Attn: TransFans



After seeing this awesome idea [link] I could not help but think that a TF Secret Santa should be arranged! So I’m arranging it! If you are interested, please read this in its entirety:

Here’s how it’ll work!

Members who sign up for the project will be both givers and receivers. Each person will be randomly assigned to MAKE a gift for (be Secret Santa to) one other member, and will in turn RECEIVE a gift from still another (their own Secret Santa)! Secret Santas will be selected from the list of participants at random by me, using a random number generator. Yes indeed. I can guarantee there will be at least one spreadsheet involved.

Who can sign up? Anyone on dA who likes TransFormers and feels confident making a TF-related gift for another deviant!

Gifts in this case are not physical objects, but the kinds of things we can share over the internet, of course! Appropriate gifts for your “Santa-ee” could be, for example: a drawing, a short story, a photocomic, a music video*, etc, etc! It should be something you make with YOUR special talents, tailored to THEIR favorite aspects of TransFormer-dom! (some restrictions may apply**) The gift does not have to be a masterpiece, but it should be something nice that you are proud of.

Please, if you want to sign up, make sure you SERIOUSLY consider whether you will have time to do this project! It would be very disappointing for someone to not receive their gift after working hard themself, so please think before you sign up!

To sign up, send me a NOTE with “TFSS” in the subject line. With your note, please include some info on what you like: your favorite characters (canon or OCs), faction, or continuity (Animated? G1? IDW? Bayformers? …Kiss Playas?). This way your Secret Santa will have some ideas as to what to make ESPECIALLY for YOU! Also, I'm running this as a Christmas event, obviously, but you can also mention whether or not you actually celebrate Christmas, if you want. When I receive your note I will enter your data and send you a note back to tell you that I got it okay. Midnight (Eastern USA time!) on the 21st of November is the deadline for sign up notes! I will then send all participants their assignments, along with some final details about submission and such!


So, in summary:

Who: TransFans who are full of the spirit of giving

What: Fanart/Fanfic TF Secret Santa

Where: here on dA!

When: Starting now, I’m taking names for the project! I’ll assign secret santas after the 21st of November. Then you have until 24rd December to finish. A whole month!

How: Join by sending me a note with “TFSS” in the subject line, saying you want to join and containing some of your favorite TF-y things!


ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT! Other people will probably have the same questions, so I will address them all in the public eye, er, optic!





*if you are a deviant who also makes videos (for example on youtube), and would like to make one for your “Santa-ee”, that is fine!
**no adult content! – no extreme violence, no graphic slash, etc. Brandishing weapons and/or cuddling is okay XD

Feel free to mention it to your pals and such, the more the merrier, yes
