:star:Welcome to the official Anthro Community Secret Santa Event!:star:

Entry forms are due by November 20th, so be sure to get them in!
Gifts are due by December 26th!

:bulletgreen: Entry Form!
Fill out this form and send it via note to little-owlette!
Username:
Willing to receive real life gifts? (y/n)
Reference sheets for art-related gifts:
Favorite colors, interests, etc:
Anything else you'd like to say to your Secret Santa?

:bulletgreen: What is this all about?
By filling out the above form and sending it to little-owlette, you will be entered in a drawing.  Each entrant will be assigned to someone else -- so the wishlist you send will be shared with another random participant who will find or make a gift for you.  In turn, you will also be assigned a random participant, and must find or make a gift for them!  It's that simple!

:bulletgreen: I want to send or receive real life gifts (i.e. gifts through the mail)!
If you would like to send a real life gift to your Secret Santa partner and they have indicated that they are willing to accept gifts of that nature, please let little-owlette know, so she can fetch the shipping information for you.  If you would like to receive real life gifts, be aware that this means you will need to share your shipping information with your Secret Santa and little-owlette!  

:bulletgreen: What if I can't finish my gift in time?
Send little-owlette a note as soon as possible explaining the situation!  If you have a truly viable reason for being unable to complete your gift, arrangements will be made to the best of our ability to supply your Secret Santa partner with a suitable gift.  If, however, it is discovered that you are just hoping to score some free gifts without putting in any effort in return, there may be consequences.  Be kind.  If you know for certain that you cannot find or complete a gift by the given deadline, please do not sign up.

:bulletgreen: I can't draw, and I have no money to spend...
Have no fear!  There are lots of ways to show love for your fellow deviants this holiday season!  You can write a short story or series of poems based on their character, dedicate a series of journals to the wonders of your Secret Santa partner, put together a collection of recipes, etc!  The sky is the limit, and there are plenty of things you can do even if you cannot draw and have no money.   If all else fails, feel free to note little-owlette for some ideas, she is always willing to help!

Remember!  Entry forms are due by November 20th!
The chat event lasted from 7pm to midnight, 5 hours, and was AMAZING! We capped out at nearly 50 users and had tons of fun. It was great to see a bunch of new faces in the room and I hope to see a bunch of you return for regular chatting. I hope well be able to have another awesome event like this soon. Check out the IaAMod gallery for some of the artwork created during tonight's event.

Watch IaAMod to be the first to know about an upcoming chat event. Keep in mind, a lot of chat events "just happen" and you won't know about them if you're not in the room when they start, so come chat with us often. We don't bite... much...
