All right gang. I'd love for this shop to run an event or two for the Holidays. I figure mash in Thanksgiving (remember last year? We gave away our arrogant turkey, Gamvial!), Christmas (yay for candid shots!)and New Years (remember our lil' party? Savius was still an avian!).

Since all of our time is limited, I'm hoping everyone who stops at the Birdcage (or RP's there) can come together to have a few great RP's and some fun. The thing is, I may need some help. Doesn't matter if you're an artist or not, I'd love to have a few events to include Guardians, OC's and lurkers!

So here are a few ideas I've come up with:

There will be an ORP Holiday Party. Nikel's going to make this a formal masquerade affair so dress your kids and teens up and get them hopping! Might start introducing a few meta-plot ideas (if I can get everything ironed out) during this too! If any lurkers/passer-by's drop by, there may be a Feeding to happen in the mix too! We shall see, we shall see.

During this event, I may do a few mini-events to keep things moving.

As in: Kareoke of Holiday Tunes! ((Haha - we'll see if enough egg nog in people can get guardians/companions/guests to sing!))

Best Christmas Outfit (You can either draw your companion/guardian/OC in an outfit, hire someone to draw them, or maybe model them up through avatars on Gaia, or whatever. Just a little dressy contest - give away prizes and stuff)

Gift Exchange: This can be done IC (and OOC too if you'd like). Either do it openly ICly [if there's enough interest] or perhaps do some sort of Secret Santa? Get people who are interested in participating, put names in a hat (both OOC and IC perhaps) and maybe do a simple gift exchange? Again - details can be worked out depending on interest.


So yeah.

As for OOC events, along with this, I will be drawing little chibi-penguin holiday items for sale. There will be a few different versions - a santa version, a candy-cane version, and a jingle bell version. Maybe a reindeer version too, if I think about it.

I will also be giving away gifts to people. These won't open until around/after the Holidays [I PROMISE this time!].

But there will be S.S's for sale too. I would like some help with this. If anyone would like to draw little gifts/plushies/whatever their heart desires, I'll give them costs for however many of their gifts we can sell/give away. I'm thinking maybe 500g or 1K depending on the gift/item in the secret box. So I may need some volunteers to help with artsy-stuff.

Secondly, there will other presents for sale too. This is going to be good for anyone (but especially hopeful future-Guardians!). For 1-2K a gift, I'll be giving away other gifts. You can buy for yourself or another (no limit), and somewhere in the mix there will be a Bird!

There will be other nifty surprise gifts too, a little bit cooler than the cheaper S.S. gifts and stuff, but yeah.

Yay for lots of gifty-things this Holiday!

If I can't get any help anywhere, that's fine too. I don't want to obligate anyone or burden people. Details will be ironed out this weekend (I hope) and if anyone has any suggestions for things they'd like to see happen, or if anyone may want to help run some of the smaller events, please let me know!

I'd love to hear what you guys think!

Post ideas/suggestions/comments/concerns etc. etc. here in the guild or in the thread (though I may miss it if it's in the thread).

Thanks guys!

Oh, and if this doesn't make much sense, it's late, I'm tired. x3

I can't draw, but I am good at text formatting, organizing things, and keeping roleplay going. 3nodding

ALl right - since the Holidays are fast approaching, (school work or not) I need to get on our Event Planning. Just as a forewarning, with Finals devouring my soul, we may not get in to Full Holiday Swing until the middle-ish of December.

But!

I thank everyone who offers to help! Together we'll make this one rockin' Holiday Event!

SO!

From what I recollect (and I can guarentee that's not a lot) I'd like to give whoever may be willing to help a task or two.

Donna the Vixen: You were kind enough to offer to help write up desciptive intro/welcoming posts for various events and possible ORP's. I'd like to hand you that task (since sometimes with juggling 80-billion NPC's AND my PC characters, I get lazy with writing. =_= wink I'll PM you the few events I will be having planned, and give you further instruction soon. That is, if you wouldn't mind helping me out. :3


(All of you can say no to this, if you wish!)


Aurora Fiara - You said you preferred not to draw but would like to event manage. Well I think that's a fantastic idea~! You're certainly around enough, it would save me a lot of grief (since my schedule's so cramped/varied at times thanks to school!) As with Donna, I'll PM you shortly [once I figure out what events may or may not take place!] and give you more specific details.

