I HAVEN'T BEEN ON F!S IN A LONG TIME BUT ILU TOO

the art you made for me was so adorbs

thank you!!!!


<3

[kaijinscendre]

Thank you to whoever got me The Binding of Isaac and the Penumbra Collector's Edition! I have not been able to play them because Steam has been pretty iffy all day, but the trailers I saw looked pretty good and exactly what I was looking for!

[writerserenyty]

oooh, The Binding of Isaac is so good. It's one of the top games in my steam library in terms of time played. It's the type of game that will last you a long time. Your SS has good taste =D

HEY! LOOK HERE MY NOT SO SECRET SANTA!

[fingalsanteater]

Even if you hadn't linked me to youtube, where your name was so prominently displayed, I would've recognized your dulcet tones anywhere.

My fiance loved the gift you made me so much, he made a DVD of your reading and a DVD cover:


My wonderful gift, for those who are curious.

Thank you CHARDMONSTER. (And Noodles, whe seemed more a hindrance than a help, though he did lend his Monarch-esque voice to Garak.)

Re: HEY! LOOK HERE MY NOT SO SECRET SANTA!

[chardmonster]

THIS IS FRICKING AMAZING THANK YOU GUYS

I'm really glad you liked it!

[badass_tiger]

Thanks to my Secret Santa for the hand-made card with my Pokemon team drawn on it! Oh my gosh it's so adorable and all my darling Pokemon are on it, I can't wait to get it in the mail <33

[sootyowl]

Hope you like it when you get it! All the Pokemon in the card are removable :) It should be there soon (between the 28th and 1st). I'm sorry it didn't make it in time for Christmas. Sending mail across the world takes so long :(

(You're my first national mail recipient as well! I've never sent anything outside of Canada, so I hope it arrives safely!)

[forgottenjester]

Dear Secret Santa,

The art you drew me was very, very cute and adorable. I like them a considerable amount and very much appreciate how much time and effort you probably put into drawing them. I want to thank you dearly for your present. It was nice when I got it too because I'm home alone right now. It made me feel better. Cecil and Carlos are cutie-patooties under the mistletoe and Chihiro's picture made me giggle. I like her expression. So, really, thank you so much for giving me a gift. You're so wonderful and great. Merry Christmas to you. <3

[vethica]

Looks like we're revealing, so, uh, that was me. I'm really glad you liked the pictures. :) I know I'm not a great artist but I tried really hard to make these nice and I hope that came through. It seems like maybe it did. C: Thank you so much for your nice words man and merry holiday to you! ♥

[queerwolf]

To my giftee: I already said some of this in my note, but I really hope you enjoyed your fic despite the lack of porn. Hopefully it wasn't too cheesy. I realized that I didn't give a whole lot of screentime to them when they were finally in the same room, but I'm thinking of writing a companion piece that has more of them together.

To the person who wrote my fic: it was perfect. I loved that Kevin was alive and plotting to get Sam and Dean to get over themselves. They really are in a vicious cycle that makes everyone around them suffer.

It was awesome that Crowley didn't actually kill Kevin's mom and let them know where she was. Kevin is one of my favorite characters these days and I hope the show somehow fixes it.

I also thought the end was sweet, especially Dean getting excited over homemade ornaments since they missed that growing up.

Thanks so much for writing it for me!! Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays :)

To case: this was fun and I'd love to do it again. One request for the future: a scenario or prompt if writing fic and maybe a list of preferred kinks?

Thanks for all of your hard work in putting this together and for the everyday posts too!

[spacebabie]

Glad you enjoyed it and I hoped you had a great Christmas.

[nightscale]

Dear Secret Santa,

Omg I love you, like really love you lots right now. You were completely right on the mark with the Tali picture you drew for me and I had the stupidest grin on my face when I opened the file. It's gorgeous and I love it! Thank you very much. :)

To Case and little helper Woopers, you guys have done a really good job with this, I had a lot of fun coming up with something for my giftee and this is something I would be more than happy to do again.

To my recipient: I've never drawn those characters before and I'm not familiar with the fandom but I hope you liked it.

[(Anonymous)]

Dear Nightscale,

I am very happy you liked the present! It was so much fun to draw and I am very happy to have had the opportunity!

I wish you the very best of christmas and that you'll have some relaxing and fun days ahead of you.

Oh. My. God. I love you. I love you so much. Their smiles. Innes with a fishing rod. Damn oh my god they look so happy. THIS IS MY OFFICIAL HEADCANON FOR THE SIXTH EPISODE. THEY JUST SAT THERE SMILING AND DRINKING THE DAMN TEA AND WISHING EACH OTHER MERRY CHRISTMAS. THERE WERE NO MURDERS.

