The Gift Of Friendship

[red_uni387]

As stated in the help thread, I haven't seen as much gifting here so here's an entire event dedicated to just gifting to others We're gonna do this how Kat suggested, which is like this:

1. When people join have them fill out a small form about themselves (username, favorite colors, favorite patterns, that sort of thing).
2. Match people up, not so they have each other but like I would have you, you would have Echo, echo might have Wolfy who would have me, sort of thing, so no one has who they are gifting to and it increases the suspense.
3. Gather all the images of the adoptables as you had mentioned before but number them.  either add it to the image or post it in the notes of that image, but make sure they are numbered.
4. Allow the person who is gifting to go through and sort of 'shop' based on what the person mentioned they liked for which one they want to gift to them.  That way they feel as if they are actually taking part in picking out and gifting the adoptable to the person themselves.  If they cannot find something that perfectly meets the person's requirements they still get to pick something out they feel the person would really love.  It makes everyone feel very involved.  This is rather than you going through and picking something for the person yourself.  It adds a more community and person to person aspect to the event.

Interested in participating? Please read the next post for directions on how to join the fun

How to Join

Please fill out and post this form by April 18 15:00. At that time, Fangy will take everyone that filled out a form and figure out how will be gifting to who. She will send each of you a PM telling you who you will be 'shopping' for, and once you've decided what to 'purchase' for that person, send a PM to Echowing tell who you are gifting to and what critter. Then Echo will PM your gift to the person and where to send certing info!

Thank You All!

I was expecting to take forever planning this event, having to save and purchase most of the pets avaliable. Seeing this much response to it and getting donated every single critter needed was just shocking. Thank you guys, so much <3 You really show that the world is a much better place than it's steorotyped to be. *squishes*

Thanks indigo

closed now, will edit in the link to the PB folder and Fangy will start PMing who will be gifting to who ^^

[indigowulf]

Here hun, throw this in the pb folder twice, since you need images for people to choose from:

[Wolfs Fang]

Ok, I finished PM'ing everyone. Please tell me if you're confused, if I made an error, or if you didn't get a PM. I double-checked to make sure I didn't leave out anyone, but I'm still paranoid that I messed up somehow. xD

~Fang

[Math]

I got the person who I'm supposed to buy for. I already chose their gift and sent my selection off to Echowing.

[Solistia]

Also received my PM and purchased a gift :3

[red_uni387]

added those in indigo

*wiggles* so exciting~!

[springacres]

Received my PM and chose a gift as well, hope the recipient likes it!

[red_uni387]

if anyone hasn't sent their PM to echo yet, could I ask that you pick at least 2? there's already a few who've picked gifts that have already been gifted ^^'

[sera]

Wot will happen the pets that don't get picked?

[red_uni387]

those who donated them will get them back

[Math]

Did I pick a gift that has already been gifted?

[Solistia]

@red, what about hanging on to the extras so you can do another one of these threads, like maybe in a month or so? :3

[red_uni387]

Math - if you have Echo will be replying to your PM saying so

Solistia - you think people'd want to participate again?

[Wolfs Fang]

Math - if you have Echo will be replying to your PM saying so

Solistia - you think people'd want to participate again?

They probably would. xD If we do something like this again, can I have the same job as before? :3

~Fang

[Solistia]

I don't know why not? I like this idea, and I enjoyed shopping for my selected partner (I actually went and did some research after reading through the form to make sure I got a good one X3)

[springacres]

I also enjoyed shopping for mine   It was fun seeing what everyone had donated and getting to pick one that both fit the person's specifications and was from an adoptable line that I knew they followed!  (I too did some research to make sure I got something they'd actually want)

[Ryuukokoro]

Sigh. It's really disappointing finding several pets you know your giftee will like and then being told they've all been taken already. -_-

Can we please get an update in the gift list about what is still available?

[red_uni387]

I'm waiting for the list from Echo, which she's typing up right now.

I think if this is gonna happen again...I wanna do it by myself so this doesn't happen D:

[red_uni387]

every critter that has been taken so far has had their title changed

and yes, if this is gonna happen again I'm gonna do it by myself so less mess occurs

[Wolfs Fang]

every critter that has been taken so far has had their title changed

and yes, if this is gonna happen again I'm gonna do it by myself so less mess occurs

Fangy isn't allowed to help? *sad* Not even if I just send out the PMs?
