Welcome to Secret Santa!

FAQ-Please check the FAQ before asking a question.

Updates!:

SIGN UPS ARE CLOSED

Alright! First I'd like to thank everyone who got their assignment in on time! You are the reason that I decided to do this. I hope everyone who has received a gift is happy with it! We got a lot of lovely work and I'm very happy about that! I hope you guys all had a good Christmas and have a happy new year!

Now on to a sadder note. There were several people who did not turn in an assignment. If you did turn one in and are on the following list please send me a note! I'm certainly not perfect and could have easily made a mistake with all the notes and emails I've sorted through. The following please contact me NOW as to why you have not turned in an assignment. Please tell me if you plan on turning one in late, if not I will not hesitate to blacklist you and ban you.









YOU MUST CONTACT ME TODAY WITH YOUR REASONS AND IF YOU PLAN TO TURN IN A GIFT AS I HAVE TO START MAKING BACK-UPS RIGHT AWAY OR I WILL AUTOMATICALLY BLACKLIST YOU.

As you can see there are several people on the list and I won't possibly be able to make gifts for everyone who didn't get one so I would now also like to ask those who signed up to be a back-up gifter and would still like to be one to send me a note, with the subject being "Back-up Gifter" If you did not sign up to be one, but would like to help out then please send a note as well.

If you did not receive a gift, I am very sorry but please be patient I will do my best to get you one!

Thank-you for your time! Happy Holidays to all!

*****
I had a lot of writers request a drawing, but not many artists wanting fanfiction so priority will be going to artists, but I think I can manage it so that the majority is happy with what they get.

As for the specifics of exactly how this will be happening first DO NOT POST IT ANYWHERE. I cannot stress this enough it is VERY IMPORTANT. Afterall you wouldn't want to ruin the surprise right?

Please upload your drawing to an image hosting website such as PHOTOBUCKET or if you would prefer TINYPIC and send the DIRECT link to me in a note titled "Secret Santa Gift". If you are writing then please make sure it is in .DOC format only which is basically what is the default in word. Then e-mail it to me as an attachment to edwardcullen_owns_mysoul@yahoo.com with the subject also being "Secret Santa Gift". If you do not know how to do either of these two methods please note me when you are ready to send it to me.

ALL ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE DUE BY DECEMBER 23rd. If you do not complete your assignment you will be be blacklisted. However I will understand if you have something significant such as a death in the family because obviously that would be more important. This will only be in rare cases and a case by case scenario, and hopefully we won't have to deal with that. If for some reason you cannot finish your assignment by the 23rd but will be able to have it done a day or two late, then send a note to the club or my other account . Please only if there is no other way do this.

Once I receive the gifts I will post them to the club and reveal the secret santas! You are then free to post your work wherever you wish.

I hope that you will all do your best to make someone else's Christmas more brighter! Thank-you all for participating in this event!




First I hope you would all know what a secret santa is but for those who don’t it is basically a gift exchange where one person makes you a gift and you in return make someone else a gift. This is a themed secret santa meaning that all gifts made and received MUST in some way be related to twilight. There are many clubs here on dA if you wish to do something else. I just wanted to make one of twilight because now there are so many twilight fans on dA as opposed to last year when there wasn’t that many.

Rules:

If you sign up you must complete a drawing or a fanfiction for someone in order to receive your gift.

Fanfiction- Must be a one-shot unless you are willing to write a chaptered fic, which I don’t think you would be as that would be a hassle and in which case it must be FINISHED when you send it to me. Must be at LEAST 2 pages long unless they request multiple drabbles in which case it’s alright. Make sure that it is finished, spell-checked and in .DOC format by the time you submit it. It would also make my job a lot easier if you could get a beta to look it over.

Fanart- Have it in the best quality that you can make it to be. Traditional/Digital media only please. However whichever you choose it must be colored in some way.
- If what you have made/requested for has Mature Content, please indicate/place a warning beforehand.

Once you join list the club's icon somewhere in your journal so more people can join!

Also I ask that you have at least 2 deviations in your gallery just so I am aware that you are active here.



DO NOT POST/UPLOAD YOUR FANART/FANFICTION ANYWHERE UNTIL THE DATE OF THE REVEALING.
After the revealing, go ahead and post it wherever you'd like to post it.

First you must the club and send a note to join then you will simply fill out this wishlist and send it as a NOTE to this club:

E-mail Address: I will not give this to anyone and is only for in the case that I have to contact you.

Things I'd like: Please fill this with as much detail as you can. Do you want a specific Edward/Bella moment drawing? Please list many things you would like so your gifter has many options. List the pairings you would like to receive and those you would not like. Also to make things easier list a fanfiction and fanart prompt, but specify which one you would like to receive more. You can also just say you just want an Edward/Bella drawing but please be aware that means that someone has total liberty to do with that what they wish.
