The VG Resource

Heeeey VGR!

I'm here to bring some Christmas Spirit™ into the lands! That's right - it's Secret Santa Time!

Certainly most of you know what it is all about, but for those of you who're new to it and those who share my bad memory (Bill Gates was wrong when he said that 640k were enough for everyone), I'll explain the deal!
For Secret Santa, every participant will have to make a gift for another participant (sounds familiar, right). Those gifts can range from sprites over drawings to music and animations, they could even be a story, poem or game - anything goes that'll make the receiver happy! (Keep it save for work though - the forum rules apply, haha)

Here's the schedule!

Signup phase (until 6th December):
Post in this thread that you'd like to join the fun and want to make a christmas present for a fellow VGRian! You can also post a list of your interests as a hint so whoever gets to make you a present knows what you'd like! That could be your favourite video games, movies, books, food - anything that could help your Santa!
By signing up for Secret Santa, you make a promise to create a present - don't break that promise!

Manufactoring process (7th to 22nd December):
Once sign-ups are over, every participant will receive a PM telling them who they have to make a gift for. You've got two weeks to create something and send it to Chief Santa Previous so he can deliver them on Christmas! So check your recipient's list of hints and interests and come up with something cool to make them happy. It doesn't have to be big and fancy, but it shouldn't be nothing either - put some effort into it!
Don't forget to send in your gift in time!

Jolly Joy Day (~24th December (Christmas Eve)):
Presents will be handed out on Christmas! Don't miss the fun or you might, uh, miss something!

Don't forget, it's all about fun! Let us all have a great Christmas this year, alright?

This is just a list I made off the top of my head of my current immediate interests. It's mainly if you need some ideas for what to make, by no means does it have to be related to anything I listed

Can't wait for this to get started!

I have a hard time coming up with lists like these because my interests become so diverse. This should give whoever a good starting point at least.

I've seen this event happen from time to time, so I might give it a shot.

I'm not sure if I'm ready to reveal what I would like to receive, but I'm always up for completing other people's requests for fun.

EDIT: Okay then! I may as well tell you what I would like.

For my big gift, I would like it if you guys did a sprite sheet of Anju (of the Zelda games) in the style of Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3. I have a few… Interesting pose requests I would like on the sheet, so I think I would like to discuss them in a PM or something to avoid anything awkward.

Of course, feel free to use my character, E-Man, for something I might find appealing. Please don't go overboard and/or stray too much from the character, okay?
