Welcome to the Valentine's Day TheOtaku Secret Santa Event for 2013!

This year, there's gonna be something a little different to start off the new year- a Valentine's Day SS! I, aragorn1014, and my really good friend Ryuchu will be co-hosting the event for 2013!

NOTE: This Secret Santa Event is only for drawings/fanart!

If you're unsure about how SS events work, click HERE!

The rules are all listed in the first post HERE!
Please read the parts in bold at least, if you don't want to read the whole thing. >.<

You can find a list of everyone who's participating in this event HERE!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask us!

Best wishes!<3

Quick Note!

Alright guys, I sent out about half of the PMs containing who you are the Secret Santa for. The other half will come sometime in the afternoon after I answer one last question.

Oh also, I realize that many of you may not be in the same timezone as me, so for future reference, this will be the timezone I'll be basing everything around.

Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

If you haven't received your PM yet, be on the look-out for it in the near future! :D

Reminder!: LAST DAY FOR WISHLISTS!

Hello once more!

I believe I managed to send out PMs to everyone that's still missing a wishlist, but if I haven't and you happen to read this post, please be aware that wishlists are due today before midnight. If you don't post by that time, we will (unfortunately) have to pull you from the event. That's the last thing I desire to do, so please make sure that you're punctual! ^-^

Also, if you just happened to stumble across this today and want to join, you're more than welcome to sign up! Just keep in mind that you have to have your wishlist posted by tonight.

Alright I believe that's it. :)

P.S. Paring-up will occur on Saturday; expect your PM then!

Reminder!: 3 Days Left To Join/Submit Wishlists!

Hello there everyone! I just wanted to drop by and remind you all that you have 3 days left to either join or submit your wishlists! Feel free to post a link on this post or any of the previous ones and we shall add it to the official list. :)

If you guys have already submitted your wishlist and you don't see it on the list, please feel free to inform either Sayura or myself and we'll attend to the problem as quickly as possible.

If you haven't posted your list by Friday, you will receive a PM from me (most likely), giving you one last chance to post it before we're forced to remove you from the event. I want this to be fun and open to everyone, so please don't make me do that!

Hope you all have a delightful day!
~ Ryuchu

1 Week Left+55 participants!

Hello everyone!! As the title says, there's 1 week left to post wishlists/decide to join if you'd like to! If you don't get your wishlist up in time, then I'll have to remove you from the event, sorry! >.< Ryuchu and I will probably send out reminder PMs three days in advance before the deadline as a last-minute check to see if you're willing to post your wishlist, but otherwise we'll have to remove you from the list, sorry!

Also, we have 55 participants as of now, so I'm super excited!! The more the merrier, so if there's anyone else you'd like to invite, please do so ^^ The list is looking great so far!

On another note, I apologize if I haven't gotten back to your comments/PMs very quickly-- I don't have a chance to reply/check all of my messages and comments every day during the school year because I'm really busy, so please try not to send me more than 2-3 PMs or comments if I haven't gotten back to you yet >.< Ryuchu and I will almost always see everyone's comments/PMs, so please be patient with us! Thank you!<3

Otherwise, that's pretty much it! So thank you for everyone who has posted their wishlists/joined in!! I'm getting REALLY excited about everything!<3 Take care!

Reminder: Less than 2 weeks for wishlists+admissions!!

Hello everyone!! First off, I want to say I'm REALLY excited with how the turnout is looking so far for this event--45 participants in just a few days! 49 now!!<3 I'm just incredibly thankful to everyone who's joining and I'm super super excited! ^^ Don't forget to spread the word so we can have even more people in the event~ the more the merrier, after all!

We have a new decoration up on top of the World-- a BEAUTIFUL banner made by the amazing artist, Yours Truly! She really took her time on making it, so I just wanted to say thanks so much to her on that. ^^ Ryuchu and I wanted to try something different this year, so instead of using ecards, we went with a banner custom-made for the event by Yours Truly. So thank you so much!! <3

This is just a quick reminder to let you know that wishlists are due by January 18th, and if you're still deciding on whether you'd like to join or not, you still have until then to make a decision as well. ^^ Thank you to everyone who has given me their wishlists so far! I really really appreciate it!<3

Also, if I've missed you and you sent me a wishlist link or request to join the event, please let me know so I may add you or your wishlist to the list!!

I hope you all are doing well! School starts for me tomorrow, as I imagine it will for some of you as well. So best of luck to those who are starting up again, and for those who aren't, enjoy your break!<3 Take care!
