We have a winner for the first gift of the season! Santa sends drabbles...

Come and see! )

Here's the deal: Your Santas are trying to make your holidays SUPER FANTASTIC, and to do that....sometimes they need a little help. If there's a question for you here, just comment with a response, and Santa'll make sure to make the necessary adjustments ;). Questions, like everything else, will be tagged with your username, so if you ever want to make sure you didn't miss anything, it'll be quite easy. Fun! :) Alternately, if you HAVE any questions you need to ask your giftee, just send them to me at the comm. E-mail. Make sure to include their username, and I'll get them posted ASAP.

Teaser gifts!

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
VM--JP 4EVA!!
Just a few notes if you plan on making any:

If you're sending graphics, you can send them either as an attachment, or just send me the link. I upload all of them to a different account, so it doesn't matter if they're on your server--you recipient won't see that. If you could include the recipient's name somewhere in the filename, it would help, but if you can't, no worries.

As for fic, I'd prefer it if you could send it in a text file. If it's going to need any LJ-formatting--a cut, bold, italics, whatever--it'd help me immensely if you included that in the file.

For anything not fic or graphic related, like a video, or fanmix, or whatever, upload it to a service (such as www.yousendit.com) and send the link along.

I hope this helps! I know posting each teaser gift in a separate post is kind of spammy for the FL, but I think it makes it easier for people to track down their own gift. I'm trying to keep it to one posting period a day, so at least you can just skim through all of the entries at once. Also, we have TAGS. They make things much happier! :)

You can send everything (including questions for your recipient) to vm.santa@gmail.com.

Also, a while back, [info]rejeneration made a really helpful guide to basic HTML, so if you neeed any help coding your fic, you should check it out! This is information that's universally helpful, so take a look if you have some questions!

Back-up gifters!

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
VM--LoVe BATHROOM MAKEOUT! ;)
I'm ALMOST done with the comm. spamming, I promise! :)

While I HOPE that all of you are going to be able to produce, I know that sometimes things come up that event he best intentions can't remedy. If, on the off-chance that someone drops out and you'd be willing to provide a back-up gift, PLEASE comment here. You'll only be called upon on an as-needed basis. My hope is that everyone here receives a gift, and that can only happen if there are some people willing to step up if necessary. *bats eyes prettily*

All assignments have now been sent! If you haven't gotten yours, please let me know! :)

Hello, [info]vm_santaers!

Sign-ups are now officially closed (although, FINE, if someone signed up before I matched assignments, it would still be TOTALLY OKAY). I'm very pleased to announce that, despite the show being off our screens for these past few years, we're still at over thirty particpants for the exchange this year. That? NOT BAD. NOT BAD AT ALL. Thank you all for being here! :)

While I'd love to get all of the assignments sent out TODAY, that might not (quite) happen. I'm running *three* Santa communities this year, all on the same timeline, so it'll take me some time to get all of the matching done. Expect an E-mail from me sometime within the next day or two, though. Giftwise, all you need to do is try your best to fulfill some/all/random parts of their request. Then, between December 24 and January 1, everyone will post their final gifts and reveal their identities to the recipient. Simple, right? If you are unable to post within that time frame, it's not a problem. Just E-mail me the gift (and when you prefer I put it up), and I'll post it on your behalf.

If any of you are feeling overly ambitious, though, some people have made "teaser" gifts. These are smaller than the final gift--an icon or two here, a drabble or short fic there--that are given BEFORE the final reveal. Meaning, to maintain your Santalike anonymity, these gifts should be E-mailed to me at vm.santa@gmail.com so I can put them up. You are by no means required to make anything other than the final gift, but if the holiday spirit hits you and you feel like going above and beyond, there's no limit to your creativity. And, let's face it, presents are fun, and extra presents are extra fun, so there is no bad in this situation.

Next item: Beta readers. There is going to be a LOT of fic written here. While some of you may have a regular beta, I know many people don't. If you'd be willing to be available for beta help to anyone in this community who writes a fic, PLEASE comment in my next post with an E-mail address beta-needers can reach you at, and any list of stipulations or limitations on what you'll beta (I'll beta L/V ONLY, no NC-17, no het, whatever). I'll compile all of the beta readers in a list, and there'll be a memory link on the main page leading to it. I'll also tag it, to make it even more accessible.

