>Why should I trust this?
It's up to you. We’ve had multiple successful SS events hosted by us for the past few years.
Although the average amount of people not receiving gifts is low, the risk still exists. Please be aware that your mileage will vary. However, we do provide a grinched protection program which allows people to send gifts to those who didn't receive anything at all... even after X-mas!

///More FAQ///

>Is the price of shipping included in the price tier?
No shipping costs are NOT included in the tier. Make sure to budget in not only shipping/hidden handling costs but the time and effort it takes to create cards and package the gift.
>What tier should I join?
Pick whichever tier you feel most comfortable with, however please be aware that we may switch it depending on our ability to match you.
>When are the threads going to be?
Threads are created only on Fridays/weekends until we get closer to X-mas. The Santas will create them.
>What’s a handmade gift?
Take a look around in the threads. You’ll see plenty of examples of knitting, laser cut wood, horrifying waifu masks, and much much more. People bake cookies/brownies or buy snacks and supply booze local to their country. You may not get out what you put in, but remember that giving is the most important part.

please make sure to use a normal email address to send your sign up. if you're sending from some autistic /g/ domain or mail service there is a chance outlook is just going to defer or reject your mail.


also, a few people have reached out to us regarding this but if you are making something hand made (as in actual crafts and not custom merch), and you would like to specifically be matched with somebody also making something handmade please reach out to us and we can manually match some of these.

I have two Canadian cards that didn't make it last year, I'm scared if I send them to last year's addresses they might have moved, but I never have any luck asking after people the next year. I want to make thank you cards to people from last year too, but my coward ass just can't send things not knowing for sure they'll reach them. How do you guys do it? How do you have the courage to send hours of work out into the unknown where it might not be seen again? Posting photos and saying I definitely did send something isn't the same as knowing it arrived. I want them to have something to hold. Maybe I should seriously reassess how long I'm spending on these things.

Don't remember seeing actual flaws. I keep hearing people bringing up how he betrayed and beat the shit out of Kamille but it always seemed strange how someone who has gone through hell all his life should give a single fuck about a random brat, moreso when dealing with one of his objects of (righteous) obsession.
Char remains likeable because of his charisma throughout 79 and Z. CCA reads like someone had a hateboner for Char while never having actually watched Gundam. For one, his hate for Amuro stems from a multitude of factors and none of them were him killing a mother's day candidate.

>tries to give Kamille advice but not enough to prevent the same things from repeating themselves in this new generation, multiple times (debatable whether you could fault him for this one)
Buddy I still like the guy but he had and has his flaws. I agree that CCA feels like a step back for him, but I also like CCA-inclusive Char as a realistic person. We regress and lash out against people, but he still cares enough about Amuro, whom he was once friends with, to make figurative and literal cries for help out to him. Regarding Kamille, despite being less than perfect of a mentor or father figure, he already cares quite a lot about Kamille and it shows. And if Kamille turning out the way he did was the one that made him outright lose faith in humanity (which is never spelled out in media afiak, apart from a Playstation cutscene showing his reaction), then that's like, dude we've been there. 0079-Zeta Char's a cool guy. 0079-CCA Char's a complex and human character who's still sympathetic and pretty darn cool, and I like both of them. You don't have to like CCA Char and I get why some people wouldn't, but to me, part of really liking a character or a (historical) person is accepting or at least understanding their flaws.

If you've got late cards/gifts, post them in the thread and let archive anon know. They don't even have to be from last year but if they aren't, be sure to tell when they're from so they can be properly sorted.

Yeah, your card made it some time in February. Sorry for taking so long to post it. But thank you so much. The painting of Chilcuck is amazing and I had it on my desk for a few months. I'm glad to be able to display it during Christmas this year. Your shading is really nice, especially the way the blush looks. I almost want to try painting this year, but I can't imagine how much practice I'd need before it looks as good as yours. Tokiyuki(Genba) is also super cute and perfectly smug, just the way I like.
I hope your postage system doesn't shit itself again during Christmas and wish you an early Merry Christmas!

Normally, I start drawing two days after we get our assignments. I need those two days to read the wishlists very carefully, decide which characters I'll draw and how much autism I'll put into those cards. Then around the 15th of November I start sending the cards that are already finished because it's never too early to start sending cards. Even when sending within Yurop, sometimes it takes an entire month for some cards to arrive to their destinations. For some reason. And around the first week of December everything is finished and sent. Then I drink a few beers to celebrate that I'm done and say to myself "Wow, I can't believe I survived one more year".

Especially if they're in Toronto/Ontario

>>283149056
The easiest way is listing let's say 5 - 10 characters or shows you like and maybe adding a sentence or two about why you like them to give your anon some ideas.
For the newfriend categories, I'd probably recommend not going super niche with everything and including at least a few recent series.

You can do either or, it all depends on what you're comfortable with and what your mail system allows.
>>
>>283161801
>>283161815
Honestly, it all depends in how your countrie's mail system works. For example, here at my place they only need your address. A full name is not required unless you're expecting a package or card that comes with tracking. But for normal cards, I would still receive them even if I used the fakest name ever.
TL;DR: You'll have to ask at your local postal office to know how things work at your specific place.
>>
>>283161801
You can use initials or something made up. If you only use initials, I'll make up something because my post office will require a full name. Shouldn't be a problem unless your posties are anal about the name not matching what's on the doorbell, though.

