Hi Guys!! Hope everyone that celebrates Halloween had a great one yesterday! Big thanks to Dragongirl for helping me out and posting the challenge entries, I had to bail out last minute and she was right there to help me!
I have a lot of things to say this time, but I will try and keep this as short as I can.....
First, I am posting the challenge early so you have an extra day or two this time to work on it. This week, we're going to do a little bit of housekeeping. I know every single one of you [me included] has a project they are working on, or have started, and never finished, or possibly could never get started. This week your challenge is TO FINISH IT! If you are that rare person who does not have an unfinished or un-started project lingering, then make something wonderful you've always wanted to try and show it off! If that still fails to inspire you, make something with a moustache for Movember.
Entries are due to me Monday noon your time November 10th.

Since it is Nov 1st, it is time to start thinking about the holidays. For the past 3 years, we have done a Secret Santa. I would love to do it again this year. Secret Santa works like this:
You will receive an assignment based on what you like and what you are comfortable making. There will be a sign up sheet where you list your thunks/fandoms, what you want and what you can make. You will receive someone to make gifts for based on mutual likes and dislikes.
Assignments are handed out right around the end of November/Thanksgiving so you have plenty of time to work on them. I usually collect them around the 15th-20th of December so I can hand them out before Christmas.
What you make depends on who you get, but a minimum of 2 pieces of art is required. This can mean an avi and matching sig. For fan fic, this means 2 drabbles [500 words or less each] OR one longer one at least 1500 words or more. If you want to make more, please do! But limit of ten please. This is all secret, so no telling who you got!
If you are interested in secret santa, please let me know. But please note that when the actual time to sign up comes, do not sign up unless you are 100% sure you can make something for someone. It is not nice to bail out. Someone will be working hard to make something nice for you, and then when you bail, the person you were assigned is left with nothing. Not nice!

Last year, we also did an advent calendar, and it was a huge hit. Here is how the advent calendar works:
Sign up for one, two or three days in December that you want to do art. The theme is Christmas or Holiday. You may use any thunk, any fandom or any ship as long as it is Christmasy or Holidayish. It must also include the number of the day you signed up for. {if you sign up for Dec. 4th, it must have a number "4" on the art somewhere.} I also need the artwork 2 days before your day. So if you pick the 4th, I would need it on the 2nd.
If you are interested in doing the advent calendar, please let me know.

Sorry for the long post, lots of info!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
