It's that time of year again! Now that we've hit November it's time to start thinking about Christmas and all our events that go on for that!
What's the Advent Calendar?
Basically every year for a long time now, I host a little Advent Calendar for everyone! It's basically a count down to Christmas. How it works is everyone submits pets and items and every day for a set amount of days leading up to Christmas I reveal a page on a website with said items/pets on it! So for example, one day might have a cute dog bed to download as well as a tamsin litter! I do my best to have at least one downloadable item every day so that way there's something available for everyone every day of the calendar!
If you'd like to see what it's like, check out last year's thread
Also as a note, this year Little Bit will be helping me(especially with making sure days go up on time and probably sending out pets as well) so hopefully this year we won't run behind
How Can I Help?
The biggest and best thing you can do is submit stuff to itsjustmebre@gmail.com to be put onto the calendar! Some examples of things you can submit(but are not limited to):
~Bred litters(with or without OWs)
~Hexed litters
~Toys of any sort(beds, treats, chew toys, etc etc etc)
~Clothes of any sort
~Stamps/art(premade or custom!)
~Playscenes
If there's anything you'd like to submit but it isn't on the list and you're unsure, just message me! Also in the case of art, if you want to do something premade but with people's specific petz or something, let me know and I can post an anonymous call for pet pics with any requirements you'd like Things like toyz and clothes can also be custom, however please keep in mind how much time you'll have to commit to them, as everyone will be allowed to redeem that "item" once so you might want to consider not leaving it open ended(for example, like a food bowl with a certain petz name on it and custom bowl color instead of just saying any toy unless you think you'll have time for that) ^-^
What Do I Need To Know To Send Items In?
Something that is a MASSIVE help is including pictures all ready to go! So if you're submitting a litter, it is GREATLY appreciated if you submit a picture of all the pets together in one image and either put text on the image as to the names of each one or including in the email the left to right order of their names! Things like toys or clothes an example picture of a pet playing with the toy or wearing the item is greatly appreciated, this saves me and LB a LOT of time and makes the calendar much smoother on our end. However if you absolutely cannot for some reason go ahead and send in your item, just please try and plan ahead so we have time to get pictures for you The end date for submissions with no pictures is December 15th! If something happens after that send me a message, but I'd really prefer to only get ones with pictures after that as it only takes 10-15 minutes to throw everything up on the website and set items and such for download that way
Also include any rules you may have such as prefix, return policy, etc! These will be included on the website so everyone who downloads your item, asks you for a custom, or adopts a pet you donated will know everything they need to know. So for example, if you're offering a custom and you have any rules about it(like please provide a good picture on a white background or whatever else) these will also be displayed! Also any important info(like if you submit a toy or clothing item and it's P4 only or P5 only) should be included. Also if you breed using OW's or extra files please include them!
Downloadable items are requested to be exclusive to the calendar until 2 days after they're available on the calendar OR on the 25th of December once the last day is up, then you are free to give the items out on your website or elsewhere! The whole point is for DG members to get them first so You're also encouraged to keep items at least semi-secret and not tell everyone so the AC is full of surprised!
You can start sending in stuff immediately to itsjustmebre@gmail.com with the email titled or at least containing "Advent Calendar 2018" just to help me organize some lol. The first day of the AC will go up on the 15th of December and the final day of the calendar will be the 25th of December. Send in as much as you want, if we get more than we need all the extra goes up for Christmas so we can never have too much!
Thanks for putting up with this mountain of text, since there are so many new friends I wanted to make sure I spelled everything out so it's understandable and all that! If you have any questions feel free to reply here or message me if it's something you'd rather be private! I can't wait, this year is going to be great guys!
EDIT: also!!! Forgot to add, please please post here if you don't celebrate Christmas but celebrate a different holiday like Hanukkah or Kwanzaa so that way we can try and get at least a toy or two for you! <3
