assignments are out!We've reached out to some of you with updated assignments after we had to shuffle a few things around. Please check your emails! you all should be good to buy things now (but double check if you've been re-assigned or not first)We've had a few people get their assignments sent to their spam folder, so if you're missing your assignments please check there or reach out to us and we can forward you another copy
Please forgive me anon, I'm fucking retarded. I don't know for sure, but there's a good chance the pen I used to write your adress on the envelope bled through to the artwork on your card. If there's black ink smeared across your waifu's face please pretend she just had too much fun whipping the chocolate cookie batter OR SOMETHINGFUCKdon't be like me, anons, please
We've also relayed a few shipping/list related questions to people from their santa.If you have any questions about your giftee's lists, feel free to ask in this thread or send them to us and we can relay them.
My anons will love their cards.
Looking for your initials? https://www.fattycontest.com/santa/
A week has passed and 1 card is done. 18 more to go. See you next Christmas
>>292109631A week has passed and 0 cards are done. 9 more to go. See you next Christmas.
My initials. Now.
>>292109876No initials for you until you start drawing your cards.
>>292109934but two of my cards are already in the mail
>>292110009Wow, that was fast. I'm still reading and watching some of the things that my anons mentioned.
>>292110377I'm unemployed as fuck, but still, I'm doing all that before anyone has even acknowledged my existence, I feel stupid
2011 - 2026 /ss/ photo albums of cards and giftshttps://pastebin.com/KiFBcHRM
>>292110468Nah, don't feel stupid. You're a good person, you're doing the right thing.
Tomorrow I am baking batch of cookies for ME so I can make sure the recipe is perfect and convert my shorthand into actual measurements to include on the card. Not gonna post initials because I want my anon to be surprised by this part of the gift >:) he already said no allergies, but I'm not putting any nut-type stuff in anyways!
>>292110977For second I thought you were doing the cookies for someone with the initials "ME".
ZS from GreeceForgot to ask last week, but is it ok to send you cookies from the states to go along with a card? Or would you get slapped with fees for that?
WS from PAdo you have any favorite mobile suits, and do you have a list of any kits you already have? any allergies?
>>292111061Lol my bad i can see how that's misleading lol shouldn't have capitalized it or should have used "myself"
Post christmas /a/ imagesI don't have alot and need to build my folder
>>292111382anon keep it /a/
MB from GermanyDo you have a favorite Mushoku Tensei girl?
CD from CA, USAam I to assume your favorite frieren and bocchi the rock characters are frieren and bocchi? you didn't name any characters for those shows like you did for all your others, so I assume they are. do you like fern and stark? do you like sick hack?
So what's the best Uma? My anon never answered me.
>>292111464>>292111631don't you think anons leave it open on purpose? maybe they like the surprise or want to see what you like
Dropped over a hundred dollars on card supplies, at least I will be fairly stocked for next year as well.
>>292111928I'm lucky cause my parents actually bought all my ingredients for my cookies. Partially because I'm also going to send a batch to my brother's family later on in the year, but they ended up spending $25 or so on the various chocolate chips I need alone lmao. I think the actual batch of cookies is gonna be roughly $8-10 worth or something? Idk. But I'm also printing out some stuff for the card, so I'll end up going "overbudget" here
>>292111631Not your anon (sadly) For me it's #cutecurrenchan
>>292111902No.
>>292111631>gacha slopmail a dead horse instead
>"My waifu is [A NAME THAT'S USED IN AT LEAST TEN ANIME]">no mention of what anime it isI'll make a card featuring the most obscure one.
>>292111928I was surprised by how much I spent on card supplies last year, though it wasn't quite in the same range.Materials for the handmade gift added up quickly this year because I didn't have all the tools and had to buy everything from scratch. Luckily, I was prepared for that.
>>292112194did they not list their full name?
>>292112260No.
>>292112194Is it Sakura?
>>292112194Draw as many of them as you can on the card and hope you got the right one in there.
>>292112498Include a colored penicl so anon can circle the one they want!
>>292111382i laughedmy humor is fucked
>>292112194only correct response
>>292110977same on cookies but I'm freezing mine so I can bake them closer to christmas.
>>292112194If it's going to an Aussie this is your own fault for not reading the threads on top of being this new
Every vaguepost ITT is about me
>>292113554Wtf anon you're not giving your anon fresh cookies??
>>292109876tomorrow I promise
I am somehow done with all my drawings and base cards. I do not look forward to the handmade part of the gift.
>>292115500I need to get started on mine, I'll probably make some stickers.