Last item: Back-up gifters. While I HOPE that all of you are going to be able to produce, I know that sometimes things come up that event he best intentions can't remedy. If, on the off-chance that someone drops out and you'd be willing to provide a back-up gift, PLEASE comment in the post I will be making shortly. You'll only be called upon on an as-needed basis. My hope is that everyone here receives a gift, and that can only happen if there are some people willing to step up if necessary.

Okay, then. All lists have been saved to the community memories (the link is on the main page), and tagged with "2009 wishlist" as well as the lj name of the user, should you need to find one quickly. All gifts will be tagged with the recipient, so things should be pretty easy to find. *knock on wood* (And note that tagging won't allow an underscore as the first character, so if a username starts with any underscores, the tag will start with the first actual character. So "_username" would be tagged as "username".)

I'll edit this post when all of the assignments have been sent out, so at that point, if you haven't received one, you can let me know. If you have any other questions that aren't covered here or in the community info, feel free to comment here or E-mail me at vm.santa@gmail.com, and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Thank you again, everyone, for finding your way over here! THE HOLIDAYS ARE FULL OF WIN! :)

Getting in just under the wire.

E-mail address: dionneshea@livejournal.com

Things I'd like: Mostly fic or vids. A fanmix would be cool, too. I ship Veronica/Weevil, but I could also go for some just general fic. If we want to be VERY specific, I've always wanted a V/W video to "Call and Answer" by the Barenaked Ladies. One thing I don't want is anything Logan/Veronica. I love Logan as a character (at least jackass-Logan), but I do not ship them at all.

What I can do: I can write fic. I can also do icons, banners, or a fanmix. Mood theme probably, too.

What I absolutely CAN'T do: Can't write LoVe. Just can't do it. I also don't have a powerful enough computer to do vids.

Things I'd like:

Note: My fav pairing is Veronica/Logan. They're also my fav characters.

Icons: I love having new icons. Pretty and simple is my thing. You can take a look at my userpics to get an idea. I like funny icons too.

Moodtheme: A Veronica moodtheme would be great. An animated, cool and funny moodtheme would be AWESOME.

Fanmixes: New music is always welcome.

What I can do: Graphics, fanmixes, fan videos, picspams.

What I absolutely CAN'T do: Fanfic. I suck at it. Sorry.

This is a final reminder that sign-ups end

TONIGHT

at midnight EST! Make sure to get your wishlist up before then if you want to play! :)

As for bookkeeping matters: I'll begin matching up assignments tomorrow, but first, that means having everyone who has submitted a list. Please take a second to check and make sure, if you've posted one, that I have a wish list for you. If for some reason, I messed up and you're NOT on this list, please drop me a comment so I can get you added.

Thanks!

E-mail address: no.place.special@gmail.com

Things I'd like: weevil/veronica fic is at the top of the list, because there will NEVER BE ENOUGH! im also cool with veronica/leo, dick/mac, veronica/lamb, lamb/keith friendship, keith/veronica adorable daddy-daughter-ness, and though im not overly fond of the 3rd season, i love parker and i have a secret thing for mac/piz. haha yes, im a pairing whore. im open to anything - fic would be preferred, but graphics, vids, whatever. im not picky. (but srsly, w/v? would be AWESOME.)

What I can do: fic, icons, banners, wallpapers....depending on the subject i might be able to do a fanmix or vid...im pretty open.

What I absolutely CAN'T do: basically anything with logan or duncan. im sorry, i know theyre pretty major characters, but i have no interest whatsoever, and i never paid enough attention to them onscreen to feel like ive got all that good of a handle on their characters. cant stand veronica/piz either.
This is even more last-minute, but I'm excited to be able to participate in my first-ever VM Santa!


