Hm... Last time I did a free-form round robin (long time ago), I got "randomly paired" with the guy who started the thread, while everyone else got paragraph-long stories and 5-minute sketches. Riiiight.

I propose that each person PMs Joeman a five-digit string of random, nonconsecutive numbers, and pair people off or round-robin them in numerical order (from 00000 to 99999) and display the numbers sent in along with the listings, so we'll know if there are shenanigans. Objections? (after all, it's a small chore compared to actually creating something.)

Anyways, nobody would play the lotto if you didn't have the option to pick your own numbers.

If we'd rather keep the "secret santas" a "secret," could even just publish the number jumbles AFTER Christmas.

More work than it's worth? Well, everyone says that, until they get the sneaking suspicion (with or withOUT merrit) that they've been arbitrarily matched.

Also, if there are worries about whether or not we might get stiffed on the present in return, maybe all the entries should be submitted to one central person (in this case, I would assume Joeman?) and released only under the condition that the other person has finished their half? I mean, 'tis the season to be sharing. No freeloaders! :P (this wouldn't work so well for a round-robin style exchange, though. Which should be fine if this is a "secret santa" type exchange.)

/TL;DR

That said, I'll throw my hat in the Christmas spirit arena. Sure. n.n

1. Female time traveler is equipped with a high-tech time machine that consists of metal bangles on her wrists and ankles. The time machine is a self-correcting one that matches the user to appear to be from the same time. Like robes or rags in midieval times, a loincloth in pre-historic times, and (in this case) a sabretooth tiger, since she's just time traveled back to before the ice-age on mistake. (She MAY have a hard time calibrating it back to the present with no fingers or opposable thumbs, heh...)

2. Girl falls asleep in front of the television and wakes up for the 12-13:00 midnight time block. As a result of what's on (will leave this up to the artist/writer's creative license), she gets sucked into the screen (possibly shrunk, from our perspective) while TFing into a feral hyena. Alternately, there could be no shrink or even growth if she falls asleep in front of a very big TV or a theater screen. Your choice. n.n

3. A freak lightning strike in some old roman ruins turns two female tourists into a female version of the mythical Orthos, or two-headed dog and brother of Cerberus.

Anyway, I figured any of those would make for a good story as WELL as illustration. Yeah, overabundance of straight-up TF, but it's really my lynch-pin process, so just bear with me. n.n But I threw in some other processes to play the odds. As per my usual art, a little slight and temporary BE and/or multibreasts would be awesome, but are by no means manditory.
