Hello again! This is the 5th Santa, and I'm so happy that you all have let me run this for you. This year, I've taken some feedback and will be changing some things up. Signups Signups begin as soon as this thread is posted. Registration ends on November 28th, American Thanksgiving, as soon as Santa appears in the Macy's Thanksgiving's Day parade, so around noon EST. I will have Santa assignments out by around 6 pm during the Cowboys game. You will have 2 weeks to send out gifts, so you need to have gifts in the mail by December 12th. If you have not received a gift by January 13th, please contact me, and I will make gifts appear. Rules
Signing Up When signing up, make sure you follow this format. If you don't, you won't get a gift, and no one wants that!
You should then send an email with the subject "ADTRW Secret Santa-(your forums name)" containing your shipping details to SmokingCrowSA@gmail.com. YOU MUST DO BOTH. IF YOU DO ONE AND NOT THE OTHER YOU WILL NOT GET A PRESENT! Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and a happy non-denominational winter festival to all! Remember to be like this guy:

Dropping out. On second thought it will be exceedingly difficult for me to select, buy, and get stuff shipped out in time.

A. In USA, North America is OK. B. Currently No Guns Life and Beastars. C. Lots of mecha that isn't Gundam, favorites being Star Driver and TTGL. Anything by ONE. Konosuba. Houseki no Kuni. I dip into Magical Girls and LGBT works occasionally. I'm really just into robits, heavy philosophical or referential themes, and healthy relationships. Extremely out-of-date MAL here. D. I already have some gunpla kits waiting to be assembled, but wouldn't turn down another kit or a figure if it's obscure, squatty, or just red/black and cool and not from Gundam. Androids are a thing lately. Have lots of nerdy shirts already but wouldn't turn down more. E. Basically anything in red and/or black that I can put on my desk at work or at home. Wearable is fine too, in the same red/black scheme, just no keychains or hats. Last year I got Houseki volume 1 and amassed the rest of the series since, but I would collect for art over arc if started on something and art books are cool too (Takayuki Yanase is a good choice). Just no novels because aphantasia is a bitch, but nonfic like mecha or game design books are ok. F. No alcohol just because I'm picky about it. 18+ is ok. Men's small shirts, 94-74-92. Don't fret. I'm here to gift more than be gifted. The most random thing in the right colors is fine, or just something new to explore. Ranzear fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Nov 4, 2019 |

A. I live in the US and I plan to do another drawing for my gift partner so shipping should not be an issue. B. I normally post stuff here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/s...hreadid=3846757 C. Spirited Away's my favorite movie, Mob Psycho 100's favorite show. Been watching a ton of Gundam lately and getting back into reading Dungeon Meshi lately which I love. Was a huge fan of Legend of Galactic heroes and liked Jojo and dragon ball and so on. I love jrpgs like Final Fantasy, SMT, Monster Hunter, both Nier and Automata, love puzzle games (tetris and lumines and so on), and fighting games are cool but i'm garbage at them (street fighter, blazblue, tekken). Generally, you could kinda easily figure out what my interests are through just looking at my art blog (http://infinitebrians.tumblr.com/) since I do fan art pretty much daily. D. I would really love to get art prints, art books, figures, or graphic novels! I loved the nier automata robot buddy I got last year (link). I’m pretty picky about like graphic T-shirts (and honestly, I don’t need anymore) so maybe not clothing. I play games on a switch and on pc. I’d rather not have 18+ stuff shipped but I do enjoy an alcohol. E. I obsess over art, look at art blogs all the time. Listen to a ton of podcasts my favorites currently being Hollywood Handbook, Teacher's Lounge, and Best Show. Lately have been listening to a lot of audio books of which I really enjoyed the Welcome to Night Vale books and non fiction stuff like Devil in the White City and The Woman who Smashed Codes. Been playing way too much Destiny lately and just chilling out to music I guess. F. No food allergies.

