View Profile Dear ‘Santa’,
Happy Thanksgiving. Now that that’s over with, Christmas is coming like ninety percent of slashers in eighty percent of horror flicks. We can hear the music growing in frequency and crescendo like a pending shark attack, but rather than facing the holiday with family
or crippling loneliness (let’s face it, most of you are orphans), you can spend it with us at the South Pole.
There will be milk and cookies provided in the cabin, as is tradition, there will be a Secret Santa gift exchange at the party. For registration details, please contact your local arena.
Sincerely,
Damn Dan Van Damme

Some of you may already be familiar with the way I run this, but if not:
All you have to do is say you will be taking part, link your wRHG page, as well as say your location for unwrapping your gift. This will come into play because the people you’re seated around may react to you, and you to them
Nothing too hard, just write two brief stories. First, deciding upon, and acquiring the gift of your choice, and then second, unwrapping and reacting to what you’re given. I will also need a stand alone description of what the gift actually is.
DO NOT POST WHAT YOU WILL BE GIVING ON THIS THREAD. All will be submitted through PM.
The first thing that’s due is the acquiring of the gift story, as well as a detailed account of what the gift actually is, including how it’s wrapped. This is due December 7th. Now, I know a week isn’t much time, but I’m not expecting a novel. A few paragraphs will suffice. If you want to write more though, be my guest.
By the 9th, I will have PMed you what your gladiator will be receiving.
At this point, you can collaborate with the people your gladiator will be with, such as mini RPs if you choose. If not, turn in your entry by the 17th so I can pass it to the people around your guy/girl for little reaction insertions. Anything they add will be shown back to you so you can either reject, green light, or add to it. Things MUST BE IN FINAL FORM BY THE 20TH.
Again, submit by PM so I can organize it and have it posted on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, depending on which one I can slip away for a quick copy paste job.
All submissions will be placed in spoilers with the gladiator’s name being the title of it. These will be organized by location, but only the unwrapping will be posted on Christmas. Who did what will be revealed a week later, so feel free to take guesses and discuss in the meantime!
The gift giving takes place in a cabin in the South Pole. Snow is falling outside and the windows are covered in frost. There are three round tables scattered in the building, all of which are made of wood. Additionally, there is the Christmas tree itself, covered in white lights with a bright star at the top. It is in back left corner of the cabin. Next to it on the back wall is the fireplace, complete with burning logs. It is comfortably warm inside. On the right wall is a long table where the milk and cookies are located.
Your unwrapping options:
Table A
Table B
Table C
Fireplace
Tree
Depending on how many people go where, tables may be combined, as well as the fireplace and tree. You will be notified if things change. If they do, it will be no later than the 2nd, just because by then I am no longer accepting participants and will know exactly what to expect.
What kind of gift can I give?
Doesn’t matter so long as it doesn’t effect anything cannon. You can give anything from a severed head, to a diamond ring, to a bag of chips out of the vending machine. Gifts have ranged from diamond daggers, dead children, a scarf, and a cinderblock
I don’t have a wRHG, can I use something else?
Sure, just make sure it’s actually yours and you have a link to something like a profile page. If you link me a novel that you expect someone to read, I’m rejecting your character.
Can I do multiple?
No, I don’t want anyone getting over ambitious and crashing and burning. Someone’s counting on you to do your part, don’t let them down.
You may have noticed that I don’t change much from year to year. and that’s because I really don’t want to throw a wrench in and break the formula. If there are things you’d like to see changed, I’m extremely open to suggestion, so long as it’s before we get the ball rolling on the 1st.
Happy Holidays as they come,
Crank

View Profile Hohoho. Again first. Of course I will join this(as my life is already empty and boring) so yeah, get ready to slam my name in here.
[thread=103896]My lil Jason[/thread] will of course be taking part in this.
Edit: Oh, I forgot the location. Well I guess table B should do the job.

The link is the "I"... I was afraid you wouldn't see that. She will probably unwrap near the tree.

View Profile So his is just writing about a character reacting to a chistmas gift that has been given to him, right? And also, do the participants meet each other at the cabin, or are they just alone? Forgive me for my stupidity.

View Profile Yeah, pretty much. I'll assign everyone a person to pick for on the 1st, then you'll write a story of your character picking out what gift to get, as well as what the gift is. After that, I'll tell you what you got and you'll write them opening it. That I'll send to the other people at your location so they can edit in their own mini reactions. I've actually got all the past ones linked in the title, if that helps.

Would this not just fit in the main section of Writer's Lounge & wRHG where Friday Funk and some other fun side things happened?

Oh. Okay. I'll sign up with my character, Technix at my test room. I'm going to make him my wRHG, but first, i'l finish his story first. And i'm pretty sure that I can finish this without fucking it up, since it's almost the holydays.

I thought we were pulling away from that since it looked cluttered. That's why I didn't PM ya about this, figured you'd see it when the new subsection gets made. If we're keeping that area then, I'd appreciate a move.
And I need a location, Azarel

View Profile Dumb me. You might have not seen it by now Crank, but I editted my original post choosing location. It of course could be not seen so I will say it here:

I suppose either forum works. I can't remove the Writer's Lounge & RHG" area because it's the parent forum to this one. Both seem to serve the same purpose :p
