Welcome members to the Shippers' Secret Santa!
This is a holiday event in the Shippers Community that has happened annually for the past couple of years to celebrate cheer with our favorite pairings. By far things has worked out extremely well, thanks to you (if you have done this before) and to others who previously joined. With permission from the Shipping moderators, I will be your host yet again for this festive time!
To sum up the purpose of the thread: members will sign up to participate by filling out a form provided below. Once the sign up period is over, they will be assigned another participant to create a Pokemon-related present for. Since this is a free forum, there won't be money involved nor addresses to be provided. Only fanworks such as fan art, fan fiction, graphics, and AMVs are allowed. Pretty simple, huh?
The sign up period will last through the rest of November. Two weeks so there is plenty of time to sign up. Once that is over, I will PM each participant the following day a randomized member in which they will make something for. The gift-making process will last until December 30th, 2014. Gifts will be posted on December 31st, 2014.

Now every thread has rules so let's get to them!
Rules
- Follow SPPF General Rules.
- Spamming is a huge issue. Keep the posts related to this thread. All you need is a sign up post here.
- Flaming any member or a shipping is bad. Be kind to each other as we're a community.
- Keep everything at a PG level. Explicit material will get you in trouble with the moderators.
- Be committed to this event.
- Once you sign up, it is required you make the effort to follow up on your part.
- There is no limit to what you want to give the member but do not leave them empty handed.
- All gift submissions must be sent via Private Message to me before the deadline. Via attachment or direct link to the content. Multiple PMs are OK if written work is long. If I have to download something to see the content, it will not be accepted.
- Do not reveal whom you are making a present for. Also do not ask who is your Secret Santa until AFTER the gifts have been given.
- PM me or any Shipping moderator is there is a problem.
- If it is a question regarding the event, such as what is appropriate to give your assigned member or if it qualifies, PM me, Sweet May.
- If it is a concern between the behavior of another member throughout the event, PM a Shipping moderator.

Gifts
You do not need some killer talent to give somebody a present. As long as you tried your best, do not worry about your skills in art, writing, etc. Effort and time are your friends.
These are the types of gifts you can give your assigned member.
- Fan Art
- Doodles or clean sketches
- Small comic (4koma)
- FanFiction
- One-shots (1000 words or more)
- Drabbles (100-500 words)
- Poems
- Graphics
- Banner
- Icons (please give at least 3)
- Wallpapers
- Music Videos
- AMVs/MMVs
- Betas
Extra notes:
- If the member you are making a gift to prefers a type of fanwork that you do not excel in, do your best or just work what what you are best at. No need to pressure yourself.
- Whichever way you create your gift, DO NOT SUBMIT IT TO THE PUBLIC until after the event is over. No uploading to devianART, fanfiction.net, Tumblr, etc.

This seems to be everything. Check back for updates and vice versa. Really looking forward to how this year's event will go. Don't be shy and join us!
Happy Holidays and have fun!
