Rating: PG
A/N: I apologise the lateness of your SS fic. I hope you enjoy. ^^ Also a thank you to abarero for the beta and title. ^^

Title: Bravery Comes In Many Forms
Written For: haro
Fandom: Harry Potter
Request Written: Ron-centric fic about him training to be an auror/his reasons behind taking the job/etc. Can have hints of Ron/Hermione but no other Ron pairings.
Rating: PG-13
A/N: I am still not sure how this ended up being 7,000ish words long. o.O

( Plus, exploding trees look cool and take out lots of Death Eaters. )

The following people have not yet posted their Secret Santa:

I understand that time gets away from people or you're just really busy (I mean heck, I just posted mine), but I would like to know for sure if you're going to be able to complete and post your fic. If you are not going to be able to complete it, please let me know as soon as possible so I can give your assignment to a pinch hitter as soon as possible. I'm not setting a formal deadline for everyone who hasn't written theirs yet, but it would be fantastic if you could complete it as soon as is possible for you.

In addition to that, if anyone is willing to pinch hit (meaning, write a fic for someone if someone drops out) just in case, let me know. I will not assign anyone a fandom/genre/character/pairing they said they wouldn't write in their signup.

Lastly, if you're in need of a beta reader or any other sort of help to complete your fic, let me know.

Comments are screened. I'll take you off the list once you post your piece.

Title: Simply Bananas
Written For: abarero
Fandom: Doctor Who
Request Written: 10.5 and Rose. A romantic evening for the Doctor and Rose turns crackish when the Doctor's quirkiness gets the best of him.
Rating: PG-13 for sexytime
A/N: I can't believe you made me write this. ♥

( Fake cut to fanfic... )

Since almost half of us haven't posted our secret santas yet (myself included >>), I decided I'd go ahead and issue a formal extension. Please try to have your gift posted by Tuesday 01/06. Thanks!

Title: Homecoming
Fandom: Inuyasha
Written For: bakayasha14
Request Written: InuYasha/Kagome romance/fluff (InuYasha)
Rating: PG, for one word you might not want the kids to hear.
AN: This fic is a what-you-didn’t-see moment set during the period covered by chapter 558. Therefore, there will be some spoilers for those who haven’t read the manga’s ending.

I apologise for this being a day late and un-beta'ed. I've looked it over pretty thoroughly but if anyone spots any mistakes then you're more than welcome to point them out. Constructive criticism is also very welcome.

I hope you enjoy the fic. Merry Christmas!


( Homecoming )

Title: The Fundamentals of Teamwork
Fandom: Kekkaishi
Written For: prpl_pen
Request Written: Kekkaishi genfic featuring Yoshimori, Tokine, & Gen. Something like the three of them hanging out outside of Karasumori (Tokine & Yoshimori trying to get Gen to loosen up & have fun w/them?) would be A+. Hints of Yoshi-->Tokine are welcome, but no overt pairings, please.
Rating: PG for a little language
AN: I am not familiar with anime canon at this time (episodes acquired; time for viewing not so easily found) so if anything like this happens in the anime as filler... um, oops? This is also my first time writing for Kekkaishi (also first himitsu_santa, woohoo!), and I'm sure it shows.
Anyone so inclined is also free to crit this thing to pieces.



( There is no plot, only baking )

Title: Hags Sleep Beautifully, by Risa
Fandom: Naruto
Written For: calophi
Request written: Sakura/Sai, perhaps mid-mission or following them through a mission. Can be platonic or not, but I'd love some funky relationship dynamics and humor and snark and such.
A/N: I just hope my awful brand of humor works for you! XD Writing from Sai's POV is fuuuun. *loves making fun of charas I love*

( She swung those fists of hers around like a new toy, and calling her names generally gave her an excuse to do so. )

Title: Unexpected
Written For: planetgal471
Request written: HP: RemusxSirius including Remus in werewolf form but on Wolfsbane. Wolfsbane!Remus having to interact with other characters a plus.
Rating: G
AN: This was a bit hard. I tried so many different things, but they all looked like crap on my screen. This one kind of popped into my head about a week ago and I just went with it. I hope you enjoy it! Also, I really suck at titles.

( That same confidence, Remus mused, was also very aggravating. )

Title: Josephine et André
Fandom: Disney's Beauty and the Beast
Written For: smartycat
Request written: Belle discovers a story similar to her own in a book in the library and her active imagination starts wondering.
Rating: G
AN: Thank you very much, prpl_pen, for the beta.