A.) I can ship international if I need to. B.) Recently I'm mostly in the shoujo thread C.) Anime, manga, light novels? Recent favorites include Shy, Adachi And Shimamura, Mob Psycho 100, The Girl From The Other Side, Vinland Saga, and Koushin Koinu Ni Koibumi Wo. D.) Been enjoying collecting physical manga lately, so if you think you've got a manga I'd enjoy that'd definitely be appreciated. Also like nendos and figures as long as I don't have to make too much of a hassle putting them together.I'm a weird picky eater so I'd avoid food gifts if possible, unless it's something super safe like chocolate, and I don't drink. No real desire for anything super lewd either, so I'd advise against any super overt 18+ stuff. E.) Big fan of college football and basketball, I like taking nature walks, I enjoy jazz, and I play lots of video games. F.) US Men's size M shirt size.

Excited for another fun year! A. I prefer USA so i can ship foods, but I can do international if needed B. i mostly lurk nowadays but i post occasionally in the chat threads. C. Anime! randomly picking some shows that i really liked off the top of my head that i don't have merch for: ACCA, Symphogear, Houseki no Kuni. You could also check out my kitsu for more anime stuff. https://kitsu.io/users/Argona. Gacha game stuff! I'm currently into granblue, fate, bandori. Visual Novels! basically any of the popular ones D. Figurines, reasonable apparel, manga. I collect pins! I do papercraft and wouldn't mind trying out a model kit. If you have a local food you're proud of, i'd love to try it! (whoever i get is probably getting something from over here!) Alcohol is fine, but if you're giving an 18+ gift please keep it discreet. I live with others and would rather not have them see anything. E. Books! I've been trying to get back into reading more. Recently on the nonfiction side I read Bad Blood, and on the fiction side I read Gideon the ninth. a good translation of water margin or romance of the three kingdoms is something i've been meaning to pick up. As mentioned above, I do papercraft and my mat is just a mousepad. If you have no other ideas, my steam wishlist is here https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/profiles/76561197979165140/#sort=order F. US men's medium. In a previous year i got a haikyuu hoodie which was super cool but it was a small so i couldn't zip it up :[

A. Yes, I can ship international B. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3896096 C. I watch slice of life (like Azumanga Daioh or Aria), action (like Slayers or Cowboy Bebop), shojo (like Fruits Basket) and popular mainstream stuff like Studio Ghibli. Horror and flautists are in. Harems and fanservice... less so. Although I watched the entirety of Ninja Nonsense, I wish I had that time back. D. If you have something that you want to share, just do it. I find most stuff interesting. Otherwise... non-fiction books on history, travel, cooking, etc. Manga or anime that is not part of a huge series. Pins, charms, or other knicknacks. I have a 2ds, so if you have an used 3ds or ds game then that would be cool (except Etrian Odyssey or Ace Attorney as I already have all of em). Or a ps3 game. If you would like to simply gift some steam games, let me know and I'll send you details. E. I am a career computer nerd, so computer stuff is neat. I am a student violinist so sheet music would be nice, but I may pick up other instruments so sheet music for trumpet or piano would also be fine. Hobbies also include hiking, photography, cooking, winter camping, and listening to touhou arrangements (so be sure to pm me some youtube links on the latter, whether or not you're my secret santa). I love dogs but I am only responsible enough to take care of fish. F. American Men's Large shirts. Although 18+ books would be fine, please do not send 18+ shirts or figurines, as they would spend a year under a pillowcase until secret santa comes around again and I can gift it again. No allergies, feel free to send food. Alcohol is fine. No drugs, please. sb hermit fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Nov 14, 2019 |

A. Japan, international shipping's fine. B. Touhou thread - https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3896096 C. Video games, comedy manga, J-jazz/fusion/city pop. Huge fan of music games so if you got some kind of crazy rare merch of that kind, I might like that. Own a Switch and a PS4. D. Local snacks, as well as music. If you're feeling generous, I'd like some nice headphones or wireless earbuds. No 18+ or alcohol. E. Jazz/techno/eurobeat/drum'n'bass (anything you can dance to/has a groove). I'm also a translator so I like reading books relating to that on occasion. F. Shirt size is a US L, but I'm extremely lanky so anything with long sleeves won't be long enough. Also willing to send a second gift like the poster above.