E-mail address: jenedorspas@yahoo.com
Things I'd like: Well! What I would like the most is fic. My favorite things, roughly in order, are: (1) Veronica/Lamb (especially smutty yet still in character); (2) Veronica/Weevil (especially when they actually get together, and not way off in the future); (3) Veronica/Leo; (4) Veronica in other unconventional pairings. If fic is a no-go, then I’d probably also enjoy vids involving the above characters, or graphics of some sort.
What I can do: I can write; I’ve only really ever written Veronica/Lamb and Veronica/Weevil, and I’d probably feel most comfortable with those or other “unconventional” pairings or characters that aren’t as popular in fic, but I’m completely willing to give anything a shot. I could also probably manage some icons or banners or wallpapers, but fic would be the best bet.
What I absolutely CAN'T do: The only things I 100% can’t do are moodthemes and videos (I’d love to try a video, but I don’t think I could figure it all out in time). And…please don’t make me write anything sexy involving Keith Mars.

There's nothing in the world like waiting until the last minute, is there?

E-mail address: ashleigh.fang@gmail.com
Things I'd like: Fic, please! Specifically, Mac/Dick...It's been a while since I've seen anything about them. I tend to like the more angsty than humorous or whatever (they're not a very humorous pairing after all). Something I'd also like to see that I meant to make myself for a very long time, and never got around to, and don't think my computer could handle any more, a Veronica/Duncan video (complimentary, shippy please) set to Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" (the long version, if it doesn't break your brain, lol!) Or, a Veronica/Weevil piece where they actually get together, set either some time during the series, or total AU. (In other words, not future fic, if you don't mind.)
What I can do: I write! I've written most characters in this fandom at some point, but most often has been Veronica/Weevil, some Veronica/Leo, and I love Veronica/Duncan, and have been feeling them quite a bit lately, so if anyone asks, I can handle it. I love Lilly, and Mac/Dick as well.
What I absolutely CAN'T do: No graphics, no vids. I do not think any happy thoughts about Logan, I don't think I'd write anything complimentary about him, ever, even if I tried really hard. Sorry :)

Things I'd like: I would prefer to get art than fic, to be honest; art under forms like icons, banners, love bars, or fan mixes - all these I sort of suck at doing. Fic is the ultimate resort, if nothing else works :-) I ship Logan/Veronica, Lamb/Veronica, and sometimes Leo/Veronica. I'm all for angst and drama, but with a somewhat indulgent end.
What I can do: I can write. My ships are those I mentioned above, but they're not necessarily the only ones. I can throw Lily in, shipped with Weevil, and I can ship Weevil/Veronica as well, need it be. I can also write Mac if you ask me nicely ;-)
What I absolutely CAN'T do: NO DUNCAN KEANE THANK YOU VERY MUCH. No parents. No slash, femmeslash, extreme violence/kinks/gore, PWP, rape, non/dub-con, incest and inter-generation relationships.
E-mail address: fluffmonti at gmail dot com
Things I'd like: VM Icons, a VM banner, fanmixes, videos, a list of drabbles about all the characters in VM, an epic season 4 case fic putting Logan as the suspect but ultimately ending up Logan/Veronica, a far off in the future fic showing where all the characters are now, an awesome schmoopy fic with Dick/Mac that is also plausible and IC, a friendship fic w/ Dick and Logan, a sympathic Cassidy fic that still remains IC. Anything Logan centric is great.
What I can do: I'm pretty much a one-trick pony. I can do a fanmix though it would be kinda lame because I can't do the art. I excel in fic. Any kind of fic.
What I absolutely CAN'T do: I can't write Veronica paired up with anyone else other than Logan, but oddly enough, I can write something pairing Logan with someone else. I think that says a lot about my Logan sympathies, or that maybe Logan is just a manwhore. I can't do icons or banners.

E-mail address:rainsunsets@gmail.com

Things I'd like: I would love season 1 Icons or a header. Fic is also great Im mainly Logan/Veronica but I also like Veronica/Weevil or just veronica friendship or mystery fics.

What I can do: Fic of any raiting but I'm best with R NC-17, I can do a LoVe centre video and im okay with making icons.

What I absolutely CAN'T do: Moodthemes, Veronica Piz fanfiction,Keith centre fanfiction.

