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

Secret Santa for theOtaku 2011!

Hello everyone!! I know that it's Halloween tomorrow, but I've decided I'd take it upon myself to host a Secret Santa event for theOtaku this year, 2011!

So, I'm not that popular and this is my first time hosting a huge event like this, so I hope that it goes well ^^; I'll be sending some PM invites to some members, but ANYONE can join.

And here are the rules for the event! They are fairly straight-forward, but if there's something you don't understand, feel free to comment or PM me!

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. >.<

The Rules
1)You MUST read the rules FIRST, then PM me or comment this post if you want to join.

2)You must have your wishlist posted somewhere on one of your worlds by November 22nd, 2011.Once you've posted up your wishlist, PM me or comment here with a link to your Wishlist so I may post it up on this World.

3)You are required to give a MINIMUM of 3 options for your Secret Santa to choose from in your wishlist. This is so they'll have many options to choose from. However you are NOT required to draw ALL of the options, though you ARE required to draw ONE at the least.
Which reminds me PLEASE try to give DIVERSITY to the options you give. Like don't make all 3 options three different Naruto characters. Throw in some of your OCs/FCs or people from different animes etc.

4)Please take time on your gift and make it nice for your person! It'd be nice if you could do more than just a chibi(unless the person asks their Santa for a chibi, of course), but I won't have any sort of limitations on skill level or what you draw for this event. I DO expect, however, that you put your heart into your gift. They'll appreciate it, I promise!

5)Post your Secret Santa gift anytime between December 24th-December 25th, 2011. If you find that you'll have to post later than that, let me know so I can tell your gift-receiver so they won't freak out lol.

6)If you do not draw, you can't really participate in this, sorry! >.< THIS IS FOR DRAWINGS ONLY, not e-cards/wallpapers. This is to make it even for all participants.

7)You CAN do a black-and-white drawing, but it MUST be really quality work. I really do prefer color for this event, but I leave that up to the artist.

8)You MUST be able to draw humans. Knowing how to draw animals is an option, so don't worry about that. NO TRACING/REDRAWS/BASES- but using a ref(as long as it's not too noticeably referenced in your pic) is okay!

9)And finally, please promote this/invite friends! If we want to make this fun, the more the merrier!<3

Substitute Secret Santas: If you think you'll be able to make more than one gift in the event that someone drops out/can't draw a gift, let me know and I'll put you down as one!<3

I will allow an UNLIMITED number of participants for this event. So let me know if you're gonna join in! =)

I'm looking forward to hosting this this year!<3 Best wishes!
