Welcome to the Almost Secret Santa forum!
This specific thread goes over what's already been posted on FP.
- How Does an "Almost" Secret Santa Work?
The Almost Secret Santa runs differently from the traditional random pairing-get and give art.
In this version, you create a wish list on a forum, listing your characters and what you want. Anyone can see your list and anyone can get or give art to any other player, there are no pairings here. It also runs longer than most regular Secret Santas. It runs for a full month to allow people plenty of time to give a gift or two since many are busy on the holiday season.
- Who can participate?
Anyone can participate. There are no restrictions.
- I don't think my art isn't good enough, can I/should I still try?
Please join the fun! Its all about the thought, that's what counts. And by drawing more and more gifts for people, you can improve your work. If you really are that uncomfortable, there's nothing wrong with buying gifts from other artists as many allow anonymous purchases around the Christmas season.
- What can I ask for?
You can ask for anything! Characters, revamps, tags, large art, layouts, anything you can think of.
Try not to be too specific as this will make it harder for people to gift you things. For example, saying you only want art from the popular artist Sir-Gangnam-TwilightPony-Fuzzyslippers would limit you as not everyone may be able to afford to gift you art from Sir-Gangnam-TwilightPony-Fuzzyslippers (who obviously isn't a real person, but you get the idea). So while mentioning artists you like is not bad, don't say you only want art from just one person.
- What can I give?
Whatever you can make. Layouts, manips, sketches, bases, tags, lines, characters, revamps, even FPP or FPD has been traded in the past and is fine to give. Buying art as gifts is also fine. Traditional and digital art are both fine. Free lines are okay. Whatever you can do, you can give.
- What if I'm not allowed to sign up?
If you're a minor whose parents don't want you to sign up on this forum then please message me and I will help you still be able to participate.
Send me your wishlist and character site and I will make a post here for you.
You will have the ability to still view threads without an account, so you can still see peoples' wishlists and make them art, and you can still see what people make for you (but I will still message you the gifts you receive just to make sure you don't miss them!)
I can post gifts on your behalf as well.
