We should do a secret santa event!

[L4213]

heya guys! Lui here! and i was thinking, would any of you guys be interested if someone held a Secret santa event here in tapastic?

back then when i was in the Smackjeeves community, they used to annualy hold a secret santa event there which i would participate in. and since i don't frequent the site any more, i kinda miss it D:

so i propse we start our own secret santa event here too! what d'ya guys think?

whats a secret santa? for those who don't know what a secret santa is, its basically an event where you give a gift to someone you don't know, as well as getting a gift to somone you don't know! a win win situation, and since the lot of us are artists, we got our artworks to give around! its fun and you get to meet new people in the process!

so what do you guys think? i'd gladly join/make a secret santa event if enough people are interested?

[MylCreates]

i see why not try it out

[kurisquare]

I don't know if my schedule will allow me to join, but I'd love to see this happen!

[L4213]

it doesn't have to be all that elaborate! even a simple sketch is nice in my opinion, its always the thought that counts! giving gifts is the essence of secret santa's after all and everyone loves getting gifts!

i do hope a lot of people would take interest

[hannahvbel]

This sounds really awesome!

[UzukiCheverie]

I'd be for it, as long as we had someone to properly organize it and keep a running list of all the contributors and such ('m assuming that would be you, Lui, unless you were just suggesting it as an idea). Secret Santa's are fun but there's a lot to take care of > <

[UltHamBro]

I love the idea Count me in.

[talissacosta1]

I think it sounds pretty cool.

Would people make list of things they would like to get? Like "I like these comics n stuff"?

[kialankay]

This sounds like a great idea! I'm definitely willing to participate.

[PotooGryphon]

Count me in! This sounds like fun! And it doesn't have to be limited to comic creators, readers could join in too and offer up their best sketches too.

[XanderYoung]

I'd be interested in this. Sign me up!

i did host one in my own group last year so i have some experience with it, though, i haven't done it with a huge group of people (assuming a lot apply) so i may need an extra help or two :3 maybe i can ask the tapastic staff to lend a hand if they're interested!

@talissacosta1 yup thats usually the case! usually one person a requests for one thing and then its up to the secret santa to do what they can

and yay! it looks like a number of people are interested! i'll see to it that i get preparations made then!!

Well, we have the Tapastic Skype group as well so that's a large group right there who I'm sure would be willing to take part :3

[lego423]

I would absolutely love to join! Please count me in!

[oliviasstephen]

This sounds fun, I'm totally in!

[keii4ii]

Ooh! Will this be a "sketch your recipient's comic character" type of a SS? If that's the case, count me in!

If it's a more open-ended SS, what other kinds of gifts could one give while still making it personal/ thoughtful? (Just curious! I'm not too focused on what I get as long as I can feel the thought behind it. <3)

[BladeRabbit]

I'd love to be a part!

[taihendechu]

I agree to Uzuki I love that kind of stuff (I used to organize such an event for several years in a forum and it was fun! But like Uzuki said.. even a lot of work..). I would participate but I don't have time to help with the organization (sorry!! :<)

[lira]

Oh, I love Secret Santas, count me in!

[cyanste]

I'm 100% in for this.