JG from Hong Kong, I have 80% of your gifts, the last 20% should hopefully arrive within the next week and I'll aim to send it all out on the 20th.
48 days!
WU from VACP from VAGot your assignment! I think I might have two others coming as well but maybe not, since my situation has been a bit irregular.You guys have impeccable taste, look forward to my silly arts and crafts project.MK from Canada (homo)I watched a movie for your card but didn't understand a thing, I might be a brainlet...
>no initialsWow my taste must be garbage.
>>292116225Not seeing your initials must mean that your anons are very, very busy working on your cards and gifts!
>>292116181A lot of stuff that gets introduced isn't followed up on until the 2nd/3rd movies. Mononoke in general is extremely indirect/abstract/esoteric though, it clearly draws on a lot of points of Japanese folklore/culture that it assumes the audience is innately familiar with. The series might have been a better start point, although there are some arcs there I still don't fully unserstand
>>292110535Still patiently waiting for my anons from last year to post their cards
>>292116506dude, they're dead, move on.
>>292116568We're all dead inside. But some are dead on the outside too.
>>292112194Now that I read about this, I just realized one of my anons (the same one maybe?) did this too. I assumed which character he meant and made a card so I might have picked the wrong one.
>>292116925Can't wait for that anon to receive five cards featuring the wrong Mahoro.
>>292117003kek, yeah it is him
>>292117034Honestly, even without asking him I would assume that he was talking about the maid because who in their right mind would include a character from MHA on his list.
>same Anon as last year>want to ask him some additional questions but also don't want to spoil that I'm his santa againOh well, maybe I just wing it
where are the santa hats?
>>292117338In your heart
>>292117338You can look for them on previous year's threads.
MC from Franceheheheheheheheheehehhee frog hehehehehehehehehehehehhehe reps honhonhohonhonhonADL from Toto's greatest hit>likes vocaloid>has a bike>it's not a YamahaMiku is destitute and it's your fault. I was going to avenge her by using finger paints for your card but coming across Haganai is pretty rare nowadays and you've given me a reason to finally watch Clock Rin's (Sex) anime so you barely held the line.JH from OK>hag loverMy condolences, hope it gets better.I started watching keroro and while it's a mixed bag for me, all the girls thus far are top cute.JM from AZI'll be viciously flatforming the girls from your list and you can't do anything about it. Count your blessings that I can't draw for shit or I'd be making them concave.WG from PolandI wish I could say I'm sorry, but I really REALLY am not.CF from downUnderSorry to crush your linework dreams but I have Mesousa levels of dexterity so I'd advice you keep a small bag(heh).Everything will be filled with love and passion so rest assured you're in [...] hands. I also have both terrible and slightly ok news to share.I will (again) be trying something new for my cards?! Knowing how stubborn I can be, I apologise to everyone (except you) for what they are about to receive and truly hope they signed for more than one card.On the bright side everyone is getting snacks and an omake just like before! If you have any snack proclivities I may be able to accommodate make sure to reach out, give me a quadruple genuflect and I'll maybe consider it (fufufu).
>>292117451If you are outside EU, think twice before sending snacks to EU
>>292117451don't think, just do it.
>>292117338Found them.
>>292117665thanks
>>292111085I order stuff all the time so fees have become the bone of my sword at this point. Feel free to send anything ya want, I'll definitely be happy to receive it.
>>292116925>>292117003>>292117034I'm truly never escaping from this fuck up.
>>292116925>>292117003>>292117034Perhaps she is Hamasaki Mahoro. She plays a bass, anon's list also includes Bochi which means he enjoys music anime. It makes perfect sense!>>292118069We don't know if it is you yet Australian anon
>>292117720Expect some cookies in the coming weeks then! They'll be a bit hard as I'd only send shelf-stable ones 'cross the ocean, but should be perfectly suitable for dunking.
>>292118069>>292118246I think the obvious solution here is to draw the Mahoro from MHA dressed like a maid and playing a bass.
>>292118446Ok now we're getting somewhere.
>>292118477A shame that this aussie guy is not one of my card anons because I would absolutely do that and then write on the letter "sorry anon, please be more specific next time".
>>292118665I'm honestly surprised I didn't fix it for the card list after this exact situation happened two years ago. Like I fixed it for my gift wishlist but for some inexplicable reason I didn't fix it for the card one. Maybe Moot was right, we really are the worst.I find this shit funny as fuck so I'll accept whatever punishment is funniest.
I haven't watched most anime in the lists I got, feeling like a tourist.
>>292110535whats with the borb?
>>292119174These captchas are really getting out of hand.
