Oliver~SKX

Dear Oliver,

Now before you start looking for cookies on the sig you got, there isn't any cookies or food in it . Anyway, as your Secret Santa, I'm happy with the piece I have done for you. I did a little researching and saw you like Death Note and so thus this was the result. HAVE SOME CAKE BRO!

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Yours Truly,

Secret Santa.

Kyoshiro Seiji

I may not know you yet but I think you'll be a great person to get along with. It was difficult procuring these, but its worth it and I hope they're made to your liking. Enjoy them in 4 variants! Have a Good christmas!

Ducky

[FONT=#70DBDB]Dear Ducky/Toni,

I don't know you too well, but I know that you are a really nice and cheerful person. It has been such a great pleasure for me to see your wonderful comments in the graphics reverie. So anyway, your wish was voice clip or drawing. Unfortunately, I am not too confident of my voice and I don't really know what to say. I suck at drawing on paper too. So at first I wanted to give you a graphics set, but you just recently got a new signature. Instead, I am giving you this clip of Tifa's theme Piano version, played by me. Well I hope you enjoy listening to my playing. Sorry if there are any noticeable mistakes.

Merry Christmas! =)

Yours Truly
Secret Santa

Dear Sabriel

I'm sorry for I don't know you that well. I don't do voice clips for I Don't have a mic, and I don't do Sets for I am a terrible artist . I wish you had a better secret Santa for you, But here is a happy holidays to you anyways.

So instead let me write something fun for you instead... (even though it wont be Christmasy, hope you enjoy)
Sabriel your For-real
You got to-deal
With the-meal
And time to-peal
And make them-steal
The top-steel
Thats really-teal

Sheikah

Dear Sheikah,

Having fun with your drawing? I hope so, cause I wish I could draw. Til then, I'll stick to full time RPing and part-time graphics. Still, no matter how different we do our art, it's still art. Pretty grand for a holiday season, eh?

Here's a voice clip of me singing, I dunno if you'll like it but hey, X-Mas comes from the heart. (and I dunno if Vocaroo keeps their clips long enough to receive the message.)

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza and all that jazz,
Your Secret Santa.

Noblesse Oblige

Dear Kevin

Thanks for being so cool and stuff. Shame I don't see you around too much anymore. You used to be way more tight than you are now. Well, keep in touch, bro.

Six

Dear Six,

Uh…that was as much as I had planned for this, so I’m going to blag the rest of it. I hope you don’t mind TOO much…I know how much you were looking forward to Secret Santa this year. Alas, fate (or Mitsuki, she seems to be scheming a lot these days) conspired to make me your Secret Santa…well, I suppose someone had to be the unlucky one, since I signed up for this as well. I actually wondered if it’d be kinder to just leave it and let whoever is going to act as the Elf this year do it and do a good, proper job of it. But I figured I’d try and give you a nice letter and a gift. So, now that I’ve got the introductory rambling out the way (already over the five sentence minimum…oops) I can start writing nice things about you!

…and it was at this point that I got writer’s block and sat staring blankly at my screen for about ten minutes wondering what the hell I should say. Typical. Well, we don’t have much in common; we lurk in completely different areas of the forum, and we don’t speak at all (actually, I think we’ve spoken maybe two or three times since I joined the forum, although I have a sneaking suspicion I met you on another forum a long time before this…) and I’ve probably pissed you off a few times in the past – I piss EVERYONE off – but I still think you’re just generally awesome. The few times we’ve spoken we’ve gotten along fairly well (correct me if I’m wrong on this) and you have an interesting taste in music that matches my own in a few areas…and that one time you posted a bunch of random songs on the shoutbox (or was it random? I don’t pay as much attention as I should) you led me to discover a couple of new bands, which I appreciated. Oh, plus you make pretty graphics. I was trying to avoid saying just that, because it’s such a generic and obvious comment, and you probably hear it all the time, but…there it is. Your work is exceptional, and you deserve all the praise you get, and more besides~

In writing a letter this long for you (just close your eyes and pretend it’s five sentences, or skip to the end) I’ve probably given away who I am completely...woops. Anyways, to the matter of your Christmas gift. Much as I love the sound of my own voice, I don't love it quite enough to give you a voice clip for a present. I think doing that might cause a bit of a stir, and/or really get on some people’s nerves. Plus I have absolutely no idea what I’d say to you. I can’t do GFX for shit, so that leaves only one option for a gift…I remember having a discussion with you in the shoutbox at one stage about FFVII (I think I was shipping Cloud with Yuffie at the time, because we all know that Cloud/Aerith/Tifa love triangle is totally invalid) and I recall you being one of those (very rare, as they’re a dying breed…not that I have anything to do with this, of course) people that actually like the game. So, for your amusement (or horror, as it’s a pot luck thing when I take pencil to paper) here is a random picture - alright, it’s more of an unrecognisable doodle - of Chibi Aerith stabbing Chibi Sephiroth (or Chibiroth, because that sounds cuter, etc) whilst Chibi Cloud looks on in confusion, like I did when I finished drawing this. I hope it at least makes you giggle, even if it’s only at how absolutely awful it is.

