Hadriel Secret Santa 2018!

[tongueamok]

Greetings Hadrielites! It's December, and you know what that means! And if you don't, it means



How does this work? From now until December 10th, you sign up using this post! On the 11th, I'll send out your assignments, so make sure you check your e-mail! Or if you'd rather just be PMed, make note of that, and I'll send it that way instead. Once you know your giftee, you come back here, see who they play, maybe get some ideas for what kind of gift they might like, or come up with something on your own! Be as creative as you like!

Then, the magic happens on December 26thish, when the Santas make their deliveries to all the good alcoholics and walking disasters of Hadriel! Another post like this one will go up on that day, and you deliver to your giftee in a comment!

If you finish early, please hold onto your gift so they can all be delivered at the same time! However, if you're going to be out of town or on a trip, you can let me know in your sign-up, and I can post your gift of your behalf, or I can let your giftee know that their Santa didn't forget about them -- they'll just have to be patient until you get back! Alternatively, if you want to remain an anonymous Santa for *~extra mystery~*, I can post your gift and let them know you wished for your identity to remain a secret. :> If you need to do this, please PM me on grimmhooke or here on tongueamok!

But what if you sign up, and then you discover you just don't have time to finish? That's okay, too! If you think you are going to miss the deadline, please let me know! No giftee is going without a gift. Santa doesn't play that way, and makes sure there are pinch-hitters just in case of emergencies.

Gifts can be just about anything: fanart, fanfics, comics, poetry, sprites you made in MSPaint, an OST you put together just for their character, paid time, DW points, commissioned icons, extra icon slots, a macaroni picture featuring their character -- just get creative and have a blast with it! The only request is to try to make it Hadriel-centric in some way, but if you can't, it's okay! Having fun and making someone happy for the holidays is the priority. ♥

Want to participate? Here's the form:

<b><font color="c8515f">PLAYER NAME:</font></b> YOUR NAME <b><font color="c8515f">E-MAIL/JOURNAL TO PM:</font></b> SOMETHINGOROTHER@MURDERCAVE.EDU <b><font color="c8515f">CHARACTERS:</font></b> Who you play in-game! <b><font color="c8515f">GIFT YOU'D LIKE TO RECEIVE:</font></b> If you have a preference of what kind of gift you'd like (fanart, fanfic, etc.) put that here! <b><font color="c8515f">SPECIAL ELEMENTS:</font></b> Want a picture of your character canoodling with Love's amorphous cloud body? Or something sappy to go along with all the sappy threads you've been doing? Have a favorite thread you'd like them to take inspiration from? Santas aren't obligated to use those ideas, but it might help them get their creative juices flowing! <b><font color="c8515f">HARD NOS:</font></b> Things you'd prefer NOT to receive! Too much gore, too much fluff, anything over PG-13 rating, pairings that just aren't your thing even if they're the fandom darlings, etc. <b><font color="c8515f">FAMILIAR CANONS:</font></b> Please list some of the canons you're familiar with! It might not actually determine who you're assigned to, but I will try to get assignments to canon-familiar Santas if I can. If you need help thinking of some, check the Taken list for ideas on what canons we have represented in Hadriel. <b><font color="c8515f">ADOPTION:</font></b> Just a yes or a no for this one! If we have someone who can't get their gift in time, are you willing to pinch-hit? If not, no worries! I just know some folks might want to offer, so here's the space for that.

If you've got any questions or comments, feel free to ask them below in the Questions area. Happy Holidays, Hadriel!

PLAYER NAME: Grimme
E-MAIL/JOURNAL TO PM: grimmhooke[at]gmail[dot]com
CHARACTERS: Nick Valentine (synthedick), Carlisle Longinmouth (tongueamok)
GIFT YOU'D LIKE TO RECEIVE: No preference! Paid time to either of my characters, points, art, fic, macaroni pictures -- it's all good. :>
SPECIAL ELEMENTS: If you want to do something with Carlisle, he's in a relationship with glacius, so feel free to play with that! As for Nick, he has a family thing going with circumitus, a one-eyed radioactive monster cat, and is the current leader of the Guard. He's also robros with onlyanautomaton and has a real brother with offloaded now. None of those elements are necessary, but just some notes for inspiration!
HARD NOS: Please nothing super gory! Just not really into that sort of thing. Other than that, go bananas!