( Josephine et André )

Title: Snapshots
Written For: adesso
Request written: Avatar hijinks! The Gaang + Zuko, shortly before the finale. Just some general dorkiness.
External Link: Calscripts
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Rating: G
Genre: vignette, humor, some action maybe?
Word Count: 1879

Summary: Four ancedotes involving Zuko's time with the individual members of the Gaang.

A/N: Thanks to the fabulous abarero for beta-reading and feeding my ego. XD

( Snapshots )

Just a reminder that we'd like if you could try your hardest to post your gift by the end of Christmas Eve. Please let me know if you need a beta reader. We will find one for you. If something comes up where you cannot write your assignment, PLEASE let me know as soon as possible.

The First Nine Times
by midvacent
Rating: Mature, for swear words.
Spoilers: For S4 DW final and speculation of S2 of TW.
Summary: And he really, really shouldn't be doing this, but damn if it doesn't feel good. A Jenny and Jack story.
To ophelia_winters, this is all for you, I hope you like it.
Thanks to belantana, for the most fantastic beta-ing service.
Thanks to haro for himitsu_santa and general awesomeness, it was a wonderful secret santa experience.


If there's one thing Jack knows can seduce people, its food. Not that he's trying to do that, of course

Hello to everyone. Just a reminder that as it is December first now, you may begin posting your Secret Santas at any time. You have from now until Christmas Eve to post. If you have any questions, let me know. Additionally, if you have time, PLEASE try to get your fic beta read. You may email you if you need a beta reader and I'll hook you up with one. :)

Have fun!
-haro

Assignments have been sent out! Any questions can be emailed to me (or you can reply here).

If you did not receive your assignment, let me know ASAP. Thanks!

Also, read the entire email as there is important information contained wherein.

I'd like to offer optional beta reading for those who wish to have their fic looked over but don't have a beta reader elsewhere they wish to use. Please take the time to get your fic beta-ed.

If you are willing to beta read a few fics here and there, let me know here. This may possibly be of great help to others, but will not be a major obligation for you. (as in you won't be asked to do it more than a few times) If you agree, a list of names (including yours) will be given to people who ask for beta readers for your fandom (although I won't give it to them if the content is something you're uncomfortable with) and they will contact someone on the list (possibly you).

Please reply with fandoms you'd be willing to beta for if you're up to it, as well as an email the author could contact you at. Comments are screened. This is totally optional. ^.^

Good luck all. Have fun. ♥

I've done this in previous years and it's made things much easier. You are not required to do this, but I would highly suggest it as it is very helpful and will also be useful in possibly getting you something you know you'll be comfortable writing/drawing.

I am placing all the himitsu_santa requests under a cut. They are anonymous of course, but sorted and numbered by fandom.

I would like you to choose three to five requests you'd be most interested in writing/drawing. If there aren't that many, list as many as you can. There is no guarantee at all that you will get what you're interested in most, but I will try and this will help me greatly in matching people up. Comments are screened. Please get these in by Friday Night at Midnight.

( Santa's Bag of Requests... )

You don't need to copy the whole request in reply. Just do it something like this.

1- Sideways Stories from Wayside School #1
2- Peewee's Playhouse #5
3- Salute Your Shorts #2
4- Doug #15
5- Darkwing Duck #4

Thanks!

If you did not get a chance to sign-up but are still interested, I will go ahead and let you slip in. I will NOT take any sign-ups past Friday night though.

Just a reminder that himitsu_santa signups are due Saturday the 25th.

PLEASE GO SUBMIT YOURS HERE!

You can also reply to the preliminary fandoms post HERE if you wish.

Here's the sign up form!

Please include:

Name:

Lj username:

Requests:
Be as specific or as broad as you'd like. These can be something specific like "ShinnxLunamaria romance/fluff. Taking place after phase fifty with her reuniting with Meyrin as one of the focuses." Or it can be something as broad as "Piece about Neville." It's up to you. Please make sure to mention the series your request comes from. Also, please note anything you'd like to not be in your fic at all costs. "I would like the Neville piece to not be romance." Please request at least three fics or pieces of art but no more than four. List your requests by priority of what you'd like most. You can request more than one piece per fandom. Check the user info for potential fandoms. Do not make a request for a fandom not listed in the userinfo.

