NOW OPEN FOR 2017- PLEASE APPLY HERE.
Hi! Welcome to the official Twelve days of Christmas forum thread!
This is a collab, but in a very different sense of the word. I'm looking for 24 people who want to make Christmas/holiday/winter themed projects. They can be anything from art to music to a fun game or animation.
You can find out more about it here, or by scrolling through the posts below this.
If you just want to see the projects when they come out, follow our official studio.

Did our banner bring you here? Check out the creator, @Bright-Idea.

What is the Twelve Days of Christmas?
It's a collection of 24 holiday-related projects. They will be released, one per day, every day from December 1st until December 24th.
Sorry, we aren't accepting applicants anymore! However, if you'd like to see the projects when they come out, you can go follow our official studio. Thanks!
Sponsor us!

The ~ beside your name is just a way for me to keep track of who's clarified their project commitment. Don't worry about them.
If you don't have a squiggly beside your name, please check for a comment I may have left on your profile. If it's not there, don't worry about it. If you do see it, please ensure that you've responded within 5 days or you will be removed from the list. I skipped a few people for the time being as they've just been added to the list within the last 1-3 days and it's probably still at the top of their minds.

Our sponsors:
Our sponsors are shops that excel in their area, and that have agreed to advertise this collab in their shop description. If any of our participants need media for their projects, please check out the shops below.
Obviously, you are welcome to head over to any of these shops without being a participant. I highly recommend all of them, they would be great places to get media for personal projects.

How to apply
We aren't currently accepting applicants, sorry!
If you'd like to apply as a project creator, please post a request to do so either on this thread or on the project link above. I'll review your profile, and if I think you'd be a good fit for making a project, I'll leave a comment and we can talk about what date you want. Once we have that figured out, we'll have a conversation about the project you want to make.
Note: If I can't decide, I might leave a comment that has a few questions in it to help me make up my mind. I do this because I need to make sure that you can publish your project on time. I won't do this to everybody, only if I'm having trouble deciding whether or not you'd fit the collab.


Criteria:
Note: this is pretty flexible, so you can apply if you don't fit these guidelines. I'm just explaining what I look for so if I don't accept you, you'll know why.

I am looking for people who have had some decent experience with coding on scratch, and whose projects are visually appealing as well. (You don't necessarily have to be good at art, just willing to take the initiative to order art from a shop.)
Same thing goes for music/sound effects, it only takes about 15 minutes to track down something free that will fit the project. If you aren't willing to take a little time to look for music, how can I be sure that you're actually going to put time into the project itself?
I'm also personally not very fond of profiles with 90+ projects, but that's only because with that many projects the quality tends to decrease dramatically.

The chances of me accepting you if you haven't read this post in its entirety are a bit slimmer. To show me that you've read it, please add the word “watermelon” to your post. Thanks!
I would also prefer that you have 25+ followers, but again, that isn't very strict.

I really want to accept everybody, and it's really hard for me to turn anyone down because everybody is so good at scratch in their own way. However, I really do need these projects to be well-made and professional, so think thumbnails, some kind of creative fade in/out for text if you have any, etc.

I am so, so sorry if I decide not to accept you. It's always a really hard decision and I hate being the one who has to make it.

Sponsor us!
If you are participating/just really like this idea/anybody in general, it would be awesome if you'd sponsor us!
You can do this by doing any of the following.
Option 1
Add this code to your signature.
This will add this amazing banner (made by the also amazing @Bright-Idea) to your siggy.


Option 2
Add this link to your signature, about me, or what I'm working on: (Or all three!)

Option 3
Follow our studio, and/or love and favorite this project. (Doing so will not earn you recognition below, but it's still appreciated!)

Option 4
If you own a shop, talk to me about shop sponsorship. You can advertise this collab in the OP of your shop, and in return, I'll add your shop name to the first post of this thread, as well as direct all media requests from participants to the list of sponsoring shops.

If you decide to sponsor us as an individual, let me know and I'll link your name down below!

Could I make a project?

The seems like a great Idea. I would love to do a project.

Because the twelve days of christmas is a somewhat well-known song and sounded a lot better than the twenty-four days of christmas.

But the twelve days of christmas starts December 25. This more like a advent calendar.

Oh really? I never knew the 12 days of Christmas started on December 25th. That song always annoyed me because I couldn't figure out why her true love kept giving her all of this stuff in the middle of December. I could go on about the faults in this song for hours. Like her gives her soo many servants that the eggs of the birds that he gives her aren't enough to support her now rather large staff so his gifts essentially eat her out of house and home. :P
Yeah, it is a lot like an advent calendar, but that's a somewhat Christmas-only tradition. I'm trying not to scare away people who don't celebrate Christmas, and the 12 days of Christmas, though it mentions Christmas, doesn't have many obvious religious ties.

While confusing, I got what you are going for.
364 gifts is a lot.

Ah, this clears things up. I'd love to do a day! Could I have 8 please?

Alright, I'll put you down for the 8th! Sorry again for the mix-up. Would you mind dropping a comment on my profile with the project you're thinking about doing?

Bump!

Bump!

This sounds like a good idea. We would like to make a project.

This sounds like a very cool idea! I would love to participate if I can.

December 12th please

I might do one, if I can. I'll probably choose December 15th.

I would be thrilled to do any day. I don't necessarily go for artistic smoothness and sound in my games, but lately I have been trying to do better. Please refer to my most recent project here for an example.

Cheers!

Bump!

Could I take the 19th? I'd like to do some art/animating, and maybe make it interactive.
