Signups are now CLOSED.
EDIT: Due to an Internet outage in my neck of the woods, I'm moving the deadlines back. The signup deadline is now Sunday, December 17, at 9 p.m. PST, and the icons will be due by Friday, January 5. Sorry for the change in plans.
EDIT: The signup period will end at NOON, Pacific Standard Time, this coming Friday. That way I'll have the afternoon to spend sending the emails out.
I had a flash of inspiration at work today, and now I'm sharing it with y'all.
For the holiday season, I will be organizing a Secret Santa exchange in which all of the gifts will take the form of custom character icons. It'll be a great way for the muns to exercise their creativity and get to know other muns' characters better.
Here's how it works: to sign up, reply to this post with your name, an email address, and a list of your pups. When the signup period is complete, I'll take the list of muns and use
random.org to assign them to each other. Each participant will receive a private email telling them the name of the mun for whom they'll be making icons. Your job is to make three (3) icons for that mun's characters. They can be all for one pup, or distributed around--your choice. All I ask is that you make the icons relevant to the specific pup(s) in question, rather than generic "Milliways" themes.
The signup period will run through Friday, December 15; the icons themselves must be posted by Monday, January 1. (These dates, however, may be subject to change if enough people bug me about it.)
Have at it!
