I feel sad for everyone who missed out on this... I tried my hardest but not many people seemed to care... what can I do? I try to help the people and the people ignore me. I'm glad I got Jesychan, Thixsev, and Erzandeu to post here. Next time something like this is active, let me know first, and I will start campaigning early to get as many people as possible involved. Also, for what it's worth, I see my list has been claimed... but please, I would like as many different artists as possible to take a shot at my requests (separate from this 'event' however). I can 'commission' them if needed.

We have 24 lists this year--I'd say that's more than "not many people". I appreciate you getting the word out, Nano. Thank you.

I would much prefer that only people who would APPRECIATE my gifts request one from me anyway. If they just don't care, I don't want to draw for them. :3 And really, I'm sure our other artists feel much the same way. It takes countless hours of studying and practice to become good at art; one has to change their entire way of seeing the world if they're going to be any good. Our time is valuable.

[Trip Dering]

I can't speak for anyone else, but I appreciate any gift given me.

And also, Jet's list was made before the character limit was in place. AND it's nowhere near the scope that Kirby Pink's was. I think that his original 6-character request should be done.

[CodingGenesis]

I think so too. Although I would like my original requests being drawn by someone, I would and will appreciate any gift that I receive. It is really something when someone actually takes the time to draw such a picture as a christmas gift for somebody else. Whoever draws a picture for me (if at all) and whatever that picture will be, thank you.

Glad to see you volunteer! :) I have 24 to make, 34 if you factor in my own personal things, which I NEVER have time for, what with treating my poor birdy and her broken, amputated leg and all...

I'm eager to see what you come up with. :)

[Trip Dering]

*hastily corrects self* oh, no! I can't draw worth a hoot! I was just stating an opinion!

[Magnus Blade]

Yeah. It matters not the quality of a gift. If someone took something as precious as time to make a gift for you, you should be grateful for their kindness instead of what they give you...that's what I was taught. I'm an extremely grateful person, so any gift given, I'm greatly thankful for.

[Gaijin Zero]

I also edited my post earlier to state that since the character limit came into place, my request can be over looked, I'll be perfectly happy either way (I only left it up if someone REALLY wanted to make it)

[OmegaMan]

Oh man... Sorry to hear that, Mith... I hope your bird will be ok in the long run. . .

[Mith]

Thanks, OM. It's been a tough road, but she's a real fighter.

Shade, you're welcome to make a few new requests, since I didn't notify you right away of that character limit. It's just to keep me from breaking my hands early, you know? It's fine to leave the guardian one up, maybe someone WILL pull it off. I doubt it will be me, because let's face it--I have a LOT to do. xD So if you don't mind, just come up with a few other things and jot them down really quick. I forsee that this will go beyond Christmas anyway...

On that note, since it's the 21st already, I would like to know if anyone is having trouble making their gift. We COULD make it a special X9 Christmas-After-Christmas if people think they don't quite have the time.

[CodingGenesis]

I can't speak for anyone else, but to me it really does not matter when I will receive my gift. Really. It's already great enough that someone acutally takes the time creating these gifts, so I am the last one to put a time pressure on them.

Also, I kinda feel bad since I can't create any gifts (since my drawing "skills" are so awkward...), so everyone take all the time you need.

As I am writing this I realize it's only a few more days to Christmas Eve. I won't be online that much around that time so:

Everyone, have a great time and Merry Christmas!

[Gaijin Zero]

well, I guess my new request could be my own character pairing of Shade and Flare, as a family holding their baby boy (character as of yet unnamed)

Shade:

Flare: a beautiful Female angel with dark brown hair, flowing to about mid back, she wears a mostly white Cloak/Robe and has Light pink angel wings, fair complexion and lovely green eyes.

their child: not much can be said for his description, because the most that will be seen is his little hand.

I'm completely with CodingGenesis on this one. No one should rush and stress themselves out over this. The Christmas-After-Christmas sounds like a great idea to me if people don't finish in time. And in case I don't see anyone later. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to everyone.

[OmegaMan]

I've admittedly procrastinated. (Yes, I'm tackling a couple.) Spirit Tracks stole my attention again. I SHOULD be able to get them done fairly quickly, though. So you can expect to see the ones I'm working on done by Christmas.

[Mith]

Okay! I have decided that users can start posting gifts on the evening of the 24th, and that we will extend the gift-giving until the week after Christmas. Just post your gifts as you finish them after tomorrow night. (I'm really swamped. I haven't gotten to color any of mine yet, and I would like to at least try.)

[OmegaMan]

Having company over today put a damper on mine as well. I haven't gotten to color yet myself.
