Because we're still on weekend and people are still posting and looking for initials.
I ain't posting initials.. You fucking wait and get your present.
Its been 3 days since I asked my recipient a question. How long should I wait before resending it?
I know Santa Loli just finished the assignments recently so I expect there to be a bit of backlog.
Fuck this, in my experience people who dont get initials posted either get grinched, or get shit tier cards that took 30 seconds to make.
IVfromON, do you have a MFC?
>One of my assignments entire list is SOL's/loli bait I haven't watched
>No waifu
Spending most of my day watching a few so I can get an idea on what the hell to do with the card.
>>149437434
Over the past 5 years, very rarely have I seen my initials posted for cards, and my Santa's have only ever posted when they were sending the package. Thus far I haven't been grinched.
People have just got started, stop stirring up shit
>>149417681
>JR from FL (lmao)
I just checked right now. The hell could that mean? I don't know whether I should be worried or not.
>>149437580

>waaaaa I don't see my initials
>TFW getting grinched.
You're a bunch of fucking faggots.
>>149437434
Post your initials, I'll post for you next thread. Just so you shut up.
tfw my anon is going to get the same thing from his second santa and he isnt even going to post the rest of the gift in the thread either
>Anon has most of the things I was planning to get them
Back to the drawing board then.

Is anyone actually finishing cards?
I got my assignments on Thursday and I've only been gathering ideas and random doodles. Materials are ready so I guess I'm going all out next weekend.
>>149438113
I need to get craft supplies still. I've still got a month to get cards ready, so I'm not worried.

>>149435447Did you get a list of 6 or so gift suggestions or 3? I have another gifter so I don't know if the organizers addressed that.
Reposting guide by a helpful anon.
Shops for brand new merch:
CDs: cdjapan
Books: honto.jp, amazon.co.jp
General merch: amiami, amazon.co.jp (only ships some merch internationally)
Shops for used goods:
Books: amazon.co.jp (Used books can be really cheap on amazon, but only some are available for international shipping. Generally, those that have the 'Prime' sign can be shipped internationally.)
Figures: amiami
General merch: mandarake, suruga-ya (no international shipping), Yahoo!Japan Auctions (no international shipping)
If you want to buy from stores that do not ship internationally, you need to use a proxy (buys and ships the item for you) or a forwarder (you buy the item and ship it to him, he ships it to you)
Good and cheap forwarders:
2you4 (does not always undervalue)
jpn-depot
biginjap.com
Good and cheap proxies:
fromjapan (also does bidding for Y!Auctions)
jpn-depot
zenmarket (for Y!Auctions)
If you're in Europe, choose shops that undervalue to prevent having to pay import taxes and further delay due to customs being lazy and slow.
Check buyfag.moe for more details of everything and information of your country about loli importing/undervaluing.

DWfromGermany, your gift is ordered.
If you assignment lists "I like X character best, but all of the gitls are great" is it still acceptable to get them something that isn't X character? I feel like they don't actually want other characters and are just trying to be polite and not seem picky, but X character has no good merch that isn't sold out everywhere.
A small suggestion to check out what people are selling on MFC as well. I just found some completely new and sealed merch for my anon that was much less than retail price.
Is it a bad idea to get someone Japanese manga even though he didn't specify if he can into moonspeak or not?
Would anyone be happy about manga they can't read?
>>149443422
I'm a bit iffy on manga, but I routinely request non-h doujins and can't speak moon.
Maybe only listing a few shows I like and that I'm into figuarts, figmas and revoltech wasn't such a great idea after all. Or maybe s/a/nta is being a tease.
>>149443251
/toy/ has too many shitty crossboarders, mostly shit /v/s and /tv/s. You goto /a/ related /toy/ threads, it's clean as hell

Nah, sorry, he's in MI.
He also has a very loose sense for capital letters, which is starting to set off my autism.
>>149443333
They probably know that X has no good merch. It should be fine to get stuff of another character, just put X on a card or something.
>>149443251
I had the worst fucking experience with /toy/'s Secret Santa but /a/'s has been amazing. I actually feel Christmas cheer when browing these threads.
Many years ago, but I will never forget an anon saying he sold my gifts for "what they really wanted" and my cookies were ok. I posted this in a previous thread, but in return, I got a banana and a broken, used bobblehead 2 weeks after Christmas.

>>149438408
I read it. Im saying people desperate for their initials to show up are too concerned with what they're getting out of this. Its an anonymous gift exchange on unreliable-ass 4chan, you shouldnt sign up for this accounting to get something out of it, just give for the sake of giving. Cue a bunch of anons telling me how it still sucks if theyre grinched though and that somehow validates them begging for initials like greedy children.
No initials period, and if my gift doesnt show up i dont even mention it. Im only unhappy if my assignment doesnt post pics of their gift.

Dear lord, that's worse than being grinched.
>>149444673
FYI, loli is of dubious legality in Canada, the UK and Australia.
>>149445316
I think you're interpreting incorrectly, that anon wants to ship his anons alcohol, while referring to them as little girls, since on /a/ we are all little girls.
I'm gonna be grinched. I can feel it in my bones. But the only thing that will make me upset is if the anon I send to doesn't post.
>>149444759
Googling what, their name? Address? They already listed their MAL, and after going through it had better taste than at first glance, and I don't feel the need to stalk anons.
And sincerely think what? I'm sorry my autism is preventing me from understanding what you mean.If you're IV with Hinagiku for your waifu, and you just want to say yes or no, that's fine. I'm only asking if you'd be okay with the gift, no hard feelings.
>>149445316
I'm not sending loli, read the post chain. I'm not trying to get anyone vanned for christmas.