But seriously, dear Secret Santa, just so that you realize what you have done: this is the fist Murder Rooms fanwork in four years that was not created by me. I've literally waited four years for this to happen.

THIS IS THE MURDER ROOMS BLUE CARBUNCLE.

I love you so, so much for including Innes in the picture. They're totally my brot3. Innes is a fan of Holmes stories and simultaneously a fan of Bell.

This gift just made my Christmas. It is brilliantly done (believe me, I'm a fellow artist - even if I have less skills, I still know a bloody good work when I see one), and OH MY GOD. let me smash my keyboard some more???????? I am dying to know who you are. There aren't many Murder Rooms folks out there. Can't be. *laughs like a madman, runs around smashing things* excuse me while I go and stare at their smiling faces some fucking more

I lITERALLY lost all ability to CaN??? this is a gift I'll remember for years no for life because MURDER ROOMS
I thought my Secret Santa would write ACD Holmes, and thEN

ETA: oh, and, if you tell me that you're ok with me posting it here, I'll post it?? BECAUSE fgdfklgjtlhjtr;hjtrrh

[(Anonymous)]

Dear Dreemyweird,

I am absolutely delighted that you liked the picture and this: "THIS IS MY OFFICIAL HEADCANON FOR THE SIXTH EPISODE. THEY JUST SAT THERE SMILING AND DRINKING THE DAMN TEA AND WISHING EACH OTHER MERRY CHRISTMAS. THERE WERE NO MURDERS." were almost my thoughts exactly, so I'm very happy at the moment!

Also, thank you so much for the prompt! I had never heard of murder rooms before I read your wishlist, but it was so very obvious how much you liked it and it sounded delightful so you actually got me to binge on this gem of a series and then flail about for a few days before I could actually calm down enough to sit down. I hope this is another present to you, because you have converted me and I am not looking back :).

Best wishes to you and have a very fun christmas!

-theturtlelives - elf

RE ETA: Also sure, it's your present, feel free to do whatever you want with it, no taking back ;).

[vethica]

!!!!!!!!!!!!

Secret Santa person! You drew me JCA!! You drew a super uncommon ship that I love ffff dude you are super cool and also the best!!! ♥ Thank you so much dude seriously a lot. aaaaahhhhhhh good jca gift art best day ♥

And to my recipient, I'm sorry I'm not a better artist. But I tried really hard and I hope you got some kind of happiness out of my gift. c:

[(Anonymous)]

So glad you like! Hope it wasn't creepy how obviously I trawled your journal for inspiration. And as promised I am working on recoloring it right now!

[ggc]

To my gift-giver(s):

Oh my gosh thank you! That was the cutest fic ever and the narration was so spot-on for the show and I was all like "woah, in-character cute fic whaaat how did they write this with so little time omg"

(And fanart. I was all :O :O :O, staring at the cutest Pokémons ever. :D Thank you!!!)

<3<3<3<3<3 etc. :D

To my recipient:

I was all like jittery and anticipatory and stuff while working on it. I hope you liked my gift!

To case:

You have the patience of a saint. :0 Thank you for arranging this!

[nightscale]

Un-annoing because what the hell. I'm really glad you like the pokemon pics, I was a little worried that the pikachu looked creepy rather than cute, but apparently it worked so yay! I love pokemon myself so getting to draw some for you was a real treat. :3

[ginainthekingsroad]

To case and error: Thank you for all your hard work putting this thing together. I wanted to draw you guys something too but did not have enough time. :( But you guys did a wonderful job and I had a lot of fun! ♥

To my recipient: Thanks for picking something with characters I love, but I never would have drawn otherwise. I hope you liked it.

To my Secret Santa: Thank you for the fic! It was exactly what I wanted in the vein of funny missing adventure type stuff and I really appreciated the references to Dax's zhian'tara and I'm pretty sure Tholian silk is a thing from the series too, right? Thanks for taking the time to write something for me! :)

[error]

Don't worry about it, we're glad you enjoyed the experience and had fun! That was the idea! And Merry Christmas as well.

To my Santa

[dethtoll]

Thank you for the Prototype 2 DLC! Unfortunately the Steam store is being really fucky right now and I can't redeem it quite yet -- and previous experience tells me I may not get it at all because I don't own Prototype 2 yet :/

But don't worry, hopefully I can put it in my inventory and hold on to it until I do get the game.

Re: To my Santa

[kaijinscendre]

Oh no! That was me. Now I feel terrible! I didn't know that was just a DLC. D:

[shortysc22]

Dear Secret Santa,

I love you. I know I totally gave you almost nothing as far as prompts go but you managed a beautiful fic! It was amazing and totally put a smile on my face as I read it this morning. Yay! Thank you so much OMG!! (still flailing over here)

To case: thanks for this, it was super fun!

