Is Secret Satan’s junk in the box? I wanna play with it!

[Gone Fission]

Assignments went out October 15th—please let me know ASAP if you didn’t get your assignment!

Happy Equinox, mutherfuzzers! Fall is the time for filling the place up with decorative gourds, mulling some cider, and stalking some homies. So let’s get this started!

Now’s the time to sign yourselves up! The signup deadline is the 13th of october

Send an email to ILFSecretSanta2021@gmail.com (yeah, 21—I’m recycling) with you forum handle in the subject line and include your
ILF handle
Real name
Shipping address
Phone number
Shipping preferences—EU/US or whatever preferred and I will do my absolute best to accommodate you. If you expect shipping in your locale to still be dominated by the hellscape timeline, please give a heads up in your application so me and your Satan can plan accordingly!
Preferred date to receive your gift (if you plan longer holidays around the holidays or whatever)
Can you play vinyl records? CDs? Cassettes? Downloads?
Food allergies or dietary restrictions for snacks.

Here are the very important and traditional RULES—I know, not very rock/metal/punk, but they set expectations so people don’t get screwed over or inadvertently screwing someone over. If you want to participate, these are the rules:

1. Don't be an asshole.

2. ILF Management will review all applicants for rule 1 compliance.

3. Minimum post count of 500. If you don't have 500 posts, it's way too difficult to chose a meaningful/rad gift for you. You can try again next year! I am prepared to make exceptions for cool people, but I have to know you or have someone I trust vouch for you. It sucks but we have had dropouts in years past and it's always really sad.

Also to everyone participating, POST MORE in the run-up to Christmas/Hanukkah/Saturnalia/Solstice so you can be stalked. Doesn't have to be you writing down a shopping list but let the person stalking you get to know who you are and what flavour of pickled herring you like!

4. What should be in the package (guideline):
A pedal or musical apparatus with a minimum value of $100, used or new.
A piece of recorded music. Your own or something you think the recipient should hear.
Swag of other kinds. Do check out previous threads, if you can't find them then WHY YOU SIGNING UP STALKING IS THE POINT. Use that broken ass ILF search function and find out good things

Remember it's not about cost it's about love and thoughtfulness. The guideline minimum value is so nobody feels too completely short changed, but if you get someone something that you have put a lot of thought into and really suits them I'm sure they'll love it even if it cost $22. But if you’re going cheap on your cost, put some homemade Satan-ing effort into it. For instance, some past years’ custom-decorated pedals have been amazing.

5. Presents must reach their destination in time to be opened by Christmas (obviously this will never happen 100% but please try!).

6. Failure to send a gift will result in Ban Hammering. The Management does not enjoy that, you will not enjoy that. And remember, we know where you live.

I will send a receipt email to every successful application. If you haven't received one for a couple of days after sending in your email, PM me.

And so it begins!

I'm not in this year, for a bunch of reasons, but I am here to say FUCK YEAH to this post!

[UglyCasanova]

[cantremember]

Don't feel like I've been active enough this year to partake but be will watching from the sidelines cheering everyone on!

[UglyCasanova]

I haven't been active either, but it's a good excuse to try to right this wrong. Life be hectic sometimes, but ILF is home and SS is the only thing that gets me in a true xmas mood.

[Gone Fission]

It’s a good time to check in and post some more, anyway. Who knows, you may be feeling it’s more appropriate to join in when applications are due.

Yeah, everybody post more. Just do it.

[oldangelmidnight]

There are family and friends that I don't even check in with yearly but it doesn't mean I don't love them. Y'all are a constant murmur in my life and a foundational element of my noisy existence.
I'm doing it again.

to be...or not to be....?

[coldbrightsunlight]

Ah fine, I'll bite.

Dusting off my bunny suit, I guess this means I should post at least once a day for the foreseeable future.