EJofFrance, do you have any particular favorite girls or vehicles? Figured I'd ask here before adding to the email pile.
I just spent almost 3 hours working on a single card and it's still not ready. Need to do some minor touch ups here and there and then attach the three pieces together. But now it's time to sleep, it's like 3 AM.
At least I know that the rest of the cards won't take nearly as long, this was pretty tricky one. I just hope it doesn't fall apart, I kinda don't trust the paper and glue I'm using.
So what website do you guys use to get your custom wrapping paper?
>tfw no initials
its over lads. If I dont get posted im grinching my people.
Who else working on cards?

Probably won't be sent early because I like to spend a long time making the cards. Already got some ideas flying around.

Sorry anon, I started drawing when I was aloli. It's a lot of practice, but best place to start is breaking things down into shapes so you can do proper proportions and copying images. Also, youtube tutorials are greatI can always tell which of my students watch them because they're better at drawing
I don't like getting card anons with yandere waifus.
I don't know if I should draw them all nice or psycho.I can barely draw so ain't drawing both
>>149447415
Santaloli did state that all assignments were out, so if anon was telling the truth then that means there was a mistake.
Or hes being a faggot.

>Slightly more than last year, but finding the exact numbers last year is too much effort right now when I'm concentrating on this.

Sorry. I'm trying to keep my weeb shit somewhat contained so I pared down my list a bit. Glad to know you can make it work though.
>>149448876
No, but it's safe to assume they're a filthy secondary and fill the card with memes, possibly including drumpf ones.

You can do Piano versions of OPs and EDs and post it on youtube. I love watching those, and if you were my santa that would make my day to receive a link to a video you personally made for me.
>>149448125
>>149448161
I've never really used them myself!
Searching "how to draw X" or "X tutorial" will give you results (just ignore the awkward looking ones because they aren't the best people to learn from).but this one seems cute: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcqXCujaQ9rxaZQ0XXxmI4A and this seems decent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2fKxNDsXuw
Your best bet is actually watching livestreams or time-lapses. They usually turn into full out paintings (which is the part I usually watch) but they still have to draw it in the beginning. Watching how people draw helps a ton.I've always explained or shown people in my own livestreams when they ask me as well.Can't really rec any of those because I usually related video ride through a few dozen and never go back to the. I mostly looked at pictures or other art while growing up.And I teach at an art studio for kids but am leaving soon
>>149449225
If it makes you feel better, I spoil my card anons.
>>149448038
>>149448099
Just practice and you will be able to draw. Seriously, it's that simple.
Don't get any drawing books or read any of those online guides on how to draw. They won't help you if you suck at drawing; I promise. Those guides are only for people who already know how to draw and need to refine their skills.
You need to look at drawing like learning to ride a bike. Did you read a bunch of books on how to ride a bike? No, you got on the bike.
For example, I've been working with 3Ds max (3d software) for like 8 years. I'm at the point now where because I'm so familiar with the program, that I can look at guides for various techniques and apply them to what I'm working on. HOWEVER when I first started, these guides would have only confused and frustrated me.
The only real skill you need is the ability to know that you suck AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, why you suck. If you are able to that you will gradually improve. Lastly, if you get tired of practicing then go do something else until you get un-tired. Don't torture yourself to the point where the idea of getting better is something you hate.
>My initials never get posted the three years I've been a part of this

I may not be an artistbecause i'm not an artist. But on the of 1 to 10, could you masturbate to this?
>>149449338Maybe not for /ss/, but I was planning to do that eventually, even if just to have some sort of online presence/portfolio. Like I said, I don't feel I'm quite to the level of being able to do a live performance on piano, but maybe someday.
I did try recording some drum covers back when I had the room, but the recording quality was abysmal and I kept making stupid mistakes because I couldn't hear the song and myself play at the same time, and I'm hypercritical, so I never uploaded anything.
>>149449629
I'm good at drawing but I want to get into 3d as well. How do I start? I know you said no guides but it can't be as simple as just dowloading the program and blindly fiddling with it, right?

Even the ones that get their initials posted get grinched.

I'm getting super self conscious right now. I thought I had decided on the gifts for one of my anons because we like a lot of the same things so I just got things I'd like but now I'm thinking because it didn't take long it's just too basic and not creative enough.

i'm panicking 9 too senpai.
>>149451387
Sorry anon, but I'm not.
AR and PW from Canada, here are your initials, I hope you'll like your gifts/cards!
>>149451352
>My waifu
>That file name
I wonder if it's for me.
Don't spoil the surprise though, anon.
reported, you guys are being ridiculous, you don't need another thread to confirm you got the recipeint you said you got in email
>>149452432
>announcing reports
Reported.
>>149438058SfromFL
>>149452498
>announcing that you reported a reporter
Reported.
>assignment is obviously not an /a/ regular
Dostedt?
>>149452561
4/5 of my assignments are from /v/.
>>149452561How do you know?
One of my cards is a fujo who only listed a few series.
>>149452606
Typing style and taste.
Please don't say you have shitaste when referring to your waifu/husbandoeven though I don't like themit pains my heart.Unless your waifu is Saber or someone like that
>>149452708
What if your waifu is literally the most popular waifu bait character to come out of Japan, then?
>can get my assignment a generic figure of his waifu
>or a really unique thing of his waifu that might not arrive until after Christmas
This is too hard.
>>149452929
>Unless your waifu is Saber
>>149452956
I mean even more popular.
>>149452708
I think people just in case they get a mean person so that they are less likely to be judged and grinched.
>>149452929
So that's Saber right?
>>149452708
my waifu is from a shit series but she is a lovely lady
Do they call their waifu shit to their face? That's abuse
>>149448446
Make a mixtape CD, easy as shit.
>>149452965
I can't think of anyone.
>>149452965
dare I say Miku?
>>149452689
I just listed my top few shows because I didn't want to overwhelm my anon.
>>149453026
>>149452991
It's not my waifu but one of my card assignment put down Lum as their beloved character, she's the one I meant.
I guess Miku would be in the same boat too.
>>149453026
Miku cannot be a waifu. She has a hot-swap personality.
>>149453071
She has no personality you mean?
That sure as hell doesn't stop people
>>149453050
I would have guessed Belldandy .
>>149443112
Thanks anon
>>149453462
I hope he doesn'tbecause it'll make my gift look bad.
Konnichiwa minna! Once again, i'm doing Christmas CD's for all the good little boys and girls. The deadline to get yours in will be coming up soon so claim yours while you can.
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!
new to ss. is the person you're sending something also sending something to you? i have no idea what i'm doing here.
>>149453690
No, person A sends a gift to you, you send a gift to person B, and person B sends a gift to person C and so on.
JDfromCanada,
I've bought your gift, but I made sure they'll keep it and send it Dec 1 :^)
>>149446790
Nice job! I'm starting tomorrow after getting stationery. Been lazy with drawing lately but I'm going to go all out for these.
>initials have only been posted by one person

