2010 Master List and Notes

[yuletart_mods]

Yuletart is officially over! It's been a bit of a bumpy year, but we hope that the experience has been rewarding for all of our artists. The mods offer their sincere apologies for any confusion that may have happened this year-Our main organizer for previous years and total goddess, glockgal, was unable to give much time to Yuletart this year, and our

Thanks for all the hard work this year! I thoroughly enjoyed this round and hope to see you guys again next year! ♥

Couple o' things:

1) THANK YOU MODS ♥ ♥ ♥ The fest was wonderful this year, you all did a great job! I look forward to the fest all year and it was great fun, I appreciate the hard work y'all do to make it fun for everyone :)

2) The amazing cathybites is listed here on the masterlist, but hasn't been listed as the artist on the actual art post.

3) Curious about the decision to list artists you would specifically like to give gifts to. Seems to defeat the spirit of a mystery gift exchange, though I can see how it would be useful to make matches if all other methods fail. I think the Dear Yuletart letters are a better idea as a requirement so that people have a better idea what to create for strangers.

I honestly cannot express how difficult making matches is. It's INCREDIBLY difficult, especially when we have so many smaller fandoms (I used to run a HP art fest, and matching obscure pairings for that was worlds easier than this). Also, no one would know who you listed as wanting to give art to but you and the mods, so I don't really think we're losing much mystery there.

Oh, and also, THANK YOU for the heads up, I fixed Cathy's post. :)

It's occurred to me that maybe I should better clarify: The list of artists you'd like to give art to is something you'll provide in your confirmation email. It's not a list of friends or what have you; after sign ups close, we're asking everyone look over the application post, make a list of people who list fandoms/prompts that excite them, and then send that along to us. The idea is that you might have a list 5 people long or 50, but this helps ensure everyone gets to create art that they're excited about.

I hope that made sense. XD

Oh thank you! Sorry, I misunderstood the bit about it being in the confirmation email rather than the signup post, that makes loads more sense! Sorry for the confusion, that sounds like a great idea :Db

From the way you put it in the post I was iffy on the concept, but this sounds like a great idea.

Thank you mods! I really appreciate all the work that goes into this. I had a blast this year and loved all the great art. Though now I have to go say thank you to all the nice comments I got :D (LIFE IS SO HARD)
