Took longer than I expected, but I finished mine, just now and sent it in. I lost track of my photobucket account, so I stashed it via my Deviant Art account- I won't upload it to my works proper until after this event is done.
Kind of a funny story of how it turned out, but that can wait for a bit later.

And I'm done! Two days left to get yours in if you're still working!

I was determined this year to avoid rushing on the due date like every other year, but alas, strange prompts and other business pushed my starting to the 20th and I just now sent it in. So it goes. Good luck to anyone else aiming to finish today. Merry Christmas to all! Looking forward to seeing this year's turnout.

Less than twelve hours remain! Looks like this Secret Santa badge is going to be pretty rare this year unless about half of the participants all manage to pull through at the last second. If I can do it working out of some random strangers' house at the tail end of hell week at work, using nothing other than the junky crap art supplies my friends sent me for Christmas, then you can do it too! You've totally got this, everyone! This is a pep talk, by the way. Just, uh, clarifying.

My most sincere condolences for your loss... I lost both my grandfathers, and one grandmother... these past 17 years...

Loken, you have my condolences as well. Losing a grandparent sucks. Don't worry about us, just head off and be with your folks and all that. Pen, you have...no excuse. But hey, you actually admitted you forgot, which is awesome. I always like it when people admit they've forgotten their deadlines. It's all the more common to just see 'em slip off and try to sneak by unnoticed. Wish I could give you a badge for that, since this world needs more blunt honesty. Tell you what, for those of you without devastating family emergencies who haven't made it in yet, if you scrawl something up in a day and send it straight to fAB before it goes up, that's fine, too. Rush job = pushing yourself artistically. You might get a late badge because the award system now involves me writing up a JSON file and fAB putting that file on the main site. Yay, V5.

I add my thoughts to everyone else's, Loken. I definitely don't think anyone is going to blame you for a missed entry under the circumstances. Best wishes to you and your family.

As someone who lost their grandfather last Christmas, I know how you're feeling Loken. Take care of yourself, and remember that we're here if you need; I think most of us would be willing to do whatever we could to make things easier on you.

There's not much I can add, but you have my condolences as well, Loken. Well, I sadly don't think I'll be able to "scrawl something up," because I'm going to be with family for the next week or two. But I can't wait to see everyone else's entries!

No, this isn't some heartless attempt to desensitize the situation with the usage of a "meme video", so please don't hold it against me. Loken, you have my heartfelt sympathies for the tragic loss of your grandfather, especially at such a time like this. I'm sure Dashe will be more than willing to give you a special extension for the Secret Santa, too. But that's beside the point. Take as much time as you need to recuperate from your loss, and know that we'll always be here for you.

Very sorry to hear about your loss, Loken, and at this time of the year too, that really is rough.
