I think the rules say no earlier than Christmas Eve, but you'll have to ask Nemo about that I'm afraid, because I don't know. I've got mine ready, and I'm posting it on Christmas Eve.

It does claim "Must be due by", so that at leas Implies, you can post before then.
Though, Like I claim, Try PMing Nemo, she may know, You Know?

*All Secret Santa artwork and literature is due on December 24th - 25th. There will be no extensions allowed unless you ask before the deadline. DO NOT POST YOUR SECRET SANTA GIFTS UNTIL THEN. THAT IS THE RULE!!!Having to put this up here because some people (looking at you: DJ, Lupus, Paws, and Belchic) decided it was perfectly okay to break one of the easiest rules in regards to the secret santa exchange. Yes, I am mad about this because that's a very simple rule to follow, isn't it? If any of y'all had issues or were unable to post them on either of those days, then you should have simply messaged me and asked if you could post it later. Instead of assuming it would be okay to post it earlier. Seriously? I can't even right now. Thanks for making me angry on my birthday.. really, thanks a lot.UPDATE 12/22: Thread is being locked to prevent anymore of you making that mistake. Will be unlocked on Christmas Eve.

Last update before I unlock the thread at a later date.
I can't let what happened today go unpunished. But as for what the punishment is I have come to a decision. Members who posted their secret santas before the date: DJ, Lupus, Paws, and Belchic. I'm sorry to say this guys, but you will not be allowed to participate in the secret santa next year if you're still members of the forum.

For this year's Secret Santa, my client was Sweeney Terrier, a.k.a. Lupus! He asked me to write a story about one of my pups babysitting Abby. I did my best, but here it goes. Oh, and Lupus, I hope you don't mind that I decided to make it an anthro story. ----- It was one fine morning. Annabelle was going to an all-day event. However, she couldn't bring baby Abby, so she asked someone to come babysit. This time, she hired Tippy to babysit her daughter, and Abby was very excited about that. That morning, Annabelle managed to do her regular morning routine and spend the morning with her daughter. It was shortly after 10am, and the doorbell rang. Annabelle answered the door. "Hello, Tippy," Annabelle said. "Thank you so much for volunteering to babysit Abby." "It's a pleasure, ma'am," said Tippy. Annabelle gave Tippy all the instructions she needed to know. She showed her where Abby's food, clothes, diapers and toys were. She also told her when her nap times were, and when her feeding times were. She also suggested taking Abby to the park. Tippy was very happy to be given this job, and with all the instructions given, Annabelle left. Tippy then approached Abby and said, "You ready for some fun with Tippy?" Abby giggled excitedly. She loved Tippy a lot. Tippy took Abby out of her crib and decided to play with her. They played with her stuffed ponies. It was a lot of fun. After that game, Abby's stomach gurgled. "Ooh, sounds like someone is hungry!" Tippy said before she carried Abby over to her high chair. Tippy got out some of Abby's baby food and fed her. Normally, a baby would be crazy and messy during lunchtime, but Abby was not like that; she finished her food just great. "Now it's time for even more fun," said Tippy. "I'm taking you to the park!" Abby cooed with excitement. Tippy carried Abby on her shoulders over to the park. There were other baby pups playing in a sandbox. She took Abby over to play with the others. She had fun while Tippy watched her. After about an hour, all the others were one by one going back to their parents. It was time for them to go home, so Abby crawled back over to Tippy. "You ready to go home, Abby?" asked Tippy. Abby nodded. Tippy then sniffed suspiciously. "I think someone needs a diaper change. We'll do that when we get home...after I give you a bath." Abby cooed again. This was an exciting day for her. Tippy brought Abby back home and gave her a nice warm bath. Abby splashed a lot, but Tippy tolerated it; she loved playing with babies. After her bath, Abby was ready for her diaper change. Tippy dried her off and put a nice clean diaper on her. Abby yawned. This was a long day for her and Tippy. "I guess it's nap time," she said as she sat down on a couch. She sang Abby a lullaby, and she drifted off to sleep. Tippy fell asleep too with little Abby in her arms. Not long after they fell asleep, Tippy heard the front door opening. She slowly woke up, it was Annabelle. She had returned home, and she could see that her baby was sleeping. "How was she?" Annabelle whispered. "She had the time of her life today," Tippy whispered back. "She didn't give me any trouble." "Thank you so much for babysitting my daughter, Tippy," Annabelle whispered as Tippy handed Abby over to her mother. "Let me know whenever you need a babysitter again, and I'll let you know if I'm available," she said with a smile. "Bye-bye." With that said, she left. --- Hope you like it, Lupus, and Merry Christmas!

My Secret Santa this year was ArtyJayWolf !! Wolfy has made a lot of cool contributions to the board since joining, and I was really excited to finally have the opportunity to draw his characters. So here we have Querida and Hyperion enjoying a snowy day together, complete with a festive scarf shared between the two. :3 Enjoy, and happy holidays!! I'll be sure to post this on DeviantART later.

