(Yeah. I know it says 2015. Mikau doesn't have the power to make new subboards, so we're just going to reuse this one and overlook the "2015" part. ^.^ This can be found under Annoucements [sic] & Support, Secret Santa.

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 15k 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 18 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!

Oh! I was wondering if we were going to the secret Santa event this year, seeing as I wasn't a member last year! This will certainly be fun, have to figure out what to wish for first then

Huh… This might help with the block, actually…
1) your wishlist for a piece of art: >I wish for a picture of Conan with a voice-changing moustache instead of a voice-changing bowtie, and whatever reaction that inspires in Ran.
2) your wishlist for a fic: >I wish for a story of Sonoko and Conan finding common ground.
3) who your favorite DCMK character is: >Heijis are good.
4) what category your present will be: >Writing and drawing both will be interesting. Can also try doing some sprite-art. 150x150 scale-ish? As an experiment?
5) if you can be a Secret Santa for two people in case of dropouts. >I don't know, but I could try.

doublexxcross, regarding your art request, all requests have to be DCMK, if you could revise that, please.

It was a DCMK request, but poorly worded. Give me a second.

doublexxcross, if I understand your reworded request, that's still a crossover request. Please request something PURELY DCMK. We don't do crossovers for forum events.

Hm, I think I'd like to participate, but being honest have no idea what I'd want to have as a wishlist. On the fanart side, could it be something like cover-art for a fic?

sgamer82, I'd say that asking for cover art for a fic, oddly enough, falls into the "crossover" category because it requires specific knowledge of something beyond the normal scope of the DCMK universe. Someone would have to have actually read your fic in order to fulfill that request. Logistically speaking, I think you would be better off asking for a few specific characters in a specific scenario. If I were to be your secret Santa (and were able to draw as well as write), I'd be far more likely to pic the fic option because of the extra time and effort making cover art would entail. I think others might think the same way, so you would be unlikely to get cover art even if you asked for it. If I were you, I'd just list a few characters and a general idea of a scene you have in mind and ask for it in "cover art style" or something.

Mikau, while I would love to stick something in this year, I'm going to abstain because I seriously HAVE NOT forgotten about yours from last year. I'll get it done this year instead of participating this time around. I am so sorry it's going to take/has taken me a full year to get this to you! T.T

Yay, Secret Santa! I'm so in!
1) Platonic Kid and Conan OR something cracky featuring the BO.
2) Someone is a Scrooge (i.e. Killjoy) when it comes to Christmas. The person/people around said Scrooge decide to fix this.
3) Rei/Amuro and Kaito, but I'm really not fussed.
4) Probably writing, since I often get lazy when it comes to drawing.
5) Yes.

Signs in for the first time in months solely for this lovely tradition :')
For my wishlist, it's interchangeable, if you want to draw the fic prompt or write the art prompt, you're free to do so!
1) I'm really into Yuri on Ice right now, so something with Kaito and ice skating would be lovely. (Vice versa for a fic)
2) Something with Spider and Kid(as Kaito), I don't mind it being fluff but angst is my favorite...(Vice versa for art)
3) Kuroba Kaito and Amuro!
4) I can do both writing and drawing!
5) Sorry, one is good ^^'

Kk! Long time no see! Welcome back ^^
Mm... as much as I'd love to participate again I'll have to decline this time. I'll be working on Christmas and what little time I'll have free I'll probably be spending it with family and friends or other stuff so I don't think I'll have any time for this...
If I change my mind I'll let you know but for now it's a no. Sorry!