I hope I haven't given any sucky gifts in previous years! I certainly haven't received any bad ones. A. I'm in Scotland and I can ship internationally B. I mostly lurk/post in the seinen and josei manga threads. C. Japanese product design like Muji, futurism like Yoji Shinkawa, tachikomas. Cuisine - fascinated by Japanese convenience foods and home cooking. I'd say I'm more into manga than anime these days: Dungeon Meshi, Blame, Dorohedoro, Witch Hat Atelier, Golden Kamui, Professor Munakata, and Kakukaku Shikajika are among my favourites. D. Anything that is unique to where you live, particularly if outside the UK. Food and alcohol are welcome. I'd prefer not to receive anything too overtly horny like a body pillow. I moved into a new place not too long ago, so small decorative things that are easy to ship would be nice to have. E. Product and industrial design, cooking, history, architecture. I'm interested in craft, how things are made etc. F. T-shirt size is men's M (EU/JP), S (US). No allergies. Chas McGill fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Nov 20, 2019 |

My favorite idol (real) is Miyu Kubota and favorite idol (2D) is Minami Nitta. My favorite Gundam is SMVS-01 UNION FLAG BEST MOBILE SUIT DESIGN D. I'm open to anything!

I like milhist stuff, making models, and hobbyist electronics. F. Shirt size is Men's XXL (US). Please no food or drink. I'm also cool to double up if someone wants in but can't afford a gift.

A. Brownieftw B. I am willing to ship international. U.S. for me C. Mostly been active in the tower of god thread recently. Usually just watch the threads for the series I'm watching at any given time, haven't posted a lot this year though. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3431936 D. Favorite series have been Dog Days, Spice and Wolf, Madoka. Made in Abyss and Utawarerumono . OPM/MP100 was amazing as well. Most of what I've watched at https://myanimelist.net/animelist/browniesftw?status=2 . Artbooks are always great. Monster Hunter is great E. I'm fine with pretty much anything. I don't drink at all. F. Space/technology is a big thing for me.I love animals as well, particularly foxes. It's been a fun few years doing this, looking forward to it again. I hope my gift last year wasn't sucky! I got the manga i sent to namtab for myself after that and it turned out a bit lewder than the anime was. Please don't send anything right away, I'm starting the move today, so if you can wait a few days at least to ship anything that would be great. I'll remove this when we're in the new place. As for my santee, you have good taste. Brownieftw fucked around with this message at 14:46 on Nov 29, 2019 |

A. Canada/North America. Would prefer to ship as locally as possible due to some difficulties with that in the past though I don't think any other Canadians have signed up. B. I have been known to taint the Shoujo/romance thread. C. History, Food, and weeb poo poo. Meiji and Edo era stuff in particular is pretty interesting to me (such as art). Plenty of good music too! D. I'm an awful materialist slob so I love things like figmas and posters and stuff. Fate is great, Fire Emblem is great, I used to be big into idol anime (though less so now). I really just like cute girls a lot, okay? PS, send me the gayest yuri hentai you can find. E. Music, philosophy, history, and adorable animals. F. Can't think of anything offhand.

A. Still in the good old US of A. If there's a need, I can ship international. B. I'm a regular in the Gundam thread whenever I need to get in a fight about the best Mobile Suit Variations pilot. (It's still Johnny Ridden.) C. Probably isn't a shock to say I'm into mech anime considering the thread link, but that's still one. Fire Emblem and Nier are also favorites. Manga-wise, I've been getting into Chainsaw Man lately, in addition to Vinland and Hinamatsuri. D. I'm not big on food as a gift, and I'd rather not get any 18 plus stuff, all else being equal. Model kits and little desktop figures and the like are neat, as are books. (Artbook, manga, or standard). E. I haven't exactly been managing as well this year, but I still do like classical literature. (The Japanese short stories from last year have been pretty good.) Also been watching a lot of movies, with Parasite probably being my favorite for the year. (Kinda felt like an old Coen brothers film in some ways, which is fun. Well, not all "fun" per se, but a good watch, even aside from all the clever thematic work.) F. Not allergic to anything I'm aware of. Probably would need a large size for shirts, since I'm a bit on the tall side, but I'm also pretty skinny.
