You make your way up to your cabin through the sleet and snow, carrying a few logs for kindling the fire. As you enter, you are greeted by your partner and children, who are sitting by the fire. They've been waiting for you. You take off your jacket, hat, and boots, leaving them at the door as you approach the fire with the logs. After tossing one in, you are handed a warm glass of cider, which you down quickly.
You clear your throat. Everyone scoots a bit closer to you. They know it's time for…
The 13th Annual SCP Holiday Art Exchange!!!
（主办：Uncle Nicolini，AriadnesThread，LORDXVNV，PlaguePJP，以及psychicprogrammer！）
The Overview 简介
Just wait a minute. What is this? 稍微等等。这是啥？
这是一个匿名圣诞礼物交换活动，各名用户相互配对，为分配到的人准备礼物，根据他们赠送者的需求定制。与此同时，赠送者不知道自己的礼物出自谁之手，直到拿到礼物。这是整个网站的匿名节日欢庆。
A Secret Santa event wherein users get paired with other users and make gifts for their assigned person, according to their giftee's requests. The giftee, meanwhile, does not know their gifter's identity until days after receiving their gift. Anonymous holiday fun for the whole wiki.
What exactly do we "exchange" here? 我们具体“交换”的是什么？
什么都可以，只要是a.) 你原创的，以及b.) 你可以通过互联网给出的。交换的礼物包括文、艺作、音乐到形意舞、头像图，甚至游戏！只要确保是你做的，而不是AI生成的就行。
Anything, really, provided a.) you created it, and b.) you can send it over the internet. Exchanged gifts have ranged from writing, art, and music to interpretive dance, profile pictures, and games! Just make YOU made it, no AI generated nonsense.
哎呦我去！那我要怎么报名？Holy heck! How do I sign up?
只要写一条新帖子，不要回复这条帖子，格式如下：
Simply make a new post, not a reply to this one on this thread following the format below:
> **我能给：What I Can Give:** [你可以给的东西What you can give]
>
> **我想要：What I Am Looking For:** [你想要的东西What you are looking for]不要在“我想要”一栏写“我要什么都可以！”或者类似的话。这样虽然好像给你的送礼者很大的自由，这其实会让他们对你的礼物没主意，最后让这个过程更加困难。请至少给出有一点点确切的要求（同时也要合理）。此外，请局限在SCP和被放逐者之图书馆宇宙。不要请求Steam上的礼物或者请人写一篇和两个网站都无关的OC文。
Do not put "I can receive anything!", or something to that effect, under "What I Am Looking For". While it may seem courteous to your prospective gifter, it actually leaves them with no direction for their gift, making the process inadvertently more difficult. Please be at least a little specific with your requests (while also being reasonable). Additionally, keep things within the confines of the SCP and Wanderer's Library universe. No asking for gifts on Steam or for people to write about an OC that has no relation to either wiki.
在“我能给”一栏：你有机会稍微吹嘘一下！你喜欢创作什么类型的艺作？哪种题材的故事你以前做过，或者哪种题材你希望可以在未来尝试？有没有某个特别的你很自豪的东西想要向大家展示，让这里的其他人兴奋？放上链接！你给我们提供的东西你越喜欢，我们的活动对所有人就越好！
For "What I Can Give": This is your chance to brag a little! What kinds of art do you enjoy making? What kind of stories have you made in the past, or what kinds are you hoping to make in the future? Is there anything in particular that you're particularly proud of that you'd like to show off, to excite the others here? Link it! The better picture you give us of what you feel like you like creating the most, the better this event can be for everyone!
请记住，可能没有足够多的视觉艺术家，所以你也需要调整你可能收到的礼物的期望。
And remember, there may not be enough visual artists to go around so you should also temper your expectations in regard to what you may receive.
此外，必须强调：
Also, one cannot stress this enough:
如果你无法确定自己在下列的deadline前是否可以完成，请不要报名！Don't sign up if you are iffy on making the deadlines, laid out below!
