*Holiday Hullapalooza* Few days left!
mar, 11/24/2015 - 17:43
Season's greetings everyone, and welcome to Hex's Holiday Hullapalooza!
To celebrate the holiday season, I decided to host a festive event for everyone to enjoy.
Secret Santa
Have a recipe you've been eying? Maybe a certain accessory or costume to complete your perfect outfit? A mat that's alluded you for too long? Or perhaps you just want to join in on the spirit of giving and make new friends!
Whatever the reason, come join the Secret Santa gift exchange!
How does it work?
Each person will submit an application indicating their interest. You are given the option to elaborate on what gifts you would prefer. After a little over two weeks, applications will be closed, and I will randomly choose secret Santas, then privately message you who your recipient is.
You can then look for a gift as closely related to their interests as you can. I discourage just handing over some crowns, unless it is directly requested. You will then have until Christmas Day to secure the gift, whereby you will be free to deliver your gift! If you would like some extra security for your gift so someone doesn't just steal a gift and run without giving anything in return (and you trust me), gifts can be handed through me, and I will withhold them until the recipient has sent a gift, and return the gift to you if they do not.
Please utilize the following format to enter for the Secret Santa:
In-Game Name:
Interests:
Low Cost Items:
Medium Cost:
High Cost:
Explanation:
Your in-game name is the name of the character you wish to be contacted through and gift delivered to.
Interests can range from "battle sprite items" to "things that are yellow" to "weapons with a DPS over 10".
The next three are specific items that you would like, grouped by their relative cost.
You do not have to use the entire application!! If you'd rather only list off some items, or only an interest, go ahead.
I do encourage you to try and figure out what your recipient might want if they list only interests; think of it as a game!
RULES:
You MUST provide a gift for your recipient and this gift cannot be unreasonably low in value. In the case that someone does not receive a gift or it is insufficient (ex. 1 crown), and it was not caught through my security system, I will cover the gift myself.
If you do not send a gift and do not explain the reason by January 1, you will be disqualified from future events (should I ever do one again) and frowned upon by all.
Applications close Friday, December 11.
Art Trade
For all those aspiring or accomplished artists of all kinds and talent, join the Art Trade! No matter your skill level, everyone is welcome for this event. If you've ever wanted a visual manifestation of your imagination, or want to share your skill and get to know the artists in our community, sign up!
How does it work?
Much like the Secret Santa, everyone interested will submit an application showing interest. You will be able to describe what piece of art you want. After a little over a week, applications will close and you will be privately messaged of the person you are creating art for. You will have until Christmas Day to complete your art!
Please utilize the following format for the Art Trade:
In-Game Name:
Preferred Method:
Description:
Explanation:
Your in-game name is the name of the character you wish to be contacted through.
Preferred method for those who want art in a certain format. Digital, traditional, Spiral Spy, interpretive dance, etc.
Description should have as much detail into what you want as you can.
RULES:
You MUST produce a piece of art in return for the event. The produced art must have a high degree of effort spent on it. If anyone receives a iPhone picture of a stickman drawn in 4 seconds, it will be treated as if no art was submitted.
As with the Secret Santa, in the case that this rule is breached, or no art is received by January 1, the offender will be disqualified from future events, frowned upon, and have the art made up by me.
Applications close Friday, December 11.
Story Collaboration Game
CANCELLED.
All dates are subject to change, depending on participation and unforeseen events.
All questions regarding the event should be voiced sooner rather than later.
If you would like to be a backup Secret Santa/Art Trade artist, please alert me, and I would greatly appreciate it!

I love me some Christmas Spirit
This sounds fun! Sadly I can't access SK until mid-December due to educational demands and whatnot, but I'll do my best to deliver my part of the art trade! If it's possible, could I be contacted through Steam for my giftee/victim? That would be fantastic.
In-Game Name: Fighting-Polygon
Preferred Method: Anything that you're comfortable with! (though the interpretive dance would be rather hard to accomplish)
Description:
Me in my prismatic costume, or my cursed costume, or my white kat costume doing something casual (like sipping tea, reading a book) or something actiony-dramatic (slaying lowly clockwork monsters).
[Note: Reference pictures of my prismatic and cursed costume are outdated. Prismatic costume includes a prismatic node container and sapphire disciple wings, and the cursed costume includes floating sapphires]

Also, the Treasure Vault is the place for events, but you may just be right. I'll give it a shot and cross my fingers.

Attention to all participants that the deadline is coming up for having gifts prepared and art drawn!
I will be distributing the gifts handed through me on Christmas Eve, because I will not be able to do so on Christmas.

Wait, why not just let us hand our gift to our receiver directly?
ps. my drawing is done this morning

@Mid
You can! Go for it.
EDIT: Though I would extremely appreciate if anyone who has received their gift post to let me know they received something.

Wait, when do we send the gifts?

@Vana
Preferably Christmas, but since I won't be able to do so, I will distribute on Christmas Eve. (Technically you can do it whenever you want, but traditionally, haha.)

IT'S TIME!
You should all be receiving and giving your gifts this oncoming day! Once you have, please post so I know you've gotten something (and maybe thank your Secret Santa ;D).
(@Midnight-DJ Spoiler, I'm your secret Art Santa, but I got swamped with work and haven't managed to finish your art yet. I'll have it for you as soon as possible, my sincerest apologies! A bit ironic that you finished your early and I'm finishing yours late =P)

Wahoo!
Thanks to everyone for participating in this holiday event, and hopefully we can have an even better one next year!
I hope you all had and will have an awesome holiday, and I hoped I helped to make it little bit brighter. :D

And after 8 months, @Midnight. I finally had the time to get around to this that just kinda sat there, gathering digital dust. Of course, in any case, the wait is inexcusable, and per the rules I will not participate in this year's art exchange.

As with the Secret Santa, in the case that this rule is breached, or no art is received by January 1, the offender will be disqualified from future events, frowned upon,