NOTE: I'm going to keep the fandom post open for any new participants that might come along. As such, if there's something you want to request that is not in the userinfo interests, you may want to wait until closer to the sign-up deadline to see if it gets added. Then if it does, submit your request for that fandom. You can ALWAYS modify your requests as long as you do so before the sign-up deadline on the twenty-fifth.

Willing to Write/Draw:
This is where you put the fandoms you're willing to write or draw. I'd also take this chance to specify the pairings/genre you'd be up to doing as well. List EVERY fandom you'd be willing to do.

Can't Write/Not Comfortable Writing/Drawing:
And here is where you list what you won't write. There's no need to list fandoms here, because I won't pull any fandom that isn't on your "willing to write" list. You do not need to be super-specific here. It can be "no smut," just as easily as it can be "no Tosh/Owen smut." Either is fine. You could even say "I won't do HP dark!fic unless it's these/this characters," or whatever.

Can you do fic, art or both?:

Sample Form:
(Err... this isn't my actual form. xp )

Name: Kelly
Lj username: haro
Email Address: kazenoyume at gmail.com

Requests:
1- KohakuxRin- Light fluff taking place post-series. (InuYasha)
2- Hermione and Luna platonic fic. No romance, can take place any time before or after canon. (Harry Potter)
3- Rose and Donna- Alternate Universe after Turn Left. The time machine doesn't work and Rose and Donna have to find a way to break out of the scarab's universe another way. No ships but Ten/Rose or Donna/Rose if you want to try it. (Doctor Who)

Willing to Write:
InuYasha (Am partial to KagomexInuYasha but will do other pairings.)
Bleach
Heroes (No incest, any other pairing is fine)
Harry Potter (No studentxteacher- no non-canon)
Pushing Daisies (No angst or smut)
Fullmetal Alchemist (Mangaverse only)

Can't Write/Not Comfortable:
-Smut (except for House M.D.)
-Dark!fic (general angst is fine, but I like at least a hopeful ending.)
-Pairings with large age gaps.
-Songfics

Can you do fic, art or both?:
Fic and art. I would prefer to do fic, but could do art if needed.

So here goes-

Hello all.

Before I post the form for sign-up, there's something else I'd like you to do.

Please reply and list all fandoms you'd be willing to try and write for. Don't worry about what you'd like to receive right now.

Why am I asking for this?
So you don't feel like you're limited to just a few fandoms you know are well represented here. We've got a very eclectic bunch of fans here, so the chance is there may be someone out there that can write for a less popular fandom. All fandoms will be added to the interests if at least two people list them. The interests are empty right now, but they will be filling up as you reply. That way if it's in there, you'll know someone else but you is willing to write it/wants to receive it. For example, there may just be that person out there that can write you something for that favored obscure fandom.

This is not the sign up form. I'll be posting that on 10/10/08. This is just something preliminary. You don't have to do it either. It's just something that I have found to be helpful. Replying to this is not an absolute promise to participate either. You may back out with no problems by not submitting a request later on.

Comments are screened to keep everything secret.~~ ;)

Here's the schedule for himitsu_santa this year:
October 10th Sign-up form posted
October 25th- Sign-ups due
November 1st- Assignments sent out
December 1st-25th- Period of time in which your completed Secret Santa fics/artworks can be posted.

You are more than welcome (and encouraged) to pimp this community out to your friends.

Thanks!

Uh...Happy New Year? #^_^#

Title: No Regrets
Fandom: Inuyasha
Genre: Romanca/Drama, I guess?
Written For: tragicamente
Rating: PG
Summary: Time eventually heals all wounds and opens doors to new possibilities.
Request Written: Miroku/Kagome - getting together for the first time. UST would be great and Miroku getting posessive.
Additional Notes: Thanks to planetgal471 for being the best beta-reader ever! <3

(Fake cut to Fanfiction.net, because it's pretty long)

Moar Notes:

Sorry this took so long. I feel like Mir/Kag needs a lot of set-up to work, and I was determined to write it so that I could accept it, too. This is my first attempt at it, so I hope it's alright. It's essentially a series of related, chronological drapples so I could just show the important bits of what went on. I have more notes over on the fanfiction.net post too that should clear up any storyline issue thingies. I hope. :)