如果你知道自己很忙，或者有事情影响了准备礼物，你可能需要弃权。然而，我们理解如果你的个人生活中出现了意外，让你无法在预期时间完成礼物。我们是有理智的。如果发生了这样的事情，请这样做：
If you know you're busy or something's coming up that interferes with your gift-making, you should probably abstain. However, we understand if something unexpected emerges in your personal life that you could not have planned for and disrupts your Art Exchange intentions. We're reasonable. Provided that occurs:
1) 将未完成的礼物在截止日送出，在之后再完成，或者……Send an unfinished product at the deadline with the intention to finish it later, or…
2) 立刻联系主办方之一，说明自己的情况，我们会马上请替补完成。更多细节见下方折叠！Contact Uncle NicoliniUncle Nicolini, AriadnesThreadAriadnesThread, LORDXVNVLORDXVNV, PlaguePJPPlaguePJP, or psychicprogrammerpsychicprogrammer ASAP about your situation, and we'll get a pinch-hitter on the case right away. More on that in the collapsible further below!

更详细的时间表……
For a more in-depth run-down…
阶段1：报名（11.10-11.15）Stage 1: Signing up (Nov. 10th - Nov. 15th)
从本帖发布至11月15日，美国东部时间上午11点，你可以根据以上指示报名。本帖会告知报名时间的结束。
From the time of this thread's posting to November 15th, 11 AM EST, one may follow the instructions above for signing up. A post on this thread will announce the end of sign-ups.
阶段2：准备礼物（11.16-12.20）Stage 2: Making the gifts (Nov. 16th-ish - Dec. 20th)
在15号之后16号之前，我们会使用电子表格给每位参与者配对收礼者。这几天请注意收私信确定自己的收礼者。从此之后，你的则认就是阅读自己收礼者的帖子并给他们准备礼物。
At some point after the 15th and hopefully before the 16th, we will use spreadsheets to assign every user a giftee. Expect a PM from us around those days with your assignment. From then on, it's your responsibility to read your assigned user's post on this thread and make a gift for them.
请记住：本次活动是完全匿名的。因此，不要让你的收礼者知道是你在准备给他们的礼物。把礼物上传到匿名平台；艺术家经常会用Imgur来匿名发布作品，而作者可以使用匿名Pastebin或者有以下CSS的沙盒页：
Remember: The Art Exchange is completely anonymous. Therefore, you don't want your giftee to know you made their gift. Upload your gifts onto an anonymous medium; artists often use Imgur to post their work anonymously, and writers often use either an anonymous Pastebins or a Sandbox page with the following CSS:
[[module css]]
a#history-button, a#files-button {
display: none;
}
[[/module]]这会使页面底部的“历史记录”和“文件”按钮移出，使沙盒彻底匿名。
This removes the "History" and "Files" buttons from the bottom of the page, making the sandbox completely anonymous.
结束礼物并准备好发送时，只要通过wikidot私信发给主办方之一，标题是“给[收礼者]的礼物”，这样我们就知道这是给谁的，包括你的礼物的链接。你可以在11月16日到12月20日上午九点之间的任何时候发送礼物。如果我们在12月20日之前没有收到可以给出的礼物，我们会假设你不会发送，然后让替补上。不论你在这一deadline前有没有提交作品都会这样做。
When you have finished your gift and want to send it, simply send either myself, AriadnesThread, LORDXVNV, PlaguePJP, or psychicprogrammer a Wikidot PM with the title "Art Exchange Gift For [Name of Giftee]" so we know who it's for, containing a link to your gift. You may send your gift at any time between November 16th and December 20th, 9 AM EST. If we do not receive a presentable draft of a gift by December 20th, 9AM EST, we will assume that you will not submit one and recruit a pinch-hitter for your giftee. This applies regardless of whether or not you turn in your gift after this deadline.
和之前提过的一样，不要鸽活动。如果你不能完成礼物，告诉我们就好！不用不好意思。但是不告诉任何人会让所有人都感到麻烦。
As previously established, do not ghost the Art Exchange. If you can't finish your gift in time, just let us know! Absolutely no shame. But not letting anyone know makes it harder for everyone.