>>149453035
I'd say having more choices is always better, but no worries.
>>149454107why don't you just ask?
I kinda want to make my card not so christmas-y and more like an actual composition. Is this okay?
>>149454545
You could always make a normal card then lightly tape a santa hat on a character. Boom, instant christmas card.
>>149454545
Fuck yeah. When you buy people gifts normally for Christmas, do you make sure they're Christmas related? Probably no.
>>149454545
Are you denouncing our lord and saviour?
Don't worry anons, everything will be fine. Have faith in your santas.
Need to get envelopes before I start cards so I can crop them properly. So doing fun things for my cards instead.
>>149453035
>list more than just a few top fav shows

>>149454998
Why would you bother, the Santas have the data.
>>149454998
The organizers usually release statistics after awhile, there's no need for a poll.
>captcha: gifts late
>>149455262

Not to mention that strawpoll isn't reliable and not everybody will vote.
>>149455380
>still having text catchas
What is this, 2011?
>>149448762
Christ this year is already shaping up to be a shitshow. No wonder there's been a 3/1 ratio of initial postings to actual gift discussion.
>>149455550
>he doesn't know about legacy captcha
>he's still dealing with that street sign and click all the hamburgers bullshit
>he bought a pass
>>149455692
>he's enslaved by jewgle
>>149455692
What difference does it make, in the end you're still either doing free work for fucking google or giving money to the asian jew.
Choosing your poison has never been worse.
>>149455834
I agree it is just picking your poison, but my point is the two word legacy option is objectively quicker to load, easier to use and overall more efficient than the other one, so there's absolutely no reason you should use it.
>>149456055
*shouldn't