Anyways, you’ll probably be relieved to know that this is the end of your letter. Have a fantastic Christmas~

With regards,

Your Probably Not Very Secret Anymore Santa ♥

Toshiya

Dear Toshiya,

I haven't spoken to you much, but you seem very friendly, funny and interesting so we should talk more! =) The fact you go to flying school is so cool! (Oh, and Devon is lovely. )

Christmas is also the time for compliments, so I'll take the opportunity to say that you're very pretty! =) You have such gorgeous hair too!

Have a fantastic Christmas!

xx Secret Santa xx

P.S. No pressure to use the GFX piece! The pieces you have now are so gorgeous. I just wanted to put in some effort and make you something nice.

Gavin AEtherae

Dear Gavin,
I haven't really spoken to you much apart from one conversation on Skype a loooong time ago, but from what I remember you're a really nice, funny person!
Haven't seen you around much either, but then, my visits have been few and far between too.
I hope you like your gift - unfortunately, I have no GFX skill so credit goes to Raul (Kyoshiro Seiji) for your signature. It's the best we could do, apparently it's very hard to find images of what you asked for but I hope it's okay! =]

Merry Christmas!
Your Secret Santa

The Killer Whale

Dear Jim,

Santa has not been able to come around this year. He himself has been written down on the naughty list. With a broken microphone, and guitar strings he couldn't jam on.

Please accept this paperclip this year.

Sincerely,
Secret Santa.

@Argor251

Hey Argor!

You know, you're rather awesome. I remember thinking that you were by far one of the nicest members, and I was super happy when I saw your name in purple! My favorite piece of rep EVER is from you, and I wish I got to talk to you more. You're an awesome guy, and you've always got something interesting to say. Have a fantastic holiday season, alright?~

Merry Christmas,
Your Secret Santa!​

c a l i l i l y

First I can't take credit for those images, you have six to thank for that! So I'm not entirely sure what to write in these but... You have an awesome taste in music, and your debate type posts are pretty epic as well. You already know your artwork is great but i shall reiterate: your artwork is great!

I wish i knew you better so I didn't run out of things to say, but there you go! =D

DragonByte Tech

Dear DragonByte Tech,

We've rarely spoken to each other, but I think you're a faaantastic tech admin and an over-all cool guy. You didn't put down a wishlist, sooo I hope a crappy picture will do.

Have a merry christmas!

Love,
Your Secret Santa

Cardiac Kid

Dear Cardiac Kid,

You are so great. I am your biggest fan. I made a song for you as you stated you would like "anything" on the wishlist. I hope you like it and I also hope you have a great festive period. Thank you for taking the time to read this fan mail.

Yours Sincerely,

Secret Santa

.Rinoa

Dear .Rinoa,

Merry Christmas! Ho ho ho. We do not know each other very well but I do believe your name is Jess. So I hope you have a Merry Christmas Jess. That is, if you celebrate Christmas. Happy Hanukkah? Happy everything. To you =D I hope you like your gift.

Sincerely,
The Best Secret Santa in the World

Cid Raines

Ok so im your secret santa. I saw you were after a final fantasy set. While ive made 1 or 2 sigs in my time final fantasy sigs are my downfall so i had a buddy help me out. I think they did a great job so hopefully you like it. Merry christmas and all that jazz mr cid raines.

Starfruit

I know nothing about you, but that doesn't mean I can't write to you. Sure, things will be a bit harder to say and they might even sound awkward, but hey that's okay! You'll forgive me, right? I sure hope so! I looked on the wish list and I didn't see your name, so to make sure you wish wasn't ignored, I went through the pages and found your post. I read what you said, and it was so cute you wanted just love and I'm very happy to give it to you. ♥

In the form of a letter from a stranger it's a bit harder to grasp, it sure would have been easier to make you a set! I would have done anyways, but I don't know what you liked! You have a shiny new set anyways, so I guess that's okay.

