It's all finished! If for some reason you didn't get an assignment or something has an error, e-mail us!
Now you can discuss making cards and planning gifts! But remember, don't turn this into a meet-up.
If you want to contact someone you're sending to, let us know so we can approve it through our end.

Good work SantaLoli! Can I have you as my Christmas present this year? Or maybe you can have me as yours?

I was thinking this may happen. Thank you for running it for so long, and making /a/ all the more festive.

Thanks for doing this for so long man, I can't imagine the amount of sheer work it takes and the stress it puts you under.

I feel bad for missing the deadline, but at least I know that I helped reduce your stress level even a tiny bit.

Thanks for organizing this for the last several years. This is the first year I've been able to participate, but I'm very excited to do so.
Good luck in your future endeavors, Santafaggot!

Do you have a PO box, Santafaggot? I want to send you a card and some cookies.

I hope that's me. There was another anon last year with the same initials and state.

>wanted to participate this year but missed sign up on previous week
Welp, why I am always this slow.
There's too many of you guys to reply to directly, so I'll just say, thanks for all the support. You guys are the reason I go through this every year.
>>149413281
If you're asking about your giftee (can I get X info from Y anon, please clarify Z address, etc) I'll get to it tomorrow.
If you didn't get an email, send another email.
>>149413320
Not yet. I wanted to wait until after I got the assignments out. I'll probably swing by the post office tomorrow.
Anyway guys, I've been up since 6AM today, so I have to go to bed. Have a good night, everyone.

Oh, well, I sent it a few days ago, but I'll ask again if there's no response tomorrow or so.
>>149413038
So long faggot and thanks for all the hard work.
>>149413947
They were probably busy sending out assignments. I don't think they reply until they get a response from your anons if they get any.
HeySTfromNYdo you have any Maki figures already?I tried emailing the /ss/ people to ask outside of /a/ but I haven't heard, so why the fuck not.
>tfw you get someone who you gave a card to last year
What a coincidence.
>>149413947
Sending out all the assignments was their first priority. So things like clarifications and asking for more info are put on hold until all assignments are send out.
>>149414067
not that anon but
>>149412991
>>149414258
What are you pointing out? Yes assignments are done now, but I was telling them why they email was being ignored.
>>149413038
God bless you, you glorious faggot. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the chance to spread love and cheer to fellow anons these last 4 years and I wish you the best in everything you do.
> Somewhat big item followed by smaller stuff (ie straps/mug/clear files, still working it out) and sweets
Not much room to work with considering I took a lower bracket but how does it sound?
Are card assignments mutual? As in, if I got someone on my list, did they get me too? Someone in my list lives 10 minutes away from me.
>>149414288
Oh, I thought you meant he should wait to ask until assignments are sent out. my bad.
>>149413038
how hard is it to run /ss/ ?
I might want to try

Go deliver your present in-person.
>>149414300
Don't count on it.
>>149414300

From what he said in the pastebin, it sucks ass if you have a job.

>Doesn't have to deal with the trouble of packaging/shipping
Fuck you.
>>149414424
I only signed up for cards. I don't think I'll be rolling up to someone's house just to drop an envelope in a mailbox. It's still a little weird, even though it shouldn't be.
>>149412991
no assignment
I guess I'll resend it
but thanks for trying.

I'm gonna do it!

I never factor in shipping for buying for my assignment.
>>149414515
>assignment in the same city

I really don't want to spend even more money on mailing a big ass box to a place 2 kilometers away but I wonder if hand delivering would be inappropriate.
>>149414300
>if I got someone on my list, did they get me too
No. A > B > C > A
>>149414607
I'm aware of that. I'm just saying shipping is going to be expensive isn't it?
>>149414622
Dress up as a UPS worker and have them sign and stuff for their package. Who knows, maybe they'll invite you in for a complimentary blowjob tip.
>>149414566
This isn't quite right since I'll just be dropping an envelope in my mailbox and the post office will do all the rest. Besides, this might be a girl's name, I'm actually not sure. What if it's some 16 year old fujo browsing /a/ and her dad catches some guy walking up to his door to drop an envelope in his mailbox with his daughter's name on it?
>>149414628
Gotcha. Well, someone's gonna get a surprise when they see the return address.
Taking care of a few e-mails where some of you had some questions! Right now would be a good time to ask since I can probably get to it!

