Isn't this thread too early? Is it okay to already post weekend Christmas comfiness?

>>150419572
TN Note: open now means "open now".

Sorry, homos, I've been having trouble getting the motivation to finish my cards. I'm gonna try and finish this weekend since I have it off so I can send them by Monday.

>>150420490
>social interaction

Unless you mean the Christmas cheer in the threads, there's no actual social interaction beyond sending and receiving gifts/cards. You have the option to stay in contact with your Santas by sharing e-mail and similar information but even if you're socially inept, you can easily participate.

Classic /ss/ memes.

I only participated in the second or third SS year so I'm not familiar with the current process. Is it VIP as fuck or is getting into the mailing list easy? Asking for next year obviously, though probably just for sending cards.

>>150421430
One of the organisators quit this year so it'll probably be different next year.
Rest is same as always except there's a whitelist for >100 brackets since grinching rate was ridiculously high there last year.

Fuck.

Here's the WIP of the card. All of the anons I got will get the same card, but they will get a picture of their waifu/husbando in the inside. With candycanes or peppermints if I can get it without people questioning why.

My grandmother just told me that someone will take my Christmas cards and sell them for millions. I don't know how to feel about that.

>>150425794
That's a lot of money.

>>150425794

>I couldn't even sell them on Deviantart for play money.
You're doing something wrong, because people can sell color palettes for play money. You probably just need to whore yourself out and network more.

>haven't even started drawing my card

I brought out my old art supplies from HS, but I pretty much knew that I could never practice enough to be any good. I have all my gifts and am ready to ship it out, but I have nothing for the card.

I even have plenty of ideas for the card, they've just all looked horrible or have been too complicated to pull off.

You don't know that.

Who's this Sam Hyde?

>>150425999
That depends on if the current organizers are looking for someone to fill that role. Honestly, I'd be interested but after reading the struggles the organizers go through year after year and this is even before factoring in employment, I don't think I could manage it. There's plenty of people on /a/ with the knowledge and time to do this, so here's hoping.

As long as they don't shill J-List.

Threads have been pretty slow as fuck.

How many people signed up for /ss/ this year compared to last year?

>>150425019
I know the feeling, same thing every year. I have like 10 cards to do this year, but I'll get them done on time.

>>150426809
I figured it was /a/ in general being filled with more faggots every complaining about /ss/ threads. Thankfully this thread hasn't had any of them.

>>150426932

I also like 2hu. I don't really dislike any of them other than the super irrelevant ones.

it's a trap. Sam Hyde is a violent neo-nazi who has a militia of hundreds of men around the world. He infiltrates subcultures he deems degenerate and orders the user base decimated. If you receive anything from or gift to a "Sam Hyde", you're ass is grass and he's a riding mower.

If it's actually Sam Hyde, he needs to be stopped before he infiltrates 4chan and brings it further negative attention. I believe he's been on /pol/. Since he makes other people do his dirty work, he's never stopped.

I think it's just some /pol/ack memer using it as a joke. I have the guy for cards and he listed a MAL with about 200 shows watched and plenty of moeshit rated highly, so I doubt he's actually some dyed in the wool neo-nazi.

I hope I get my gift before the 17th because I go on vacation then...

Also, tell the organizers that.

How long do you think it would take for a card to arrive in europe from canada?

>>150430054
"Sam" here - yeah nah, I don't really go on /pol/, I'm just using his name as an alias since I didn't wanna use my real name and thought I'd get a giggle.

>Had illness and personal problems to deal with, only now getting to start assembling the cards
I really, really hope I don't have to default to cop-outs for the last couple of cards just to get them there for christmas. But the ideas and prep I've made for some of the cards is just too elaborate.

>>150429747
Download more stamps. If you can download cars and ram, surely you can download stamps now, right?

>>150429810
Yeah that's me! I'm surprised it got to you so quickly, tried to send it early to make sure you'd still be at the same address. Sorry about calling him the wrong name, when I first got my assignment list I automatically read his name as Jaden, then once I'd made the card and I went back to the email to get your address I panicked for a second when I saw a different name and thought you're husbando was someone else.
As soon as I heard about synchro cards I dropped trying to get back into it, a shame.
Anyway you're husbando a cute and I'm glad you like it.