FAMILIAR CANONS: I'm at least passingly familiar with these.
Fallout
Game of Thrones
Killer Instinct
Mortal Kombat
Resident Evil
Silent Hill
Star Wars
Syberia
Uncharted
Undertale

[ana]

PLAYER NAME: Ana
E-MAIL/JOURNAL TO PM: ana
CHARACTERS: Pell (pellameno), Drake (braveoff), Wash (hardwearing), DiMA (offloaded)
GIFT YOU'D LIKE TO RECEIVE: Whatever you can do, points, art, fic, I'm more here to give than receive!
SPECIAL ELEMENTS: I am always a sap for my ships and found families, honestly. Currently that's Drake and Ephemera or Wash and Kyna, and Pell is super cute with his little adopted family (George, Jo, Peter, Julie). I never expect anyone to be able to write or draw for mine, let alone robros (DiMA and Nick), but if someone feels inspired!
HARD NOS: I honestly can't think of anything.

Brooklyn 99
Castlevania
Dangan Ronpa
Dead Like Me
Detroit: Become Human
Fallout

[abyssalarcana]

PLAYER NAME: Lauren
E-MAIL/JOURNAL TO PM: PM here is fine!
CHARACTERS: Caedra abyssalarcana
GIFT YOU'D LIKE TO RECEIVE: No real preference, whatever people are willing to give is fine! I would really treasure fic or art but I don't want anyone to feel excluded.
SPECIAL ELEMENTS: Well ice sculpture Caedra is pretty festive isn't it! Also for other ideas, she's closest with Law (hot_mes) and the highlight of her being stuck in Hadriel so far was their seafaring adventure to find Door fragments.
HARD NOS: Nothing I can think of that applies here!

FAMILIAR CANONS: (the familiarity might be very vague for some of these!)

Fallout
Game of Thrones
Mass Effect
One Piece
Red vs Blue

ADOPTION: Sadly I'm not likely to have the time this month!

[circumitus]

PLAYER NAME: Revu
E-MAIL/JOURNAL TO PM: thisfffire
CHARACTERS: Rey (circumitus) and Ravine (whip_poor_will)
GIFT YOU'D LIKE TO RECEIVE: I would be grateful to literally anything. I hold any art or fic near and dear to my little heart, but playlists or points/paid time is fine as well!
SPECIAL ELEMENTS: Rey totally canoodling with Love's amorphous cloud body I mean, noooo don't do that (or do, except Rey absolutely despises Love). Anything with either of my ladies would be great, including any CR for Rey or Ravine - more notably Rey + her dadbot (synthedick) or Ravine + her BC bro (puzzlingly). I would also love to see anything with or of our wonderful Tripod the cyclopean alien cat. I'm a sucker for anything snow/holiday themed which Icy Planet is perfect for. c:
HARD NOS: I'm pretty much okay with anything. Anything.

FAMILIAR CANONS: Fallout
Silent Hill
Mass Effect
Undertale
Angels of Death
Detroit: Become Human

[nonscriptum]

PLAYER NAME: Alex
E-MAIL/JOURNAL TO PM: aceattorneyatlol[at]gmail[dot]com
CHARACTERS: Nathan Drake nonscriptum
GIFT YOU'D LIKE TO RECEIVE: No preference! I am a fan of art but I will just as happily accept anything else!
SPECIAL ELEMENTS: You're not at all obligated to use any Hadriel-related stuff, but if want to, Nate's closest friends are probably Lance Sweets and Taako Taaco. He also has close cr with (obviously) his wife, Elena Fisher, and local gumshoe Nick Valentine. (Also I love sibling stuff, so anything with Sam Drake, Nate's older brother, would be rad too!)
HARD NOS: None!

FAMILIAR CANONS: I'm familiar with just about everything we have listed, but with the rarer canons I'm not opposed to doing a little research on them first, so don't worry about assignment.