Do I get anything anons? Ive never done this before.

Just go up and drop it off. Knock and run away if you're worried it'll be stolen or something.You know anons of both genders are too awkward to actually make a move on someone.
DH-LfromONBBfromNetherlandsRfromCzech RepublicAGfromPortugal
I've got you.
Oh and a slight heads up on things with extra information : Some wishlists may seem difficult to work with and get merchandise for. I know that most people would dislike getting a duplicate of something and that's understandable. I advise to not ask specifically what someone does not have, because it might give away pretty easily what you're going to get them. Of course, we'll definitely help get expansions on wishlists if it's necessary to you! Creativity is good, but if you lack it that's fine too!
Not-oldfag anon here. Just posting initials in case people want to search for theirs:
Present:GH from Noord-Holland, NetherlandsI ordered your stuff, it's on the way. Impeccable taste in shows, hopefully you'll love your pressies!

Your postal office's website should have estimated dates of arrival listed somewhere.
This faggot down the hall reminded me that there's laser cutters downstairs. Do you think this would be good for cards?
>>149415065
Yeah, in march I got a card from anon that thought that it's okay to send cards using regular mail half a planet away on December fucking 22
>>149415024
Anon. Anything else is unacceptable.
>>149415135
Yeah, it would be sweet as fuck.
>>149415065
Cards are opened early in most places. Some mainland yuros open them on christmas, but then again they open presents on christmas eve like a bunch of weirdos.
>>149413038
>>149413038
I hope you're okay and look back on these times with a smile
>>149415187
At least my family doesn't even send cards before like 14th, but then again we don't have to send anything internationally.And there's literally nothing wrong with opening presents on christmas eve.

No. Better to spend more time on the cards instead of rushing.
First time participant here.
When's the best time to ship your gifts by? I'm thinking the end of November/Early December? It's within the US

As soon as it's ready.

Fellow Germanfags, according to my local newspaper, DHL may go on a strike in November.
So read the news and if they really do, use Hermes.
>>149415827
Postal service won't hesitate to fuck you over on every step of the way so the earlier the better.
Is there anyone fromSerbia? I might participate next year but I'm too pisspoor to send them internationally.
>>149415877
I have no idea how those spoiler tags got fucked up.
>>149415827
I always try to ship them the 2nd Friday of December, that way they don't receive it super early, and it's not risky enough to get there late. I think as long as you don't mail it a week prior to Christmas on normal speed, you're ok.
>>149415859
I want to believe that the anon that has me already posted saying that I am in good hands, but they didn't do initials.
They just said something related to my wish list and "You know who you are!"
DWfromSI
Sorry brah, the shops in my city are full of pleb merchandise, so I couldn't find anything of your wish list.But since it's the time for giving, I'll give you as an extra a little something of my own collection, our tastes are luckily not that different. Hope you like it and take care of it as much as I did.

Gonna start and finish shopping for your stuff today and tomorrow, already have some stuff in mind. Good taste so far!NanifromSwitzerlandMDfromUSandMSfromUS
Literally don't have any ideas for your cards yet, but fear not! I will determine my entire weekend to collecting ideas. Gladly, none of you have shit taste either, so I'm sure I'll manage fine.

Your stuff is being worked on. Do either of you have characters you specifically like?
>>149418607
I panicked and paid the extra $80 since I would feel terrible if my gifts ended up late.
$128 spent on shipping for two gifts (100-150 and 25-50 bracket).I have spent more on gifts this morning than I do for my bi-weekly mortgage payment.But it will be worth it and I saved up for this!
>>149419029
I got a job just for this.
My shitty trailer is falling apart and I need to fix it before winter but I just spent my last 3 paychecks on /ss/

I'm starting to think of some good ideas for your cards and I'll get drawing this week.
>>149413038
I still have the gift that I received three years ago when this stuff was just beginning--you do good work Santafaggot, godspeed
>>149418902
I own a home and live alone, I listed something like no extreme hentai because I want to be able to display my cards and gifts when family and friends come over.
I might find a gift wrapped in "I just took mom's virginity through her anus" manga panels funny, but mom might not think so one one of her several announced visits
>>149419068
That's why I only do cards, shipping things from where I live would almost always be more expensive than the gifts themselves.But I'm glad you've embraced the spirit of Christmas and I'm sure your assignment(s) will love it.
>>149419150
No, fromNJ. Sorry anon, just a bit more patience, I'm sure your anon's somewhere out there.
>>149419380
I never get mentioned and the gifts have shown up for 4 years without fail so I shouldn't worry myself but I still have to ask.

