So I've mentioned this in IRC and had a few people ask me about it, so I thought I'd pen my thoughts here.

Here's how it would work:

1. You select a character from one of your quests. This character is entered into the list.
2. You then roll for who your character will shop for. If you roll yourself or someone who's already been selected, roll again. (For expedience I might just handle the random selection and just tell you who you're shopping for)
3. You update with what your character has chosen from their world to give to the other character.
4. Meantime, someone else is shopping for your character; when you find out what they've given you, update with your character's reaction.

You can enter multiple characters.

For example, if I entered Nem of Nem's Quest and rolled to be a Secret Santa for say, Chuck of Coxwette, then I would create a short update of Nem selecting something she thinks Chuck would like -- probably some "Dreamtime Tobacco". This doesn't mean that Chuck is shopping for Nem; some other character is shopping for her.

For the sake of fun, once you've done your required gift updates, you're free to do some extra shopping and it doesn't have to be a "secret Santa" as long as you clear it with the other author first, as not only do you have to do an extra update, so does the other participant.

Sound fun? If you're interested, let me know. We're going to want to get the base list taken care of before too long and get updating by December.

Sign-up will be in this thread. I'm going to set up batches of even numbers. The first batch will have a sign-up cut-off date of the 28th.

When signing up, include:
Your handle (preferably the one listed on the Wiki)
Your Quest
Your Quest Character

Your quest doesn't have to be currently active. If you don't have a quest, you can submit an Original Character with a short description or even an interpretation of an existing character, but it will be most meaningful to use a quest character.

You may sign up multiple characters.

On the 28th I'll be compiling the list and checking it twice. Anyone signing up on that day could wind up in either batch, depending on if I need to even up a list or not. I will then post who's gifting whom. For those of you curious, I'll be using RANDOM.ORG since rolling directly in the thread would be obnoxious.

Batch 2 Sign-up will be from the 28th to the 5th, and we'll just play it by ear from there. I have enough quest characters of my own to balance out any uneven batches.

Dead quests totally count, as long as I can still find the material on site -- if it's gone (I know yours is in the graveyard so it's not but I'm making a point) then just include a short description of the character and world the character resides in.

Please specify the character by name even if it's obviously going to be the protag, it saves me hunting down stuff.

Nine providing whoever's gifting them doesn't do separate gifts for pairs or groups. What I'll do is put them in my spreadsheet as a single entity, so the Secret Santa will know that the gift can be assumed to be shared, or if the person is ambitious multiple gifts can be given -- but that will be up to the Santa.

Hello hello, and here is the first batch of gift and gifters.

For the sake of readability, each artist will have their own subject line and list of characters that their characters will act as Secret Santa for. The gift target will be spoilered.

I'm planning on making the gift thread live Dec 1st at whenever time I'm coherent enough to do so.

If you find yourself needing references, while I've published them in your spoiler tags I also have a list of everyone's author pages from the wiki so I can link you additional information as required. Reading the quest to get the information to pick that perfect/hilarious gift however, is up to you.

This was more work than expected so I'm hoping to refine the selection process and posting process by the time the next batch goes up.

The next tentative sign-up cut-off will be Dec 5th. The instructions remain the same, and if you don't follow them then you'll have a greater chance of being accidentally forgotten about.

No. 106025 ID: e136ae

Just a few points of clarification from the chat and a few from this thread:

1. Each character has a minimum of two updates -- one for shopping for another character, and one for their reaction at the gift they received.
2. You don't actually have to draw the character you're gifting since the gift is being sent through time and space to the target. If you want to have them meet, please discuss it with your Santa since that will take a bit more coordination. Again, it's not required so it's on you if you want to be more elaborate.
3. Yes, you can be more elaborate. You can make a 24 page comic about the trials and tribulations of getting that perfect gift, and a 24 page follow-up about how the gift the character received changed everything.
4. If you don't follow the rules, don't be surprised if you get left out. I use your handle, Wiki entry, quest and character information not only to ensure the other person has enough information to update with, but also as a check-sum to make sure nobody gets left out.
5. Your characters are completely entitled to act in-character so if they're going to be lazy about their gift selection, they can be lazy about it, but they still need to send something. There's potential comedy value in say, Nem receiving socks for humans considering she's got hooves, Nouille getting pants, or being given some sort of weird alien residue that's the equivalent of gum in the character's world and it turning out to be some sort of mutagen for the receiving character.
6. The thread will be posted December 1st in Quest Dis. The last sign-up will be the 18th, unless interest wanes earlier. I've got several characters in reserve to help even out gaps, especially if there are some really ambitious people again in Week 2, so even though you never see me post my own characters in the sign up, rest assured they'll be there as needed (Nem rounded out this week for example)

We are currently signing up for Round 2, if you missed todays' cut-off.

Sign-up will be in this thread. I'm going to set up batches of even numbers. THIS SECOND batch will have a sign-up cut-off date of MON DEC. 5

When signing up, include:
Your handle (preferably the one listed on the Wiki)
Your Quest
Your Quest Character

Your quest doesn't have to be currently active. If you don't have a quest, you can submit an Original Character with a short description or even an interpretation of an existing character, but it will be most meaningful to use a quest character.

If you don't have a Wiki entry but you have a quest, let me know and I will make you one. Include some information about yourself so I can put more than 'something something author of X'.

You may sign up multiple characters.

As a reminder, this is how it works:

1. You select a character from one of your quests. This character is entered into the list.
2. You will be given a randomly selected character THAT YOUR CHARACTER IS GOING TO SHOP/MAKE A GIFT FOR. This is one of two minimum updates.
3. Meantime, someone else is shopping for your character. When you find out what they've given you THROUGH THEIR SHOPPING UPDATE, then YOU UPDATE with your CHARACTER'S REACTION.

This is mostly character development over art, because you have to think like your character, both for shopping and in reaction.

You don't have to draw anyone else's character. You're also totally free to do it anyway, and you can do multiple updates, your character can buy extra stuff -- as long as you clear it with the other author.
