I polled some folks and it sounds like this was a hit so we're doing it again!
Here's how it will work:
1. By November 21 email me at antheia@narniamuck.org with subject line "Secret Santa Info" and the following information.
a. Your preferred NM alt name (I may ask you if I can use a different one depending on who I assign to you.)
b. Your RL name and address.
c. Any players you are NOT comfortable with me giving your address to. Be as liberal with this list as you need to be. We are all about safety here, and I won't judge or tell anyone what you said. If you're nervous you might miss someone, you can list out the players you ARE willing to give your address to instead. Just be clear which kind of list you are making.
d. Any allergies, particular dislikes, etc.
e. Preferences, favorites, fandoms... whatever information you'd like to share to help your gifter out.
f. Whether you are able/willing to send packages overseas. Keep in mind that, depending on your gift, you can buy things online (from Etsy for instance) from companies within the same country as your recipient. This will mean you can't handwrite anything to them, but will help a ton with shipping (international shipping w the US is VERY expensive now).
g. *Suggestions for a more NarniaMUCK appropriate name for this endeavor than "Secret Santaur". (Get it? like Centaur? Yeah okay it needs some work thats why I'm asking for help okay)
2. By November 24 (Thanksgiving in the US) receive your assigned giftee! Buy or make them a gift. Try to keep it under 15USD. It's okay if it's the type of thing that fits in a letter envelope rather than a package, if you need to keep shipping low.
3. Pack up your gift with a letter revealing who the gifter was (your NM main name, or the one I tell you to use), and anything else you'd like to say. Send it by December 12 if possible.
***These rules are subject to change as concerns are brought up to me.
