WELCOME
Gilmore Girls Santa is a Secret Santa community for the exchange of virtual gifts within the Gilmore Girls fan base. The idea of this community was taken from pb_santa, run by the lovely lady_iz and angelicus who took it from vm_santa & btvs_santa.

SIGN-UPS FOR SECRET SANTA 2007 ARE NOW CLOSED!
if you entered, you will receive an e-mail shortly stating your giftee and you may start making their gift/teaser gift!
if you didn't manage to enter, look out for next November, because i sincerely hope we'll continue this tradition!

HOW IT WORKS
Post your wishlist during November (please follow the instructions below) and you will be given the name of another community member who has also posted their wishlist. And your name will go to someone, and so on, and so on.. Any type of created gift is acceptable to ask for: fanfic, banners, icons, wallpapers, videos, music mixes, etc.
Posting a wishlist automatically means, that you will have to be a secret santa for someone else.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Join this community, then make a new post containing your wishlist between November 5 and November 30, 2006. Please use the following format:

MY WISHLIST
-name
-email address where we can send your giftee If you prefer not to post it in public, please email it to us (with your LJ name) at pb.santa@gmail.com.
-what I want Be as specific as possible. Want fic? Then make sure you state what kind and what characters you prefer. Want graphics? What kind.. what characters do you like? The more specific you are and the more you ask for, the better the odds that you'll get fabulous gifts that you've always wanted!
-what I can do What do you prefer creating? Fic, icons, graphics in general, videos? Help us give you an assignment you'll be comfortable with.
-what I absolutely won't do If there's a character, pairing, or genre you can't write, or if you think you'll only be able to make graphics, etc., say so here.
-are you willing to provide a backup contribution? Yes or No. We may ask for backup contributors in the event that some Santas can't fulfill their obligations. This will most likely occur in the first week of January. If you are unable or uninterested in being a backup contributor, it's perfectly okay to say no. Please don't say "maybe" or "don't know". Yes or No are the only two answers.

you can use this handy form, just copy-paste and fill out =)


NOTE- when posting your wishlist, please tag the entry 'yourusername, wishlist 2007' and when posting gifts, please tag the entry 'receiversusername, gift, 2007', you can also use additional tags like 'icons, banners, wallpapers', etc, when posting gifts.
thanks =P

TIMELINE
- Post your wishlist between November 5th & November 30th
- During the first couple of days in December, we'll email your santa assignment.
- (optional) Between December 1st & December 23rd, you are allowed to post teaser gifts to your giftee. These have to be anonymous! You don't want your giftee to know who you are before the big day!
- *NEW RULE!!* instead of sending us the teaser gifts, please post them as COMMENTS to the GIFTEES WISHLIST POST!! remember to post them as anonymous!
- Starting December 24th until January 1st, post your gift(s) to the community and reveal your identity. If you won't be online during this time, email your gifts to gg.santa@gmail.com before December 24th and we will post it for you.
- After January 1st, we will ask backup contributors for their help so that no one goes without a gift. If you are unable to meet your deadline or post your gift on time (or at all), please let us know.

WHAT'S EXPECTED
Gifts should reasonably reflect what was asked for. If someone asks for icons of Lorelai, just one icon would probably be a little disappointing. Virtual gifts only! Do not spend money! The purpose of Gilmore Girls Santa is to share creativity and revel in the generosity of the holiday season.