Anyways, CS fromha fuck you not giving the state yetyour presents are already set and will be bought soon.
>>149454998
>requires a captcha
I'd vote, but I'm too lazy to fill out a captcha.
>>149456055
They're about equally terrible, text sometimes have incomprehensible words and the pictures thing sometimes have retarded questions that makes no sense.
The draw object thing is the shittiest though, who designed that should be shot in the foot.
>initials never
>i missed sign ups again
Every year I swear
>>149437770
Presumably it's because you're from Florida
>>149446790
I'd post but I don't want to spoil my giftees
Reposting from last thread,JRofOHandMcDofNJ
Expect your gifts to arrive early!
>>149455551
All the assignments have only recently been sent out. The threads will hopefully become less common instead of every other day and we'll get actual discussion since people will actually have put work into their gifts by then.
Initials were a mistake though.
Anons fromChileFCMPMB~desu
I know where you live.:^)
Also, are you allergic to something?
>>149458353MP here.
No-nothing.
>half-jokingly ask for one of my grails
>it's been completely sold out for a long-ass time, so there's no way they could find one, right?
>suddenly find and win an auction for it
Should I tell Santa to tell my gifters not to buy one?
>>149459031
Good to hear.
>>149459051
But you could have two grails.
>>149459180
But what if I end up with six?
>>149459051
The thought of some poor anon searching desperately for someone's grail only to stumble upon an auction won a few minutes before by the person they're shopping for has me cracking up.
So theres nothing with sending the cards and/or gifts early right?
>>149459647
Only opening gifts.
>>149459647
The rule of the thumb is to send them as soon as you can.
>>149459262
>assignment wants grail
>find auction and bid on it
>get into bidding war with your assignment in which you ultimately lose after jacking the price up for your assignment by 300%
>>149459237
Not gonna lie. I would definitely love multiples of my grail.
hello JD from ON
>>149459805
What if you receive them in november? There's not even snow on the ground yet.
>>149460263
It's a test of will. Anyone who opens it early gets blacklisted.
>>149460263
You dig a hole on the ground and store it there until December.
Is the person you send your gift to the same that will send you one?
>>149460311
No, it's a random chain.
This anon's waifu don't even have good fanarts.
>>149460311
This gets asked so often maybe it should be answered in the the first post.
>>149460311
Isnt there some kind of FAQ for these? Im not saying dont ask questions but there has to be something for the frequent questions
>>149460443
>>149460503
s-sorry
>>149460520
Its ok m8I asked the question last week
>assignment's waifu
>major character from a popular show
>tons of stuff on MFC
>almost every shop I search has nothing
>what little there is is hugely overpriced
>>149460622
Sounds like it could be me. Have you checked mandadake? They might have something.
>>149460622
How? Where did you look?
>>149452561
Neither am I to be honest. Haven't seen much anime in the last year or so but I enjoy it from time to time and I like giving to others. Also, I don't talk to my parents anymore so ss is the only way for me to have Christmas not be just another day.
I think we can all agree that casuals participating is far less troublesome than people getting grinched.
>>149460662
>>149460673
I've tried every site on buyfags, the only site with decent results was solarisjapan but I've never used it personally and searching for it in the archive paints a pretty poor picture of the place.
My guy had a pretty solid list of other things he'd like but I'd feel bad not getting anything of her.
>>149460797
Custom made dakis they are then.
>>149452561
I no longer visit /a/ that often anymore, but I still watch a lot of anime and read manga.
>>149460622
Who is their waifu?
>>149452694
My typing style is very un-/a/ outside of /a/ because I care more about sounding friendly, so that could be it. Also people have pleb taste here too.
>>149460767
>>149460947
Well the general idea is sharing presents with the people you've been arguing, posting smug, and touching dicks with for the past year. But as long as everyone participates properly and doesn't act like an obvious crossboarder then I can't complain.
>>149461064
Maybe you should use an /a/ typing style seeing as this is an /a/ event then.
>>149460976
I'm hesitant to say just because I don't want to spoil them if they're in the thread, and I may have actually just found something.
Must sound a total prick for doing this after posting about it, sorry about that.
>>149461083
That's a nice idea, but even if the person is from /a/, theres no way to tell if you've been arguing with them.
>>149461161
If it's a main character from a popular series, then I'm sure multiple people would have her as a waifu. So it wouldn't spoil anything.
>>149461153
I did use an /a/ typing style in my email, I'm just saying I could see why someone might not while still being a regular, since you're off the board even if you're interacting with people from it, and you're presumably trying to come across as a person who isn't a dick. As long as it's not all emojis and exclamation marks everywhere I don't see the problem.
>>149460622
>major character from a popular show
Send him a box of condoms. Thousands of guys probably share her, and he needs to protect himself.
>>149461234
Yeah I guess you're right, it'sYoko from TTGL.
>>149461351
Oh, that would be me. Don't sweat it, mostly included her for the arts&crafts if you are into that. I know merch wise she is pretty difficult.
>>149461351
Send him merch of the real best girl, maybe it'll cure his pleb taste.
>>149461435
Oh damn, if you don't mind I'll post a link to what I'm considering buying of her. Again I feel bad for ruining the surprise but I guess it's better to know if you'd like it or not, and I'll still be getting a fair deal of other stuff of course.
So because my assignment didn't give specifics to their likes and just a long as list. I decided to get a good spread of really nice stuff from various shows.
Also they put in quite a bit about power-level hiding. Nigga, the shit I got for you, there ain't no way you're gonna be able to hide your powerlevel with how sugoi and kawaii this shit is.
>>149436523
as long as the last name is correct it shouldn't be a problem.
postal system didn't require full name for the last few times either.
>>149461523
Also I wish I remembered the names of the anons that got me for /ss/ the last few years. Really love the presents they sent me.
And for that anon that bitches about it every year I post an image of them. YES, I DUSTED THIS TIME!
>>149461507
Do what you think is right. I don't want to know.
>>149461606
Alright dude, really hope you like whatever it is I do eventually decide on.
>>149461351
There's some merch on Suruga-ya and Mandarake. Search for ヨーコ 天元突破グレンラガン
>>149461671
Thanks, I'd been searching with ヨーコ・リットナー which came up with very little, figured it was odd with how good Mandarake's been for me in the past.
>>149461605
That's a big mugi.
>>149461435
You're probably not the only one.
>>149461875
Every time I post an image of them all, on any board, someone always says that.
And every time it makes me giggle and puts a smile on my face.
if my anon put several light novels on his wishlist, i assume he wants the originals (in japanese) and not some translations?Are there even translations of LNs? I never looked into LNs before pls no bully
