lols, I just recieved this in my Gmail today. :D



Yaaay, 11 more days! Unfortunately, I'm going to be doing the exam grind for the next month. D: Mostly because I have not been studying. At all. Srsly. Ugh ugh ugh ugh. It's my own damn fault aarrghhh.

Anyway! So! Time for my awesome Christmas idea, yes?

I want to do something like a physical art trade with people for Christmas! And if we start now we'd all have enough time to actually get them done and sent off? I think the idea is cool, but getting people to participate could be difficult. Thoughts, anyone? If I can get FIVE people to exchange art with me I will consider this a complete success, honestly. :P

Comment if you're interested and I'll try and work out a more detailed plan~


So far I'm thinking that I'll just personally trade with anyone who's interested! At first I thought to maybe try and set up some sort of random free-for-all secret santa dealio with a hojillion artists but that is A) way too much work and B) just too complicated to satisfy everybody. So screw that idea. I'll probably put up a list of fandoms/subjects/etc that I'm able/willing to do art of and jot down the names of anyone who wants in and then solicit each individual for an address to send stuff to via note or email. Then people can send me a list to pick from for their half or put up an open list on their journal - thus turning this into an MEME. YES.

IF this gets any further than an idea, one of the rules will be that you can't open and look at your art until Christmas. :D (and of course, no posting the art that you've made for someone else until Christmas!).

Alternatively, this could all happen through email, I guess. But that's not as cool. D: But also safer than semi-random people knowing your postal address. Since these get arranged between individuals though, I suppose you could also pick and choose who you email/post depending on how well you know the other person or how open the place you post the offer on is etc.



Anyway, yeah, post with ideas and expressions of interest, guys? :D Or even expressions of DISinterest if you think this is a dumb idea?