>told my anon I'd try to ship it before thanksgiving

I don't want to message him again. I already got all his presents but I didn't realize it would take hours to get the card looking okay.

Anyone else having second thoughts about their presents? I think mine are great but then I also imagine he's going to hate it all and I'll ruin his Christmas. Should I include a note saying that he can contact me if he doesn't like it and we can work something out? This is way too much responsibility.

I messed up the scale on my first draft, should have started from the bottom but the end result isn't too bad considering last time i drew anything was like 10 years ago at school, or at least i hope so.
i'll just have to hope my anon didn't see original source of his waifu which im gonna copy

>>150454555
Grid the original image if you are worried about scale since you are on graph paper, but I think there is something special about completely free copies.

A bit too early I think. We live in the same country so it won't take too long to get there.

Wouldn't want him to be tempted into early opening if there is still close to 3 weeks before Christmas by the time he gets it.

I would rather have a bad drawn card than a store brought one because someone took the time to draw something for me, no matter the skills.

I'm not too worried about scale just a thought to myself to start from bottom next time, I'm also only using graph paper because i found some old notebook which is good enough for few drafts before i actually draw the waifu on the card itself, either that or just on a plain paper.

>>150454970
>And Jebus
I'm apparently my own country.

>>150453340

That's my card! Glad you and your grandpa enjoyed it, was a little worried it might be too lewd.

>Recieved a parcel today
>Nowhere near ready with most of my stuff
Late nights for the next few weeks it is for me if my body will even hold out.

Maybe next year I should just donate to a charity or something. I am way too insecure to be doing this.

>>150454889
>>150454332
It's embarrassing.
Looks like I'll go through with it then.

> Don't see my cards posted

>>150455333
You're special that's all

Anon that gets me I'm sorry for my shit linework my hands are so fucjing shakely lately it scares me

>>150454970
Thanks anon, I'll treat it with the love it deserves.
Also, thanks for motivating me to work on my own cards.

I feel really bad /ss/, due to some family drama i had to pick up leave my place. I wasn't able to make proper cards for my gift assignments before i had to mail everything out. I finished my regular cards tier just before it all started but i feel really bad about not sending a proper cards with my gifts.

My package from japan still hasn't even started to cross the pacific
Is it too late at this point? Should I cut my losses and send what i have so far?

KK of CA
JS of MA
MS of Canada

Cards incoming

>>150457614
Are you sending within your own country or international?

If pretty local you can wait another week or so, if not i would consider sending in the next few days.

>>150457746
I'm sending from the midwest US to new england
This is fucked because out of three packages I ordered this is the only one that's been held up

ES from VA

The wrapping and the box itself may be shitty, but that doesnt mean the gifts themselves are shitty I hope!

>>150421591

RL from PA I received your gift today! I can't wait till Christmas! Thanks again!

>tfw was almost finished cards and then family emergency pulled me away for the weekend
Is next week too late to post cards? Will they be sent in time?

>>150458431
Dec 7 is fine, they still have over 2 weeks to arrive at that point.

>>150458431
internationally, maybe not
nationally, definitely not

>>150458431
If you're sending international then you're fucked, otherwise it's fine

>>150458519

You can probably still send them express or some shit.

Fuck. I'll send them Monday and make a post with initials apologising. I had a few overseas cards. Ah now I feel like shit.

If I sent cards and gifts to multiple people, will I only get 1 card and 1 gift? Or multiple cards and gifts?

im so jelly of you guys, i participated last year for the first time and had a great time.

unfortunately i'm a wagecuck and i had no money nor time to take part this year

>>150458639

I'm in the same boat, still waiting on on a gift to arrive. Do people usually send cards with presents? I didn't factor that in so I don't think I'll have time to make extra cards.

>>150458431
I've signed up for 5 cards and I haven't received a single one yet.

>>150458639
Sending them by the end of next week should still be fine, you still have time.

>>150440088
Your an evil, bad man anon.

>>150458690
you get back the same amount that you send
otherwise it wouldn't work