ADOPTION: I won't have time this month. :(

[dedikated]

PLAYER NAME: nico
E-MAIL/JOURNAL TO PM: spoinkings [at] gmail [dot] com
CHARACTERS: Kate Galloway [ dedikated ]
GIFT YOU'D LIKE TO RECEIVE: I honestly don't! All presents are awesome :>
SPECIAL ELEMENTS: Like everyone, I am a sucker for anything involving my CR (no that still isn't finished weeps) if anyone wanted to incorporate that. But no, really, go crazy.
HARD NOS: Not really feeling the hard gore for this festive season.

FAMILIAR CANONS: izombie, ffxv, until dawn, da:i, b99, thg, p5, bones, the raven cycle (ehhh somewhat i've only read book 1 really), spn (up to s3). + overwatch, food fantasy, until dawn, elementary, person of interest.

ADOPTION: No, sorry!

[soldier_blade]

PLAYER NAME: Robin
E-MAIL/JOURNAL TO PM: Rschwartz84@gmail.com
CHARACTERS: Sonya Blade
GIFT YOU'D LIKE TO RECEIVE: I'd love paid time, but fan art or crossover drabble fics are good too
SPECIAL ELEMENTS: I wouldn't call them special, but Sonya has some ongoing CR between Sansa, Margery and Daenerys (Game of Thrones) as well as Ivar and Floki (Vikings)
HARD NOS: Not that I can think of

FAMILIAR CANONS:

[mttbrandlegs]

PLAYER NAME: Kitten
E-MAIL/JOURNAL TO PM: PM this journal, mttbrandlegs
CHARACTERS: Mettaton and Jade Curtiss
GIFT YOU'D LIKE TO RECEIVE: No prefs, points or whatever. :) Be creative if you like!
SPECIAL ELEMENTS: Honestly if anything at all, I'm the kind of person who enjoys stuff like character art in general, but anything with Mettaton and Alphys being nerdfriends would be a plus, and there's a ref of Metta on his IC Inbox + here kinda. Also Jade being decidedly warm and obnoxious in the winter weather because he grew up in snow hell and finds the predicament hilarious.
HARD NOS: Nah, man. Whatever.

FAMILIAR CANONS: Undertale, Tales of the Abyss, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, My Little Pony, MCU stuff, Kingdom Hearts, Bleach, Steven Universe, Night in the Woods

ADOPTION: Tentative yes. It depends on whether my computer gets to me on time.

[writtendestiny]

PLAYER NAME: Fiona
E-MAIL/JOURNAL TO PM: waytoomanytags[at]gmail.com
CHARACTERS: Ignis Scientia, Julie Grigio, Poison, Mogget
GIFT YOU'D LIKE TO RECEIVE: I have no preference I will love anything I get.
SPECIAL ELEMENTS: I'm a sucker for anything involving my CR, especially my ships, which at the moment comprise of Ignis/Kate and tentatively Julie making small, ill-advised dokis at Tyki Mikk. I love the fluff and the cute things. All my characters have (mostly) up to date CR charts.

HARD NOS: Nerp.

FAMILIAR CANONS: Comfortably familiar with My Little Pony, Uncharted, Fallout, Steven Universe, Warm Bodies, The Old Kingdom, The Witcher, Mass Effect, FFXV, Dragon Age, and tentatively Transformers by general osmosis. I can usually turn my hand to most things.

ADOPTION: Sure, no probs.

CHARACTERS: Ianchus (vocarrah)
GIFT YOU'D LIKE TO RECEIVE: Anything tbh! I like art, but legit, anything at all!
SPECIAL ELEMENTS: He's adoptive bros with Yusuke who he adores to pieces. Also amorphous cloud cuddling. I guess his big highlights are boozing and schmoozing at the Speakeasy, being fabulous, and his fantastic evisceration?
HARD NOS: Nothing tbh lmao go wild
FAMILIAR CANONS:
One Piece, Persona 5, Pacific Rim, uhhhhhhh

ADOPTION: Sorry, I can't!
