What is the Web Comic Secret Santa Exchange?

The Web Comic Secret Santa is an exchange of comic gifts. Comic creators submit their comics to a list, and on a specific day, a random comic (not their own) is sent to them. Each artist must then produce a guest comic or a piece of fan art for the assigned comic.

So what happens now?

Registration is now closed and assignments will be handed out by the 8th of December with a deadline of the 19th of December for submitting the finished gift. All the gifts will be shown off on a page on this site, as well as wherever the recipient feels like posting it.

What if I still want to participate?

Registrations as full participants are closed, but if you're willing to help out for nothing more than gratitude, a credit and that lovely warm feeling of knowing you did a nice thing then you can still sign up as a Safety Net Elf.

Safety Net Elves are incredibly helpful people who can be asked to step in if someone fails to complete their assignment or has to pull out for whatever reason. They're the ones who are ready to jump in and save the day should things go wrong. They're pretty great like that.

Check out the Rules and FAQ for more details.

Alternatively, you can use the comment form here if you have any questions.

Under New Management

2013-10-06T20:43:00.000-07:00

Hello. I'm Wendy. Nice to meet you.

As you might have seen Sheryl, who was organising the exchange (and doing a great job of it I might add) decided it was time to call it a day and hand it over to someone new. And that someone new ended up being me.

Does that mean there are going to be changes around here? Well, sort of, but nothing to worry about. The wcss.deerme.net subdomain won't be working any more, so if you have any links that point to the site you'll have to change the domain to http://comicsecretsanta.blogspot.co.uk. There are probably a few dead links around here as a result, but I should have all of those cleaned up in the next day or two.

Other than that, we now have a Twitter account, so if you've been thinking to yourself "You know, I really don't have enough ways to keep up to date with the Web Comic Secret Santa Exchange", then that's for you.

Beyond that it's all business as usual, so just sit back, relax and keep an eye on your emails if you're a previous participant and that Twitter account if you're not and I'll let you all know when sign ups start.

Wendy Wood

Seeking New Management

2013-08-12T12:00:00.000-07:00

Hello, fellow web-comic lovers!

Do you enjoy the Web Comic Secret Santa Exchange? Would you like to run it yourself?

I have enjoyed running the WCSS Exchange for the past few years, but feel it is time for me to retire. However, I would prefer to not retire the WCSS Exchange, too. So, I need someone new to take over.

Qualifications

You must be interested in the WCSS Exchange.
Otherwise, you will not enjoy running it.

You must have some decent organizational skills.
Otherwise, you will find it difficult to run.

You must have/create a BlogSpot account.
Exception: If you want to host the WCSS Exchange elsewhere, then I shall happily provide a link from this site to yours.

Please Note

While you should be interested in the WCSS Exchange, you do not have to be a comic creator to run it!

I am willing to help you this year, if you feel you need help, but hope that you can fully take over all duties (or find other assistants) for the next year and following years.

An Alternative Idea

If you already run an inclusive comic Secret Santa exchange (that does not require being a member of a particular group, community, site, etc.) and would like that to carry the torch, then let me know and I can link this site to your exchange.

Contact Me

Are you ready to take control of the Web Comic Secret Santa Exchange? Then contact me!

Thanks to everyone who has participated in years past!
