A SS X-mas in July! -2012

Lovely card above is by chibi-anna-chan!<3 Thank you so much!

Admissions for the event are now CLOSED! >.< Sorry!

Welcome to the theOtaku Secret Santa Christmas in July event for 2012!

I, aragorn1014, and my amazing friend Ryuchu will be co-hosting the event this year! ^^ The last Secret Santa event for 2011 was a huge success, so we're hoping this event will be as well!<3

NOTE: This Secret Santa event is for fanart/drawings! >.<

The same rules apply this year as they did for the Christmas one, but here are some basic guidelines on the process to start off if you don't know how this works!

How It Works
BEFORE YOU ASK TO JOIN, READ THE RULES. Then PM me/Ryuchu or comment here on this World and we'll compile a list of all members that wish to participate in this event here on this World. From there, we'll randomly partner up each person with someone they must draw for after all post their wishlists.

Each person participating in this Secret Santa event must DRAW a MINIMUM of ONE picture for their person by July 24th-July 25th, 2012. We'll be giving a bit more lee-way though, since summers tend to be busy. So at latest, gifts will be posted by August 1st, 2012. We can't allow graphics(cards, wallpapers etc) for the purposes of this event, sorry!

The rules are all listed in the first post HERE!

If you are too lazy to read the entire thing, I went ahead and put the important parts in bold. Just read the parts in bold at least, please. >.<

You can find a list of everyone who's participating in this event HERE!

And a list of important dates are HERE!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!

Best wishes!<3

Thank you so much everyone for being so patient!<33 I'm so excited to have this go underway! ^^ Take care!

Admissions closed/FINAL CALL FOR WISHLISTS

Hello everyone!! I'm sorry for the lack of updates from me, but it's been a busy week and it's just now settling down! >.< Thank you to everyone who has their wishlists in~! I didn't want to have to send out any reminder PMs, but I will be sending ONE to those who haven't gotten their wishlists in yet.

As the dates show, you will find out this weekend from june 16th-17th who you will be the Santa for, so I hope you're all excited!!

I'll be spending the rest of today updating wishlists and sending out PMs, so I hope you all are okay! The wishlists look great so Ryuchu and I will now be closing admissions for the event!

36 people is a pretty good amount of people, so get excited!<3 Hope you all are doing great and happy summer! ^^

Reminder: Registration/Wishlist Due Tomorrow!

Quick reminder for everyone! Registration/wishlists are due TOMORROW!

IMPORTANT NOTE!: If you posted a wishlist or request to join the event recently and you don't see your name/wishlist added to the list, please know that I've taken note of all the links and requests you guys have sent. I personally don't have the ability to edit the post, but I send all information forward to Sayura, so she should be editing the post soon.

I'm sorry for any confusion this arrangement may cause. Please feel free to ask me any questions if my explanation was confusing or your confused about something else.

I hope you're as excited for this event as I am!

Reminder: 4 Days Left!

Hello all. Today is Wednesday and that means that there are only 4 days left for both registration and wishlist posting!

Please (for the sake of both Sayura-chan and my own sanity) have your wishlist posted on time! If not, we're going to have to hound you to post your list or remove you from the event, and we don't want to do either of those!

Thank you to all those who are participating and those who have already posted their lists. If you posted a link to your list and we accidentally missed you, please let me know so we can fix the problem as quickly as possible.

Hope everyone's having a great summer!
~ Ryuchu

Reminder: 1 Week Left for Admissions/Lists!

Hello all, Ryuchu once again!

I'm just stopping by to let you all know that you have 1 week left to register and post your wishlists.

Please don't forget to post a link to your wishlist once you finish!

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

~ Ryuchu
