Secret Santa 2014

Okay so I like puzzles! If you are a type of person who likes constructing puzzles that is something I would enjoy receiving. If you are a different type of person, I am as narcissistic as the next guy and would love to receive anything having to do with things I have done in the past (forum adventures Attraction and Deadly Maze Math Puzzle Adventure or grand battles Spectacular Exhibition, Vivacious Deadlock, Wretched Rite, and Fearsome Exhibition). If you want to mail me a thing get in touch through secret channels and I can get you an address.

Hey folks!
If youre the kind of person who likes doing arts, google Blendersongfia! Mirdini and I had a lot of fun creating characters and organizing it, so im sure theres a lot of material there you could work with.

If you like writing/music, im in need of something a drunk man might sing/play in the corner of a soddy, Western-themed bar (think cowboys).

And if were talking physical gifts, in into any manner of things that would be difficult for me to get myself in Canada, inc. handmades, local jam preserves, strange candy or beverages. I like odd looking things and puzzles too!

wah so like if anyone needs help with what my gifty thingie should be, i super am into cute arts of my goofy characters ect. but id also be up for mail if anyone wants to send it allll the way to scotland. ;u;

I am also a person who loves puzzling, but more math than puzzles. Math is great. Math puzzles would be even more so.

I also suppose I wouldn't NOT be up for some indulgence in arts of things I have done in the past, such as all those dead adventures still on the Other Forum Adventure Forum. I think I've linked all of them into my signature. I'm kinda horrendous at characters though so I mean . . . . .

A story is also super great.

I'm not sure how well my family'd take to receiving mystery mail out of the blue, though, so I wouldn't really suggest that. Unless you send me a math textbook. Specifically abstract algebra.

Operation Secret Santa complete!

Right, shit, okay. So in terms of stuff, if you're a writing/art person then things of my characters are appreciated? Any of my Grand Battle characters are fine for that. Of my OCs, my favorites are Kriok (refs: 1 2), who's some kind of alien cyborg bird; Lavi (refs: 1 2 3), who's a peasant and also a tree, maybe; and Pax (refs: 1 2 3), who's a blonde androgynous vaguely-genderqueer android.

If art/writing isn't your thing, my other interests are like, anything relating to biology or history. I dunno how you'd incorporate that into a gift, though, which probably doesn't help.

In terms of mailing physical things (if that's something you want to do) you could mail me literally anything and I'd be excited about it. You could mail me a live bobcat and I'd be ecstatic. I live in California, so I dunno how easy it is to mail things.

Merry Christmas, everyone! Except you wacky New Zealanders for whom it's already the 26th.

I've sent along gifts from my half of the Secret Santa. I'm not sure if Plaid sent hers out yet; she said she would on her Christmas evening, but I didn't see her yesterday, so maybe she was busier than expected and/or forgot.

A little reminder: If you don't want to reveal which half of the exchange you're in (so you don't inadvertently take yourself off the list of possible Santas for someone in the other half), you might want to wait until you hear from her before posting your gift. Of course, if you don't mind that, then go ahead.

Thanks to everyone who managed to get a gift together. My apologies to people on my half who didn't get a gift yet; I'll send it in as soon as your Secret Santa is done, and if that takes until February, I'll write something at your request as compensation.

I have received one gift and passed it along last night; and one person saying they're going to be a little late. I'm assuming that's the case for everyone else, as per usual :v

Anyway, here's the one i got!



Thank you mystery santa, i really love it <3

I'm posting mine too to encourage people to get on with things so we can all show stuff off



My extremely secretive Santa was so secret, they signed theirs for MAXIMUM SECRECY. Thank you for drawing all the best birds/Parliamentarians!

Whomever sent me my Secret Santa, it's fantastic. Really!

But innnnnsteeeeeadd of posting it here, I think I'll save it for something down the road, y'know?
Gonna talk to Mirdini about perhaps arranging something.........

But honestly! Very pleased! Thank you very much whomever you are!
I will be sure to show it off as soon as I can!

But first, I have to meet my win condition.

dragon monotype >:D

you did get 5/6 of my actual team (hydreigon, garchomp [mega], goodra, tyrantrum, dragalge) so that's not bad. the other one is latias whom i can understand you not drawing, as this is evolution art. but i love it! i've been maining noivern in my ORAS team so i really appreciated that plug. :)

now if i could just figure out who drew this... i feel like i might know who it is already. (p.s. i was offered to have this mailed to me, and i'd love to take that offer. this mystery person might have to PM me for my address though.)

omg i love this



completely seriously, I think it's better quality than some of the .gifs I made for ADR. Incredible.
Thanks, secret santa!

wah! I got my sant!

It's super adorable aa yay thank you!

Good to see more of these coming in! They're all looking pretty great.

(Reminder: People who haven't gotten theirs in yet should do that!)

So! February's coming up in a little under two weeks. At that point, I'll do writing requests for anyone who doesn't have their gift (or at least have it in the mail if it's something physical), provided they've made something themselves.

Just a reminder to people who haven't gotten their things in yet.

Hey people! It's the 28th! I highly recommend getting your Secret Santas in now if you haven't already.

If you have but didn't mention it, go ahead and post them!

wah! I got my sant!

It's super adorable aa yay thank you!

Mr. Pidge is impressed by Corvus and wishes to invest in this product.

Last reminder: tomorrow's your final Secret Santa deadline! After that, I'll be compensating people who didn't get things, unless they didn't make anything either.

(To be clear: If you at least sent some kind of placeholder while you try to get something more elaborate together, you qualify for a writing request. If you received a placeholder, you also qualify provided you made something. If you don't think you can get something fancy together, do what you can today and send it along.)
