Anikira Secret Santa 2015
For those of you who don't know, Secret Santa is when you are assigned a random person and have to give them a gift, and you will receive a gift too - but there's a twist! You keep your identity a secret to whoever your recipient is, and the gift that you receive is from a mysterious unknown figure (well, it'd probably be someone who you know, but you won't know who). I've been seeing this pop up all over the internet on various sites, and I thought that it would be fun to bring it to Anikira and make it a tradition.
What can I send?You can send all sorts of things! Points, graphics, bios, plot ideas, something from the shop, a new character plotted out and outlined... The possibilities are endless, although I think that we should keep to online, Anikira-based gifts (although if you feel like going the extra mile and sending them a quick gift IRL should you know them IRL, then do feel free!). Also, you don't have to make the graphics! If your recipient has graphics on their wishlist (see below for more info), then you can P.M. me for graphics for a small fee. If you want someone else to do graphics then I'm sure that they wouldn't mind you sending them a P.M., although try to not bug them if their request lists are full!
How should I send my gift?Please send all of the gifts to Silver with who it's from and who it's to so that I can easily keep track. Gifts will be sent out on the 24th of December, and the deadline for handing them in is the 20th. If you wish, you can deliver the gift to them personally from a new, temporary Secret Santa account (but staff can see your email if you use your current PB account to register), but you should still send me the gift so that I know that you've got their gift and I can keep track of things! Obviously, I won't participate, since that would ruin the surprise.
(When) can I reveal my identity?If you want it to be kept a secret forever, then you can specify on your form (see below) that you don't want to find out your Santa's identity. If your recipient doesn't have that on their form, then feel free to reveal yourself after the 25th (for that person's timezone! Again, see below).
When do I get my recipient's name?I plan for the 1st of December, but if we don't have enough people participating then we may have to wait until up to the 5th. If we don't have enough participants then it might have to be canceled - sorry! I'll P.M. you with your receiver's name.
I have another question!I'm kind of shitty at organising this kind of stuff, so if I've missed something out, then just P.M. me and I'll answer your question, and, if I think that the rest of Ani would benefit from it being answered, add it to this little FAQ.All right, sounds great! Can I sign up?[b]OOC Name:[/b]
