Secret Santa Alert!
http://www.freesparkle.com
Hello Academy goers! I would post this after Thanksgiving (on Black Friday, when Christmas nonsense starts to get into full swing), but seeing as I'll be out of town, I'll do it now while it's on my mind.
We here at the Academy love the holidays (especially Christmahanakwanzika), and since Disney is all about spreading the joy, why don't we do the same?
Some of you may have done "Secret Santas" before in school or some sort of social group; for those who haven't, everyone who signs up gets a person for whom they'll make/create/buy a present for; the present is then given to the recipient, but they won't know who gave it to him/her. Hence the Secret part of Secret Santa.
We did this before with flying colors back in the previous game, and it really was a lot of fun! Here's some ideas for gifts you could give:
-Fan Mix (which is basically a CD/playlist, front cover, and back cover you design and put together; it usually focuses on a single character. For example, for Fairy Godmother, her fan mix could include "Do you believe in magic," "Dance Magic Dance," "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo," "Grandmother's serenade," etc.)
-Fan art (who doesn't like art of their characters?)
-Icons
-Re-subtitling (a scene from a foriegn movie to make funny comments about your recipient's characters/canon/fandom, etc.)
-Fandubbing (a scene from the recipient's movie with new words to make it applicable to the game or to the mun)
-One-shot Fic
-Poem
-Compose a song or change the words of a canon song (and maybe sing it if you're confident in your voice!)
-Photoshopping anything together
-Or if you have extra money laying around, getting your recipient a paid account and/or extra icon space
Your options are only as limited as your imagination! And from experience, the hand-made gifts are always the best ones. <3
Please sign up below if you wish to participate in Secret Santas! All comments are screened for privacy! Make sure to include:
-Name
-Preferences for a gift
-Canons/characters/fandoms you'd like to see in a gift.
You have until December 6th to sign up!
We will inform you privately via PM on your character account on or shortly after the 6th as to who your recipient is! We will have a submission post going closer to the holidays; remember to use a medium that can't be tracked back to you (that would ruin the Secret!).
PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF SIMBA, IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THIS, BE DEDICATED TO IT! There's nothing worse than not even getting coal for a present. Think about your poor recipient's sad face. ;;
Gifts will be posted around December 23-25th.
Have fun, Academy! And do please sign up! It's really is a lot of fun!