>>292119116Be like me, use Secret S/a/nta as an excuse to watch things that you had never watched before. I'm currently watching Dungeon Meshi because one of my card anons really likes that shit.
Are colored pencil leads supposed to break off if you so much as look at them the wrong way, or is it because I'm using cheap stuff?
Reposting homo initials in case not seen last week.BR in CAI am brainstorming your card. You gave me some good ideas I am excited to draw!AM in FLImpressed that someone (you) still remembers Air Gear. Ya-ha! Nice to see another Eyeshield 21 fan! Good taste. I will enjoy making your cardMK in SKYou were a card santa for me last year, I hope to be as good as you were. Currently still brainstorming your card but I think it will come out wellTM in CAWhat is Reigen? Regardless, I have fun ideas for your card and will be working on it soonI hope to have all cards sent out around American Thanksgiving.
I read some doujins featuring Anon's waifu. As a research, you know
I…I still haven’t even put pencil to paper
>>292119514You can't masturbate to anon's waifu. That's immoral.
>>292119565Ganbatte, anon-kun.Same for me. I started working on my gift though, and if all goes well, it should be finished this weekend.
I haven't bought any gifts yet because I only get my next paycheck next Friday
>>292120403lol poor
Gonna pick up some of these to make my cards so they'll all be coated in a layer of my spit. Make sure to kiss them for the indirect kiss
>>292119337Either buy better pencils or treat the ones that you currently have more gently.
>make white list cards first>leave regular cards and homo cards last>get better as it goeswelp, white list cards are relatively worse looking compared. Sorry anons but at least you are getting some extra goodies
>>292119664If you listed your waifu I will masturbate to her and rate the fap out of 10 in the card
JM from AZ, do you really like everyone from LWA?
>>292119449>What is Reigen?Not him but gotta be the one from Mob Psycho, surely.
>anon hasn't responded to my questions about his list in the threads or via the santasshould I be concerned?
>>292121590Sorry, I missed it. What was the questions?
EM from SwedenI'll start work on your gift next weekMV from UKWG from PolandTB from IrelandYour cards will also be started soon
>>292121401
So im in one of the higher tiersI found a daki of my anons favorite waifu for close to my budget.I was going to buy it when I saw it was the pillowcase only.If I wanted to pillows as well it would be almost twice the budget.Is it appropriate to send the daki pillow case or should I find something more complete?
>>292122036I would likely ask my anon first and confirm first if he is ok with such a... unique gift.>$500 for pillows and pillow casesI am no buyfag but do buyfags really? Is that a normal price? Make sure you are not overpaying. Tbh I would be disappointed if I received a pillow as a gift in a high tier
>>292122036>$500>random arbitrary 50% offI think you might be getting taken for a ride bro
>>292122036>>292122116$500 for a pillow is a scam, you can get very professional and reliable pillows with deeper research or asking questions here because… many of us (me included) buy it. I don’t know where that anon is but don’t buy one if they live in UK, Australia or USA because those countries are very anti-anime friendly.
>>292122036A legitimate Japanese daki will be 50x160, not 50x150. I've also never seen a legit daki being sold with an inner pillow included. You're being izzat-extorted, buddy.
>>292122259No It looks like a normal size pillow and case on other websites is about 100 total. So a unique sized one that requires 4 pillows while on the pricer end looks about right.
>>292122036>>292122116A pillow should not be that expensive, but the thing says 4x so it looks like it's adding 4 pillows to your order. While nowadays due to tarrifs japanese inners can be very expensive because of shipping, US ones like Dakimakuri run you about 100-145 depending on the type of pillow you get, not counting shipping. Western covers also typically run at ~75. Again with tarrifs covers from Japan can be expensive but depending on the cover but rarely (if ever) that much.Use daki.info if you want info on where to buy stuff.
damn, this could have been this year's "artbook", why did he had to ask first
>>292122036>>292122351I think your problem is using shitty sites. Buy inners from jp amazon for jap dhr series or dakimakuri for western ones (they're both good). Jap covers you can find on Mandarake or Yahoo auctions jp. Dakimakuri and Cuddly Octopus are western that have fairly good covers as well.
Im pretty sure the 4x pillows are needed because of the uniqueness of the size
>organize a Canadian exchange to show those dang dirty trolls that not everything that touches Canada turns to incompetent wheel-spinning shit>never send out assignments for the Canadian exchange, just to difficult to group up the whopping 4-5 people involved Great job!
>Think anon is getting scammed>Somehow found a Miia daki cover they sold at one event like 10 years ago, that was $800Are you sure you're not getting scammed?
>>292122494i could make one but too late now
>>292122590Not too late, it’s only been a week.