This is very confusing.
>>149419578
Which one did he say?
>>149419578
He didn't specify which one or what?
>>149419578
Only one choice, anon. Draw all the sabers.
You'll be a true human bean and a real hero if you do.
>>149419578
Here is a picture of a Saber that was drawn for me.
>>149419578
Be a hero, draw them all.
>>149419673
He did, but when I search for it, two different sabers pop up on yande.re
Guess I'll just go with the one I'm relatively sure of.
>>149419768
That is a cute saber.

Hey guys I might be retarded, I'm trying to buy something on Suruga-ya for my anon and I've never done it before, I've got all the details of the forwarding address filled in etc, but when I click the confirm order button nothing happens. I'm pretty sure I have everything filled in right, is there something I'm missing here?
>>149420205

>>149419950
>>149420077
That's how donating blood works here in theUS. Because plasma donation takes a while and does not carry the same risk of disease transmission, since it is processed heavily, people are allowed to be compensated. Since blood can't be cleansed the same way as plasma hospitals wont use payed for blood, which is technically legal, on health and ethical grounds. The Government Accountability Office looked into disease rates of compensated donors and found them to be higher but because plasma is processed down to base proteins it is considered safe.
My assignment had really normalfag tastes, so I got him a normalfag gift. Is this okay?
>>149420226
Okey doke.
>>149420283
How normalfag? Shonen-stuff?
>>149420077
I would totally give my plasma for that
>>149420429
Did you put the second name in Kana?
Did you select your payment method?
In the 3rd address line, you only need to fill in the numbers, though I doubt that's the problem you're having.
Does anything get any small error message in red? If not, maybe your browser is fucked or something isn't working right?

Yes and yes, and I got no error message. I guess I'll try changing my browser.

Same here, feels good to do that.
However, I'm not buying presents for family or close friends. Maybe I'm a bad person after all.
>Woke up to my Santa wanting more information on what I want
Anyways, my recipient only put his last name's initial on his address. Can I mail something with just a first name and initial, or should I ask for the full last name?
Gifts, not cards if that matters.
>assignment asked for socks
>it's a grill
Aren't socks like different sizes? She should have sent some feet pics or something
>>149420926I-I'm going to be in NYC the first of December as well. I didn't know they had shops like that.
>>149421104
Assume landwhale size
>>149421081
I kinda hope that my recipient responds to my questions soon enough.
If they listed only first name and initial, then I suppose that it's good for their country's postal service.
>>149421104
>bought some ugly socks for my anon because they're official merch and were cheap
Socks are still the best Christmas present.
>>149421148
We both live in the US, and I've never seen just an initial on mail before, which is why I ask.
Should I use black or white as base for my card?
>>149413038

>>dowloaded a bunch of Adobe programs and books on how to make pop-up cards and eraser stamps
Are they good books? Would be fun to make instead of pouring confetti into the card envelope
I know the /a/ consensus is handmade > store-bought cards, but what if they're really fancy and nice? Like they play music and pop-out and all that shit.
>>149421438
You could at least customize them somewhat
>>149421438
handmade is still better, but if you must then just make sure it's not some normalfag shit
like that guy that put non /a/ faggot stickers on his card
>want to start buying stuff but they didn't give enough info
>have to wait to hear back from my anon
Please anons in the future make sure to actually put down characters you like and more than 3 shows the first time. It saves so much time that could be spent getting you your gifts.
>>149421438
You can order little music boxes to put in card and put their favorite shows OP
>>149421608
I'm waiting, too. Might be several more days for Santas to contact the anon, anon to write back, then for Santa to send back the info. I worry it might not be another 1-2 weeks before I can order anon's gifts, so I can't put as much love into it. I personally like more info than less info for bracket gifts. Cards doesn't matter as much.
>nobody posted my initials last year

I'm fully noided as well tbphwhf. But I guess I'm happy just to be able to give an anon a nice present anyway, and even if I do get grinched, hopefully someone else will cover for me. I volunteered to buy stuff for grinched people as well, so that'll be some good karma.
>>149422407
Someone was supposed to buy me something as a grinched anon and nothing came.
>>149422457
Man that's shitty, getting grinched by your safety net. I guess it happens.I-I would never grinch you, anon

