] - Anything you think I might like based on information you may find by snooping in my house and/or wikis.
15. [Amelia Stark] Imma say the same thing as last year very Jrock obsessed. Mainly Dir en grey, anything Fantasy, Tim Burton, Tattoos, stories, fanfic, But a little add on I have recently been into Marvel universe and the fandom pairings they have Specifically Loki/Thor or more so Captain America/ Iron Man.
16. [Piercedskull] Loki/Tom Hiddleston and Tony Stark/Robert Downey jr :3 or my character Felix.