Things I'd like: Fic! Veronica-Piz (there is a drought!!!!) or Mac-Piz. Or Mac-centered. Ooh, Dick-centered post-season 2 fics with comedy-angst.
What I can do: Veronica-Mac friendship fics, Mystery-of-the-week fics (you set the time frame), request-specific mysteries (the more restrictions you put on me, the better), Veronica-Piz friendship and Veronica-Piz ship. One shots or multi-chapters. Can also attempt, if wished for, kid-fics (grade school Veronica solves crime?!)
What I absolutely CAN'T do: Logan-Veronica (Sorry, I just... can't), Lamb-Veronica or Wallace-Veronica fics, can't do favids or icons. I'm not very good at slash.

VM--Yummy Logan vm_santa! (mutinousmuse)
Hello, everyone!

There are only a few days left to sign-up for [info]vm_santa! This is just a brief reminder to let you know that there is STILL time. Time for what, you ask? Time to post your wishlists, if you've been watching and waiting. Time to get your friends to sign up. Time to modify a list you already posted. There are OPTIONS, people!

The gift exchange is going to be all kinds of fun, and I'm excited to see how many more VM fans will join us before it's all over. Thank you all for being a part of this, and keep the wishing coming!

I'll be back at the end of the month ;).

/end gratuitous reminder

E-mail address: lilangeldiva0202@msn.com

Things I'd like: 1.) Any LoVe art would be much appreciated! I'm not picky about the scenes or anything, just as long as it's a semi "happy" themed art! *Note- I am a sucker for the "Epic" scene, so please feel free to make super angsty art for that scene if you'd like!
2.) LoVe fanfic post S3 where they have worked things out and art back together!
3.) Animated & non-animated icons of the "Epic" scene.
4.) Animated &/OR non-animated icons of the "Annoy tiny blond one, annoy like the wind." scene.
5.) Veronica/Duncan art from their scene in 1x21 "A trip to the dentist" where she confronts him about sleeping with her. I'm a huge LoVe fan, but DuVe were really cute and this scene is beyond amazing! {If you could include some of these lines, that would be even better!: "I tried to just cut you out of my life. I loved you! I tried not to, I tried not to, but it won't go away!"

What I can do: I can do banners, icons & headers. And i think i can manage a Veronica fanmix and a LoVe fanmix. Ooh and a Dick fanmix!

What I absolutely CAN'T do: Fanvids, fanfic or any kind of coding/layouts.

E-mail address: zaftig (underscore) goddess (at) hotmail (dot) com
Things I'd like: Fic is at the top of my list, especially LoVe fic, preferably with a happy or hopeful ending, I particularly like post-season 3 fics; I also love Mac/Weevil fics. I only read Veronica with someone other than Logan if it is smut - I have a particular kink for dirty, dirty Veronica/Lamb smut, but would not turn my nose up at Veronica/Weevil smut, or Logan/Weevil or Weevil/Veronica/Logan smut. I am not a fan of Duncan or femslash. I have no icons and my journal is bare, although I confess that if someone made me a mood theme I would be clueless as to how to apply it to my journal. I am technically inept.
What I can do: Fic of any rating, although I am probably most comfortable with R or NC-17. I can write down and dirty smut for most chararcters/pairings, although I cannot write femslash, and I'm pretty sure I couldn't write lovey-smut of Veronica/Piz.
What I absolutely CAN'T do: graphics of any kind, femslash, Keith-centric smut (just can't go there!)

Veronica Mars | LoVe the new credits
E-mail address: unfloopy @ gmail.com
Things I'd like: LoVe fic of any kind: fluffy, angsty, smutty, it's all good. I would rather see a happy ending, 'cause life is already hard as it is. I also don't mind other people showing up, as long as they end up together. I also really love fics about what happened after the end of the series.
What I can do: Graphics (I'm better with icons, but I can also make wallpapers or headers or banners or something like that). I also love making fanmixes (but I won't do a subject I've done before --- I would love to try my hand at a Veronica mix, though, if anyone would want that).
What I absolutely CAN'T do: Fic, vids, moodthemes, fanmix for something I've done before (which is LoVe, Logan and a imaginary s4 of LoVe). I would rather work with LoVe or Logan or Veronica, and also I don't really wanna do stuff focusing on Piz, Duncan, Madison, Lamb or pairings other than LoVe.
