Updates
Dec. 26/09: So Christmas has just passed; I hope you all had a good one!
Now the Secret Santa event is over, I hope all of you have submitted in your presents! I went through all your portfolios to see who has submitted them [on time], and I found a couple naughty boys and girls. I’m really disappointed about this. I’m sending out PMs to all of you who still haven’t submitted in your present(s). Your matches are still awaiting their presents! What are you doing!! Please hurry and submit your part!
Well, aside from that, I hope all of you enjoyed being a part of the event! Thank you to everyone for making it all happen! It was fun to set up the event and coordinate everything, even though it got a little messy and confusing. ^^;
Through hosting this event, I got to learn about you guys, so I think that’s pretty cool~ I hope some if not all of you made some friends from participating in this event.
Well, have a Happy New Year, and hope to keep in touch! <3
Dec. 22/09: Alrighty, it's almost Christmas! I hope you guys are about done with your presents!!
I wanted to ask everyone to let me review their presents before submitting them to prevent anyone from being offended or the like, but I figured most people won't get to telling me they're done with their gifts, so nevermind that.
Also, if you're done with your present(s), you can go ahead and submit it/them if you'd like. Christmas is pretty close, so feel free to do that. But if you want your match to see your present(s) on Christmas or Christmas Eve so it'll feel more like a Christmas present, then feel free to do that as well! I'm just not holding you guys back anymore.
One last thing: I'll be displaying all the presents being given here. You can see the ones that are done and submitted with the list of participants. They're the ones with an X (×).
Well, that's all for this update!
Dec. 06/09: It's been a couple days, and I have still yet to receive replies from some of the SSE participants with who they're matched with. I said I'd wait a week, so I'll be waiting till December 10th for those replies. I will send PMs personally 2 days before to ask again, and if I still don't get a reply, I will replace those participants with another member who wanted to join, but was too late to sign up. (The reason I'm doing this is because I need to make sure you guys are active!)
Still waiting for a response from: balletninja, Gothic Sasuke77, KuroshitsujiVamp, PsychoJapaneseKyd, Ryuchu, VWBSZWAS, Wolf curse77
Pending users: just.me, Burning Silver, beloved blood, ray24, Hop-Frog
I'd just say the pending users shouldn't get their hopes up. ^^; Just need some place to put the record.
Dec. 05/09: I've added an important update to the rules: Be respectful to your Secret Santa and other participants of the event!!
Dec. 03/09: Hope you're all doing alright with your Secret Santa presents! I sent out PMs to everyone to tell me who their match is, because I got a little confuzzled after the reassignment. Whoever doesn't reply [in a week, I guess] will be considered to be out of the SSE... Hopefully this doesn't happen. I need to make sure everyone is responsible in doing their part!
Anyhow, the main reason I'm updating is because I added a question to the FAQ.
Nov. 29/09: Hi, guys. I have taken myself out of the event and did a minor reassignment in Secret Santas due to an addition of a new participant plus the fact that I noticed a few errors. I sent out a PM to those who have been reassigned; please check with it and delete the first one I sent so there won't be any confusion. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
And in case any of you are wondering, the randomizing was done at Boogspace.com.
Nov. 28/09: I've sent out PMs to all the participants with another username from the list. If you haven't received a PM from me yet, please let me know.
There ended up being an uneven amount of participants, so I included myself. ^^; Now mine isn't so secret... Haha XD
Please search the name I assigned to you in the list of participants to make sure I sent you the correct spelling of the username. Sending a PM to 63 different members doesn't really help my patience with checking spelling. ^^;
I rearranged the list of participants so that now they're in alphabetical order. I did this so that when people send me links to their wishlists and whatnot, the Secret Santas will have an easier time finding the usernames. XD
Also added a question to the FAQ.
Well... What are you waiting for? Get started on those presents! XD
7:51PM EST: DixieWings has her "wishlist" up, so here's a call-out to her Secret Santa!Members' links to their posts regarding what they like/dislike can be found on the page with the list of participants. A heart (<3) will be next to the names that have put up their list, and you can click that heart to be directed to their page. Good luck and have fun, everybody!
Nov. 26/09: Added a question to the FAQ.
Tomorrow's the last day to spread the news about the SSE! Make sure to let as many people you can know! XD I will start assigning names after midnight on the 27th.
Nov. 22/09: I decided to make this page so you guys don't have to look for the updates. XD
In case you haven't noticed, I drew something for the SSE (as seen on the first page) and changed the overall design of the World! Very hard to miss! XD The drawing took awhile to finish... And I slept at like 4:30AM last night because of it. *sigh* =_= Lol. Didn't even notice the time.
- Added a question to the FAQ! XP
- We now have over 35 confirmed participants! Thank you to all those who are interested in joining, and those who have helped spread the news... Keep up the great work!! 8D
