In celebration of the Christmas Spirit, I wanted to write 12 stories for the community. I asked for ideas for stories, and got some great responses! I made sure to include a deer from the person that came up with each idea, and I put guest appearances in them too.
In addition, you can write your own stories or do Christmas artwork and I'll list them here.
Just provide me a link to it and I'll add it to the list!
This is my way of saying 'Thank You' for being a wonderful and supportive community for the past 3 years. Enjoy!

Trigger - I tried the first
Skitties - *nodnodnod* thanks!
Everyone else - I edited this just a little to include 'winter' writing and artwork, so if you've done anything that isn't necessarily Christmas but is Winter themed instead, you can link it here and I'll put it up on the list
Added a 'Christmas Gift
And if I miss anything at all, please let me know! I'm trying to keep up with everything posted

X3 Gonna try go get another
Gonna try go get another story written tonight. I got my Christmas Carol DVD but I still think I'm going to save that as the last story since it was the first one suggested.
I've got the Rudolph and Night Before Christmas stories left to write.I went ahead and wrote the Night Before Christmas story. So Rudolph and Christmas Carol are left. I want to rewatch the Christmas Carol story and write my version simultaneously.Edit #2 - I'm determined to get the Rudolph story written tonight. I'm going to use the remaining characters in the 'waiting list' to fill in the spots of the reindeer, and maybe have a few surprise appearances where I see fit. Not sure where I will take the story but it'll be interesting anyway.
Maybe I won't necessarily have Santa in it, but instead, the Twin Gods have something going on that needs the 'reindeer' and a sleigh.
A creative solution, Quad.
Best of luck.
I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

My brother did something very
I haven't really decided if certain characters will be in it, wasn't sure about Scrooge's Nephew or if Bob Cratchet will be in it either (I don't have anyone listed as either of them, but if I did include one or the other, it'll be Cratchet). I know it may come as a shock that some of the important characters may be left out, but keep in mind that this will be TEF based and it might be complicated to throw in human stuff into the story...if that makes sense.
Anyway, I may try to write it tonight since it's so fresh in my mind. As far as the movies, I still liked the '99 version with Patrick Stewart as Scrooge, but this one with Jim Carrey wasn't too bad. I was pretty happy that it was almost word-for-word with the other movie, and the special effects were kind of crazy but I sometimes felt distracted from the storyline, you know?
Ah well, I might get the Christmas Carol written tonight.
My favorite christmas carol
When I was in Japan and so lonesome for my family, my mother and I watched it at the same time, talking over skype. I had to stay up till 7am to do so because of the time change, but it made me feel like we'd had Christmas together.
I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

I started Walter Scrooge but
I decided on a name for the Rudolph story, too - First Flight.
Also all of the names of characters appearing in the stories are listed. I still need more info on Nix's deer for the Rudolph story - I couldn't find any info on them, all I really need is a name, gender, and a little personality for the story.
Edit - Friday - I'm gonna try to write one of them tonight. Also I found an old Rudolph book of mine that glows in the dark. I always loved the artwork for it.
Edit - Saturday - ^ didn't happen because I was really depressed last night. Tonight, for sure, I'll get one of them written.
Edit #2 - Saturday - Finally got First Flight written. 11 stories down, just got the Christmas Carol one (Walter Scrooge) left to write. That's going to be the hardest for me since turning the story into something forest-based is tricky. But I'll get it done for sure
I'm sure you can do it, Quad.
I'm looking forwards to reading some of these!
Gonna try to work on Walter
Ah well...bumping this again in case anyone has any Christmas or Holiday stuff to add to the list.
Tomorrow's the big day!
*raises hand* I'm excited. I
I'm also getting excited because school is just over a week until being done for me, as well birthdays and other things coming up, soooo, I think I'm just a bundle of excitement overall. C:
I'm excited!
I might go ahead and post the
Trying to get Walter Scrooge done but I'm distracted by VCG's livestream
*edit* good news, guys! I've gotten about half of the story done! I hope you are okay that it's not exactly true to the story, I just left out some details, like the fact that Scrooge has a nephew. But I think you'll enjoy it anyway.
The next part I'll be writing will be the Ghost of Christmas Present part (Mystress' part).
"Excited", can't even begin
I know you'll love it, CM -
"You may be an undigested bit of pinecone, a crumb of mushroom, a fragment of an underdone grass.
Heheheh I loved that
"An undigested bit of pinecone...? A fragment of underdone grass...?"
Doing great! I'm glad I'm
I just got to Christmas Morning. Also I needed a few more guest appearances, so I hope Quamar and VCG don't mind that I included their deer into the story.
Where I'm at, it's 2,796 words
Edit - Finished it. Grand total of 3,273 words, this is easily the longest story of the set.
New plan - since my school
Trackery snackery.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Screw my advent calender, I'm camping out here.
I'm tracking this X3
It was really a lovely
I'm not going to leave 'tracks', but know that I'll be watching each story for updates.
Tracking the awesome.
I'm glad this is coming off
This has been a great project already, not only because I got to get some more writing practice done and you guys get a present each night, but also it helps me get through the first part of the holiday season. This month will be insanely slow for me because I'm so hyped about Christmas as well as my Birthday.
So thanks again for all the support, I really appreciate it!
Track! The stories are
The stories are wonderful so far, Quad. I can't wait for the rest! c:
@ Kaoori and Trigger_Mortis:
Also unrelated, but Klaatu42 on Youtube who did that singing animals video in my first comment is making another singing animals video, so I submitted one of Brandy's videos. There were over 300 video responses but I hope Brandy's gets to be included.
I don't mind at all! Thanks
Good luck to Brandy, I hope she makes it! She'd be a wonderful addition!
Edit: Here's the blog that I made to catalogue the gifts. Hopefully that makes it a little easier! ^^
These are great, Quad! I need
A Long Christmas "Thank You"
Something there for you too Quad! (:
I'm commenting here so that I
Also, here is an updated link to my Christmas requests entry, as I carelessly changed the title without thinking that others may have already addressed it.
Oop, I didn't even realize
And thanks for the comment! I know you will enjoy Yuletide Fawning and An Evil Christmas when they are released, since Kaoori and Wesker appear in them.
Ah, Quad, it's kind of you to
You do so much for the community.
Not a problem, glad I can
Happy Holidays, everyone!
A little announcement for
You're so cute, Quad.
And thank you very much for including my list. <3
Let me know if I've missed
Also, I added "Inspired by (whoever)" under the title of each story to give credit to those who suggested each story.
Wow...tomorrow is the last
You can add my little project
Added, thanks! XD Is there
Is there anything I'm missing? I had to lose the game to post up AliceV's thing. XD
Also if any links don't work, let me know and I'll switch them to that 'node' thing.
I have a personal dilemma -
The options I seem to have are:
- Buy something 'fun' with it anyway, even though I really don't need anything. Maybe buy a couple of random CDs or get a game that I didn't ask for on my Christmas/Birthday wishlist.
- Buy something useful, preferably put the money toward a new electric shaver since the one I have now is falling apart. It won't be 'buying something fun' but it would be of more use.
- Give the money to Mom for groceries since she could use it more than I could, although it probably wouldn't be what my aunt would want me to do.
Eh I don't know...choices choices...
Perhaps wait until later to
Yeah I think so too. Never
