Rules
The return sender will always be SoA Secret Santa. Do not discuss who you have purchased crates for or who you think has sent you one in this thread, we like to keep things secret!
You may send a maximum of 3, you may receive a maximum of 2. Total.
You may not purchase more than 1 crate for any single person, and you may not purchase any for yourself. Spread the joy!
No mules, no whining, no begging.
Have fun!
Ordering Information
Slot openings are not on a fixed schedule, any upcoming slot openings will be listed in the first post.
Unless otherwise stated, every order is worth only one slot. You send one PM, you get one slot. Do not place multiple orders in the same PM or send multiple PMs unless the colorist has specifically stated that this is allowed.
To order, wait for the cue from a colorist opening slots and PM orders to this mule. Do not post orders in the thread.
You will get a PM back only if your order is being taken.
Crates are all FREE!
Each crate contains one (1) adult SoA. Its design may have been a semi-custom, designed by the sender, or part of a precolored set designed by the colorist (info below).
Traditional Semi-custom: You decide species (lines are CC), gender and give a list of up to 3 colors (Colour Lovers palettes must follow this restriction) and a few inspirational words to guide their design.
NEW! Precolored Themes: A colorist prepares a random number of SoA ahead of time and assigns them to crates randomly to be given out. Rather than giving a semi-custom design to suit the friend you are gifting, you pick the friend that you think would appreciate the theme. Example themes might be 'Natural TLK' or 'Christmas Colors'.
Know the rules and expectations of the colorist when trying to obtain a slot through them. Order limit and/or customization of crate contents may vary from time to time.
Use this form when ordering during a Traditional Semi-Custom opening:
[b]Your Name:[/b]
[b]Gift Recipient:[/b] (full username)
[b]Recipient's Nickname:[/b] (to appear on label)
[b]Species:[/b] (lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, wild dog)
[b]Gender:[/b] (male, female)
[b]Colors & Inspiration:[/b]
Use this form when ordering during a Precolored Theme opening:
[b]Theme:[/b]
[b]Your Name:[/b]
[b]Gift Recipient:[/b] (full username)
[b]Recipient's Nickname:[/b] (to appear on label)
Notes
Double-check the full username of the recipient, we need to be able to send it to the right person.
Do not ask for or expect complex SoA when ordering. We'd like to be able to send out more simpler gifts, not fewer complicated gifts.
Pattern suggestions (e.g. spots, splotches, simple) and descriptive guiding words (e.g. sunrise, magical, winter) are both valid uses of the 'inspiration' section.
Do not name animals or books/movies/etc that do not leave room for CC in design, these are not customs.
While you get to pick species, the colorist gets to pick which line set (i.e., you can pick 'leopard' but you cannot pick 'leopard (alt. lines)').