Happens to the best of us. I forgot to include a certain anime that I finished watching two months ago, despite the fact that back then I thought "Man, I need to mention this series on the next /SS/ wishlist". And basically, the lesson here is that I need to start writing my list on January, update it every month, and then send it on October.

Questionable. If you are here, and you decided to become part of the event, that means you believe in your ability to make other people happy with your cards and/or gifts. So at the end of the day, you DO believe in yourself. Or at least, that small part of you that made you want to join this event believes in yourself.

I need to finish a bunch of non gay shows otherwise my main SS list will just read "fundiebol fandussy :DD". I don't trust anons with Apocalypse Hotel jokes. I feel like the girl shows I got really into came too early in the year for my brain to be as excited now.

I really enjoyed it, but the threads were annoying on good days and unusable on others. I have no idea what the guy here is doing or why he called me a schizo, I just don't want to risk cards repeating the thread "memes."
>>
>>283172596
It literally starts off harmless, dips because space refugees are literally shitting up the place, and then it peaks from there and with them being consistently good supporting characters and friends. I already love robots but there was something extremely melancholy about this show. I don't want my robot friends to be alone
>>283172838
I sadly watched it after it was done airing, the hell happened to the threads though?
>>
>>283172363
I'm currently watching it, starting EP 12 in a bit, and really enjoyed it.
Only reactions I've read while passing by some comments as it aired were either "AOTS" or "tanuki ruined it.
They could've perhaps kept the format of the first two episodes, and had the tanuki leave after an episode or two and focused on more strange guests coming to the hotel instead, and perhaps that was what some people would've preferred. But saying they ruined it is an exaggeration IMO.
>>
>>283172918
People screaming that the tanuki were "pajeets", posting india webms and talking about poo every thread the whole way through. This evolved in the final eps into full arguments about whether the show would be better if the tanuki left permanently, then that the title was false advertising because "it's not about the hotel or doing hotel things it's only about the worst characters to ever exist." Lots and lots of "I would have written this better by removing [the main part of the show]." People made some fun dance webm and a reaction guys edit for every ep, so it wasn't all terrible, but others sure shat everywhere and made you walk in it.

If I get the series on anyone's wishlist I am drawing Flycatcher bot in a cute outfit. Staff who man the reception desk must wear sparkle for Christmas.
>>
>>283173222
I think generally the episodes only increased in quality, ep 11 was particularly memorable and melancholy I think.
>Only reactions I've read while passing by some comments as it aired were either "AOTS" or "tanuki ruined it.
I don't know if either of those things are true, it was a seasonal anime that was highly highly worth watching though, you just don't get original content like this anymore.
But yeah, it wouldn't have felt out of place for the tanuki to leave, or only visited now and then, but I appreciated that the hotel felt less lonely. Maybe a few more episodes of a lonely hotel would have been better (and just bump the episode count to 24) but once they stopped LITERALLY shitting up the fucking place, I warmed up to them. Sometimes you just gotta give stinky tanuki a good beating.
>>283173231
What the fuck man
I'm sad I missed out on the webms and edits, but they really weren't that bad
I dislike pajeet immigrants but the tanuki REALLY weren't that bad
>Flycatcher
Weird first choice, but my friend only picked it up because there was a big doorman, and some game she likes had a doorman and they kept posting about the show. But for me, it has to be Yachiyo

Just "0" in the "How many cards do you want to send?" field

and "3" in the "Do you want to participate in Whitelisted Cards?"

That would be swell. I'm definitely putting it on my list.

Exactly. An anime original that didn't jump the shark (shitposters notwithstanding), gotta love those.
>ep 11 was particularly memorable and melancholy I think
Yeah. Ep 9 also kinda hit hard.

A card (or cards) that you can sign up for if you've already participated on a previous year. Also, tracking is required. Or any other form of proving that you did in fact send that card.

I just use a pseudonym. Haven't had to do this yet but if the postal worker asks I'll just say it's my "girlfriend's package and she isn't here right now"

Thank you, your parcel arrived in late January, and the original card in all its glory somewhere in March. Paying that much for the parcel express delivery was above and beyond what you’d have to do though. The snacks were really nice, I enjoyed the different flavors!
I really love the card, the cute Louise and the way you combined some of the other characters from my list. Your drawing style is great, the girls are all very cute. Your grandma’s story as a 4koma is really funny. I fully agree about Eva, no matter how many times I watch it there is always some new detail I discover. The only question remaining is: Did you get around watching ZnT or Bakuon?
I hope you’re gonna have a great festive season and merry Christmas!

>oh were there any actually good seasonal anime I watched this year (I generally forget to pick up any)
it would definitely be something I'd remember and look back fondly on. Might even rewatch it now and then if the mood was right.

Yeah. It's not what I was expecting from the show and I was deeply hoping for my instincts to be wrong. But it was a good episode. And a good send off.
I miss my gran. ;_;

Glad that your card finally made it to you!

AS of Ireland I got your card back from UPS in March or April. Looks like customs or UPS opened the card, presumably to try to figure out how to get it to you. So someone there probably now knows you're a Bible Black enjoyer. But sorry to say that you won't be receiving the chocolates and the ornament.
I can try resending it this year if you're participating again, just the card this time. Or I can just post it here for you.
