Everyone doesn't post initials and you probably didn't get assigned to the anons you were assigned. Don't be a scrooge just because you haven't seen your initials.

Is it too late to sign up for those fujo/homo cards? I heard the deadline was the 20th but last thread they were talking about already sending out emails.

I don't normally post initials but I guess I'll do it this year.
JH from France I have all your gifts already, your 'main' gift is a little unconventional but I hope you'll like it. Will probably send it to you at the end of next week.
Also sending cards out to:
CJ from UK

Yeah, I over spent on both my assignments and shipping is going to almost double what I spent. It's worth it though to see anons posting excitedly about what they received.

On a side note, how many girls sign up for this every year? I guess some might give boy's names, but there has to be a non-zero number of women who sign up.

In most places, you can have whatever name as long as the address is correct, and the mail will get there.
There are /a/nons with female names though.

I call people /a/non-kun or /a/non-chan based on their gender, but I don't spend more/less than I otherwise would have. Their taste in chinese cartoons is what matters.
And if a grill has a husbando I don't call her a faggot.

Girls are more likely to keep doing crafts hobbies in adulthood because they're either considered childish or feminine. Guys are less likely to get into knitting, sewing, scrapbooking, etc. There's a reason craft supplies tend to come in pale blues and pinks with flowers and ribbons every fucking where.

This doesn't mean SS is dominated by them though because it's balanced out by the higher male population.

But anon, all the best girls are actually boys...

So how are you guys doing cards? Are you buying blank holiday cards or making your own out of cardboard paper/cardstock/something else? I want to make my own with some nice thick art paper I have, but then it won't have an envelope to go in.

>>149957156
Well, you could just buy some envelopes?

>>149957243
Yeah, but then I'll have a card I don't have an envelope for. It'll become an endless cycle of buying new cards to use the envelope and I'll die and my family will put a card in my coffin without an envelope because I spent my whole life buying new cards to use the envelope.

>>149957306
Then just buy envelopes by themselves?

I use card stock and size them to fit the envelopes.

Just a simple witch. Like I said, it was pretty short notice, so I just threw together all the black/lacey girl clothes I own and grabbed a hat, eyeliner and nail polish from the store.
And before you ask, I only have one really blurry picture of me, because I had to be drunk basically the entire time to actually be social.

>>149956652
As awkward as I was at times, most people there seemed to like the costume. The host said I was sexy. It was 50/50 on the cute/lewd comments, and the ass grabbing was about equal from guys and girls.

Could you describe the process of drawing briefly? I want to make a drawing with colored pencils, but I would also like to make the outlines in regular erasable pencil first. Do you just lightly pencil the outline, then color, then erase?

>>149960798
I lightly pencil first, then I go over the lines that I want to keep in pen ink. Then I erase my pencil bits and color pencil the parts that need to be colored.

I'm sure you've hear that plenty of times coming your way in high school, don't have to be so obvious about it though.

>>149960880
Start with simple stuff like underwear under you normal clothes and expand to whatever you think looks good from there. It's just like regular fashion in that you'll have to find what works with your own body to look good.

If only I was pretty enough to masturbate to mself. I'd crossdress in a heartbeat.

Things that only happen in my anime and doujin I guess.

>>149961374
I am a little worried that other anons who spent within their bracket will feel bad about it or will feel obligated to go out and spend way more. Hopefully that's not happening and we're all just getting excited about Christmas, but you never know I guess. Everyone's situation is different, and some of us have the means while others don't. Hopefully no one goes out and spends food or rent money on stuff for this.

So since we're close to the finale of these sign ups, here's one last chance to get your Christm/a/s CD 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!

>>149962659
>femininity
Pretty sure lusting after a girl with a cock, emphasis on the cock part, isn't being attracted to femininity.

A penis (female) is feminine.

>>149963494

No such thing. Just mental gymnastics to deny your gay.

When this secret Santa event begins? I forgot last year and I forgot again, well I will enjoy see other anons posting their cards and gifts

>>149965007
Starts late sept.

>>149965007
Late september. Maybe email santa loli and ask for some sort of mailing list which will remind you next year.

You can still sign up for /k/'s secret santa, theirs is open until Dec 1st I think. I decided to do /a/'s this year since I bought a ton of /k/ stuff before the election.

There's something that's been bugging me, when people post the location of an anon in canada why do some people just say the country instead of the province? I mean they list the state if the person is american. So why not do the same for canada?

Eddy of CA I've had to send your gift directly to you from where I ordered it from. Lack of funding came up for me to send it to myself and then resend it out. So don't open the package until Christmas!

>>149965288
Because they aren't states.

>>149965288
I'd guess several non-Canadians don't know the right abbreviation for the provinces.

Either way, there's not many Canadians in this, so it's not really an issue

>>149965726
States, provinces, same thing.

>>149965811
Google is a thing. Or they could write out the full name.

>>149965907

>>149965907
Oh, they definitely could (and really ought to). But this is my fifth year doing this and it's never been an issue for me.

>>149957363
I really liked it! Don't feel bad, it was a super nice card!
I'm going to spend tomorrow working on your card and I can guarantee you my drawing skills have not improved from last year.

