As far as I can tell, only I know who's assigned what on the full scale. So PMing your finished assignment to me is most ideal.

Right. I'll be doing that, then. Almost came together in an instant, save for one thing.

So, who do we send the projects to, once they're finished? To Mikey. He's in charge of this session of SS.

It's been super quiet out there. There's officially less than a week left before the deadline! No pressure though!

THE PRESSURE. MUST. FINISH. IN. TIME.
No seriously, I barely began thanks to some RL misfits, and I don't think I will be done anytime soon. So if anyone out there is lagging behind... uh... don't do it. I left everything for last day in the previous Secret Santa and I didn't make justice to my assignment so... yeah.
Also whenever you are planning requires more time than just do it all at once (mine does), whatever the time you think you need to finish it... double it and evaluate if you have enough time to the deadline.
That is all. Tuga out. *goes back to his own assignment*

I've personally worked a crapton on my assignment so far, and I've been taking the last couple days easy as a break. I don't think I'm quite done yet, but I can say that I'm easily over halfway. I'm a bit disappointed that I'm not going to be able to do more with my assignment than what I originally wanted to, but it'll definitely be unique and impressive in its own right. Just gotta manage the last few days wisely.
I believe three people have submitted their assignments to me already, so out of 13, that's nowhere close to half. So you're probably not alone by any means on strained time management. It's why I'm going to be revealing how long the grace period for turning in assignments is on the 22nd.

Mine's off to Mikéy!
I had a heck of a time with that assignment. I had all these cool ideas for potential mediums/styles that I could use, but none of them were suited to the request I was handed. Trying to come up with some other unique way to present it while figuring out what the heck it should look like was indeed quite the challenge. In the end I think I spent about five times longer dwelling on it and experimenting with failed attempts as I did on the finished product.
Such is life.

I still need to go buy my VERY EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT and charge it to the MMLS staff account.

Finished mine last night and just sent it off to Mikéy--meaning I finally succeeded in not rushing to finish and submit on the due date! I believe confetti is in order. Possibly fireworks as well. The prompt and premium requirement combination really rubbed my lacking artistic ability in my face and left me drowning for ideas, but it managed to turn out interesting, I think. Best of luck to everyone with their assignments, and merry Christmas!

My plans were contradicted over and over again. Sheesh. Still I managed to finish it in time and with a smile in my face. I am still sad that I couldn't do how I originally want to... that will be explained after the exchange. For now. I am FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE... oops. I still had to send it. There we go. XD

Well, this is interesting. A challenge is a challenge though. I'm in!Another one of Rock's "Accidents"Rereading this thread I realized that the usual 'mature content' clause isnt specifically mentioned in the rules this time.

It's mentioned in the rules for the forum, so that's more of a common sense implication that spreads to all events. I don't believe there's ever been any explicitly "mature" Secret Santa interpretations, and I don't believe there ever will be, making mention of the clause moot. As for the main point of my post, the official deadline for submissions is going to be by the afternoon of the 23rd, more specifically, 10am PST / noon CST / 1pm EST. I'm not great with time-zone conversion outside of the U.S. zones; otherwise I would list more. However, this is also why I suggested getting your assignment turned in before the end of the 22nd so you don't have to worry about the official end time. I expect a few more submissions tomorrow!
Alright, I stuck this thread back as an announcement so it's a bit more easily accessible since it's crunchtime, and that fated day is arriving on swift wings. There's still a few stragglers out there, but for the most part, this event's been very fruitful! Good job everyone! To the stragglers: There's approximately thirteen hours left until the submission deadline. I did say take your time in the beginning, but now the pressure's on. You can do it though!
(What, is everybody too good for this thread? You guys are killing me with these reposts.) Well, I've made a list, I've checked it thrice, and unless I'm reading it wrong somehow, it looks as if Everybody was successful in turning something in on time!I'm a bit shocked. Just the teeniest bit, mind you. I wonder what I did differently that caused this to come about. Everybody deserves to give themselves a pat on the back. In the past few years, there always seemed to be at least one failure on somebody's part, but this is definitely worth celebrating over. Congratulations everyone!

HUZZAH. IT IS THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT THAT HELPED EVERYONE RIGHT?... right?
Anyway, I hope that everybody had fun doing their assignments. Because if you didn't then what's the point? And now the wait begins... although it is still only a day away but who can wait?

Wow, that's new. Though the fact that everyone who participated this year has earned a Secret Santa badge before definitely helps.

^ I hadn't realized, very observant. Certainly does increase the likelihood of reliability.
Well done everyone, for making it on time and for the artwork itself. I've seen them all now and they look good!
