Found three little news/media bits which I believe are relative to our interests... I looked around and I don't think they've been posted. If I missed it, and they have, and I am double posting apologies, and mods feel free to delete this...

Jeremy Renner: Five Gifts For The Avenger's Birthday

I was asked to post this fic by a member of the community, who wishes to remain anonymous, as a gift from all of the people who’ve taken part in the exchange and all of the community’s members as a thank you to the Secret Santa 2012 organizers for all of their hard work.

Title: The Season’s Upon Us
A Gift For: anuna_81 and cybermathwitch
Rating: PG
Warnings: Mild language
Pairings: Clint/Natasha; canon movie ‘verse pairings
Summary: Where Natasha gets a little of the green rage eyed monster, Clint is a little boy roaring for love and acceptance, and the team is together like a family.
Author Note: Since Christmas didn’t come for you, we brought it to you. I have no idea what your interests are but all for your hard work I had to try.

As part of the reveals for Secret Santa 2012 here’s a collection of all the gift banners in one place with their creators revealed. The original plan was maybe two of us making a handful of banners and then customizing them with the gift details. This turned into a whole team making a grand total of 60 gift banners, plus icons to kick the exchange off, graphics for the organisers, and (still to come) participation graphics! It's possible that we got carried away...in a glorious fashion :D

Feel free to use these banners if posting your gift elsewhere, or linking to your gift, and so on, but please remember to credit :)

And a final post from me today:

Hello all! Your graphics team for Secret Santa 2012 has been: daxcat79, frea_o, hermyfan, inkvoices, oresteia, and purely_distel. We’ve had a fantastic time getting to be creative for Secret Santa 2012 and we hope we’ve managed to add a sprinkle of shiny graphics to the festive proceedings!

We leave you with some things to celebrate the exchange: a bundle of icons for you, plus a whole heap of badges and banners! The banners come in two types: non-personalized and personalized. The non-personalized are as is, but the creators of the personalized banners are willing to add your username to those if you’d like. Please only ask for one personalized banner, please don’t expect an immediate response (although we do try our best!), and please contact the creator either in a comment to this post or by PM, whichever is their stated method. And for everything, please don’t hotlink and please do credit :)

( a gift to you all behind the cut: thank you for taking part, for cheerleading, for supporting, and hope you all had a happy festive season )
