Back by (somewhat XD) popular demand! The 2nd annual SVL Forum Exchange! Last year's exchange was so much fun that we are hoping for the same this year. We are aiming for at least a total number of 10 participants, so please join and get other members to join as well. The more members, the better. I know that is time of year is very busy for a lot of people so I am allotting a 2-week period for sign-up. Everything else you need to know about the exchange is listed below. Enjoy~!! :happy:

Rules and Guidelines

(1) You must leave a post stating that you would like to participate along with 3-5 things that you would like to receive or a list of things that you like (see sample post below).

(2) Also, you must list what you are capable of doing. I ask only this because I don't want to give someone a person that asked for a banner/avatar set to someone that doesn't know how to make graphics. Please list anything that you believe to be something you can give someone else. It doesn't have to be anything fancy (see sample post below).

(3) After I have PMed you your secret SVL member, you may choose to pick another member you wish to give a gift to. This was an option in last years so I leave this open to those of you who want to. Just PM me whoever it is that you want and I'll remove them from the list.

(4) I've been trying to find a reasonable exchange day because I know a lot of us are busy with end of semester things and may or may not have a chance to start on our gifts right away. Regardless I am aiming for an exchange day of the 25th but am going to extend the deadline until the 1st of January. So any time between those two dates should be fine. If this doesn't work for you, please let me know so we can work something else out for you (for those of you might be away during break, ect).

(5) You will have until November 30 midnight to decide whether or not you would like to participate. This is to assure that you have plenty of time to get a gift ready for the exchange.

(6) Please, please, PLEASE don't sign up if you have no intention of giving a gift. Don't make this any harder on me since I am the one that has to end up making your exchangee's gift for you.

(7) Once you have acquired your gift for the exchange, please let me know ahead of time (this is for purposes pertaining to rule #6).

(8) Any other questions or concerns, feel free to either contact me through a post in this thread, through a private PM on the forum or through Livejournal. I have made a public post on my journal for you to contact me through there since I check it at least twice a day, if not more, and is the fastest way to contact me. I have also set posts to be screened so that only I can view comments.


Example of what your post should entail (taken from the always articulate chemi-chan)

Happy Holidays~!

Underline means you have received your gift. Bold means you have given your gift.

Things that I can give:
-I might be able to sew/make something small. I think that'd be nice. =D This, of course, would require an address, though, and permission from my mom. XD

:heart:

I have sent out PMs to everyone with their respective SVL member for the exchange. If you have any questions, problems or concerns please feel free to contact me either through a post in this thread or privately.


Happy Holidays, everyone and good luck!~

Thank you for the pm, Mero-chan. Sorry for the delay in my post. I'm so exhausted from work that I can't even think right at this moment. I will try to post my preferences (if required?) tomorrow.

Take care and have a great day, everyone! :wink:

Addendum:
I won't ask for much...
I'd like a Steinway grand piano with a gorgeous Edward Cullen playing my lullaby compilation of either Yiruma's music or Richard Clayderman's piano music.

OR something really Christmas-y would be lovely (I often don't celebrate it so something to remind me of it would be good!)

I don't know what you have read so I took stabs in the dark, it's okay if you've already read them, I'm sure others will download :zip:

Alien love triangle? Who wouldn't love it :thumbsup:

Honey Bunny

A manga about Go? Boring, no way! I've only uploaded the first 5 volumes, in case you have already read it, or if you don't like it, if you want more I can upload, my computer is being nice to me this year so far.

Hikaru no Go v02

Music:
Shion is a mix between Japanese Pop Rock and Metal? I would say perhaps... lol.

Shion

Graphics:
Strongest Disciple Kenichi is a darn hard series to find images for, so I looked to already made icons... and they didn't exist lol. You don't have to use these if you don't like them :sorry: I was in a weird mood when I made them haha.

MERRY CHRISTMAS NITY-CHAN!

OMG!!! thank you kana-chan!!!!!! i have not read either of the manga series and will take a look at them right now. as for HSD, I haven't looked for the images but the ones you got look amazing! I'm going to use them right now! shion will also be explored. ^^

I APOLOGIZE FOR BEING OVER A MONTH LATE.
):
Unfortunately, I STILL don't have everything prepared yet (I still need to make some touch ups).

GOMEN NE MERO-CHAN!
m(_ _)m

BUT, I have prepared a gift to... amuse... you?
LOL, idk, but i found it pretty funny. ;D

SORRY MERO, I should have the rest of your gift soon. ^o^

MERRY BELATED CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY BELATED NEW YEAR! :D

ROFL!

omg, I LOVE IT! and don't worry, i am the LAST person that should complain about a belated gift XD;; i know you're busy with senior stuff, so please worry about that before me~~

*goes to stick .gif on her profile*

SORRY FOR THE SUPER LONG WAIT *shame!* BUT BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!

For the exchange, I had the super-wonder (and extremely patient O_O;).....



I'm a terrible Secret Santa and hope you can forgive my lateness. I hope you enjoy the bountiful array of booty gifts.~~

But really Mero, thank you so much! This is way more than enough, I was happy with pictures. And I'm sorry if I made you feel rushed or bad or whatever (to everyone else as well) I didn't want to come off that way, I just didn't want anyone to feel/be excluded.

So Thank you, thank you, thank you, wonderful, incredible, Mero that is the chan.

lol, NO! it wasn't sarcastic. i appreciate you sending out a reminder since I apparently couldn't be bothered to do it myseslf XD;;

and i'm very happy that you liked you gift. i was worried that in the end, the gift wouldn't have been worth the wait =.=;;

i know some people have sent actual presents to their exchange partner, so if you still check this thread, we'd appreciate you letting us know if you ever received something in the mail.
