THIS is the Snupin Santa 2008 sign-up post! :D It's not quite the 15th where I am yet, but I figure it's the 15th (or close to it) somewhere in the world, and I didn't think anyone would really mind if I posted the sign-ups a bit early. ;)
PLEASE NOTE: There are sign-up posts at both LJ and IJ. DO NOT sign up at both places. Pick one or the other to leave your sign-up comment. Double sign-up comments will only make things more confusing and difficult for the person who has to match participants (i.e. me).
( The template and other info )Please consider carefully whether you'll be able to follow through if you sign up. If you think you might not be able to finish your gift or if you don't think this fest is really what you're interested in, please don't let yourself get caught up in the squee and/or encouragement of friends. I'd
much rather have the fest filled with people who are
genuinely eager and excited about participating in it, not people who are "meh" and let themselves be talked into it - and especially not people who go into it thinking, "Well, I can always drop out"! Indifference makes for a poor showing and headaches for the fest mod.
I'd advise anyone thinking about participating in gift exchange fests (any of them, not just Snupin Santa) to read
this guide to participating in fests by
r_becca.
As mentioned previously, I'll have help from the Mod Elves of Snupin Santa this year. This year's M.E.S.S. members are
real_life_rosy,
kopernik, and
jedirita. Special thanks also go to
dianamoon for finishing off the 2006 entries on the
Snupin Santa archive!
