I'm here to kick ass and write stories and I'm all out of ass. Put me up for both.

 

The deadline is December 24. Been busy with finals this week.

 

Two more to go. ;_;

 

I'll be contacting authors and winners letting them know one the draw occurs.

 

The draw has been made. Sorry to those who missed out. Winners were chosen by randomly shuffling the list of authors and the list of contestants, and pairing them in order. No collisions occurred (i.e. someone being matched with their own name), but if any had occurred, the lists would have been repeatedly shuffled until there were no collisions.

Merry Christmas, everyone, and have a happy New Year.

Gasp. It's almost like the draw was entirely random!

 

There have to be some losers, unfortunately.

prion: Sorry I missed your post, buddy. =/

 

A WILD CHALLENGE APPEARS!

So I'm willing to bet that some most of us haven't finished these yet. I got with Xantam ages ago to sort out more or less what he wanted and it's been churning around in my head for months now. It's an awesome idea and I'm looking forward to writing it.

But while I will be forever grateful to Jeram for writing my 2012 fic challenge (go read it) I want to avoid writing my 2013 Santa Challenge in 2015 rather than 2014. I want to finish it before December rolls around and we're on Secret Santa #4 instead of #3.

So my challenge to all of you authors who chose to participate is thus:
Write your Secret Santa fic during NaNoWriMo unless you already have specific NaNo plans.

I'm not doing NaNo properly, I know that. But instead of trying to write and finish a 50k long novel I'm instead trying to churn out some of my short story ideas (both fanfic and original) that I've had sitting around ready to write for a few months. This one is near the top of the list.

Go forth and be awesome DLP, you know you can do it.

P.S. That includes you Alb, chop chop.
P.P.S. If you already wrote yours, link it!