I'll probably start working on the card since that's pretty simple to redo and get my baking supplies together as well.
RQfromCA
Gonna track down order your gift sometime after the weekend. Get ready to be spoiled, hopefully you enjoy them!Also is red a good color, I have a cute pair in mind. If not what color would you prefer?
Reposting from last threadANfromWAAZfromGAMPfromCA
I already though of ideas for your cards! I'll make sure to give it my best and I'll get to them some time later this week. Also I wanted to bake cookies for you guys, but not sure if you want em? inb4 cookies filled with love. I promise they won't be/look like shit, can't guarantee if they'll stay soft though.
>>149413038
I've actually been debating whether or not it would be worthwhile to set up a server and online form to make signups easier.
Have it check against a blacklist and auto allocate Santa to anons and then check it manually to make sure its all okay
And then have it handle the mass email out when everything is okayed.
That way organizers could just handle the ">tfw grinched" and "my anon is a piece of shit who only put 2 shonens in his wishlist, tell that faggot to give me a better list" emails.
Hell the current organizers could still run it for all I care.
The only problem I see is that online forms do lower the effort required to signup so we might get more plebs signing up and fucking it up for everyone.Maybe use a Sadpanda like setup to filter out complete idiots. Or time limited/thread based initial signup passwords.
>printer ran out of colored ink
At least these were only templates so colors don't matter that much, but it's still an issue
>>149422182
I don't know what to do when someone just lists Gundam. Do I watch every single Gundam series in order to learn more?
I am working on cards and things though, so it's not like I'm not doing anything.
Konnichiwa minna! Once again, i'm doing Christmas CD's for all the good little boys and girls so again, here's the important post that will let you know how to submit your CD request this year!
Here's how it works:
>Fill out the form
>list anime, anime OST's or an anime genre you love
>put your name, address and any other info you'll need to list to ensure a successful delivery
That's it. Now that that's taken care of, let the games begin!
Name:
Address (write this in the format that you would put on an envelope):
What kind of songs would you like on your CD?:
Anything else I should know?:
Now this is usually a question I get every year so i'm addressing it now.
>Can I send you something in return?
Yes, you may. I will give out my address to anyone who wants to send me something, though please don't be obligated to do this. I do this every year out my own heart.
>What's the email to send my form to?
[email protected]
>Are these CD's free?
Of course, baka!
That's all. Thanks for reading and have another great holiday season!
>>149422767
>effort required to signup
I got it done in 3 minutes. Granted I wasn't too picky about my list becaues I'm going cards-only, but I can't imagine that the current signup process takes a lot of effort.
>>149422807
Neck yourself bullying faggot
KOfromILI ordered your present. I hope you'll give us a picture of it all set up :^)
>>149422797
I'd look up what things are available related to Gundam. You're also not just limited to that, try to think of maybe "neutral" things to add to your gift?
Personally speaking, I haven't listed all that many characters and shows myself, because I actually look forward to be completely surprised. As long as you're putting some effort into it I'm sure your anon won't be disappointed.
>>149422797
Depending on which ones they listed and your price range you can narrow it down. If their into gunpla then you can just buy some kits from that series that you think look cool. There's also robot spirits to look through as well. If they listed the original series or uc in general I recommend looking through the A.N.I.M.E line they're putting out now, they look great.
>>149422893
At least he didn't rip up someone's card and post about it.
>>149421425
I saved them to my mega so let's see if this works (phoneposting a shit)

There's also a program by the company that made pepakura specifically for cards called pop-up card maker, and it has a free trial version.

>>149423357
Ask BlondeDude. There's a reason he's blacklisted from this event.
>>149422535
I have literally seen none of your shows, so I'm gonna watch some before I do your card
>>149421081
I have done that every year and it works fine.Plus then I know if it is /ss/ related or something else, so I can save it to open in shame and glory on Christmas morning.

