It's that time of year again...time for Secret Santa and Advent Calendar!

How they work:

Advent Calendar

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.} A good size is 600x400, but it must still follow GW guidelines for posting pics! Here is an example:

You must PM me your art work by midnight two days before your day is due. If you have Dec. 4th, then I will need your artwork by midnight your time Dec 2nd.

I know this is early, this will not start until Dec. 1st, but I wanted to give everyone plenty of time to decide what they want to do, sign up for it and make sure they can follow through, especially those that pick the first few days in December and also the ones doing Secret Santa.

Let me know what days you want and I will keep the list updated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Secret Santa

Please do not sign up for secret santa unless you are positive you can make something! It is not nice to sign up, get a name and then bail out and not make them something!

You will receive an assignment based on what you like and what you are comfortable making. Below in spoilers is the info fill out sheet for SS. Copy and paste the info sign up into a PM to me. I will leave the sign up open until Nov 22nd or 23rd, and I will have assignments out by Nov. 25th. I want to make sure everyone has plenty of time to make gifts! 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! Any questions you have about your assignment please go through me.

PM all presents to me no later than midnight your time Dec 19. I will hand out presents and reveal secret santas on December 20th so there is plenty of time to enjoy them before Christmas.
You can always PM or visitor message me with any questions.

Good afternoon, Sparkies! Happy Lazy Sunday!

Here's this week's College Football Roundup! It was a good day all around as USC beat Arizona 38-30, Virginia Tech had a bye, New Mexico beat Utah State 14-13, Air Force beat Army 20-3, and Navy upset Memphis 45-20. This morning's PT run will be an easy one.

[Falcon Horus]

It's monday - completely missed Sunday. Slept through it cause getting up at 3 in the morning to catch a flight does that to you really.

I'm on vacation. Tenerife - and it's fabulous!

[Morgania]

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Smutty Tuesday!

So far, all is good...

Excellent!

[Falcon Horus]

Visited a small zoo in the area and posed with an owl, cheek to cheek. He was fluffy but it was a bit scary, his face so close to mine. But the picture turned out great and I love it.

Last year, first time seeing orca's (albeit in captivity), this year up close and personal with bald eagles, owls, harris hawks, vultures, humboldt penguins, sea lions, ... and an iguana. Also, two cuddle-wuddly lions.

Sounds like your having a good time, Falcon.

You're also temping me to make another visit to the Columbus Zoo before it gets too cold.
