ATTF: Final Secret Santa Support Group, Treat, and Chat!  
Hello, wintry bar!

Welcome to Friday (because let's be honest, we totally own this day) hosted by myself and [livejournal.com profile] frea_o.

Today we bring you one last chance to vent your Secret Santa frustrations, share your excitement, or find that final burst of motivation you've been needing (without giving away your assignment, of course.)

So, how is everyone doing? Putting on last finishing touches or sprinting along toward the deadline?

If you're finished with your Secret Santa gift or if you're not participating in the main exchange this year, you can still sign up for the graphics team or make community gifts.

Speaking of which, I come bearing some lovely banners courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] slytheringurrl. Feel free to use them in  your posts, profile, etc. with credit.






Finally, feel free to just hang out and chat. Share your own holiday plans or stresses. Just have fun!

Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)

I had a mild panic attack about my Secret Santa fic this week, thinking I would never finish it and that it sucks completely. I have since gotten help from an awesome friend (thank you, Frea :D) and finished the first draft. The weekend is reserved for editing (the time I'll be at home, which may not be too much as there are Christmas markets to attend ;)), I have my betas all lined up and the preliminary suckage test yielded positive results. So I'm much more confident about it now and not as overwhelmed by everything that happened lately.

The last few weeks were stressful, even though I don't have to work (or maybe because of it), but I'm gonna get myself to my friend in Switzerland next week to enjoy amazing company and great food along with gorgeous landscapes.

On a sidenote, I'm done with my Christmas prep. I have my presents all lined up, homemade truffles for everyone. Super-easy recipes too, if anyone is interested, I'll gladly translate them and send them your way (measurements will be metric, though, as I have no patience to convert :)). Also there are homemade bath bombs for my mom and girlfriends, along with solid lotion bars. Gosh, I love the internet! My cupboards are stocked with freshly baked cookies... I think I'm set :)

Wow, nice job on the presents! I still need to buy one for my mom and one for my grandmother, which is tough, because I don't share or understand their taste.

And I'm sure your story is going to be fantastic!

Truffels! bath bombs! lotion bars! I can attest to their awesomeness... :-)

You're very welcome, of course. I'm just happy I was able to help you out because I wanted to see this story come to life!!

You sent me the truffle recipe, I think I'm gonna have to try it out now that I'm at my parents'. :)
