Also, please list 1) your wishlist for a piece of art (please see "Wishlist" below for formatting suggestions), 2) your wishlist for a fic (again, please see "Wishlist" section below for formatting suggestions), 3) who your favorite DCMK character is (list two at most), 4) what category your present will be (writing, drawing, other), and 5) if you can be a Secret Santa for two people in case of dropouts.Wishlist:Please include a character or a few characters you'd like to be incorporated into a story or drawing and a simple scenario or subject. Please try to keep drawings to only a few characters.
Writing Examples: "I wish for a story about Shinichi getting a special Christmas present from _____." "I wish for a story about Kaito and friends going on a winter trip somewhere."
Drawing Examples: "I wish for a drawing of Conan playing in the snow with _____." "I wish to see Kaito doing anything Christmas-like."Where do I post my present?Please post your present (no earlier than December 25th/Christmas) in a new thread here: poirotcafe.com/board/37/secret-santa-christmas-2015 on the Secret Santa Christmas 2015 subboard. (Yeah. I know it says 2015. Mikau still doesn't have the power to make new subboards, so we're just going to reuse this one again and overlook the "2015" part. ^.^ This can be found under Annoucements [sic] & Support, Secret Santa. Please title your thread as "SS 2017 [Present title] for [username of recipient]". You'll have until midnight on Sunday, December 31 (going into January 1) to get your present posted.
Guidelines:
-Writing presents should be at least 1,500 (ish) words, but the upper limit is up to the writer (Mine was somewhere in the ballpark of 18k last year, but you don't need to go that far. Whatever you're inspired to write.)
-Keep ratings K-T (Think suitable for about 14 years old.)
-No crossovers.
-NOTIFY ME BY SUNDAY DECEMBER 17 IF YOU ARE GOING TO DROP OUT SO THAT I CAN ASSIGN A SUBSTITUTE SO THAT NO ONE IS LEFT WITHOUT A PRESENT.
Please Keep Your Partner A Secret At All Costs And Don’t Post Before The Due Date!

1. (Art) Heiji and Shinichi being best buddies and/or playing some kind of board game (around Christmastime, of course, if that can be incorporated somehow).
2. (Fanfiction) A Christmas KID heist with at least one pair of characters who have not met in canon meeting.
3. (Character) Haibara Ai
4. (Gifting category) Writing or art, if my art can be traditional rather than digital.
5. (Covering for dropouts) Possibly as a last resort, if no-one else can.

Believe me, I'm so tempted to sign up, but as Christmas is a huge deal here in the Philippines, with celebrations going well into January, I'm not confident I can come up with a finished product on time. (It doesn't really help that when I write for others, my fics tend to turn out longer than I expect them to be.) I'll think about it, though! Also, forgive me for being a noob, but what exactly is the difference between working and submission periods?

Anyone else for Secret Santa? Still thinking about what I want. It's been one hell of a year. I need to think this through...

No problem. Working period is the writing phase. Submission period is when you turn the work in. You can start submitting at Christmas and have to have it in by New Year’s.

I have the same problem =( Crazy year, lots of work. I'm worried I'll end up as a dropout, but I do want to participate, specially because I didn't last year.
I'll think about it a bit more and say something tomorrow

Ok. I’m in.
1) I wish for a picture of Aoko gifting Kaito a stuffed fish for Christmas.
2) I wish for a story where Haibara has genetically engineered a miniature dragon… and she’s giving it to Ayumi (The dragon may or may not end up named cuddles.)
3) Shinichi and Kaito
4) Writing
5) No. I don’t write very quickly and I just don’t have the time at the moment to do two pieces.

I wasn't too confident if I can handle it this time. But know myself I would regret if I don't participate.
1) Art: Kaito and Saguru spend the Holyday together.
2) Fic: The Kid Capture Brigade attend/ or just Aoko gets Kaito to go with her to a charity ball on Christmas Eve.
3) Hakuba Saguru and Kuroba Kaito
4) Art
5) Sure.

Okay, I'll be joining too ^^
1) Kid being flirty/annoying with another character (you're free to choose which one! Even someone he hasn't officially met yet).
2) Same as 1 OR Aoko/Hakuba deciding what to buy Kaito for Christmas
3) Kaito/Kid
4) Art or writing (most likely art but we'll see once inspiration strikes)
5) No, sorry!

neonquincy1217 Mm... This is probably a dumb question but I don't really know what a blue Christmas is, or what you mean by it. Blue as in literal blue? Searching on the net I see it can also mean a sad or rainy. I'm guessing then that you want an emotional drawing?
