Delibird UPN Secret Santa Funtastic Extravaganza 2011

HEY, KIDS!

Oh god no, it's Hana. She's probably here to tell us to vote Pinaclsaur or something.
Relax, relax. I'm not gonna tell you to vote Pinaclsaur, at least not for a while. Today I'm here to tell you about UPN's Secret Santa Program!

Oh goody, more of UPN shoving Christmas down my throat.
Oh come on, at least this time you get to tell us what to draw.

I want [insert artist here] to draw my picture! Please please pretty please~
Maybe, maybe not. It's all picked at random from whoever volunteers. And that's assuming whoever you want even volunteers.

Oh boy, more of a tiny pool of fanartists drawing things for people. When are us writers going to get to do more than diddly-squat?
That's the best part! It's for writers, too!

But I suck! Nobody would want a gift from me...
While I'm hardly one to tell anyone how to operate, I encourage anyone who's genuinely interested in this and has some time to kill to volunteer, regardless of whether they think, "Oh, I don't measure up to X, I shouldn't be doing this." I'd love to see some people who don't post art or written pieces as often raise their proverbial hand for this, but don't do it for me--do it because you want to. :O

That's nice and all, but how does this work?
The process will be as follows:

-Anybody can volunteer to be an artist or writer for the event. Hell, you can even do both, if you're so inclined. Just take note that, depending on the volume of requests we receive, you may have to do multiple pieces.
-Anybody can submit an idea for a piece of fanart or a fanfic. Yes, even the volunteers. When we get to this point, I'll ask for people to PM the ideas to me. My only rules are to keep it very simple, Pokemon-related, and at least semi-appropriate content-wise. PG-13, I'd say. Oh yeah, and one per category.
-After this, the volunteers will be given a random idea (or multiple ideas, depending on how many are submitted). It'll be their job to carry it out. They don't have to be hugely intricate finished pieces (though they certainly can be!) but do put your best efforts into it.
-On Christmas day, all the finished pieces will be posted in another thread.

Any comments, suggestions, and volunteering would be welcome!

I can do some basic drawings, so long as they're simple. But just one or two at the most, probably

Huzzah! It's nice to see so many volunteers already. I added a volunteer list to the first post. Additionally, if anyone's worried about time constraints and would like to limit themselves to one or two pieces like Kairne indicated, feel free to do so. I'll probably leave volunteering open for a couple of days and open up the idea submission stuff at some point this week. Ideally, I'd like to give everyone at least a week to get their stuff done.

I'm in for writing, with completely the opposite hopes to Dave. I would like to restrict myself to one or two pieces though because this time of year is gunna be quite hectic and I'm already working on my own SUPAH SECRET christmas story. How long will it be until we can submit ideas, and until we start doing it? It's less than two weeks to christmas already and I'm kinda a slow write >.<

>'Cept

My original plan was to get idea submissions open by Wednesday and close them by Sunday, giving everyone roughly a week to do their pieces, but I see no reason why I couldn't open them now and keep both this and volunteer sign-ups open up until Friday night, which is when I'd send the prompts to the volunteers. Would give us all a couple more days.

So, if you have an idea, PM that stuff to me! Don't post it here, keep it secret. :O Remember, you can submit one idea each for both fanart and fanfic, though you don't have to do that for both. Remember to keep it simple and Pokemon related! And semi-worksafe. And yes, you can submit an idea if you've already volunteered.

Writing. I'd like to draw but it's hard for me to draw things if I don't care about it.

No promises on meeting deadlines. Or that anything will be good looking.

Volunteering drawing.

Although I'll be away from the 16th to the 23rd. Might be able to check requests and sketch a few things while I'm in Taiwan, but definitely no scanning/lining.

I can draw cute but artistically poor using MS Paint and write actually fairly well but with minimal inspiration.

So sign me up for both then. I love the idea.

Edit: Perhaps I should mention I used to write quite a bit of fanfic...including a fair bit of slash (Insert noises of Jeri passing out with glee here).

I'm going to volunteer as a writer. I'll have nothing better to do over the hollidays (surgery on the 23rd) and this will give me motivation to write my fanfic too!

I have a sneaking suspicion we're going to have more writers than ideas.
