This year, I volunteered to take over the project because Krissi001 discovered she was unable to due to time constraints.  Bear with me, as it's my first time organizing such a project.

What is an Advent Calendar?  An advent calendar depicts the 24 days in December ending on Christmas Day.

Okay, so what's special about an Emoticonist Advent Calendar?  It's special because the calendar's days are filled with things made by anyone who makes emotes, or emoticons!

Who can sign up for this awesome project? Anyone who can create an emote!  Skill doesn't matter, but you must be willing to commit to the day you choose.

Will we be able to do animated entries?  As it's my first year and I'm quite unfamiliar with flash, this calendar will have only static entries.  If you'd like to animate your entry for your own gallery, that's fine, but I will only be able to use a static version of your entry.

Does it HAVE to be Christmas-related? Not at all!  As long as your entry has some sort of end-year holiday theme, it's perfectly acceptable.

So where do we sign up?  Take a look at the deviation below and leave a comment on this journal with whichever box you want.  Be sure to double-check the comments to make sure you haven't chosen a box that someone's already picked! I'll assign the days as they're claimed.



Okay, I've made my entry.  What now? Be sure to have your entry done 3 days before your selected date goes up.  If you are unable to finish by that time, please let me know so I can find a volunteer to complete it.  Upload your entry to Sta.sh and note the Sta.sh link to me.  Do not upload your entry until your date has been opened on the calendar.  It ruins the surprise, otherwise! ;D
