Secret Santa 2014

[Caveat Lector]

Can you please explain what it is you're looking for in this YouTube channel in a bit more detail? If it's just a quick promotional video using pre-existing art assets you're willing to provide, that might be doable and you'll probably have to settle for that rather than a full blown channel. If you still want the channel, you'll have to settle for just the one video and then be given the username and password to it.

Also, keep in mind that in general, if an SS does not have the skills required for a particular request (ie, the request is fanart but the SS can't draw), then we have to ask their SS to change it. So do you have a back-up wish in mind just in case someone goes "Uh, sorry, but I don't have any video-editing software and/or I don't have any video editing skills, plus I don't have the time to edit a video"? Because, and I'm speaking from experience in a class I took, a 5-second clip can take hours to edit. And then there's also the issue of software crashing, losing your progress and having to restart, etc.

I don't think firecat was asking for a video at all, I think the request is for *art* for their youtube channel page - like banner art, I think? But with a very high resolution, so it displays properly on a TV.

[Rinima]

^ Agreed. Though in fairness, it wasn't worded very well (I'm going to go ahead and presume their not English/American and English isn't their first language).

[Boomsickle]

This sounds really neat. Count me in.

My wishlist:

Euphoric Confession BGM. A background track of bliss to be played when the final confession of her/his love is finally displayed.
Short Character Vignettes. A short impressionistic scene that focuses on one moment or gives a trenchant impression about a character, idea, setting, or object.

[Hijiri]

Im throwing my hat in again.
All I really can ask for is either art or a fic on Death Rule: lost code.

[Anne]

I had a lot of fun last year

Wishlist: anything Shinsengumi-related, art, fiction, music, full game (who knows? ), anything goes, historical or for any existing series (Hakuoki, Peacemaker, Kaze Hikaru...)

its a channel art like this one, like i said it does not have to be fancy just the characters need adding, gosh it sounds like you guys ever been to youtube.



i do a bad job at trying to make a full tv channel art it always looks messy.

[Ghost #9]

I would certainly like to participate, but at the moment I have no idea what to request. Looks like I've got a few days before the deadline, so I'll be sure to jump back in before then.

@ firecat

Ooooh, I understand now. You mean kind of like the background art on YouTube channels? Sure! That's doable!

gosh it sounds like you guys ever been to youtube.

Hey now, no need for the attitude! It was just an honest miscommunication. I wasn't sure what you meant by "youtube channel with full TV resolution", so I asked.

...

I'd like to add another rule in light of this: If someone isn't certain what a request means or how it's phrased or what specifically the requester is looking for, just ask me or TsukiShima and we'll contact your SS and try to get it straightened out. Keep in mind that misunderstandings and miscommunications happen, and try to be patient with us and your SS.

[ludeshka]

Face it people, you're amazing and talented. I want all of the presents, so gimme.

No?
Okay, a slightly more formal wishlist.

I would love to see writing, or art, or whatever your talented mind can produce inspired by either Rhyme or Reason http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 11&t=27270 or Hierofanía http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 11&t=13833 (if you're adventurous and don't mind it's a work in progress, you can do something from Hierofanía 2's demo ^^)

[Caveat Lector]

I just want to take the time to thank xavimat for their Secret Santa Randomizer from last year, which I will be using this year!

[Katta]

I was waiting for this the whole year)

My wishlist: a story outline for Rynth (preferably something about him and MC, MC can be either gender so the story may be whatever you like) or fanart of him

[Auro-Cyanide]

As a tip, I think wishlists work better if they are simply 'Do something for <insert vn/game title here>' because then whoever gets that person can do something on theme based on their skills. Some of these requests won't work if the receiver is say, a musician. I think it will cause problems if people are asking for such specific things like youtube banners. What happens if someone can't make the banner?

[Shaples]

^^^

Honestly, this is the main reason I'm hesitant to throw my name in the hat (even though I think this is a great idea!). If I wind up with a SS that wants anything besides writing, they're going to be horribly disappointed, and even a simple request for something from a fandom I'm not familiar with would require some major binging to pull off. That said, I love the idea of doing fanfic/fanart for games that are here on the forums (or even contributing to WIPs).

I wonder if there's a better way to pair people up based on requests/abilities?

[raistlintg]

That's true, I want to participate but I won't be able to make music.
I'm learning but Christmas will be too soon.

Anyway, I'll throw my name.
Since my VN isn't in the WIP forum yet, I'd like anything related to Sharin no Kuni

OR Katawa Shoujo

Thank you Caveat for hosting this !