[(Anonymous)]

I'm so glad you liked it! And I had a lot of fun writing it.

I was really nervous because I normally don't show anyone my writing but I really like giving gifts so I wanted to try doing this secret Santa thing.

I'm so happy.

[anonymouslyyours]

To my General Secret Santa: Thank you! I am so excited you do not even know! I have a hard time justifying splurging on things for myself. Thinkgeek is one of those websites I've cast envious eyes at but never purchased anything for myself from for a very long time now. I've had bookmarked for a fair bit, finally got to order it a little while ago! <333333 this

To my Fandom Secret Santa: YOOOOOUUU! I'd really like to apologize for not really thinking my prompt through, hope it didn't cause you to stress! In any event you really turned it out! That was really cute, your Santiago was so IC and Peralta's banter was great and like my biggest narrative kink for B99 is the Captain being a steely-eyed softy for his husband. So that really hit the spot. Thank you so much!

[(Anonymous)]

Not sure if I can unanon yet but I'm so glad you liked it! I was excited to try writing B99 and I had a whole lot of fun writing it. So yeah, glad you enjoyed!

[spacebabie]

To my Secret Santa: The fic was just perfect and I'm going to read it again and again and again. It was romantic and sweet and made me feel warm and toasty. The perfect holiday treat.

To my recipient: I hope you enjoy you treat. I had fun creating it and I hope you enjoy your holidays.

Merry Christmas to all.

[thecrazyalaskan]

I wrote your fic, and I'm very glad you liked it so much. I wanted it to be really sweet since you said a nice Christmas theme. (:

Hope you had a great Christmas!

[hwc]

To my Secret Santa: Merlin/Lancelot? Outsider POV? WHY, IS IT CHRISTMAS ALREADY?!

I LOVE IT! Merlin/Lancelot is actually my favourite Merlin pairing, and the whole thing being from Gwaine's view is just the icing on the cake. Matchmaking Gwaine is the best. And I love your character voices. ("Sir Gwaine, the honorable Finisher of Fights and Tavern Connoisseur" LET ME LOVE YOU, SECRET SANTA!)

And there's a magic reveal! <333

If you want to post the fic somewhere that's absolutely fine with me. The world needs more Lancelot/Merlin, after all. And more Gwaine, but that goes without saying. ;)

Thank you so much! <3



To case and the Secret Santa Team: Thanks so much for organizing this exchange! And for letting me use the extension. <3

[fingalsanteater]

Omg omg I'm so glad you liked it!!!

This was the longest fic I've written and my first Merlin BBC fic (I started writing before I even finished watching the show, heh) and I'm so so so so happy that you liked it!

The world totally needs more Merlin/Lancelot and Gwaine (I was lamenting lack of Gwaine fic the other day). I was super happy with your prompts because this was actually something I wanted to write, though I didn't quite know it until I saw what you were interested in. Outsider POV is my fave too.

If you have an AO3 account, I was going to mark you as a gift recipient.

Also, thank you nursejoy, for your fabulous beta.

Anyway, I'm so happy you loved it and I literally squeed when I read this comment!!!!!

[tkeylasunset]

Dear dear Secret Santa,

I adore the pictures of Abbie and Ichabod you made for me. Like I LOVE them!!! I am going to make them into a header and put them in rotation on my LJ because they rock the very most.

Thank you thank you thank you!!! And Merry Christmas.

Love to you always!!!

-T

[nightscale]

I am so glad you like them I'm not really familiar with SH bar seeing the first episode and seeing some gifs on tumblr so I was super nervous about doing them(but Abbie is the best so I had to). I hope you had an awesome day and I am again really happy that you like them.

Lots of love to you too. :3

[flipthefrog.livejournal.com]

Dear Secret Santa,

I loved it <3. Firefly and horror are two great tastes that taste great together, and I loved the mix of real-world horror and hinted supernatural elements. Thanks for putting up with my allergic-to-fluff ass and I hope you had a happy holiday.

[lunabee34]

Yay! I'm glad you liked the story. :) I had a lot of fun writing it (and rewatching Firefly!). I'll be sure to link you when I post it to AO3; I'm not quite satisfied with the ending, and I think with a tweak or two I can do you one even better. :)

[thecrazyalaskan]

To my giftees: I hope you enjoy reading your fic and playing your game as much as I enjoyed writing it and picking it out. (:

To my Fandom Santa: LDJFHJBOUBOUBBFOIE Let me love you. <3 I absolutely adored this! It's amazing how well Carlos and Cecil fit into the Supernatural and Wreck-It Ralph universes-- personally, I would pay serious money to see more of the WIR universe, it was so well built. Coffee Shop was the perfect cross-section of what makes Welcome to Night Vale so unique, a normal universe overlaid with a healthy layer of bizarre-- "Prairie Home Companion" meets "The Twilight Zone" is the perfect comparison. The Hetalia one was a lovely way to end it. I loved the mention of Carlos' grandma talking about country gods... The description suits the Nations so well.

