So, I came across a swap that specified that Santa should not have a large feminine chest. This made me curious -- why should Santa not have a large chest, and what would Santa (or the Snow Maiden, Hanukkah Harry, Sinterklaas, Father Christmas, Pere Noel, Grandfather Frost and the like) look like if we removed our own expectations from the Jolly Old Soul? And thus began my epic quest (which will last through FOUR EPIC SWAPS) to liberate the holiday hero from the the ring of preconception. In this swap, we will imagine a holiday-gift-giving Valkyrie. It would totally make sense that a flying Viking maiden with a will of steel would be able to deliver all those presents, wouldn't it? Any kind of mash-up or influence of a Valkyrie on Santa (or any holiday gift-giver in the Santa tradition, from the Yule Lads to Babbo Natale), in any form that you enjoy crafting or creating in, is allowed in this swap (you could make a fabulous postcard, ATC, tiny ornament, etc. -- something that requires a fun amount of effort). Emphasis on the personal enjoyment of crafting and appreciating the creativity of others; we are not expecting you to spend 21 years from initial concept to completion! Please have at least 5 type 2 or type 3 swaps rated, great ratings, a sense of humor, a commitment to seeing your vision through, and an appreciation of valkyries. And Santa :) PM me if you need a 1:1 swap. I will Santa Valkyrie (angel) all my swaps, but please send on time and behave, OK? Valkyries usually congregate in drinking halls and battlefields, after all ... And, hey, swing on over to GASP to see more very silly swaps. If you like exploding toilet jokes, it's your group, pretty much. |
