**The 3nd Annual Kinniku-Christmas Exchange!**
Inspired by Christmas Exhanges both in real life and on the internet, it's a chance for lovers of this manga to give gifts to thier fellow fangirl/fanboy in the spirit of the season. To see how things went last year, check out the 1st and 2nd year's threads.
Any important information updates will be put here.
Jan 13: Time to exchange people! <33

**What It's All About** Most people know what a Christmas Exhange/Secret Santa is about, but we'll go through the basics anyway.~ During the holiday season, a group of 3 or more people get together, and write thier names on a small piece of paper.
~ Said papers are stuck in a hat/bowl, and mixed up.
~ One by one, each person grabs a name from the pile. Whoever they've chosen, they need to get a present for them.
In our case, it's gonna be a little different. Instead of going out and buying gifts for each other, we're going to be MAKING gifts. Fanart, Fanfiction, Sprites, whatever you can do, it can be a gift. And of course, since it's a Kinnikuman Guild, the gifts will be Kinniku-related! Here's how it works:
~ As always, we'll need a group of people volunteering to be part of the Exchange. There WILL be a deadline to join up (see "Dates to Remember")
~ When you sign up, you also put in a small request for what you may want in part of your gift. Maybe a theme and/or certain character(s) you want to be the main focus.
~Try not to be too specific in your request, give your Secret Santa a little room to work with. The request doesn't have to be holiday-themed, but if you like, go for it!
~ Once we've gotten all our volunteers for the exchange, either myself or another member (not involved in the exchange) will decide who gets paired with who. This will be done either via online randomizers or the typical names-on-paper routine.
~ Everyone will be notified via PM of thier matchup. After that, we get to work on our gifts!
~ Since the holidays are insane for everyone, the deadline for the exchange will be after the majority of the holidays.

**Questions**
I'll add more FAQ's as they come along. Wait, how do we give each other gifts over the internet?
Rather than send actual physical pieces to each other, we'll be sending files! Feel free to PM them to the person, or even post them in the thread (just make sure the person knows they're here!) If you wanna make fanart, feel free to give the person a PDF file for printing purposes.
So, we get free gifts then?
Nonono, not how it works. You only get a gift if you're willing to give SOMEONE ELSE a gift. If you don't plan on making something for your person, don't even bother joining in. It only leads to disappointment.
What if I'm not the greatest artist/writer?
That's okay! It's not about your skills, it's about taking the time to make a gift for your fellow fan in the name of the season. Whatever you can do, it's enough.
B-but, I don't know who the character is/what they look like!
Our very own Lucemon has made a nifty Kinnikuman screepcap website, Yuujou Power!. Take a look, and if that doesn't help, ask!
Is there any rules on what to ask for?
Nah, but if you plan on asking for Yaoi/Shonen-ai stuff, add a second request just in case your Secret Santa in uncomfortable with it.

YAY!!! My last exam was today, I secret santas have been sent out :3 this will distract me from panicking over whether I did okay or not smile
I hope it's okay if I draw the gift I am giving in my style this year. For the last two years I have been trying to make them look kinniku-y, and maybe failing at it.
OMG MY EXAMS ARE OVER BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