>>149462021
There are official licensed English LNs, look into it.
>Initials posted once
>Signed up 10 cards
It's o-okay, not everyone frequents this t-thread, right?
Posting again from last thread:LBfromMNMDfromIAKHfromCAJMfromSCRBfromTXMSfromNJVGfromAZPFfromNihonAfromPhilippinesNWfromSwitzerland
Almost all cards designs are finalized.
CardsRDfromWAJKfromCanadaPBfromCA
You're in good hands
>>149461941
Honestly never seen anyone else on /a/ have her as waifu.
>>149462021
This might actually be a legitimate reason to post initials and ask him
SMfromFinland
I've got you again this year. I'm sorry I didn't get you a proper card last year with your present. I'll do better this year.
>>149462021
Why would you get him Moonrunes LN? 99 percent of this board doesn't even read JapaneseI put down LNs now I'm scared its me
>>149463710
Personally I would only want moonrunes LN even if I couldn't read them just for collection's sake.
>>149463731
Personally I would like to read em.. Its just a useless paperweight literally.
CNfromNSW
I've ordered your present(s)! Please wait warmly
>>149443422
>>149451349
I bought some of my favorite manga as a bonus for my /a/nons. It's in Japanese.Is that terrible as well?
>>149463784
I probably wouldn't ask for anything physical unless I had already read and liked it.
>>149461952
Well then, every time I see it, I'll make sure to say thatfor you.
This will be the first time I send a letter to South America
>tfw excited
>>149461234
Not just arguing obviously.
Point is, it's an /a/ event for /a/nons.
>worked all night and morning, finished single card
>notice a stupid mistake that I can't fix because I laminated the card already
FUCKING FUCK. But I also feel that it's the best one I've made ever on /ss/ and that all the other cards I'm doing this year will be boring in comparision
>tried drawing
>what came out looks like the doodles of a retarded 8 year old
Ok, maybe the drawings will be printed from the internet then. But I will write it by hand, at least.
>>149464312
I spent hours on mine and they still look like doodles, but I'm hand drawing them anyway because I think its a nicer gesture than internet print + cut
>>149464312
But those make my favourite cards. Why would I want something I can find on google?
>>149461605
That Mugi is one of my most wanted figs, but I didn't even bother putting it on my wish list since I'm in $25-50.
Damn, drawing cars is hard.
>>149463678I almost got excited that this would be me, but the surname was wrong.
>>149464484
Your Anon likes Initial D?
Is it ok to send cards to previous/last year assignments?
>>149464523
Of course, I do so every year.
>>149464523
Please do. I just missed the deadline and you might have me.
I'll send you something back for v/a/lentines.
>>149464499
Are you by chanceSLfromFinland?
I've got you too then.
>>149464463
One of the things I absolutely love about this Big Mugi, is that fishnet isn't painted on or apart of the mold. It's actual fishnet stocking, fabric and all.
Hot glue comes to mind every time I pick it up to dust it off. I really thank the anon that sent this to me last year.
>>149464523
It's fine, but keep in mind that people may have moved, particularly college-aged anons.
>>149464617Why yes, I am.
I'm sorry for my shitty taste.
I'm in the UK, is SAL safe to use at this point with Mandarake? DHL and EMS are like double the price but if SAL means being late I'll have find the money somewhere.
>>149464655
Do you have several Secret Santas? You mentioned that you wanted the manga most of all, but I'm worried that you might get the exact same presents from several people (happened to me last year).
This is probably a better question to Buyfag-thread, but I'll try.
How is SolarisJapan with their pre-owned stuff, especially books? They're literally the only place I can find a poster book my Anon doesn't have yet. I just don't want to blow $20 and shipping and then get absolutely trashed book in the mail.
>>149464711
SAL usually takes about two to three weeks actual shipping time to UK on average, including customs.
>>149464711
Just about. I wouldn't leave it more than a couple of days. Even then, there's no guarantee.
>>149464717
Nah, only signed for one gift.
>>149464499
Yeah
>mfw I forgot to add dorifto to my wishlist
>>149464742
>>149464760
Alright sounds like a bit of a gamble but I'll go for SAL, if it is a little late I can make it up to them when I get a payment in January.
Thanks for the quick responses.
>>149464847
Thanks. That's good to know.I always worry I buy someone a present they already have/are getting.
>>149464935
Just let him know in one of these threads if it comes late. Last year I got a present a month late but since he posted about it in a thread I knew it was still coming.
>>149464523
I've sent both cards and smaller gifts to plenty of my past assignments. Keeping in touch with anons gives me a special feeling.And if you're here, VP from FL, I posted earlier (>>149361801) about that letter I was going to send you.
I apologize again for the delays.Also, I think this is a silly question, but you are over 21, right?
>>149465001
Oh of course, I'll post and email Santaloli about it.
YBfromGermany, if you're here could you please tell me if you're getting multiple gifts this year? I'm worried about getting you duplicates since you mentioned it happened to you already last year.
>>149464711
You can also try airmail which is often not that much more expensive, normally takes a week or less to arrive and has as much a chance of dodging customs as SAL. I just got my invoice from mandarake, 2 figures + a blanket costs 2500 for shipping.
>>149465095
Yepp I'm here. I'm getting gifts from 2 people this year. My wishlist is longer and more varied this year, so I hope it'll be fine.
>trying to order from Amazon.jp
I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I have ordered from Amazon like twice during my life so I don't even remember how it happens.
>>149465182
Amazon jp usually only ships books and CDs and stuff like that internationally, if you weren't aware.
>>149465182
>>149465232
They have quite a large range of figures that they ship internationally now too. But yeah you have to make sure they ship the item internationally, if they do then you just add to cart, checkout and pay. If they don't ship it internationally you'd need to use a forwarding / proxy service to buy it.
>>149465232
>>149465305
Good thing I'm looking for a book, then. It's the language barrier that's causing issues.I live in a small European country that Amazon in general hates. We don't even get free shipping anymore
>>149464312
Someone sent me this 3 years ago, I wouldn't worry about it. And yes, I just took that picture, I save and hang everything I get.
why are english translations of japanese books like twice the price of the originals? i feel ripped off
>>149465146
Good to know, I'll try hard to make sure all your gifts are unique then!Also your taste makes you seem like you are probably a chill and friendly person
>>149465335
There's a button to show japanese amazon in english in the top right somewhere
>>149465477
Well, don't I feel like a dumbass now.
>>149465335
>I live in a small European country that Amazon in general hates
Ireland?
>tfw 800 years of oppression and we're still reduced to using Brit Amazon
>tfw I would have been choosing between buying gifts or paying rent
No /ss/ for me
PRfromWAESfromVA
and cards:MWfromCanadaJSfromCanada
