Ladies and gentlemen, with the holidays just around the corner, it’s time for the return of our forum's oldest event, the sixth annual Advancers Secret Santa! The whole idea of the Secret Santa is to make a gift for someone, and somebody else will make a gift for you. The rules are simple. 1) The Secret Santa is open to all individuals that have demonstrated active participation in the community, subject to staff discretion. Members will be added to the list of participants at the end of this post once the event-staff confirm their eligibility; any concerns regarding member ineligibility will be addressed via PM. 2) Sign-ups for the event are open as of today, November 22. When signing up, you will be asked to post the following information: - Name:
- A Little Bit About Yourself
- Favourite Things:
- Preferred Gift:
3) The deadline to register for the event is December 4th at 11:00pm MST, as names will be distributed the following day. Due to the nature of the event, we cannot accept late entries. 4) All eligibility requirements must be met between the time sign-ups open and the time names are distributed. 5) Names will be drawn and distributed by the staff ( Dr. Phil E. Sophical ) on December 5th. 6) Gifts should be delivered between December 24th and December 31st, and may be delivered in this thread or by the PM system. If you deliver via PM, please notify the event-staff that you’ve made your delivery. 7) In the event that you are unable to finish your gift by the assigned window, you are responsible for contacting one of the staff members in charge of the event ( Dr. Phil E. Sophical ) to arrange an extension. The length of extensions will be determined on a case by case basis, but will not exceed 3 weeks in any case. 8) If your Secret Santa receives an extension, you will receive notification from the staff. If your Secret Santa fails to deliver the gift within the specified window, and you have received no such notification, contact the staff members in charge of the event. In the event that your Secret Santa does not complete a gift, the staff will make arrangements to ensure that you receive one. 9) Failure to notify the staff of the need for an extension and/or failure to deliver your gift within the specified window (accounting for any extensions received) may result in consequences including – but not limited to – temporary suspension of forum account or bans against participation in future events, which will be determined on a case by case basis. 10) We have an official badge (see below) for members who participate in the Secret Santa event. You will receive the badge upon delivering your gift. A new badge is also in development for those who have already received the current badge during last year's event. Secret Santa Badge: 11) Have fun! While it’s important to keep everything in order, we want you to enjoy the event, and have a happy holiday season. Participants:

So... Is it too late to participate? I know the date was yesterday, so it's okay if you don't! No worries! I thought I might as well participate since I didn't last year. If you are taking the entry, then:
Name: Momo / Aqua
A little bit about yourself: Loser girl from Canada that tries to be sassy but fails most of the time.
Favourite Things: Lemongrass Tea, Comic Books (doesn't matter if its DC, Marvel, or random, gotta read em all), Gaming (Destiny, Final Fantasy, MMO's), Hiking, and Chocolate. <3 I feel like I'm writing a dating profile. Disney shows are my guilty pleasure.
Preferred gift: I would love anything! I'm an easily pleased person. xD Dream gift though would probably be maybe a drawing of me kicking someones butt as a superhero.

Aquadrop already pm'd you but thought I should share it here too. Hey Wifey! I was your secret santa on here. I got you some goodies.
I made an AMV!
The Bloody Hand
"Oh May, my love..."
There he stands on top of the hill - my love, Ash Ketchum. But he's not the man I know, nor is he the man I love. He's been possessed again. I remember this from before. I've heard it's happened more than once. There's something pure and tender about him, he has a heart of gold. He would never be able to impose harm on anyone. Sure there are the battles, but those are different - that's just a sport.
"You're speechless I see? Why aren't you happy to see me? Do you not find me sexy anymore."
"Of course I do." I'm struggling for the right words. I'm alone, no one can mock me but this putrid soul that's invaded Ash's body. "Ash? You don't need to lick your fingers."
"But I had the most tastiest meal."
"I'm sure you did." I don't want to know the details, but judging on the red stains on his coat and bones sticking out his pocket, I'm guessing their humans!
He's an easy target. Wears his heart on his sleeve. A perfect host for a demon to wreak havoc on us mortals. But why...why do they always have to pick on Ash. Well, I'm not having it anymore. They're coming out of Ash's body right now! Even if it means that I have to die, at least he'll be free. And he's been the only guy I've been in love with, but I'm not the only girl who has been in love with him. There will be plenty of beautiful women Ash can call his princess.
And yet he's chosen me.
The howls of the wolves clash with strikes of thunder. Ash tilts over and grins with his arms wide open. In my delicate hands rests an odd keystone. This could be the key to setting Ash free from this wretched spirit. He's smiling with a malice look in his gleeming eyes. A smile devoid of any compassion.
I can see right though this monster. Ash's soul is trapped in the blood soaked clothes. The whispers in the wind beg for me to help. Every whisper is in Ash's voice. I can't deny their pleas. Thier calls. Their invitation.
If this was a fairytale all it would take was a true love's kiss. But this isn't a fairytale...this is a bloody nightmare. Too many people have died to this curse, I can't let them take another. Without a second though I throw the odd keystone on Ash's face and dash towards him. I pull him by the collar and kiss him.
The bloody hand smears blood all over my face. I'm too focused on the kiss. A screeching roar echoes in my ear as the keystone shines and forms a spiritomb. The spiritomb runs away and Ash gasps for air.
"...Ash."
"...May!"
Ash croaks and shakes on the ground. All I can do is hold him in my arms until the epiletic fit calms down. "It's okay." My tears wash the blood away. "You're safe now."
"There's blood!" Ash screams. "What happened? What did I do? How did this happen?"
"It dosen't matter anymore."
In that moment we embraced as is the world was counting on it.