I do hope you have a great holiday and that everything goes well for you. That you stuff up on cookies and avoid the fruit cake. That you get tipsy on egg nogg somehow and that you lean against your tree far enough to knock a few ornaments off but not the whole thing. That you wear an ugly Christmas sweater with pride because I sure as hell would love one. That you wear a Santa hat or a set of reindeer antlers and that your holiday pictures come out looking as embarrassing and endearing little moment. That you get crappy presents until you get the very last few that just blow your mind and that all the holiday special are re-runs so you can turn off your TV and spend time with the people you love. That all the Christmas songs annoy you so you can tun off the radio and sing those very same songs with those same people you love--because somehow, when you sing them with someone else they become less annoying.

That you have a great holiday and that my letter somehow managed to tug a smile on your face. If it did, then my whole winter is set.

Iron Man

Dear Iron Man,

You don't know me(lol duh), and I've only gotten to know you a little bit, but here I am to present you your gift. You gave me a challenge, but everyone likes a good challenge, right?Anyways, all there's left is for me to be wishing you a Merry, Merry Christmas, and may it be full of a maximum amount of happiness or something.

Little Sister

Dear Little Sister,

Enjoy the shit I made you for X-mas. O-O-Oil on the road... Gonnae Crash!!!

Merry Christmas. Etc.

Bishop Sincerely,

The one who is your Secret Santa.

Coco

Dear Coco, I think you are really great and pretty and beautiful. If this is too excessive please tell me Mitsuki and I will create a more toned down version.
You do very nice GFX stuff. At least I'm told it's nice, I don't care much about gfx so I couldn't really say if it was or it wasn't. I think your hair is very nice. Your mother and sister were very unfair to you about that choreography thing. I always read the threads in the Temple of the Ancients. It is such a great section, but I am too shy to voice my opinions there. I hope we can be super swell pals. I am a moderator at FFF so I can infract some members if you don't like them. That Mitsuki is always making sure that I just don't around banning people. She is no fun, however you are very fun. Yay, let's be friends.

Big Casino

Dear Lew,
I seriously wish i could have as much of a knack for GFX as you have. Honestly, your works are freaking amazing! And also, your taste in music is, too. Thanks for just being awesome.
Your Secret Santa.

[Video will be posted after Lew makes a guess as to who his Secret Santa might be]

Shace

Dear Shace,

I sure hope you're getting snow wherever you are. We're not supposed to get any snow before Christmas. Anyway, I'm not sure what you had in mind for your secret santa gift... but I noticed you like Family Guy, so I made a little something for you. Hope you have a great Christmas. =] A hint as to who I am... you're not getting one. Good luck!

Sincerely, your secret santa.

Shabba Ranks

Hello Hal.
We hardly speak but that shouldn't stop us from sharing some gifts during the holiday season. I heard that you like Lana Del Ray and wanted to give you this signature and avatar set as a gift. It's a few months old, but it took ages to make and I really like it so I hope you do too.

Be seein' ya,
Secret Santa.

The Nutcracker

Dear The Nutcracker,

I do not yet know you well, but you often provide interesting posts that I love to read. I at least am fairly confident that I now know your gender, and that you are indeed a human being. Your current status as a nutcracker in this context is quite worrying. I hope that you have a fantastic Christmas this year, and that you relax after what I know has been a hard year. May the New Year bring you joy, and may I know you better and communicate more in the future.

Yours truly,

Secret Santa.

Zipper

Hi. ♥

Gosh, has it already been a year already? We still haven't got to know each other properly, but yeah, you can blame me. D:

I hope the present's to your liking; I really like your graphics style - I always find myself trying to emulate the textures like in your GFX.

Happy Halloween and Merry Christmas!

Nathan Drake

Dear Nathan Drake

While neither I or my minions have the expertise in graphics, I did assign the creation of your voice clip to one of them. And then another. You cost me six of my valuable minions with your narcissism. However, I cannot fault you for this, for narcissism is what helps this world to function. I shall warn you, one of the minions seems to have delved into a thesaurus to hide from your picture.

Stevie

Dear Stevie

We haven't spoken much directly but I know you're cool! Your love for Yuna almost surpasses my love of Jensen Ackles. I love how your GFX skillz are improving also! Anyways Have a happy holidays!

From
Secrect Santa :3

Tate Langdon

I may not of have spoken to you much, but from the threads you have made you have given me some great advice over the years. Also you have the same taste in music as me ‘go 30 seconds to mars’. Just hope you have a great Christmas and an amazing new year, and I hope you get everything you want ohh ps: enjoy your 30 seconds to mars signature

Lirael

Dear Citizen,


I am your Secret Santa, which seems like the kind of thing a sex offender would say. You know, like the guy who says "I have a girlfriend! I follow her home from work everyday. She sometimes runs, but I know she is only exercising. I have already told mother we are engaged" Anyways I hope you like your present, I thought it would take me five minutes but took more like fifteen.


