Okay, this is something I participated in last year with the MSPA forums, and it was actually a lot of fun, so I'm porting it here.
So What Is This Thing, Anyway?
It's a gift exchange, wherein we exchange gifts with each other. (The First Rule of Tautology Club is the First Rule of Tautology Club)
Second Rule of the SCPCAE is that gift-givers will remain a secret until the end. Don't spoil the fun!
What kinds of gifts will be exchanged?
The exchange is for pretty much anything you can give over the internet: drawings, stories, songs, videos, whatever you feel like doing. Only requirement is that you have to make it yourself.
How do I participate?
Just post in this thread saying that you are interested. Your post should also include 1) What you are capable of giving (Example: I will draw or write stories / sing / interpretive dance) 2) A general idea of what you want to receive. (Example: Something involving one of my SCPs / Something involving such-and-such GOI / Cain and Able playing Street Fighter as teens). This is all so I can match people up better.
So how are these distributed?
Upon signing up, you and your preferences will be added to the MASTER EXCEL DOCUMENT OF CHRISTMAS JOY. From this, I will determine pairs for gifting, and will then send the names back to you. Once you are done with your gift, upload it and send me a PM with a link to your gift. I will then send those out to the recipients.
After opening
Once you get your gift, post it in the thread, so we can all see it and have some fun trying to guess who made it.
Tentative dates:
Final Day for Entry: December 7th
Names Will Be Given Out On: December 9th
Due Date: December 23rd
Dispersal of Gifts: December 24th.