阶段2.5：替补（12月20日-12月24日）Stage 2.5: Pinch-Hitting (Dec. 20th - Dec. 24th)
在这一阶段，替补者（随后解释）将会准备送礼者消失的收礼者的礼物。可能是一个未完成的草稿，但收礼者至少会收到东西。拯救圣诞节，之类的。
During this stage, pinch-hitters (to be explained later) will work on gifts for anyone whose gifters have disappeared. It may be an unfinished draft, but giftees will at least get something. Saving Christmas and whatnot.
Stage 3: Receiving gifts, wondering who made them (Dec. 25th-27th)
Sometime on Christmas Day, you will receive a PM from AriadnesThreadAriadnesThread, LORDXVNVLORDXVNV, PlaguePJPPlaguePJP, psychicprogrammerpsychicprogrammer, or myself with your gifter's gift! We encourage you to post it on this thread, and let others enjoy it with you! Remember to keep everything anonymous until the big reveal.
Stage 4: Revealing the Secret Santas (Dec. 28th)
On this date, we will reveal everyone's gifters and giftees in a giant list. Rejoice!
Stage 5: Optionally posting gifts to the wiki. (Anytime after Dec. 28th)
If you'd like, post your works onto the wiki itself once we've revealed the names! Remember, upon posting, to add the "art-exchange" tag and add your work on the Art Exchange Hub underneath this year's Art Exchange.
If you don't post them onto the wiki as their own pages, feel free to link any artwork you've created under the "Media Arts of 2024" collapsible.
替补和友情提醒Pinch-Hitting and Friendly Reminders
Pinch-Hitters will make a gift for someone when the original gifter cannot follow through. This will mostly come into play between gift submissions and distributions, though we'll call a Pinch-Hitter in anytime a gifter says they cannot fulfill their request, giving the Pinch-Hitter more time to fill in. However, a Pinch-Hitter must be prepared to work under very restrictive timelines, down to 96 hours.
Only sign up as a Pinch-Hitter if you're very confident in your skills under pressure. We may turn down your application as a Pinch-Hitter if we do not share your confidences. It's a bit harsh, but necessary to ensure everyone gets their gift in full confidence. If you have an interest in the position, simply state so on your sign-up post here, and also include your preferred means of contact for pinch hitting (for example, if you prefer Discord, please include your username).
黑名单The Naughty List
Due to a problem in previous years in which some people ghosted the exchange, we have instated a new rule moving forward: In the event someone should ghost the exchange and not give a heads up to the event runners that they will be unable to complete their gift/turn it in in time, they will be unable to enter next year's Art Exchange. There are exceptions to this; we are reasonable people. If you have a good reason or just realized you can't do it, please do let us know before the 20th of December and we'll get a pinch hitter on it, no questions asked.
提醒：Reminders:
- 不要鸽了交换活动。求你，如果你做不了，提前发私信。Don't ghost the exchange. Please, if you can't make it, send a PM beforehand.
- 请记住，无论如何也不会延期！Remember, no extensions whatsoever!
- 如果你在12月20号之前还没有礼物的框架，我们会请替补上。If you don't have a presentable skeleton of a gift to present by the 20th, we will get a pinch hitter.
- 这是匿名活动！不要暴露自己的收礼者，如果你知道什么，也不要让其他人参与！秘密是游戏的一部分！It's called Secret Santa! Don't reveal yourself to your giftee, and if you know something, don't let anyone in on it! Secrecy is part of the fun!
- Keep it jolly and festive! Don't intentionally make a gift that goes against the giftee's wishes, or otherwise knowingly make something bad.
- As previously mentioned, do not use AI Generation tools to create a gift. This will put you on the blacklist for future Art Exchanges, meaning you will not be able to participate.
- All requests must be relevant to either the SCP Wiki or Wanderer's Library universes; no asking for things based off of other media, no matter how much detail you have.
- Oh, and no smut, please. The content on this site can definitely end up in the NSFW zone, but very few people are here for erotica, so please try to steer clear of it. : definition
