AHhhh, I posted mine up last night but didn't get a chance to comment here. Hopefully it doesn't count as late? D:

Thanks again for making this a really nice event this year!

There are 6 people who I've spoken to who are going to post their gifts late (which is fine, since they let me know), but unfortunately there were three flakers who I have heard neither hide nor hair from. One of them is an unvalidated member so I won't make the mistake of opening it to people who have just joined last year. I don't know what's up with the other two. I'm disappointed.

If any of their recipients have preferences I can do (original or I know the fandom) I'll be happy to offer my services to make sure they get something.

@Junia man that sucks but once again you did an amazing job coordinating the event.

Edit: I'm with Phlox, if you need a pinch writer hit me up.

[Chanel_no5]

I'm with Phlox and Kaze, as long as it's something I'm able to write, I'd be happy to write something for those flaked upon. :)

Gosh, the love. This forum is so great!

@Junia - thanks for all the work you've done. I'm glad that in the end, there were only three falkers left. Didn't look like that a few hours ago. :lol: Are you going to make your threat true? ^^

[MaiMai]

I'll second the others! I'm also happy to fill in with writing something if needed, either original or if it's a fandom I would know!

I'm glad most people managed to post in the end, though!

Yep!

Luckily it was brought to my attention that someone I thought had flaked had actually just slipped through my radar, so there were only two flakers, which is much better. So here they are:

@Coffee Chicken Barista appears to have been really enjoying her Secret Santa! Unfortunately, she decided not to bother posting her own gift for @CharliesGirl.

@Dontyouknowwhoiamyet is the reason unvalidated members who have just joined with no posts will no longer be able to participate in the event. She ghosted the forum completely and left @Paws without a gift.

Both of these members are permanently barred from participating in the Secret Santa in the future.

I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to do about the makeups yet, but I really appreciate everyone who's commented offering to help, seriously.  

[Sneezingnonstop]

I'd like to add my voice to the others'. While I was almost late with my gift, I would be willing to do another story for someone who didn't get one. Please let me know if you'd like my help!

[murphy dee]

Offering up my writing services as well if they're needed!

[Kiaory]

I suppose I might as well join the chorus offering to help. I'd prefer to write female, but I'll do male too if you think for some reason that I'd be the best person to handle the request. 

[Coffee Chicken Barista]

Hey everyone, I apologize profusely but I seem to have misread the due date for this as the 3rd. My deepest apologies to everyone, especially @Junia and @CharliesGirl (I was your Secret Santa). Anyways, the story's posted now in the original fiction thread so I hope you enjoy it. I intended for it original to just be a one shot but I felt bad for missing the dead line so I turned it into a multi-chapter fic. The next chapter should be up in the next few days.

Again, I'm so sorry!
