NEW ADMISSIONS INTO THE EVENT ARE NOW CLOSED. Sorry! >.<

Welcome to the TheOtaku Secret Santa Event for 2011!

I, aragorn1014, will be hosting the event this year ^^ I hope it'll be a fabulous Christmas this year!<3

NOTE: This Secret Santa Event is only for drawings/fanart!

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 or comment here on this World and I'll compile a list of all members that wish to participate in this event here on this World. From there, I'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 December 24th-25th, 2011. I 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!

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

Best wishes!<3

LAST CALL FOR WISHLISTS

EDIT: It's past midnight Nov. 22nd, so this is the ABSOLUTE LAST CALL for wishlists! Those that haven't posted their wishlists will be removed from the list, sorry! >.<
Thanks to everyone that has submitted their wishlists in! I'll start doing pair-ups tomorrow and the day after!<3

Hello everyone~ I'm starting to wonder what the point of making this World was, because like... barely anyone reads the posts or the rules even when I say so OTL. It makes me sad T__T

So anyways~ Tomorrow is the FINAL day I will accept wishlists and participants for this SS Event! Please post up your wishlist on your World soon if you haven't already! >.<

If you have not posted your wishlist by the end of tomorrow, I'll have to remove you from the list, sorry! But I can't keep extending the deadline because I need to get you all paired up for the event soon so you have time to draw.

So yep, just be aware if you haven't linked me to your wishlist already! And thank you so much to everyone who has already submitted his/her wishlist already!

Take care everyone! I hope to see your wishlists soon! ^^

Extending deadline for participants/wishlists!

Hello everyone! I've been getting some questions about why I'm being so lenient about when people can join in/turn in wishlists, so I'll make it official(and to-the-point):

If you want to take part in this event, you must have joined/submitted your wishlist by November 22nd, 2011.

I'll edit the other posts accordingly. ^^

Thank you to everyone who has already submitted their wishlists and for all of the participants already! >.< I never imagined even getting close to this many people together for the event haha! I'm very excited!<3

As I've stated, you'll know who you are the Santa for sometime between November 25th-27th,2011~!

Take care everyone!

On admitting participants

Hello everyone! Happy November ^^ I hope you all had a fabulous Halloween!<3

Just a quick note since some people were wondering, the last day I'll allow anyone to join/have their wishlists submitted is November 22nd, 2011.

ALSO, really important:
PLEASE read the rules or at least just read the bold parts on this world! >.< BEFORE YOU ASK ANY QUESTIONS! I can't stress this enough...especially in regards to questions asking if this is an SS event just for drawings.

I also want to stress again that I won't be allowing tracing/redraws/bases. I have this written in the rules but I just want to make doubly sure that you all are aware of it. Refs ARE okay, just as long as the referencing isn't too blatantly obvious.

So that said...thanks so much for all of you that have said you are willing to participate or are thinking of doing so! I've sent out quite a few invites haha but I'm pretty sure I'm done with invitations for now. (if I think of anymore, I'll get to that xD)

Again, if you all have any questions, feel free to ask!<3 Take care!

SS Dates to know!

Just in case you're having a hard time remembering from my long wall of text from the rules lol, here's a list of when everything should be done!
I'll change dates if necessary, but I'm pretty good about keeping events on scheduleexcept my drawings OTL so don't think too much on that.

Wishlists- post and give me the link to it by Nov. 22nd, 2011
When you'll find out who you're the Secret Santa for- Nov. 25th-27th, 2011
(lots of PMs/Thanksgiving, so yeah)
Give your gift!- Dec. 24th-25th, 2011

Remember, if you find that you'll probably have to submit your gift late, let me know by PM so I can tell your person not to freak out. xD

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!<3 I'll put up reminder posts when dates are near just in case ^^

Take care everyone!
