TCF Secret Santa!

SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED! Good luck to everyone who has signed up!
Ho ho ho! Happy holidays! Whether you celebrate Christmas, another holiday, or nothing at all, you’re invited to the TCF Secret Santa event! If you don’t know the rules, Secret Santa is a gift-giving exchange based on randomness and secrecy. Everyone gets another participant as the person they must give a gift to; you are not allowed to tell anyone else about it!

So, what gifts are allowed? Pretty much anything! A short story, a small Terraria mod, artwork, music… the possibilities are vast. Of course, it has to follow the forum rules. It also must be something you actually put effort into; if you aren’t willing to put it in, please don’t join. However, as long as you tried, quality doesn’t matter. Passion matters much more than the result!

Applications are open from now until Friday, November 14th. What time exactly I am unsure, though I'd suggest getting it in as early as possible so you don't accidentally miss out. The day after, everyone will get the person they are to give to; gifts will be given out on Saturday, December 13th after I say you are allowed to start posting.

To sign up, simply fill out this small form and post it below. While I will not deny anyone, I’d prefer if everyone is at least moderately well-known beforehand.

Secret Santa Application
Username:
Interests (to give the giver an idea of what to do:)

After applications end, I will DM you the person’s application of whom you are to give a gift to.

Q&A
Q: What if my DMs are full?
A: Then I’ll post a spoiler under the thread and ping you. If you are not the person pinged, DO NOT OPEN IT.

Q: What if I accidentally tell someone?
A: It’s fine! Just try to make sure the secret doesn’t spread too far.

Q: What if I am busy on December 13th?
A: Just tell me! In the post that starts off the giving, I will make sure your person knows without spoiling the surprise.

Q: What if I don’t finish in time?
A: There’s a lot of time allotted, so there’s no reason not to. If worse comes to worst, just let me know and get it in ASAP.

Q: What if I don’t know what to give? Do I ask them?
Don’t ask them! It ruins the surprise. If the Interests form is failing you, just do something Terraria related. This is the Terraria Community Forums after all.

Q: Is there a limit to the amount of people?
A: Nope!

Q: May I make more than one application?
A: Sadly no; I believe it is more fair for everyone to have equal share in this event.

Q: Do I have to spend money?
Nope!

Q: Is this an official event?
A: Nope, just a normal member organizing something.

Let me get this straight.

I fill out the form, and a little while after that you tell me who I'm giving my gift to while also telling another person to give a gift to me. Correct?

Yep!
 
K!

I'll think about joining.

If I change my mind, then what happens? Hypothetically, let's say I fill up the form, but when I'm making the present I realize it's :red: and I decide to leave the thing. Then what?

Passion matters much more than quality. In an extreme case (such as a permanent ban,) I will take over your spot if possible.
