A Christmas celebration first organized by Smik in which various quest characters participate in a Secret Santa gift exchange. Since then it has been managed by Sarcopholacooda to continue the tradition.
Rules
What do you do when Secret Santa comes around? You can participate in many ways:
For Quest Authors/Signing-Up
|
|
For the authors, all you would need is to declare which of your quest characters will partake in the gift exchange. Include their name and a link to the quest or wiki page. A picture is helpful as well. If posting multiple characters, you must state whether they’re a GROUP or INDIVIDUALS. Once we reach an appointed date, everyone will be randomly assigned their partner.
Once a match is made it is your job to write and illustrate what your character would give to their special someone! Perhaps something from their world. Or something personal! Maybe a backscratcher! A mannequin’s head! Perhaps a box of old VHS tapes!
No one is obligated to have their character respond to a gift received. But the process of your character finding/deciding their partner’s gift is expected. It can be done in one picture, five, ten, animated; doesn’t matter as long as you don’t tire yourselves out! Posting before or after Christmas is no problem either! You have until Christmas in the month of July!
Any character unfortunate to not receive their gift will be compensated by the following Christmas in July! Sometimes artists need extra time after Christmas and New Years.

For Suggestors
|
|
Suggestors may also participate and gift any quest character! Post your idea for a present and who will receive it!
Disclamer: it will be up to the author to illustrate their characters accepting the gift. It’s a busy holiday, so they may not have time to respond.

Hangouts of Christmas Past
Since 2021, you can still hang out in a themed location! Even if it’s not related to gift-giving or whether you’re not participating in the secret santa, anyone can post a festive image and have characters mingle! Here are some shots from previous hangouts!
