Secret Santa with a Twist 2!!!! (New Updates!)
14 years ago
General
Well I'm surprised that in an early start to this but if you can please help fill up more and more people and for those of you that want to know the gist of this, this is multiple things all in one but say you want to join in.
10 people join
9 mini gifts you create/buy with 9 cards sent out, 9 watchers and your Secret Santa person gets another Unique Card and another gift, one that's larger/special. Of course you would have to do the same. SO the more people join, the more gifts one receives.
If you want to only be on a card list, everyone on the SSlist and Card Sender only list will send/receive cards from you.
And if you just want to spread the joy and not get anything, join the Audible list.....
Now back to the rules and the such!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2nd Annual Secret Santa with a twist hosted by yours truly, Azu Gabu
*Softly arfs and waves my tail* Well its that time again and its about time to get the ball started earlier then I did last year but before I begin. This is my reasoning in doing this and hopefully I can "EVERY" year from now on.
Most people like myself have little to no capital because of economy and being screwed. A little holiday joy to those that need a smile or a bunch of smiles some love during a rather cold season in both mind and heart. Warmth like this is what we as furries/scalies/otherkin/humans make the world go round.
For those who joined last year. Thanks. we had about 28 Participants and about 8 Audibles (all that will be explained below).
Rules and Explanations:
1) Be sure that if you join this that you plan on doing this. I know that life can have its unexpected bumps in the road but If you are in, plan on being in. ok?
2) All the people that enter no matter if they are on the "All In" Secret Santa & Card List with mini gifts 2011, Sender Card Only, Audibles must have an FA ( a DA watch would be great for all as well) and watch one another. This way you can spread the love all year around.
3) Everyone that joins the SSCL-2011 that isn't an Audible, gets one card from you and a small gift.
Example 28 people join (including yourself) you send out 27 cards and with that 27 mini gifts for those 27, 27 new watchers (if they aren't one yet) and 1
4) Along with #3 you get one Secret Santa Recipient. Meaning that I'll secretly through a randomize (names in a hat as well lol) each person that joins the SSCL-2011 will get one person to send 1 Different/Large Gift and 1 Different Card to their Secret Santa person. That means you send your Secret Santa person 2 gifts, one that you shared with the list and one special/large/unique gift and 2 cards.
5) Card Sender Only: Only sends/receives cards from only those on the list. No small gifts and no Secret Santa person.
6) Audibles: Those that just wish to spread the joy for the sake of making something at random for anyone on the list may become this. As an audible, if you volunteer you give a gift to a person I select at random but don't get a gift or a card in return.
7) Digital Gifts/Cards CAN be sent out but must be personalized for each person who joins and has a later Deadline. (See Deadlines.) [Note: that if you create something digitally if you can send a hard copy/print or laminated thing for your gifts/cards that will be great. So that way they get it to them via mail and a digital copy.]
8) I'll send updates via Emails to each one that's apart of the list regardless of what they are doing, so that way you can keep tabs on whats going on. I hope with no snags this year!~
9) Gifts can be bought or created but please take pictures/scan if you can so that if something happens you can send backups.
10) Make sure you wrap the packages with tape and that all sides are sealed to prevent tampering of any kind.
This way everyone gets something (besides Audibles who get our thanks <3 and lurves) Which if you are apart of the SSCL-2011 with my Digi Twist you give one card and mini gift to everyone on the list, you also send another special card and special gift to your Secret Santa Recipient.
So 10 join, you have 9 new watchers, 9 cards and 9 mini gifts, and 1 secret Santa card & 1 secret Santa special large gift.
If you would like to be apart of this in anyway even spread the news, SPLENDID *waggles*. just make a journal or IM messages to your friends on DA/FA and the like.
For those who want to join please respond to the journal with the following Information:

Thanks for what you will do and what you can. Now for the most important part of this all, the deadlines. Since I'm starting this early this will change things I hope.
Starting today November 17th til November 28th: All Entries must be given to me at the end of December 1st to be included in the Secret Santa Card & Gift list with a twist.
November 29th : Secret Santa People selected.
November 30th : If something happens, last day to pull out of the SSCL-2011.
December 1st - December 12th : Complete/Purchase gifts and cards for your portion of the SSCL-2011 Card and Gift List with a twist.
December 13th - December 14th : Send out your gifts mail items giving you 6-7 Business days to get your gifts out there. By this date the latest (This includes Card Sender Only and Audibles)
December 22nd : Last day for Digital Gifts and Digital Cards (The cards must be unique and sent this way must be sent on the 22nd the 23rd the latest...LATEST...).
Note that if you can't be apart of this after initial date of entry, please PLEASE...Tell me so by the November 30th the latest.
Gifts can be something you create or something bought and the more unique you make your gifts and cards can make the gift even closer to heart. I still cherish every card I have <3. And will be hanging up this year to show that this worked.
To sum it all up this is a Gift List and Card list combined with the traditional Secret Santa and Secret Santa card. Meaning if you do join the SSCL normally, then you make a card and mini gift to all that sign up (besides card only and audibles) and watch all participants no matter what they are doing, and a special Card and Special Large gift for your Secret Santa person. So many ways you get the love spread.
"All In!" Secret Santa & Card/Gift List (SSCL-2011) is in its second year, so things may not go according to any plan but with your help this can be awesomes.
Any questions please feel free to ask me on my YIM or any IM just let me know who you are Email me if you wish at the following: handleslikemagic[at]yahoo.com
Murry Purry Tidings and Super Special Snuggles to all. May your Holiday be filled with joy, love and family. Remember your friends are family too. <3

Character Descriptions and References:
Lord General Altira Anara Moongara, Captain of the IKS Anubis
Species-Catrian (Pantera catra)
Gender-Female
Color-Black on black tiger pattern
Height-5'10''
Hair-dark brown with steel grey starting to show
Age-25+ 200 because of wierd events
Rank-Supreme Commander of the Catrokatrian Fleet
Background- The Catrian are a member species of a highly militarize, pagan, inner-stellar empire so just about
everyone has to serve in the military or in a trade convoy. Moongara is the highest ranking member of the imperial
military because she helped to found the Catro-Katrarian Empire. There are five main races in the Empire, all
descended from the race known as the Kiren'val.
Physical Description-Catrian look like most canine type anthro beings, though with no specific dog breed as a model. Moongara is about 5'10" tall, a full 6 feet when in full uniform. Catrian in general don't have the large chests common in humans. Because she is directly descended from a Devil Lord, she wears a pair of small devil horns a rather plain headband with a cobalt blue stone
in the middle over her forehead. She wears a small metallic mask on her muzzle, it aids in breathing so it has
small vent slits and is very ornately engraved with special protection signs. She wears a black leather vest over a
dark blue shirt and leather pants, worn in places from a life spent in the saddle and an ancient Egyptian enamel
color. The vest is ornamented in several places with silver marking. The most particular ornaments are a set of five
silvers stars across the shoulders. The other major ornament is silver trim around the base and arm holes of the
vest. She wears three rings, two on her right hand and one on the left. A wolf pack ring on the middle right hand (Membership in the Blackwolf), a
dragon ring on the right ring finger (dragon summoner) and a plain silver band ("taken") on the left ring finger. Her belt is black leather like the rest of her uniform with silver trim, with a very nondescript belt buckle. She wields a very traditional looking katana, with a blue and silver
sheath. This is belted on one side, a crossbow hangs on the other. She wears Western style (read pointy toe) black riding boots with silver spurs that have a single curved claw instead of rowels, for use on enemies not her horse.
She wears a charcoal gray cloak that ripples like
shadow.
Her tail has a scythe blade of a bone/steel amalagum on it.

"Kitty" form- half tiger, half dragon form. It looks a little more like a panther or jaguar in terms of build (longer spine) with Smilidon fangs, draconic horns and armor plate running down the back to a scythe blade tail. The armor plate is dragon scale back ridge and its red copper colored.