Now, the rest of you asked to help and now I'm not sure what to say!

Aaron Arrikanez, Syrcaid, Nozomi, Camberly, Creme and Queen of Speeders (and anyone else who feels like volunteering arty things) :

To you guys, I'll probably PM you with various art tasks. I have in mind a few ideas that may require some cooperation.

I'd like to do sort of a Secret Santa Art Exchange - for EVERYONE whose lurked/plays in our thread. This includes our faithful lurkers that make themselves known (like [Dg] and Donna and Camberly etc. etc.)

If people could please PM me with the name(s) of people who they may want to draw artsy gifts for. (Unless it's me, then I don't want to know. x3) I may offer a specific request for some of you - i.e. some art for the holiday thread(s) and/or for a person who might have been over looked.

You all don't have to draw EVERYONE something (unless you're feeling super generous!) but this means everyone will get at least a little something come the Holidays . . . and no one will know from who until Christmas!


So yeah.

The medium/gifts/whatever can be in any style, needn't be coloured, etc. etc. Just whatever your little heart desires! And if/when I DO hand out names, if you get stuck or need suggestions, feel free to PM me and we'll see if we can't work something out. And don't worry - everyone will get their rightful credit for their work!

.open ended.


These are some artsy things that I would like to request-ish for whoever feels the urge to give. ^_~; Call this an Art To-Do list that I may (or may not) have time to get to. If you see something on here that you think you'd like to tackle in your free time, just let me know via PM or in this thread and I'll cross it off the list.

.welcome banners for individual threads: These are the few that I WILL be making regardless.

Masquerade Christmas Party < - - pretty straight forward event. Will be taking place in the basement of Jojo's apartment complex like last years party.

Christmas Gift Exchange < - - - This may be IC may be OOC - not sure but I'd like a place to stick up all the purdy christmas presents! So everyone can see them, and I'll be able to slowly add more and more as the seasons progresses.

Kareoke Time! . . with Death and Feathers?! < - - - Haha. Yes, there will be holiday nuggets in here. This one's going to involve christmas tunes + death. See how creative people can get by altering christmas tunes to fit the Birdcage, it's Guardians, its Companions, and death in general. May run a contest or two during this, just to get people to actually enter.

.gift boxes. - I have a few boxes drawn up on this end, but if we really want to be creative, if you send me one or two box jpgs or whatever, I can "package" all of the S.S. gifts and such. Put different pieces of art in different boxes, and we'll all be happy!

.any thing your heart desires. - Anything else you guys want to see put up, just let me know or send it to me.


For now, this is it. Any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask or drop me a line via PM!

All right kids - D's running short on time 'til Christmas and running short on time in general thanks to school! I have some Secret Santa goodness that's going to be happening but I'm going to change things.

Instead of people letting me know who may be interested, who wants to do what I'm just going to open things up. There are going to two gift exchanges. . . sort of.


The First Secret Santa is going to be a little on the OOC side. Anybody who wants to be included in the gift exchange PLEASE PM me with the acknowledgement. I need to know by midnight on December 10th - this way I can randomize all the numbers and let people know who their gift exchange is going to be.

Gifts can be anything, of course, and I do mean anything. Art, be it your own or puchased, items, gold, a story about their character, a story about them, a little holiday note, etc. etc. etc. Whatever your little heart may desire.


The second Secret Santa will be the same thing but will take place IC - so those without Guardians, I apologize, but this excludes you. I need to be PMed again, by December 10th so I can randomize the IC Secret Santas.

I don't know how some of the Guardians of Death will come up with buying things for others, considering some of them plum don't care but . . . . you can be creative with the thoughts and ideas.

Christmas Party will be set up shortly! Be on the lookout Donna/Aurora - information will be in your inboxes soon!

On another note - you don't have to feel limited to just the name you recieve if you do decide to join. You can make gifts for everyone if you choose, I don't mind at all! :3

Sorry for the shake up on events - I didn't think school was going to destroy me like it had earlier. BLAH!

I will still be offering S.S.'s for sale, as well as the Super Secret Santa's like I had originally. I just have to find time to finish CGing everything. x3 Anyway . . . yeah.

Right now, all I need to know is who may be interested in the exchange. PM me or you'll not get on the list!
