This is a thread just for the Advent Calendar this year ^^ A place to organize all the little goodies and plan out what to do and such for the Calendar ^^ Sailor Mercury can always use the help! So, if you'd like to make something for the Calendar, be sure to mention it below and what you could/would like to make for it!! ^^

i can make signatures, avatars and wallpapers, in case anyone wants it. just let me know before the 10th

I can also make signatures, bumpers, avatars, wallpapers, pretty much anything graphics wise xD

I'm free to make signatures, avatars, bumpers, etc. ^^

i can make siggies, avies and bumpers all that good stuff too

I'll be running htis as usual. However, the official name of this (since i run it every year xD) is "Festibration Count Down Calendar" cause A. Advent has too many religious connotations, B.) we don't actually follow it like the advent calender, and C.) we only do two weeks until new years. xD

I can make Christmas adoptables and Christmas phone wallpapers if people can let me know what sizes and formats to save them in

i can make siggies and avvies! just let me know in advance so i can start prepping up goodies!

Okie, please start submitting your graphics. The Calendar is going to run DEC 18TH THROUGH JAN 1ST.

Deadline for graphics is DEC 13TH.


@Queen, for phone wallpapers, haine made 1136x640 size for the anni and I think they work fine.
And here are some other sizes i have from phone wallpapers from a previous event:
240x400
240x432
320x480
480x320
480x360
480x800
640x480
640x1136
800x480
1024x600
1280x720

Though you don't need to make sizes for all of those. I think most smart phones these days will let you adjust and crop the bigger sized images to what you want for you wallpaper. As far as format, as long as its like .jpg or .png it should be fine. All smart phones (iphone, android, or windows) should be able to read those types of image files.



I will be making ringtones and open a request thread, taking the first 10 or so requests (because i already have a bunch stock piled up... >.>).

If I can I'll try help out with avatars and siggies!

Please post your submissions here once you've made them: http://www.thegalaxycauldronforums.com/t8694-festibration-countdown-calendar-submission-thread

Thanks!


Also if anyone has ideas for other things to include, please let me know. :O


AlsO I'd like to see little coupons for member services again. Ya know, like a free sig or fanfic request, something like that.

Think we could make "coupons" for free sprites or adoptables? Or would coupons for those go to party planners again since they're something more time consuming for Queenie? xD

I think something like a free avatar change would be nice. and save something like a free sprite or adoptable for the party members. I know we (admins) were trying to think of something like that.

Id also like to have sign ups for people that want to offer their services too. So we can have a few different types of "coupons".

I'd like to offer a fanfiction coupon but are we allowed to put limiters on it like keep it pg thirteen or say we can't do certain pairings because there are some I know I can't write because I can't get into the characters head space properly and  I don't want to give someone something that isn't my best work.

I was thinking for the fanfiction thing if other people are going to offer it, have the person who has the coupon name like 3 pairings or groups of characters they want and 3 scenarios which gives the writers a bit of wiggle room.

There's already something in works for avatar and sprites xD shhhh its a surprise!

That's fine and understandable. To keep the coupons simple and from becoming too wordy, we could just post a disclaimer on the day a fanfic request comes up stating that some restrictions may apply and will be up to the author. We haven't really had a problem with this in the past, but I don't mind adding something like that in.

I would still like at least one type of coupon specifically for the calendar. Whatever surprise you're talking about, please let me know since I'm kinda planning this. xD

All the eggs will be really similar to the egg already posted, mostly just with different planet symbols.


I've also posted a wallpaper, but I make 2 of each because I don't like the android way wallpapers are picked/set up, sooo, may tweak it.

Hai here to say I will help manage the calendar with you lot <3

I can promote the event everywhere

Thank you thank you! Mars, you can help me set up the calendar pages ahead of time like we did for last year. xD

Just a check in! I see I've gotten quite a few goodies in! thank you!

As a reminder: The Calendar is going to run DEC 18TH THROUGH JAN 1ST.

Deadline for graphics is DEC 13TH.



Does anyone else want to volunteer services for a coupon?  Examples would be like a free signature request, fanfic request, etc.


Members who have offered so far:
Addelyn - fic request, with some restrictions
Small Lady - signature request
Small Lady - 1 ringtone of your choosing (any song, doesn't have to be SM)
Sailor Mercury - fic request, with some restrictions
Goddess Saturn - avatar, sig, bumpers
Mysteryloveandjustice - Any Graphic of your choice

I'd love to offer a fic request too I'll probably require them to give me like 3 different prompts based on preference in case their first one I just feel I'm incapable of writing. But I'm pretty easy unless it's a pairing/character I literally can't stand.

Well, I can volunteer to make avatars, signatures and bumpers for a coupon. They don't have to be SM related.

And I'm also currently working on the graphics for the advent calendar! I will finish them soon

That's pretty much what my restrictions are Mercury for the same reasons lol xD

Awesome! Thank you to both of you!

I could do a coupon for a graphic  Like any type of graphic i.e. wallpaper, header, etc. ^^ It can be anything and about anyone or any ship they want ^^

Question, is that one coupon each? so like coupon for free avatar, coupon for sig, etc. Or like one coupon that says "avatar, sig, or bumper of your choice"?



@Mystery, awesome! Thanks!

I'm popping in to say that I could offer up a manga-panel-coloring-coupon like I've done in past years. I can't really help out so much in other areas as things are hectic for me at the moment, but I could offer a coupon, if you still have need of another xD

If you feel like you can and have the time for the request, sure!  I will probably have the coupons to be used between the day they get them until like end of March or something?


Annnnd updated list! This is great so far. Thanks a lot everyone!
