:sparkle: :sparkle: Forum Secret Santa 2022 :sparkle: :sparkle::sparkle: Signups open now  :sparkle:
Hi folks! It's coming round to the end of the year again, so that means it's time for the forum secret santa, a time-honoured anonymous gift exchange and guessing game! Previous examples can be found here and here.

:sparkle: How do I join? :sparkle:
In order to join in on the festivities, you must make a post in this thread. In order to give your gifter a better idea of what you like, you could talk about some of your fan-related interests - what fandoms you're interested in, what pairings you enjoy, how much fluff or angst you like, or if you have a strong preference for fanart over fanfic. You can also mention any other interests or hobbies you might enjoy, like gardening or knitting or knowing way too much about different types of birds. Maybe your gifter has something in common!

Importantly, if there's anything you really don't want to recieve as a gift (content you don't like, any pairings that squick you out) please include that too if necessary, so your gifter can make sure you recieve a gift you love.

Signups close at midnight forum time on November 30th. I'll send out PMs the next day or two to let you know who your giftee is!

Make your gift! It can be anything - fanart, fanfic, poetry, a recipe, an choose-your-own adventure story - so long as it's something that you've made yourself. Remember to keep it a secret!

PM me your gift by midnight forum time on December 20th. On December 24 I'll send out all the gifts! Feel free to guess and speculate on who made what gift in the thread here, and if people still haven't guessed everything by December 31 I'll release the list of who made what gift!

:sparkle: Important Information :sparkle:
Please only sign up if you know you have time to make your gift! There's no trouble at all if things are too crazy this time of year and you don't have time.

If life stuff happens and you find yourself unable to make your gift in time, PM me as soon as you can so I can re-assign your gifter and giftee.

Also: Have fun! Be creative! Enjoy yourself! Best of luck to everyone!

I would love to join in! Main fandoms I enjoy are Minna’s work and Girl Genius, but I’m open to most things. Format of work doesn’t matter much, I’m not greatly into angst or cruelty for its own sake but don’t mind sad tales. I like art, music, humour, poetry, filk, stories or information. My interests are food, music (especially folk and filk but any music is good), brewing, perfumery, gardening, storytelling, bushcraft and wilderness skills, mining and geology, people and their interactions, and anything nature-related.

I can do poetry, storytelling, filk, recipes, factual articles (at present in the mundane world I am writing ‘Plant of the Week’ articles for a local environmental newsletter).. I am utterly lacking in the skills of art, so sadly can’t make pictures (though I love to receive art). There are examples of my work in previous Secret Santas, and on Archive of Our Own, where I am Tanist.

Let’s all have seasonal fun!

Halloo I'm in!  More details about what I like later, but in general I like fluff, humour & art.

Edit: Open to art or stories or edits - my familiar references outside of the Minnaverse include:
 :V webcomics Girl Genius, Namesake, Alice and the Nightmare, Tigress Queen, Between Failures
 :V books/series such as Queen's Thief, LotR, Old Kingdom Chronicles, His Dark Materials, Pern, the Lewis Carroll Alice books, Discworld, cookbooks, Ogden Nash's poetry
 :V TV shows such as Star Trek, Miraculous Ladybug, The Owl House, Derry Girls, Peanuts specials
 :V Original art! Love nature, cats, figurative work, urban scenery, gestural abstraction, ink drawings & prints, cartooning....

I have a very short list of DNW: horror, anime references, romance (ships are fine & all, but not as primary focus)

I would like to do this, but I am limited on what I will be able to "gift"

Interests food, cooking, recipes,  (I read cookbooks like novels ha ha), cats (I have a furry horde) Reading.  Because I joined the forum so late, I really enjoy people's art and writing.

I follow on discord (SSSS, Immaterial , which has absolutely lovely art. Suihira, Phantomarine thanks goes to linebyline for those..)

I like most things, mostly happy endings.  I do not do horror or gore.  (gives me nightmares)

Jitter:
I’m in, and glad we are making this! Hopefully we’ll get a good number of participants.

I can gift a story, or some poetry. I could also do some light research / description of things Nordic, but then it would probably be overly obvious it’s me :) Unfortunately I can’t art.

I would love a sweet, happy and/or fun work, story or art, with fluff and maybe (not mandatory) some romance. I appreciate very different stories too, but for this challenge I’d like something happy :)

I would like to in particular ask @lwise to consider joining in addition to the usual suspects :) Your tales are delightful but you seldom participate in the events. Also @Mirasol, I’m hailing so that you don’t miss the announcement!
