Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

This year there will be no moderator-enforced punishments (i.e. jailings, bannings) for failure to come through for your buddy.
HOWEVER
Everyone on the entire forum will get to be as big a dick as they like to said Santron Stiffer forever and I will simply laugh the laugh of the carefree if this hypothetical jerk complains to me about it. This is not a joke. You will be mocked and disliked by everyone, and possibly, indeed probably blacklisted from future Secret Santas (if I am not too lazy to remember.)
So if you want to sign up, please do but you better come through.

What's the cut-off for signing up? Also, you bitches need to start posting your collections so everyone can know what not to buy. Making a suggestion about what you'd like might help too.
I'll probably sig my amazon wish list at some point. Is there some kind of online database where I can enter in the trades/issues I own? Maybe something similar to this?
For the benefit of whoever gets me, here's a list of every trade I own, as best as I can remember.
Starman
Runaways
X-Force/X-Statix/X-Statix Presents Deadgirl
Animal Man
American Born Chinese
Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol
The Doom Patrol Archives (Vol.1)
The Filth
Hopeless Savages
Y: The Last Man
Bone
Demo
Scott Pilgrim
Sea Guy
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Watchmen
Blankets
Ex Machina
Long Halloween/Dark Victory
Pride of Baghdad
Blue Monday
Scooter Girl
Lost at Sea
MadroX: Multiple Choice
Ghost World

That book by Joan Sfar about the mummy.
Sexy Voice and Robo
First in Space
Ultimate Spider-Man
Ultimate X-Men
Invincible
Seven Soldiers of Victory
New Warriors: Reality Check
Arkham Asylum: Living Hell
Shazam!: Monster Society of Evil
Spider-Man 's Mary Jane (it was a phase)
Shade: The Changing Man
Red Rocket 7
Yoshihiro Tatsumi stuff
Young Avengers
Absolute New Frontier (YESSS! Has it been a year since that sale already?)
Sebastian O
My Faith in Frankie
Criminal
Hellboy Library Edition 1
American Way
Those Scott McCloud books on creating comics
I didn't bother with noting what volumes in a series I do have and which volumes I don't because anything I'm missing is something I'm sure to buy for myself eventually anyway. Personally, I'd rather not have Secret Slo-Bo just be something that saves me a few bucks and a trip to the store. So please, if you get me, note my tastes but don't feel obligated to adhere to them. It's okay to take a chance.
It's also worth noting that I don't own any action figures or DVDs related to comics in any way. I also don't have posters, but if I got one I probably wouldn't know where to put it.
and uh as far as what would be good for me, uh, probably an interesting single issue might be a better way to go than a trade. i've got an awful lot of trades, so unless it's crazy under-the-radar or foreign or something (great success was had last year by hooraydiation (what happened to that guy?) with the rabbi's daughter and uzumaki).
things i don't have-
jsa comics (they seem like a bunch of boring old men sitting around and farting it up with grey hair on)
jack staff collection (i've been looking for this but it is hard to find?)
robin year one
judge dredd comics (the only one i have is "america")
I saw the new trade at Borders the other day and almost bought it even though I have an old trade (in beat shape) and all but one of the singles for it
I would like to sign up, but before doing so, I need to inquire as to when various secret packages will be sent, as I will be home for a good month over the holidays and want to know what address is most appropriate to send in.
Well with the deadline for entry around mid-November you'd hope people would have stuff posted out sometime in December. There will probably be a few slackers who don't get them out till January, based on experience from last year.
and for those of you looking for presents (or ideas for presents) HERE is a link to my amazon wish list. I may need to update it, but you get the idea fo what knocks my socks off.

I included a note saying that packages sent in the month of December should be sent to my parent's house.

Actually that might be it?