How do you erase pencil lines after inking? I always end up smearing the ink everywhere and it looks terrible, wasting all my time and effort.

>not a single card is done
Paper cutouts are so tedious. It'd be easier to just put the original drawings in the card but it won't be the same dammit.

Finally got the fabric to make anon's inferno cop plush. Excited to make it, just hope I finish it on time.

All 4 cards drawn and messages written. I'll try and ink one each evening next week so I can post them on Saturday.

Gifts are waiting on Mandarake being slow. Still need one more gift idea though, I'm getting a bit worried about that now.

>>149967836
Photograph, post, and thank him for his gift.

>>149967403
Thank you friend. I never knew those existed.

>>149967836
Depends on how bad it is. If it is kinda meh, I fake enthusiasm to make the anon feel alright if he actually did try. If it's literally 0 effort, like everything wasn't even close to wishlist and just really really bad, I probably would just not post it. I think it would be pretty damn hard to pull that off though.

>>149967836
shitty =/= no effort
so if my anons really did put none itd have to be no drawing, cheeseburger stains, on used napkin only saying merry x-mas levels of poor
if thats the case then holy shit whyd they sign up

anything else id love

>>149967104
Gifts have mostly arrived, last thing should arrive this week. For the cards, I just need to print and glue them, then write a short message.

>>149967836
The one who gifted me last year put in next to no effort. So I just posted a picture thanking them for the gift. Enough though I wasn't exactly thrilled with their lack of effort.

>>149968323
What do you count as a "lack of effort" put into a gift?

>500 yen item
>2200 yen shipping

For some reason Manda only offered DHL and EMS, but it's for Christmas so whatever

>>149968531
No wrapped gift + store bought card.

>>149968603
And not to sound ungrateful, but they spent about $30 in the $25-50 tier. The whole thing just felt like they put very little into their gift.

>>149967104
I was going to knock out two of them today but I ended up being depressed and doing nothing. I'm at 3/9.

>>149968679
I mean, it is in the 25 to 50 range, so they're technically not in the wrong exactly. But I see how no wrapping or anything special in it would make it seem impersonal and having no love.

>>149968603
> Not even a merry christmas

I'm so sorry I'm such a failure.

First timer here, I'm guessing doing a card's art digitally is common enough for those who can't draw but how would you feel if the message was too?

I only ask because I have wrist issues so my handwriting can look literally unreadable, but I worry that doing this is gonna make it look too impersonal.

>>149967104
All 5 cards plus a card to go with the gift done. They look like ass and I want to burn them.

Gifts somewhere between Japan and me. Maybe they're all here for next weekend so I can ship out everything at the same time

>>149968786
anon, it does not matter whether or not they loved it because you can't change the fact that they may or may not have. What you need to do is make the next anon happy because you have the ability to make it happen right now.

>>149968786
If you put earnest effort in you shouldn't feel bad, anon.

Last year my gift didn't have a tell so I opened it early, thinking it was something I bought. Turns out they just ordered and shipped it straight to my house. Never mentioned it again until now.

>>149968834
I think it would be fine as long as it's a personal message. Maybe mention your problem if you want.

>>149968786
I wouldn't worry about it as long as it looked like you put effort into it.

>>149968928
Oh it would be of course, it's not like I'd be copy pasting the same text to all of them. Thanks for the idea about mentioning it though, should help make it seem less robotic and lazy.

>>149968786
This is my biggest fear. I've spent a lot of time and effort on my anons gifts, ending up spending a ton of money on shipping to get something special I think my anon would enjoy, and I'm afraid they won't even care or think its dumb. Or not even post.

Some people might not receive their gift before christmas (due to visiting relatives or something), and are unable to join in on the holiday posting. Or maybe things got delayed.

But it does suck to not see your gifts or cards posted.

>all these people talking about not putting efforts into your gifts
>my anon literally had a wishlist and the shopping took all of an hour to find decent quality ones
I'm starting to feel a bit bad.

>>149969130
The way that >>149968603 If you don't at least wrap your gifts or buy something that was on their wishlist. Then you didn't put much thinking into your giftee.

>>149969130
If it was something they wanted, then I wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure you wrap it up and make a hand made card. Even if you suck at drawing, it's the thought and effort that counts.

>>149967104
All gifts ordered. Gonna pick up wrapping paper tomorrow and wrap what gifts have arrived. One small gift will probably be late, so I'm going to send the first batch off with cookies and some silly little extras and send the final gift off when I get it.

Haven't started on the couple cards I need to make.

I wonder when it would be ok to post photos of what you sent? Never? I've spend hours on a card last year and it wasn't posted. I have no idea if the person even got it, hated it, died, etc.

Also it does kind of bother me when people sign up for this stuff and know they won't be available to open the package until after the holidays, won't post photos or participate in the thread. Half the fun to me is posting photos, seeing what other anons got, etc. I guess it's super super secret santa that way, though.

to CM of Halifax, NS, all your gifts are here, wrapped, and ready to be sent. I'm just working on the card today, then your Christmas care package is ready to ship!

