Secret Santa is a Christmas Gift/Present Exchanging event, where you are to assigned to another user to give a Christmas present to! It can range from Fanart to Fanfiction! And plus, anyone can join!

So this is how it works-we will give a survey for you to fill out with your prefences on what you would like to have as a gift. Make sure to go with something you are very most certain about! After filling it out, we will find another survey that is filled, see if it matches your preferences, then assign you with the person we think is most compatible with your choices!

The gifts/present that can be given/recieved are: ⦁ Fanmixes ⦁ Edits ⦁ Fanart(digital, traditional, SFM, and/or GMOD) ⦁ Fanfiction(long and/or short(NOT TOO SHORT AND NOT TOO LONG) ⦁ Original Music ⦁ Videos(animations, PMVs, AMVs)

Here’s my Secret Santa for @haussier, who wanted to see Gordon kicking some butt! They also mentioned they liked Freemance, so Alyx is along for the ride as they duke it out against some baddies in a low-lit parking garage.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, I hope you all enjoy! ✨ Thank you so much to the mods for hosting this event :) I had a lot of fun working on my piece!
