    Default Secret Santas!

    Yeah, that's right! It's time to revive an old Fanfic tradition... we're ready for the Secret Santas!

    Here's how it all works. Just post in this thread by December 10 if you want to participate. I'll randomly PM you another member's name, and it'll be your job to be his or her Secret Santa!

    So what do you do as a Secret Santa? Basically, you just write a short fic for him or her as a present. Click here and here for past examples. It's pretty easy, but very fun.

    So, do you want to take part? Then sign up today!

    Uhm sure, I'll bite. I need to do something to motivate myself to write, anyways.

    Of course not. Because that'd suck really, really hard. Unfortunately, even though you didn't think about it, this guy did.

    I'm in. It may be my first completed fanfic and the second fanfic I've ever started, heh. If we don't count poems, of course, this may be a poem too.

    So, once again, I hate to be annoying, but its the 11th now. You can't tell me that it's still the 9th somewhere in the world. Can we start?

    I was including the 10th itself as a permissible day for registration... and it is still the 10th in a few places in the world.

    ...That, and I'm slightly busy (and lazy) at the moment. Give me, oh, 19 hours or so. *smirks*

    Ada: Well, there are perks both ways, whether you're getting a present early or anticipating it for a few weeks. I'm sure your recipient will understand. ^^


    Tara: Hey, no problem! It's just part of the fun of being a Fanfic mod, as you should know. I love stuff like this.

    *laughs* Thanks, Louis! That was cool. ^_^

    Really, though, it's no problem. Like I said, this is the sort of thing I love to do anyway. Since Ada and Gavin volunteered to run the Golden Pens, I decided to lend my modliness to our other pending project. *smirks*
