Secret Santa Day Four
It's already the fourth day of Chrismukkah. W H A T.
Each day from now through Christmas, you'll find a post like this one waiting. Leave anonymous comments with your gift for your Secret Santee (make sure to put his or her name in the subject line so they can find it!). Remember, it's okay if you don't have something every day. We do, however, encourage you to leave a little note to let them know they haven't been forgotten. Christmas Day will be a free-for-all, where you can leave presents for anyone at all and, if you so desire, reveal your identity.
Let the gift-giving begin.
NOTES: Passwords for various uploading sites, galleries, the game anon account, etc., are available here. For those of you who'd like to play around with some Photoshop but don't have access, Pixlr is a fantastic online alternative that comes close. And remember, if you're posting pictures, they won't show up in an anonymous comment, so for those kinds of comments, it's better to use thecitysecrets account.

Santa wanted to let you know that you have some mail on the way, Stefanie! I'm not sure if it's going to arrive in time for Christmas itself but I am positive you'll enjoy it all the same. Be on the lookout for a box full of treats from a faraway land... (enjoy some points in the meantime and click the picture while you wait! ♥♥♥)
Re: Stefanie
Thank you for the points and the cuteness, and I can't wait to see what arrives! Thank you, Santa! <333

Happy Saturday, Ria! Santa and Santa Rap Mon hope you're having a great one. ♥
Today we come bearing points and mixes for Adam and Cassian.* We have a little something else up our sleeve for Cassian, but it's nnnnnot quite ready, so we'll come back to that later.
* Okay, and again, a few of these are pretty shippy. Santa's got a problem and the only cure is more threads of Jyn and Cassian being stubborn, stupid, and in love.

These playlists are absolutely lovely, thank you Santa!
Faye
Faye. Today's mix is for everyone's favorite mirrorball. Enjoy a mix for Blue and some well-deserved points to enjoy as you will.

Laine!
For day four Santa is busily preparing your gift for tomorrow, but today you get a ridiculous video and there should be an extra gift on its way to your email that I hope you will get some use out of!

For Alex
Les Miserables has long been my most favorite musical, though I’ve always been kind of disappointed that the bit in the Brick where Marius picks up Valjean's handkerchief, thinking it’s Cosette's, and kisses and snuggles it and decides from the monogram (Valjean's alias of Ultime) that obviously her name is Ursule, because obviously, didn’t make it in to the musical. (Though "For shame! I do not even know your name." kind of covers it.)
I can totally see your Marius doing such a thing, even after all his time in such a foreign place. He is still himself. His squishy romantic self. And that is down to you doing such a wonderful job with him. He is one of my favorites to thread with, as I’ve got a pup who is as fond of him as I am. Love, love, love.
I leave you today with a link to one of the greatest things on the internet: Marius and his manpurse, Valjean’s and his bread
Re: For Alex
Hahah yes that part is my favorite! I've actually been considering having that handkerchief be one of Marius' items in the near future for the hilarity of it.
Also OMG that video! Thank you so much Santa! I'm dying. XD This has made my whole day. 💜

Kait
The reindeer and I can't believe it's already day four of Secret Santa! For today's gift, please find in your stocking some kudos.
Kait, you have been such a delight to get to know ever since Santa joined the game. You're a warm, kind, and open-hearted person who always finds thoughtful ways to show support and be there for others when they need a shoulder to lean on. You stand up for what you believe in with such conviction that Santa finds inspiring. You have been and continue to go through a lot; you are one of the strongest people this Santa has the fortune of knowing.
Though Santa doesn't know your pups canons well, the thorough way with which you bring them to life in game makes me feel like I do. You love and care about your characters so much, and the fierceness with which you care about them shines through in your writing.
Aurora has been through hell and yet maintains a sense of hope. Serena, too, has endured through a lot but also has a sense of optimism with the chance she has to begin a life with her newborn son. Rebecca is coming to discover more about herself as she maneuvers through Darrow. Ed, too, seems like a passionate guy trying to make the best of his situation.
All of these characters and their voices are so distinct. They read like different fabrics making up the threads on a woven tapestry. Your writing is always full of details that speak to your characters to hearts, which makes your writing especially more lovely.
In short, Santa can't imagine this game with you in it or your pups. You've helped make this game a wonderful experience for myself and my own pups. Thank you for being you and for being a part of this game, as well as a part of my life. I hope you have the most wonderful day today and that your holidays bring you only peace and joy!

Jess!
As promised, yesterday's subject was Nathan Drake, and what a lovely subject too! Please have some icons:
And today, a bunch of graphics for you to use anywhere you like: wikis, profile pages, headers - to look at when you need a pretty face - whatever!
As a bonus, because the sleigh arrived so late with these, I tracked down a bunch of icons you might want to use that weren't made by, er, the elves:
Aragorn, Ed, James, Nathan, and Nathan
Happy Days 3 and 4! Love,
Santa
Re: Jess!
THANK YOU <3

I’ve been playing with your Lady Julia Lindsay MacKenzie Wallace Beaufort-Stuart in one form or another for what must be around six years now. Through all that time she has been a constant delight, but (I have to confess) in all that time I never actually read her canon. Oh, I started it, but was so emotionally distraught after only a few chapters that I never was able to finish. But a couple of months ago I finally picked it up again and read it cover to cover in the space of a day. Wow. Your Julie has always been an A+ wonder, but my respect for the way you play her has increased a hundredfold. You have taken a character who not only comes from a challenging canon, but is incredibly challenging herself by virtue of that canon. There are so many facets to her personality -Queenie, Eva Seiler, the unflappable agent, the liar, the adventurer, the silliness, the poshness, the young woman who wants so badly to live- and you play them all brilliantly. I have never not loved your Julie and I know I will continue to love her no matter where her journey leads. Thank you for that.
Re: Sarah B
You should read The Pearl Thief! It’s basically 15/16 year old Julie's What I Did On My Summer Vacation essay. Less gross sobbing, more crime solving!