I will start buying your stuff tomorrow, I hope next week I will start sending the gifts.
>>149461523
Aw shit, this is me. I'm hype.
>>149465951
You live in Mexico?
>>149465427
Thank you! And don't worry too much about possible duplicates. I've posed my double Yotsuba figures from last year to play as twins.
I'm not sure if youreSMorSLbut you've both got great taste in waifus.
>>149466009Shit.
>>149466063
Oh I'm neither, since we're not swapping gifts with each other, I'm just some randomgirl. And I don't actually have a waifu/husbando, I guess I'm still waiting for the one. Thanks though, I'll keep that in mind!
>>149466236
It's working differently than last year I guess. The Anons I sent gifts were the same ones to send me gifts.All good things take time to find.
>>149466009MA?Oh god.
>>149466070
Consider yourself lucky you're not that anon. I was about to go ham about how hard it is to shop for someone that just gives a list of "Don't Want" and their MAL with no specifics about anything.
I went full on with the anti-powerlevel hiding items. The stuff where their amigos go "You pendejo, what's wit the anime dolls?". And when his Mandre or Padre sees it, they will be all "How are you suppose to find a good esposa with THIS! Ayy dios mio!".
But maybe that is what this anon wants...or maybe I'm about to make their Christmas interesting if they open their presents in front of their friends and family.
Also, none of them are lewd or +18.
>>149466386
OH THERE YOU ARE!
see this >>149466387
>tfw wanted to send and receive gifts
>horrible exchange rate and import/export taxes make it impossible
At least cards are free.
>>149466387
I live with a couple of friends that watch anime but not as much as I do so bring it on.
>>149465828
>he can't spare a couple bucks for a pencil, some paper, an envelope and a stamp
This is why you're poor
>149466387
and I asked about the powerlevel stuff because I don't mind using anime stuff on public but if they are too much I just put them on my room and that's it.
>>149466544
Then I guess that Madoka themed prostate massager isn't out of the question.
>>149465335
No free shipping? Try no Amazon at all. All they sell here is ebooks and they only accept credit cards, which no sane person owns.
>>149466597
Well I hope now it is, because I don't want to know what you will send me.
Is it just me or does it seem like anons are putting more effort into their cards this year?
are nendos actually low quality items or is this no nendo thing just a meme. I might get one as a side present
>>149466826
They're cute and high-quality.
Some people hate the chibi thing, but they're dumb.
>>149466826
Apparently a anon said they didn't want nedroids, because they had a bunch of them already. But they didn't say that in there wishlist, just "no nendo". So that secret santa sent them some anyways.
There are some really top quality nendroids out there. I'm gonna pre-order the Galko-chan one next payday.
>>149466796
It's my first time
Can't exchange gifts so would feel bad about sending a shitty card. I'm doing my best!
>>149466796
Let's hope we see the best cars yet!
>>149466826
They're fine, unless you get a bootleg. I imagine some people might like them for being simpler and super-deformed. People who like the high-end unposeable stuff might see them as a poor man's fig.
>>149466785
Now I'm going to put more stuff in there. Maybe even some cool stuff not on your wishlist or MAL.
Just because.
NIGGA YOU GETTIN A ONAHOLE!
>>149467008
eh, a gift its a gift better than getting grinched, I'm sorry about not being specific on the list I was just not sure about what I wanted and just wanted to participate.
>>149466826
I actually prefer them to full-sized figs since they're cuter and look less creepy to normies so I don't feel as weird about displaying them in my room.
JBfromUKJBfromIreland
Gift ordered and thinking what the hell to do for the cards
>>149467316
>look less creepy to normies
>>149467458
Well, maybe not if you're a boy.
>>149467316
1:1 probably is overkill, indeed.
>only things I've gotten are a bonus thing that I suppose they would like and candy
I'm going to hell. I have no ideas whatsoever.
Unless anyone knows any good and cheap forward-services for Amazon marketplace sellers.
>>149467770
See >>149442310 for forwarders.
TYHfromSingaporeI've already ordered your gifts, rest assured that you're not gettting grinched this year.SHfromFLMPfromChileandMWfromOntario
Hopefully I can do your cards well, I'll try my best.
>>149450308
That's how Sketchup works.
I'm another anon that tries to learn Blenderso I can make a 3D model of mai waifu, and trying to know everything 'bout it on 3-2 days is a mistake. Learn slowly the basics, and maybe you'll be able to make a nice house or a car.I just want to model little girls and some maps for SA
>>149468467
I'll repost my cardanons again in case anyone missed it.RQandAZfromCASFfromNYJFfromCanada
AndPAHTfromDenmark
And if anyone had an anon that put Dorohedoro and 3 Gatsu on their wishlist my favorite characters are Dokuga and Shimada 8-Dan!
I figured that since nobody's posted my initials I'm not gonna post my giftees' either
>>149469030
Considering that picture you posted, im pretty confident I know who you got.
>>149466979
She's so cute.
>>149468982
Nope, you're getting an MS Paint drawing of a crocodile and a lion making the coitus.
>>149469329
Yeah I'm doing a watch through for him/her
Been on my backlog for way too long
>>149469348
>Head is bigger than boobs
I can't enjoy this.
>>149469381
Good good, you won't be disappointed.
>>149466796
I think as more time goes on, there will be more cards to compare with and now people are sharing more and more creative ways to make them.
Pretty soon it will be standard for cards to be holograms with a pepakura waifu and hand baked wedding cake.
>>149468982
I'm looking forward to your card!!
>>149467316
>normies go in your room
Fuck off normalfag.
I just want to exchange a couple of cards.
Why did I have to oversleep?
>>149469710
Never sleep again
>>149469710
You were sleeping for the entire month of October?
>>149471303
>>149471460
When I fell asleep, the deadline was supposed to be when the next thread died.
I didn't read the new thread and updated deadline until it was too late.
>shops weren't selling Christmas wrapping paper
oh well, i got the cutest available
So for people sending baked goods how are you packing them? I was thinking of buying one of these kinds of christmas tins to put them in.
>>149464726
From what I've heard they are not too good.
>>149472168
See if you can find a tin or pouch of their waifu. My assignment had both that I wanted to get, but it was sold out everywhere.
Is it bad if I'm tracing my drawings?
>>149472096
Fuck anon, you're fast.
>>149465402
Because translating and licensing isn't cheap.
>>149464726
>Solaris Japan
>Similar to Plamoya in that there is some rare merchandise to be found for high prices. Be aware that their new products have arrived with the figure damaged and in very bad condition. Their preowned products have also been very poor even with high ratings, there have been examples of figures rated 4.5 stars arriving covered in scratches or in disgusting condition. Their friendly invoice system allows you to value packages at what you want.
Taken from the Buyfag guide.
>>149466302
Must have been a coincidence then, but it worked the same way as last year.
>>149472343
Nah, I'm doing the same as well.
I can't draw at all, it's better then doing some stupid paint edit and pasting it onto a card.

