SECRET SAINTS :: Saintees have been posted!

SECRET SAINTS


Oh, those rascally Secret Satans!

All they do is want, want, want!

"Oh," they say, as they twirl their evil mustaches in their leathery fingertips.
"I have to give something BACK in order to receive something? Well, I suppose, if I must."

We, the Secret Saints, say NO! I WANT NOTHING IN RETURN BUT THE JOY I'LL FEEL FROM YOUR JOY! For, there is no such thing as a selfless act.


INSTRUCTIONS


SAINTEES

You're broke, you're in college and completely drowning in work, you're illiterate, your family is thousands of miles away -- for one reason or another, you don't have the means to give anything this year and doubt you will get anything, and it would be really nice to get something from a Saint.

1) You must NOT be on the list for Secret Satans.
2) If you do not receive anything, you can't whine. Seriously.
3) You must post after you've received your gift, and appear happier than the happiest you've ever been. That is your gift back to the community.
4) Would appreciate it if you were on the honour system here and truly could not afford to participate in Secret Satans this year, not just "Didn't feel like going through all that trouble."
5) If you get a lump of coal or a single lego brick, refer to #3.
6) If you have a kid that you can't afford to buy for and would prefer someone bought a toy for them or something, please give us the sex/age of the brat.


NEW RULE THIS YEAR:


If you wish to remain anonymous you must STILL FILL OUT ALL THE INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE EMAIL, but if asked, I will post only the details you request; for example, "mully" may be posted as "27/F in need of copic markers" instead.


SAINTS


You're kind and generous -- or maybe you just have a ceramic cat in the house that you've been trying to pass off onto someone else for the past 8 years. Whatever the reason, you want to open your wallet to another individual and say YES! YES, I AM AWESOME.

1) No extreme lurkers. Sorry guys, but I'll be looking up your screen names and making sure you aren't crazies. Or at least, aren't bad crazies. I need to see your words to judge you by, y'know?
2) Try to get your gift to your selected person(s) prior to January 15th. Of course if you decide not to do it at all, that's cool too. You're kind of running your own boat here.
3) A postcard counts as a gift. A small bag of marbles counts as a gift. A single jellybean tied with a ribbon counts as a gift. I think you get the point.


SIGN-UPS


1) Sign-ups for Saintees end on December 3rd, 2010.

2) SAINTEES will sign-up by filling out the below and sending it to solidsaints AT gmail DOT com

SUBJECT: SECRET SAINTS APPLICANT

BODY:
Screen name:
Real name:
Mailing Address:
NSFW OK:

3) After the 6th, SAINTS will be welcome to select as many people from the list to gift as they desire, by emailing me the following:

SUBJECT: SAINT: YOUR USERNAME

BODY:
Username/Assigned # of chosen Saintee OR quantity of people you would like randomly assigned to you.




If you have any questions, post 'em in this thread.

Last year some of us donated $2.00 per Saint to Child's Play - I can't afford to do that this year, but if any of YOU want to do that, PM me and I'll add your noble endeavor to the OP.


Happy Holidays!

SAINTEES

    People should definitely not feel bad about signing up. The whole point is to help each other out during the holidays. And especially for toys for kids.

    It took me way too long to get the stuff sent last time. This is a good thing, though. People should do it! You'll feel good about yourself.

    Oh this is so cool! I am planning on being a saint, does this require a lurker check? I participated in the solid saints auction earlier this month (still need to come up with a short story idea for when quoth is done with NaNoWriMo).

    yeah, just look at the list and email her who you've chosen, then she sends the addresses.

    I'm tempted to sign up as a saintee because I am very poor, but I don't really need much.

    I do have a Jesus manga I found in the clearance bin of a used book store that someone here probably wants.

    I hope getting a gift from someone will prove to my parents this place isn't a hovel of nigerian royalty pedophiles who want to send a computer virus through the postal service. They wouldn't let me do Satans because "Really? Why would you buy something for someone from a forum?" as they phrased it.