They're a little spread out from each other but if you don't mind walking or taking a bus it'd be easy to visit all three. Muji has a lot of stationary and packaged food, book-off has used manga, art books and CDs and then Kinokuniya has new stuff that's a little overpriced.
I got the same giftee from last year.
one point is that i know i would not let him be grinched.
But for the other side im sure it must be boring to recieve a gift from the same santa twice in a row.
what to do?
>>149423850
Grinch him, obviously.
>>149423457
That is good to know.
Now I just need him to respond so I can finalize his gifts.
>>149423850
why don't you make that a point of the card?
"Hey anon! Not sure if you remember, but I was your santa last year too!"
>>149413490
I'm studying abroad, but I think there are quite a few anons that live in japan on /a/ even if there aren't doing secret Santa. I know theres a few in the Yuuki Yuuna threads and YuYuYu isn't all that big.
>make anything you want for cards BUT PLEASE KISS MY CARD!
This anon...
Is it possible for your giftee and secret santa to be the same person?
>>149423973
Sounds like you'd better do it.

I wish you well Santafaggot, you've been doing god's work.
>>149423850
>must be boring to recieve a gift from the same santa twice in a row
I wouldn't mind having the same Santa twice.Because it would be the first time that someone has thought of me two Christmases in a row for a long time.
And you know what you got them last year, so you can avoid double ups.
>>149424002
Not unless sanaloli or santafaggot made a mistake.

I'll begin working on my anon's Christmas cards Tuesday of next week. It's the soonest I can get to them thanks to to an extra busy week at work this week. At least I'll get a higher paycheck this time to help pay for my /ss/ gifts!
>>149423436
You're in for a treat.
If a show has a LN though, read a bit of that since they are what I've listed the series for.
Like I wouldn't recommend my waifus anime, but the LN is fantastic.
If you're anime only, start with Tsuritama or Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, it'll be a better time for you.

Whenever I see these threads I worry that my grinched person never got his gifts. I've never heard anything from Santafaggot and loli to suggest they didn't, but I do worry, because I didn't handle the final posting as I was in another part of the state at the time, so I had to get family to do it.TPfromArizonapls respond.

I don't know what international shipping costs over there, but international from canada would be about $20. Also most nendos weight about half a pound.

>>149428351
For me it's a lot, I'm originally fromIrelandand I'm not used to more than two or three people being in the same country as me on 4chan so every time I see the Netherlands I'm sure it has to be me this time and it never is.

>>149429444
Your local post office should have some sort of shipping calculator that you can use. I have no idea what it costs to ship something out of EU, but I would guess no more than £10-£20 for a nendo.

>AC from AL.
I think that you got me. I was honestly hoping I got someone who wasn't bothered with drawing Osomatsu san characters. I was scared that I was going to get grinched.
I just want someone to draw my husbando.

Don't exhaust yourself too much, anon. Looking forward to the card!
>>149429719
I don't get these assignments. Looks like plenty of Dutch people participated and I stressed that I only wanted to ship internationally if absolutely needed, yet I'm buying for a German.
Remember to check the archive if you don't see your initials
>>149429444

That's perfect, I signed up for 10-25$ international and I didn't want to pay to much for the taxes, but I can afford that if we're talking about only 10 or 20$ extra.
>>149413038
We appreciate all the work you've put in, thanks again
Would you rather get 2 art books or 1 art book and some LN? Assuming you are interested in them of course. I'm thinking the latter would be better.
>>149430113
Nor do I see my initials, so they probably really fucked up
>>149430311
Depends on the series
I'm planning on sending gifts to anons I was supposed to send only cards, and cards to people who I was supposed to send only gifts. I guess there's no problem on sending extra things as long as I send at least the thing I was assigned to.
>>149430317
Some anons just aren't posting initials. I signed up for 2 gift exchanges and 2 card exchanges and I've only seen one person post my initials.
>two boatslutfags
>>149430398
Correct, nobody will complain about getting extra stuff.

>>149413038
Boo fucking hoo
>>149430553
Thats rare. Name one of series?
>>149430640
Is it really that rare? I'm trying to be vague here, so I'll just say it's popular.
>>149430701
Most of popular-ish series have atleast something - be it character design, gegna collection,etc.
But yeah there are some(Noragami for example doesnt have anything even if its decently sized manga series with 2 anime seasons).
Go for the second option then
>>149428044FVfromThe Netherlands
Oh boy, looking forward to whatever you decide to give!
>>149414345
Its not hard
300 e-mails?
Set an entire day aside
Organize price ranges, then check for contingencies like "I Can't send this far"
Then check for fuck ups like addresses.
Then match up
Its not that hard. A weekend at best.
>>149430449
I'm feeling generous this year and there's plenty of money to spend, so why not.
>right initials
Oh boy
>wrong country
Oh shit
>>149430640
What's rare, not owning LNs?
What?
>>149430797
I have this strange feeling that some parts of this could be automated with VBA and Excel. Then again, what do I know, I only work with genome-wide association studies.
>>149430512
I also have this strange feeling that you're on my list. Must the pic you're posting with.
>>149430914
I meant it that its rare for popular manga/anime series not to have character design, gegna collection, artbook or something along these lines. Even the flops these days have them.