sounds fun, ill be there for the valentines one
>>149472343
>>149472469
personally, bad art has a charm of its own so i prefer it to traced. its more intimate in a way, like more of their heart was poured into itthen again im an artstudentfag so it might just be me
>>149466826
Just a meme, their quality is great so long as it's not a bootleg.
>>149472343
my anon liked popular series
>>149472399
I've ordered from Plamoya a few times and haven't had an issue with their 'new' stuff. In fact I'm buying from there for my giftees as they have everything I think they'll like. Prices are acceptable too as the stuff is both popular and recent.
Not so sure of Solaris myself but yeah they operate in the same sense.
>>149472680
You should join in anon.
>>149462021
>Mine mentioned he wanted a manga of one series
>But specifically mentioned translations of another series
>The series he wanted had a notoriously off official localization.
Should I assume he wants the translated version anyway?
>>149472792
When I draw my cards, I normally just trace them. But I agree that bad art has a charm to it that I like.
GWfromMAKKfromNY
I hope to make you both happy.
>>149473108
Unless he mentioned that he can read moon, assume he wants any books in english.
>>149462507
Oh hey, I'm on there.
Sorry about my autistic wishlist.
I'll continue waiting warmly.
>>149473050
well its my fist /ss/ and i dont want to bite off more than i can chew, but i guess one more card cant hurt
i dont see a mugen thread up, is there a faqs link you can send or something?
>>149473050
No FAQS, just what I wrote above. Send what you'd send to Santa loli to my email and I'll pair you with a homodachi.homo threads are bitchier than usual this time with our homo card swap