To my General Santa: Thank you so much for the Amazon gift card! I'm going to have to go hunting through my wishlist and what not to decide what I should get myself for Christmas now!

I had a ton of fun doing these, and I hope to do them again in the future! :D

[flipthefrog.livejournal.com]

I am really, really glad you enjoyed it, because I had no idea what I was doing other than "well, she said she liked AUs..." Apologies if anything was inaccurate to canon on the WIR part, since I have shamefully never seen it but thought the concept was fantastic. I have no idea if I'm going to post this anywhere, but if you're okay with it, I will definitely let you know before I do in case of final edits.

[yanjara.livejournal.com]

Dear Secret Santa,

Thank you so much for trawling through my wishlist and then giving me exactly what I wanted without ever knowing it. I love that you included awkward brother banter. And the Molly Thomas exchange was simply adorable (as was Justine, sooo precious). The gift brightened my evening considerably and I just hope you had the most fun christmas too! Merry Christmas!


Also to the Case and the Santa Team: Thank you so much. You were always so nice and efficient even at my inept questions. You did a marvelous job! I wish you a bowl of cookies and hope you will get all the relaxation you want in the coming days!

Merry Christmas to all of you!

-theturtlelives

[pantasma]

You are most welcome! I'm glad you liked it so much. I love writing awkward brother banter.

Hope you had a very Merry Christmas, and that it contributed so much to your evening.

Happy Holidays!

[sootyowl]

Dear F!S SS,

Thank you so much Secret Santa for my gift <33 I love my Klavier/Apollo fic. It was adorable and I loved Klavier noticing that Apollo had a special... ability. The inclusion of Kristoph and Klavier dealing with his brother's dual personalities was a great. I felt so bad for him when he was at the liquor store. Poor guy :( Having an evil brother is rough.

K/A's interactions were so cute and I love that there was a mini case! I totally think your fic is a missing case from AA5. The developers need to get on it! I really loved the last line as well ♥

Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!

Oh, and to Case and the other helpers, thanks for doing SS and setting everything up :)

Re: Happy Holidays!

[forgottenjester]

I am so glad you like my fic. >w< I worked hard on it and I don't write fic often.

Anyway, I'm so, so happy you like it. Your words are so sweet. I love them.

You're very welcome and Merry Christmas to you too.

[cassandraoftroy]

To my Secret Santa: Thank you so much! The fic was so adorable, and I always love Steve POV. I especially enjoyed the inclusion of Jane, who I feel like doesn't get enough love in the fandom. She and Thor were so cute in your fic <3

To my recipient: I really hope you enjoy it! When I read your request, I had the seed of an idea almost right away, and couldn't stop giggling. Thanks for the great prompt ^_^

[chardmonster]

DEAR SECRET SANTA:

Thank you very much for the Hunger Games fanfic!

Unfortunately I can't read it right now (I'm on the last book and I don't know if there's spoilers in there) but I should be finished with it in a couple days and able to give you feedback!

Again--thanks! This was really thoughtful. : )

[(Anonymous)]

I'm pretty sure there's only spoilers for the first book, but I hope you enjoy it. It's up to you when you read it, I understand. (I'm going to be away on vacation with the no Internet for a few days so I won't be able to read your response anyway)

Merry Christmas!

[tabaqui]

Dear Secret Fic Writer:

Wheeee!

Oh, super-fluffy and sweet and cute and i really did love it. No worries about the 'rating' - i'm happy with anything. :) And oh, the little hint of Cora/Lydia was delightful, as well.
Thank you thank you thank you! :)

[queerwolf]

I'm so glad you liked it! You're very welcome. I was worried that the fluff might be too much ;) I don't know if you saw my note but I'll probably write a companion fic from Stiles' POV and the end will be longer with more of them together.

To my secret santa

[insanenoodlyguy]

Wow. This was... man you obviously worked on this. This is wonderful. And LONG! You really shouldn't have done so much! I feel like it should be shared, so please feel free to upload it somewhere if you want to do so!

Re: To my secret santa

[ggc]

:D omg

So you liked it? :D Ah, I was so nervous!

You have the same user name on AO3, right? To mark it as a gift.
