Stocking Stuffers!

Post by **Dray** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 11:36 am

Ahhh, I just had the best idea for Christmas. :D I am going to try to put these all out on time. Wish me luck!

Okay, here's the deal: I am going to be making these intended as pet-like creatures, however if you want to size them up into ridable creatures, you can feel free to. The sizes will be completely up to you.

I will ask for a number of variables from you in order to put these together (they are a two-parter!) -- don't be alarmed by 'least favorite' items, they won't be included in the final product!

Please have this filled out by the end of today or tomorrow, as I need to start working on them ASAP. I will leave this open until midafternoon on the 24th, but that's only because that's when I will start to post everything!

Your Name:
Your Caretaker: (you can put yourself in here if you want! It can also be a character -- but there's only one per Nexus person, so choose wisely!)
Your Caretaker's basic appearance: (this is because I will be customizing each stocking with a little puppet of your caretaker!)
Caretaker's least favorite colour: (wrapping paper yeaaaaaaaaah XD)
Caretaker's most favorite colour: (possibly for wrapping paper, may be for the gift or gifts inside!)
Has the caretaker been naughty this year, or nice?:
Does your caretaker have teeth?: (lol, just wait and see. XD)
Is your caretaker allergic to citrus?: (>:D)
Does your caretaker enjoy chocolate?: (>>:D)
Put these in your caretaker's order of preference:
-Gifts from the heart
-Gifts for the palette
-Gifts from the wallet
-Gifts that smell pretty
-Gifts for the mind
-Gifts that keep on giving

Aaaand that's it! I will see about getting everyone who signs up AT LEAST one stocking stuffer. If I can make more there will be more. If anybody wants to draw up some critters that are inspired by the form and PM me with links, I could even go in with others so that our stocking stuffers are similar (but much smaller scale) than the winter gather! If you'd like to do this, again I need you to be done and send them in by the evening of the 24th!! Little critters are fine and preferred.

I'll be putting up the stockings on the evening of the 24th, and we can 'open them' on the 25th... depending on when everyone is available. ;) Keep tuned for more!

For stocking stuffers, I am thinking about creatures that are inspired by things that you might get in your stocking! They can be flits, or hatchlings that grow into bigger things later, or 'accessories' that I suppose you could adorn your stocking stuffers with (or maybe trade for other accessories) or even images of things that you think people might like, like chocolate! X3

That's at its most ambitious, of course... at the minimum I'm going to try to have two variants of creature to hand out based on the 'naughty/nice' theme.

Because the tradition at my house is for the entire family to sit down and take turns opening stocking stuffers (aka, mom unwraps something, I unwrap something, pop unwraps something, repeat until there's nothing left) this event is going to be time-lapsed over the 25th and 26th, where people can post actions for their caretakers, and I'll respond with the appropriate surprise! ^_^ If you wanted to draw/colour some treats, I would be handing them (and appropriate information) out along with the blitzkrieg of other little treats. :)
