Wait, wait. Secret Santa?
- Basically, this is akin to Kris Kringle / Exchange Gifts. In this case, we'll exchange fanart / fanfictions.
All participants fill in the "prompt" with what they would like to receive -- Then it'll be shuffled around; with the participants NOT revealing the name of the person they got. Participants shall fulfill the request they got, and in turn, someone will fulfill their "prompt".
Things will remain anonymous until the date of the revealing. Hence the name Secret Santa.

RULES:
- Since you "requested" for a Fanart / Fanfiction, you must fulfill someone else's request.
- For Fanfiction, there is no maximum word count/pages, but it must be AT LEAST 2 PAGES LONG -- unless the request assigned to you asks for multiple drabbles. It can be one-shots or multi-chaptered, just make sure that it is finished, spell-checked, beta-read and in .DOC format by the time you submit it.
- For Fanart, have it in the best quality that you can afford it to have. Any form of media is allowed; unless otherwise specified by the request.
- If what you have made/requested for has Mature Content, please indicate/place a warning beforehand.
- DO NOT POST/UPLOAD YOUR FANART/FANFICTION ANYWHERE UNTIL THE DATE OF THE REVEALING.
After the revealing, go ahead and post it wherever you'd like to post it.

I WANT TO PARTICIPATE!
- ANYONE is allowed to participate~! Whether they're members of this club or not; as well as non-dA people but they are willing to participate.
Since this will be an anonymous exchange, please SEND A NOTE to the club or to ~suzaku18, or AN E-MAIL to ice_suzaku18@yahoo.com. It should have the subject heading "I would like to participate", along with your prompt & e-mail address (and alias, if you want to).

After the sign-ups, you will be contacted to confirm the prompt you have sent together with the prompt/request that you will do.