I will do my best for you.

You won't be grinched, I'll make sure you have a nice Christmas.
>>149450994
I might send in an email. Are there many participants yet?
>>149476523
Yes
>>149475541
Nov 20. Might push back slightly if there's a need to.

I put down LN's but if it were me I would like them in English, Cant read jap
>Need to use a forwarder
>estimated delivery from the original seller to them is a week, and then probably another week or more from them to me
I'm getting a bit nervous. At least I know that parcel post inside of Europe doesn't take too long so technically I should be fine if I have to push the shipping to early December.
I'm still sweating bullets here.
How do I join in with Secret S/a/nta? I actually joined a
>>149477405
You dont, fuck off

thanks fampai, ill send one tonight, one last thing,why are they bitchier?
>>149477405
2late
>>149477405
Wait until next year
>>149477405
Look for the threads 11 months from now. What sort of gifts did you get from leddit? Like pocky or some shit?
>>149477459
No I got some generic brand cheap socks and a charity book mark one year
Disappointing it's still too late to join when there's way over a month left, maybe next year
>>149477579
Well that's depressing as fuck. I'd rather send nothing than something like that, I'd just be so embarrassed. But I guess they're on reddit so they're already fairly shameless.
>>149477651
Pretty much, at least on here I imagine you'd get something that isn't boring
>>149477579
Well what did you expect from reddit? /a/ ss is a lot of fun. A lot of people actually put effort into their gifts and cards. But then there are some people who don't.
>>149477641
It takes time to order gifts and send them out. Not to mention sending out 500 assignments. So the sooner the better.
>>149477789
Yeah fair enough, just disappointed
>>149437166
newfag here, how do you know that you successfully get an assignment?
>>149477579
Damn, that's shitty. I wish you luck for next year.You can still sign up for homocards apparently, though.
>>149477897
Everyone should have gotten an email by now, if you didn't you should send santaloli a message.
>Don't know how to bake and I don't even have the equipment for that matter
I could always go visit my grandma and take over her kitchen, but she would also find it really weird and give me all sorts of questions
>>149477897
Did you get email from Loli?
Is this US only usually?
>>149478045
Just say you're baking cookies for a work/school party or something.
>>149478015
I resend the email 2 days ago and still get no reply. I dont know what I'm missing, I did exactly as the criteria was given.
>>149478045
Last year I included a lot of Japanese candy and snacks to my recipent, so you could always do that.
I'm going to bake and I'm hoping my recipients don't have any allergies. I'm going to list out the ingredients anyway, though.
>>149478045
Just tell her you need help baking something for penpals.
>>149478093
It's worldwide as long as your place has postal service.
>>149457894
For whatever reason I still don't have my assignment. I've emailed santaloli about it, so hopefully this can be resolved soonish. Sorry to be a hindrance.
If it comes down to it I will post my initials, the last thing I want to do is grinch someone and still get a present I don't deserve.
>>149478137
If you just resent your initial email it's possible that they thought it was someone handing in an application past the deadline and ignored it, maybe you should try sending another email specifically stating that you never received your assignment?
>>149478185
Trust me Grammy, all the kids these days are eating each other's semen. It's perfectly OK for me to jack off into the cookie dough. It even adds extra protein.
>>149478321
>It's organic, unlike sea salt.
>>149478292
Alright, I'll redo the whole list and hopefully it'll still get in.
>>149457894
>Initials were a mistake
It's like this every year. You just need to start asking questions like:
If one of your favorite shows prominently featured a musical instrument, would you want that instrument as a gift?
>>149478321
Maybe she won't think of it as much weirder than other 'stuff kids do nowadays'.
>>149478151
>Candy and snacks
Thanks for reminding, I have to raid the sweets-aisle at the store. Was planning on throwing a buttload of local candy to the box.
>>149478137
>>149478404
Did you send it before the deadline?
>>149478404
Hope it works out for you anon.
>>149478439
Please do! My giftee is going to get some classic Lebanese sweets.
Maybe next year I sign up for gifts mainly because I really love home-baked goods and foreign candy.
>>149478470
yes, my two other old emails should still be in santa loli archive.
I feel the need to share my drawfag skill because I have never done it on /a/ before. I missed my chance last year.
I just cleaned out my storage shed and found some manga in good condition that has been sitting out there for a few years. Would it be in bad taste to throw in with my gift? I've already ordered everything so I'm not including it in the price bracket.
>>149479109
No if it's in good condition/clean anything extra would be appreciated I'm sure
DAY FUCKING 2
Where is my assignment?
>>149479109
As long as you think it'd fit in with your giftee's tastes I don't see why you shouldn't throw them in.
FHfromWA
This is going to be fun.
>>149479402
>>149479295
Thanks. Last time I mentioned I went over the price bracket and someone said they'd feel bad about being my giftee, so I wasn't sure if I should or not.
Has anyone even got a response from Santa since assignments were "done".
Its been 2 days and Loli still hasn't responded.
>>149479109
I wouldn't want anything that's been sitting in a shed for years. No offense anon, I would be worried about bugs or allergens. I'd probably just donate it or toss them, honestly.
>>149477430
>MAkill me
>>149466387
Heh, that was kinda funny
>>149479332
If I don't get a response by tomorrow afternoon, then I'm spamming the shit out of Loli asking about my assignment even if I get blacklisted.
I've had it with incompetence, delays and slow people this year.
And if I do get blacklisted, next year is gonna be hell.
>>149479109
Is it something your giftee likes and wants? If so, do it, but note that they're personal copies.
Is it something you just feel like giving away? If so, don't do it. Your giftee isn't Salvation Army, don't give him your unwanted shit.
>>149479472
I emailed them yesterday about asking for more details from my anon and they responded the same day. Still waiting for them to send back the anon's response though.
>>149472096
That heart wrapping paper is too fucking cute. I wish you were my Santa.
>>149479693
Then what the fuck is going on.
They already told me back in September I was signed up.
>>149479472
I emailed a question mid-last week, asking for more info from my recipient. I got a reply back Saturday morning.
They probably have a lot of emails to sort through now and SantaLoli is pretty much working solo now that Santafag is quitting.
DIfromPolandjust bought your item.
>>149479567
not you fampai?n-not that you dread getting one from me, r-right?
>>149479807
Santafag's resignation wasn't effective immediately, though, right? I mean he's finishing out the year surely, it'd be pretty mean to leave it all to SantaLoli.
>>149479622
Because that would be in any way helpful.
Relax. Breath in the Christmas cheer.And calm the fuck down.
>>149479848its not me, I would love one from you. Have fun anon, aishiteru
does anybody have me
>>149479886

You calmed down.

>>149479944
Yes I do
>>149480111
I want Miyako for Christmas.

>>149480050
Better watch out, he's a tough guy!
>>149479944
I have 4 assignments I won't post Initials of so you might be one of them.
Remember not to make too many threads or else Santaloli will get mad
>>149479864
>I'm going to see this year through to completion, including the de-grinching. I know there are a bunch of questions sitting in my email, and I'll get to the sometime tomorrow night, so unless you have a pressing, urgent problem (My assignment is international and I picked national, I got assigned to myself/the same person twice, etc.), you'll have to wait (note that this includes people asking for additional info on their anons). I'll do my best to manage it through this year, but come September, you'll need someone else.
>http://pastebin.com/GxNADH6p
I guess he will see this year to completion, but I worry about SantaLoli. Hopefully she'll keep at it, since it's obvious that Santafaggot is tired from organizing /ss/
>>149479944
I have you.
>>149479622
Fuck off blondedude and stop pretending to not be a piece of shit. You got blacklisted because you're a huge faggot and no one wants you in the event.
>If I don't get a response by tomorrow afternoon, then I'm spamming the shit out of Loli asking about my assignment even if I get blacklisted.
You're already spamming the shit out of us, and every time I get another email from you I add six hours to the reply time.
>>149480050
>Bullshit
After you publicly tore up someone's card two years ago, you're fucking lucky I even let you into the event last year. I blacklisted the guy who grinched you last year, but honestly you fucking deserved it.

Jesus, Amiami is an awful site to nagivate. I've never shopped for figmas/nendos/things of that nature before. Everything's sold out, and it's a pain in the ass that you can't tailor your search by category.
Any better alternatives?

Bullshit about being black listed, I never grinched anyone, I was always on time. So this whole "PEOPLE DON'T LIKE YOU SO YOUR BLACK LISTED!" Is bullshit. I already apologized enough for the card ripping, which was from an asshole.
So you blacklisting me because of your feelings and public opinion when I never broke any rules, when the only thing worthy of black listing is grinching is bullshit.
Why would you tell me I was signed up then?
Is that funny to you? Never grinched anyone, but you don't like me so "I'll tell you your signed up and let you think your grinched".
You could have told me I was black listed last year then.
