Popo Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) As promised, here are the official rules for the Secret Santa Exchange! ^__^ Rules 1. Please send me your wishlist via PM by no later than December 3rd. I will send assignments out the following day. :3 2. Gifts are due on December 24th/25th. If you're going to be late, please let me know~! 3. When you fill out your wishlist, each of the three requests should encompass a different FE game. This is just in case the person drawing/writing for you hasn't played your favorite game. 4. I will send you someone else's wishlist, from which you will pick one prompt that you would like to do. 4. Guidelines for Art: Due to time constraints, if you only have time for a black-and-white drawing, that's okay. Just make sure that your work is detailed and clean. 5. Guidelines for Written Entries: A minimum of 300 words is required. Feel free to go above and beyond this limit. >W< 6. If you want to back-out, please tell me ASAP! If you would like to be a back-up, in case someone bails at the last minute, let me know. Essentially, you'll be volunteering to possibly dO a second entry. You'll be given a generous time extension if it comes to this. -- If you're interested, please fill out this form!

eclipse Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 1. I write. 2. I am NOT familiar with FE4/5. Will this screw me over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I am NOT familiar with FE4/5. Will this screw me over? Neither is Popo. I won't be participating, but it nice to see SOMETHING going in the creative board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttmuncher.ops Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I wish I had creative artistic skills. Unfortunately no one would like the type of fanfiction I'd write as a gift or I'd sign up ;/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popo Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) sorry, I already joined a fire emblem secret Santa on dA. you're too late now to join there though. I realize that. Both times I participated, I got stiffed, so I no longer want to participate in their events. ;3 Edit: Oops. Wrong group. XD FE-Club is a good place. I think the other group must have had a similar name. >o< 1. I write. 2. I am NOT familiar with FE4/5. Will this screw me over? No problem. :3 I'll try to match participants with those who have similar wishlists. Next question: What's a prompt? It's a request for a certain type of plot or idea. Here's an example of what I might fill out: Request 1 Character(s)/Pairing(s): Eliwood/Fiora Prompt: The time leading up to their engagement. :3 I just read a support conversation the other day that says Eliwwod traveled all the way to Ilia to bring back her favorite flower. More on that please? >w< Edited December 4, 2011 by Popo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popo Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Daugh, just found out what my studio final is going to be. I may not be able to do this after all. Noooo... D: If it helps, I'm going to be pretty loose with the deadline and the quality. :3 If all you have time to produce is an amazing sketch or piece of lineart, that'll be acceptable. (In that case, all I ask for is detail and neatness.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whase Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I realize that.

If it is the "fireemblem-club" you were in, they now ban everyone who didn't make anything in the past. and how does doing this here make the chances of not getting anything any smaller?

Thor Odinson Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) Goddammit, I'd participate but I have about three bajillion requests and an anniversary present to boot on top of finals. @____@ Maybe next year~ Edited November 28, 2011 by Luminescent Blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Thanks and thanks~! I'll give this a shot, and fill out that form later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iris Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) Awesome idea, Popo~! :3 and how does doing this here make the chances of not getting anything any smaller? Eh, I'm guessing that since we're a smaller community, it helps; most of us know each other personally, too, so if one of us doesn't give anything to anyone, it'll be easy to turn the whole community against you. Besides, we all like each other here, right~? :3 Goddammit, I'd participate but I have about three bajillion requests and an anniversary present to boot on top of finals. @____@ Maybe next year~ NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. >: Stupid Trent. I definitely want to sign up for this~as a writer, since, my art skills are nonexistent!

Freohr Datia Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) If I say I want pinkie pie and this thingy made it so that names of who you're drawing/writing for weren't revealed that would be a dead giveaway anyway XD I'd really like to do this (not as a writer since I always end up making stories reeeeaaaaaaalllllll long and I'd never finish XD) but I'm not entirely sure if I'd have as much time as I would want. I still wanna try though. I procrastinate with finals all the time anyway and that's really all that would get in the way. Oh also I'll find out the list of what I want later since I've gotta go noooowww =o Edited November 28, 2011 by Freohr Datia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, don't misunderstand me. I'm not setting up Secret Santa on SF as some sort of retaliation against the dA group that does it every year, and I'm in no way saying that the risk of not getting a a gift is minimized simply by doing it here. It's just for fun, and it's just a way to pump some life into the Creative board. A fandom can have more than one event. ;3 And yes, I didn't receive a gift either time. >o< Edited November 28, 2011 by Popo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zak Something Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) I'll join. I can't draw all that well, but I'll do my damned best. Edited November 29, 2011 by Ballin' Holyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popo Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! The official rules are up. If you've already sent me your wishlist, please double-check the new rules to ensure that your wishlist is correct. In particular, each of the three requests you ask for need to be from different FE games, just in case the person drawing for you hasn't played your favorite game. :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I guess I could write, maybe, Idunno. ...then again with my procrastination skills I might not actually get anything done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 A'IGHT I'm doing this. Popo, sign me up! ' 3' I'm under the assumption that the template you posted in the OP is the thing we're supposed to fill out and send you. Also, I don't draw, I sprite. Is that acceptable? If so, please don't think that a hindrance towards me if I were to get someone like Crash as my sendee. I'd still do my best to sprite whatever was asked. Sure it'll be tough as balls but still. Only saying that so you aren't afraid to pair me with some of the more intricate requests. If you could answer my questions that'd be greeeaaaaat~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) FfffffffffffffffffffffUCKITI'MENTERING Doop I only write, but I'll probably definitely go over 300 words. Edited November 29, 2011 by Furetchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer your question, yes, please fill out the form in the first post and send it to me. I'm going to try to pair spriters with other spriters, if possible. If it doesn't work out like that, I'll try my best to find a solution. :3 @ Furetchen: If you could PM me your wishlist and remove it from your post, that would be super! >w< Edited November 29, 2011 by Popo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