That being said though, I probably won't ship it till the first week of December. I get paid on Dec. 2, so that's the day I'll probably ship it out. And assuming there are no problems with the post office, it should arrive within 7-10 business days after that. I don't want it arriving too early.

Hopefully when you do get it, you can send some pictures of you enjoying all the goodies inside! Because I totally spoiled you rotten and went a wee bit above your price bracket And share some of those goodies with your parental unit. Least you can do, right?

To all the other anon's out there, Merry Christmas!

Sorry for dumb question. I'm just nervous and would really like to ship my gift out next weekend

Updated my wishlist five days ago, but never got response from /ss/ organizers whether they updated it not.
Does anyone know if they mention to you it with mail or do they just silently update send mail?

All gifts purchased, just need to do a card and buy a box to ship it in.

I'm probably going to ship UPS, so I need to figure out how to do that and pay for insurance.

Didnt want to give the suprise away, but just want to confirm something. JN from OH did you participate under the initials AL last year? If so which name did you want me to use in your card? The name you gave this year will be on the address either way.

I sent a joke package myself, and I ended up going over the bracket, but I hope he doesn't think I tried to gyp him. I got everything straight from his list as best I could.

Knocked out the paper cutting work on 1/3 of my cards last night, was pretty proud of how it turned out and that I was done in under 6 hours. Still needs painting for underneath but I'll do that when all 3 are ready.

I guess not strictly s/a/nta-related, but how do you guys come up with wish lists?

About 10 years ago it became harder and harder to think of things, ultimately I just request household supplies (food/toiletries/etc). Most of the things I would want I could just download anyways (movies/shows/music/etc).

>>149980653
Are you talking about outside of /ss/? Close friends will already know what to get me, everyone else I'd rather have an Amazon giftcard. No reason to waste your money on someone you don't really care about buying something they don't care about.

>>149967104
Gift has arrived, but I still need to put in a personal touch before I ship it out.
0/2 cards done though.

>>149980653
I agree, as I grew older and got my own income, I buy what I want. I don't have any friends, family just asks me what I want and I tell them. Christmas has mostly become buying stuff for relative's kids, less about the adults. That's why I participate in /ss/ though, to try and feel the Christmas magic again.

>>149980391
JN is just a shitty alias, so I don't mind you using AL

>>149980903
Thanks will do.

>>149980488
I hope you told him that you did that so that he doesn't accidentally open the gifts before Christmas.

What is the best way to send a figurine without it being crushed? USPS?

I'm pretty sure they don't send reply emails if you're just relaying information or updates.

How do you respond to people asking for your address, all at once or as they come in? Sent my email a few hours ago and had nothing back so I'm worried you somehow never received it.

>>149967104
0/3 cards done or even started on
0/1 gift done because the post office is closed today and I need to pick them up. Also havent done his card either

I'm thinking about how I should troll my match. Should I put his presents in boxes of other products and then put it in a big box? Like a toaster box and making a fake card that says "I thought you'd like this toaster instead of that anime stuff you said you wanted". Then I could draw a cute toaster on the card or something.

They also sell boxes for fake products which are pretty funny:

PB from Cali

I got all your gifts, gonna send them this week

>>149982360
You just ruined the joke if your anon is in here. Why do people keep doing this?

JB from Ohio. Anyone?

>tfw my present might be shipped to the wrong country
there's an Ontario in California too

>>149967104
Gifts I ordered should arrive this week. Cards are all about at 50%, since I'm working on them assembly line style. I still have to bake cookies, too. Everything should be shipped out week after next, though.

Would you be okay with a card that used official art so long as it was unique in another way?

Eraser drawings for 2/4 cards are done.
Gifts are all wrapped, bubble-wrapped and inside their shipping boxes, will send them as soon as I finish a card for it as well, for which the eraser is also done.

As long as some thought was put into it, I don't see why not.

>>149967104
I'll have my cards sent out sometime during the week after Thanksgiving. I've already sent my /ss/ his gift.

>>149983550
Just put some thought into it.
I enjoy the nicely and pleasantly drawn cards as much as the ones with the Parkinson drawings and otorhinolaringologist hand-writing.

Dammit, I knew this would happen. I bought a few for myself but I need to hurry up and wrap this shit.

>>149967104
Last gift almost here, may add some more to it off of amazon if only to further spoil my anon. Will do all my cards over thanksgiving weekend, I can't draw so I do photoshop, I can usually finish all my cards within a few days.

Basically this but with watercolor painting under it. Wish I had time to do the full color with paper, but since I'm in the middle of moving I dont.

>Santas not keeping up with time and has .moe domain
Please, stop it, you fake.

>>149985092
What can I say? I do this for two reasons.

1. It avoid the massive influx of mail the postal systems get after Thanksgiving and thus reduces the chance of some sort of fuck up.
2. It prevents me from procrastinating until the last minute to send a gift and me having to pay out the ass to have it delivered.

>>149985859

ive heard b&w and inked for thus type but never eraser
these are really cool anon no need for full color

Maybe next year.

I'm seeing more and more worry about initials in these threads. I've not ever really posted cause I never catch them at the right time but just so you know AS from Ireland your stuff should be arriving at mine on Wednesday, all is going well.
