I'd love a secret santa event.

It means drawing <3 (for me at least).

Sounds like a great idea to me. How would you plan on doing it?

I was actually thinking of doing a thread like this.

Nice idea, SDY, let's see how it goes with the rest of the forum:

I think I would let Feld set it all up, since he has done it before. What you do is sign up, saying how many gifts you can give. It can be pretty much anything as long as its creative. Signatures, art, music, writing, poem, pictures, ect.

How many of you would be willing to participate?

I would be willing to participate, but my gift would probably blow away who I am. I have a pretty tell tale drawing style, and my other hobby is fairly unusual for this site, lol.

I'd be willing to participate.
The only thing bugging me would be if people gave signatures. If they required actual effort, it would work, but just photoshopped images shouldn't count.

For most secret santas, you reveal your gift at the end, or at least every one I have participated in online.

Oh, so this has been done before? Was that last Christmas on here or was it somewhere else? Anyway, I'd be willing to participate. I could make signatures but not much else.

Dang it! :P

I'll participate, but yeah, only siggies. Although mine are photoshopped, they do provide effort.

In the ones I have participated, no one is supposed to know who sent you the gift, so that's why I said that.

Actually, I've never hosted a Secret Santa before. The Cross-Community Secret Santa that was held between three Yoshi forums last year wasn't run by me. But I don't think it's anything overly difficult.

The only potential issue I see with such an event is that TheWiiU.com is a community of gamers, not artists. We do have a number of creative people here, but they don't form a significant portion of the active userbase, as far as I can tell. But I'd still love to see a Secret Santa happen regardless, even if we don't get all 900+ members taking part in it. Stay tuned.

I was thinking the exchange would be only for the people who sign up to do secret santa. That way, even if they exchange is small, its a start.

The way it will probably go is that the event will need a starting date and a rough deadline. For that deadline, we could either make a single topic where we present our gifts or multiple topics. If you need any help putting this together, I suppose that I could help.
I have participated in 3 online secret santas, so far, so I have a good idea on how it works.

I'll volunteer.

I shall be drawing.

Oh yes, and in the secret santa events I have been in, you have to guess who sent you the gift.
