Those of anda whose names are on link will receive your Secret Santa Assignment tonight at midnight Pacific Standard Time. At that time, the daftar will be closed and no lebih people will added PUBLICLY. If anda still want to gabung in on the fun (as I expect some people will) please message me PRIVATELY. If I have enough stragglers, I can probably work something out.
Now, whether atau not anda participated last tahun atau not, anda probably want to know how this tahun is gonna work. anda will be diberikan another user to find a special gift for this holiday season. Your mission, should anda choose to accept it, is to craft something (a video, image, virtual card, icon, story, poem, etc) that anda think will appeal to this user. Don't worry if it's not a user you're familiar with. Here are my tips for dealing with a user anda don't know very well.
1) Look at the spots they have medali in. If the user has added a lot to that spot, it's a very good indicator of their likes and obsessions. If it helps, theme their gift after their favorit televisi show, atau make a slide tampil to the musik of their favorit band.
2) Look at their profile. Most people fill out what their favorit movie, musik and book is in their little profil square. This is similar to looking to see what spots they have medali in.
3) Check their websites. Not everyone lists a website in their profile, and don't go stalking anyone to find out who they are on facebook if anda don't know them that well. But if they do daftar a website, atau a link to their facebook atau MySpace, try checking that out, just to know what their tastes are.
So now anda know what kind of tastes your assigned user has. But anda still don't know how to turn that into a thoughtful gift, do you? Well, not a problem. Here is a great daftar of examples from last year.
If anda want to make a video, just see what these users did:
link is megloveskyle's Secret Santa from Kegel
link is Sweetmonkeytoes' Secret Santa from Kathiria82
link is Kegel's Secret Santa from myself
link is caintil31's SUPER Secret Santa from myself
link is sallywag's Secret Santa from leuron
If anda are lebih of an image kind of person, maybe anda should learn from what these users made:
link is hsm123's Secret Santa from Snerkie
link is dazl's Secret Santa from nonames
link is johnminh's Secret Santa from sweetmonkeytoes
link is PkmnTrainerJ's Secret Santa from dazl
link is Shandy's Secret Santa from johnminh
link is TheLostBrotha's Secret Santa from caintil31
link is iheartadam2's Secret Santa from PkmnTrainerJ
The lovely and amicable link was sweet enough to make me several icon last year. Take a look at a handful of them:
So are anda still at a loss for something to do? Are anda just no good with gambar atau videos? No fear: pretty much anyone can write. If not poetry, than a mock biography. If anda don't know them well enough for a biography, try having your user bintang in an adventurous short story. If anda feel that's too ambitious, a basic limerick atau haiku should suffice.
Basically, folks, the options are endless. The only limits are that of your imagination.
I also wanted to inform anda folks about your insurance plan. Yes, anda have an insurance plan. oleh signing your name on that list, anda are guaranteed a gift this year, if not from your assigned Secret Santa, than from the team of Secret Elves (to be assembled in January) who will pick up the slack of the failed Santas. The Secret Elves, a highly dedicated task force, will take anyone who did NOT receive a Secret Santa this tahun and build gifts for them. Secret Elves insurance gifts will be made and delivered in January, but better late than never! If anda are interested in being one of the Secret Elves, please message me privately.
So this is your Secret Santa Coordinator signing off, saying Merry natal to All and to All a Good Night.
PS: natal is the time for cinta and charity, so I urge anda to do good deeds this natal and tell all of fanpop about it on the link dinding of Humanitarians.
If you're too busy to actually volunteer, maybe you're lebih suited to participate in Fanpop's First Annual link. All anda have to do is change your icon to include a Human Rights theme, promoting peace and cinta this holiday season. Also, keep an eye out for daily Human Rights related quotes, facts, games and goodies over at the link spot.
