I want to do some sort of massive and ridiculous gift exchange thing for the Winter Avarice Festival. Some sort of secret-pal arrangement, one-time only, through the auspices of teh Intarweb (which I hear is shit, but I imagine that's just Sturgeon's Law* in action).

Anyway, this would probably involve sending me your address and a brief sort of description of things that you like/hate/are violently allergic to, letting me match you up with somebody, and then sending them a gift, and somebody else will send you a gift, and so on and so forth.

Of course, this only works if people want to play. Anybody want to play?


* Sturgeon's Law says "90% of everything is crap!". Thus far, it seems to be applicable on any scale, thus a natural law.

I was actually going to match people one-to-one by random draw, but not so that any two people get each other. I'm just facilitating the stochastic method, hey. But in general, you wouldn't know who got you until you got your stuff.

One thing you might consider: it will be very difficult for you to do the matching and NOT know who has you. If that matters or takes the fun out of it for you, you might figure out some way to get an otherwise noninvolved person to do that.