Oh man thats me.Last year I sent out 3 cards-Germany,Mexico and USA if I remember right. Maybe you were one of those
I found the madogatari store and want to pick something up for my anon but it appears the storefront isn't functioning yet either because the event hasn't started or because it's just a list of things you will have to go the event to buy. Can anyone confirm one way or the other?
>>149431644
Could be wrong but I was under the impression you had to go there to buy stuff. You can find a bunch of the merch on y!jp, mandarake and other stores though.

Oh boy, that could be me. I'll patiently wait for your card, anon. Good luck with them, and take your time!
>>149431570I mean from this year, 2 threads ago an anon said one of his assignments was a Yato believer (149352271) and I think it could be you.
>>149413038
You know what? I'll say it.
I think Hudson was better.
When Hudson did it I received my gift, all my cards, and even my giftee sent back a thank you card before Christmas.
Under SantaFaggot
I've been grinched twice, and not one year have I received all my cards.
Hopefully whoever takes over next year is better.
>>149420068SZfromCAhere. Ay baby, I thought that someone was gonna just say fuck it to my list because of the Hyperdimension Neptunia (and the other shit, too). But I'm glad that you're on the case.
がんばれ anon. I look forward to your gift.
>>149431991Oh man, I am looking forward to cards this year.
>>149432034
I was grinched under Hudson and I was grinched under SantaFaggot. Maybe you got lucky one year, huh? Maybe as /ss/ got more popular shitty people signed up?
>>149425137
Same here. I sent to the grinchedJDfromONbut never saw anything in threads or got a thank you. I moved shortly after, I have been worried I screwed up the posting and it was returned to my old place.
>>149426012
I was up til 8am every day this week waiting for assignments, tomorrow I have to be up at 10am, and like clockwork I'm coming down with a cold again. I guess at least it wasn't in the last legs like every other year. I always avoid making cards when I'm ill.
>>149432034
Why the fuck would the organizer be responsible for you getting grinched?

He said 300 in his goodbye thing, not 500.

>>149413038
Thanks for your many years of service Santa! You and many other /a/nons make Christmas worth waking up to.
>>149432194
Who knows if I was grinched or he was incompetent and didn't match me up with someone or didn't double check addresses, especially cards.
All I know is Hudson did it at the last minute and everything worked out brilliantly.
SantaFaggot does it in advance time, and cards go missing, people get grinched, and assignments sent out or done on time.
I saw my initials in the archived thread! I'll at least get a card!dokidoki

did santashota also retire?
>>149432344
>everything worked out brilliantly
Are you sure you're remembering correctly? Like, really sure?
>>149430797
You need to match anons based on taste, at least for gifts. Cards seem to be random.
And Santas also complained about people dropping out later, which means you have to redo things.
You also need not let people enter multiple times, and ban people who grinch.

>>149433828
some anons stated they wont post their targets as to keep it a surprise
Just a reminder that people shouldn't expect initials to be posted and just because they aren't doesn't mean you're getting grinched. A lot of people don't post them.

>>149433456

I assume you can back up such a claim, right? My initials weren't posted last year and I still got my gift. But next to no effort was put into it.
>>149434021
Yeah, but now they're all going to compare cards and agree that I was the shittier card anon.;_;
>>149433674
I'm sure it will be fine, it can't be any worse than my card (´・ω・`)

>>149432407
I wouldn't mind waiting, no.
why even fucking bother making cards when no one is gonna give you one back
>>149434441
Cool, I'll send you something back!
Just got a bunch of paper today for cards, this is gonna be a fun weekend!
There are like 500 people signed up.
It would take an entire thread of nothing but initials (with no reposts) for everyone to get their initials posted the correct number of times.
Most people either only lurk, or don't post initials when they do post. They'll probably still send you stuff even if they don't post your initials.
>>149434737
You're supposed to enjoy making the cards!
Receiving is fun too, but it's not the main point of the event.