Happy Saturnalia

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

P.S. This was originally a video, which didn't make sense cos this is meant to be Secret Santa, so I changed it to audio. Anyways, when I say this book, I mean this book

 

[Will Graham]

I saw on photobucket that my clip was uploaded by a certain Gavin_AE

It was pretty flipping amazing my friend, those were some sublime adjectives you chose. They expressed my pulchritudinous resplendence perfectly

 

[Squid]

Dear My Secret Santa,

You played that song beautifully, I do not know that song well but I do not think you even made one mistake.

I am going to guess that my secret santa was maybe either Lirael or Coco?

Thank you Again

 

[Raiiyokuu]

Thank you Secret Santa!

Whoever you are, I fuckin' love you! <3 <3 <3.

 

[Tucker]

That was such a sweet note. And yes, I did smile. I liked it very much

Since apparently they are also a GFXer, I have narrowed it down to 3

2

1...

Lirael

I am most definitely positively most probably wrong. (I think probably and positively are contradictory, but whatevs )

 

[Shaissa]

My secret santa Rocks!
but I do not like snow and I'm not getting any thank the weather gods for that

Who could it be

I shall figure it out tomorrow me thinks!

 

[Donald Trump]

Thank you Cali.
I will get my pal James to add it. However it will take him decades to do so. He is morbidly obese again.

 

[Raiiyokuu]

I think I can guess who my Secret Santa is...

All of these people, more or less, know me. For anyone not to know me,

It has got to be....

-DRUM ROLL-

@Iron Man!!!!

 

[moogling]

My secret santa was definitely Toni as she is the only Australian who loves me.

Words cannot express how much I love my gift
<333333333333333333333333333333333333

 

[Sexy Beast]

First off let me thank you to whoever my secret santa is for that wonderful note. Whoever you are, I am glad that my graphical style has inspired you to do the textures like I do. And thank you for the wonderful graphical set, I love it.

I do not know who my Secret Santa is, but the thought will be with me as I think.

 

[Coco]

If I have to guess (I hope I'm not wrong)... Is it Hal? I think it's Hal.

Thank you so much! I listened to it again and again, so I ended up saving it.

EDIT: The last word definitely gave you away.

 

[Jasmine You]

I got a voice clip with muh note! This is too wonderful. ;-; ♥
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

 

[Oliver Queen]

It's Jim.

It has to be Jim.



Yeah, it's probably not Jim.

 

[Kim Taehyung]

I really give advice? Glad to hear that.

Well, i'm gonna guess Cali, due to the Mars similarity and the fact i've not really talked to her too much.

I almost went Joey, though, for the advice and again Mars thing, but i've talked to him a lot...

Unless he's tricking me...

Okay, so either Cali or Joey.

 

[Big Casino]

ok. Im gunna guess kylie Im not totally sure but the expression 'freaking amazing' sounds like something she would say. Once i see the video i will know for sure i think

 

[Lirael]

I'm afraid I have no idea who my Secret Santa is.

Nevertheless, whoever you are, you're awesome, so please do send me a PM! The decision to read Lirael made me smile so much! Your voice is a lot like an old friend's, although the dramatic parts sounded a bit like Solid Snake! Lirael's speech is hilarious.

Thank you!

P.S. Your getting the chapter wrong made me chuckle. When people make mistakes, they often show another side to someone's personality, and your reaction was fun and lightheared! =D Awesome.

I can tell you're lots of fun, so yes, PM me! =)

 

[Toshiya]

At first I had absolutely no idea, then I realise it must be someone English to know where Devon is or what it's like
Then, it's someone who does GFX... which doesn't narrow it down much

Lirael?
Whoever it was, thank you very much I will be using the sig!

 

[Lebreau]

Totally narrowed it down to...

Nathan Drake
Starfruit

So I'mma go with Nathan Drake. I'm probably wrong. but whatever. XD

 

[Steve-O]

Wow i love that yuna set it beautiful

but I know you're cool!

Loool i think your the first person that said that on here

Your love for Yuna almost surpasses my love of Jensen Ackles

that made me laugh

I'm going to guess zipper on this one he one of the graphic members that i not spoken to much and i think i reconize hs style in that signature

 

[Exoskeleton]

I dunno who my Secret Santa is They know my name but we probably haven't spoken too much...And that gfx style is close to a few people's on here >.< I dunno D= Um....Stevie? Cid Raines? Lirael? .Rinoa? I'm just shooting names out there really. >.<