This year my Secret Santa was for Trey_Vore ! There's a racket at your door late one Christmas eve. You open the door and are greeted by this sight. Apparently the answer to "What does the fox say?" is "Christmas Carols".

This year, my Secret Santa recipient is... well, no idea who this could be for. I had to draw this with a mouse due to some broken stylus issues... so it's not my best. I only wish I did as well as he did. Where did it come from? What is it for? It has been fueling the arctic conditions in Grutely for weeks. Such a mystical and strange anomoly. It seems to be the most dense concentration of magical energy she has ever heard of. If it were matter, it would surely cause a black hole several times over. Well, at least it is safe now from those things. Curious, what could they possibly do with such a powerful magical anomoly? Sandy's thoughts were interrupted when she suddenly realized how cold she was . The anomoly radiates cold like a cold fire. "I'll keep you warm." Bishop says with his typical cocky smile when he notices Sandy shivering. He wraps his body around her and nuzzles her cheek. He's not having a bit of trouble since that thing transformed him. The feeling of his warm belly on her back feels so good. She stops analyzing for a moment and enjoys his warm affectionate embrace. She rarely does take time to stop analyzing everything and just enjoy a moment.

Paws OMIGOD I LOVE IT!!! Querida and Hyperion look absolutely ADORABLE!!! Thank you!! I love Querida's expression, and you also got the exact orientation of all her spots! Awesome! I know I don't have a full-body picture of Hyperion, but that's pretty darn close to what I pictured in my head.

Welp, my Secret Santa's not really a surprise anymore, but it's for Belchic ! Merry Christmas, Belchic, and Merry Christmas to everyone! There's even a conversation I made up to go with the picture! XD Joey: *muffled* Uh-oh... Tippy: Joey, what did you do? Belchic: Guys... Everything alright? Joey: *muffled* The mailbox slot is stuck! I can't mail our letters! Tippy: Oh! Joey! Arcane *off screen*: Guys, what are you doin'? Belchic: We're trying to mail our letters to Santa, so we made a totem pole to reach the mailbox!

Thank you for the story Belchic...admittedly I don't find it as perfect but it's at least good enough. (And I'd rather not nitpick.) Anyway, my Secret Santa this year was babclayman, who if I'm correct didn't ask for anything specific in particular so long as it was obviously meant for him so I decided to try drawing something. I had several ideas in my head at first so I couldn't decide which to do...so I simply chose to do a variety of images, or a set. (You'll need to click on the image to see it more closely). 1st image: A reference to a Twilight Zone episode, "Terror at 20,000 Feet", (yes I know the image isn't in black and white), with Sir Robin in the position of William Shatner's character. Except this time rather than there being....something on the wing, there's simply something BIG outside of the plane. A gigantic Clayton to be exact, (the light-blue eye in the main window and the spot pattern in the window to the left should give it off). The text boxes read, "Many thousand ft high..." and "All because a feline god favored a dog." The latter being a reference to a non-canon rp Bab and I did involving Kubwa. 2nd image: Simply a direct reference to a Tennant-era Doctor Who episode known as "Blink". This time, with Bab's Doc in the TV talking to who knows who and warning them about the Weeping Angels. The quote in the text box is "Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead." If one would examine the TV box a little they might notice something peculiar about it. 3rd image: This is simply a reference to "Monty Python & The Holy Grail" or its stage version "Spamalot", with Malinda in the place of a sorcerer known as Tim the Enchanter, (And yes I replaced her ears with the horns but I'm not sure if her collar's the right color). The line below is simply "There are some who call me...Malinda." Which is a...reference to the quote where Tim says his name. But soft, what or who could those two long brown-and-pink ears be? Could it be Snuggles, the deadly brown Rabbit? D: 4th image: This doesn't necessarily reference anything overall, except Topper the penguin from "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town". Here we have Kendra in a Santa hat standing next to Topper in his scarf. If you're wondering what Kendra has around her tail, think back to a certain song; what...on the 5th day of Christmas your true love gave to you? Bottom image: The entire think below the above image is a reference to another Christmas Special, "Year Without a Santa Claus", specifically the Miser Brothers; Heat & Snow. On the left we have Pserio, (Olwe's Djuubi/Demon form), representing the grouchy or grumpy heat Miser and on the left we have Alvin's Demon form, (and if I'm correct Alvin is controlled or played by Bab), in the place of the more...chilled-out, *rimshot* Snow Miser. I decided to throw in the snowman to make Alvin's area not as empty-looking. As for the degree scale above them, think of how their songs go, "I never wanna know a day that's over 40 degrees", and "I never wanna see a day that's under 60 degrees", (respectively), hence why there's a gap at 50...I doubt either Miser Brother would tolerate that. Hope you enjoy the variety show, Bab and Merry Christmas.
