I woke up this morning to an email (weird how those seem quaint and outdated) from my Secret #SneepSnop2k17! Turns out it was @DiaryOfIceTea , and my fursona art flood must have helped because they drew this great piece to add to it! Thanks Raphael! https://meow.social/media/cJXjMSDWozKMJHU9FNg
Just sent my #sneepsnop2k17 gift to my sneepsnopee!! :3
sent off my #sneepsnop2k17 a bit earlier because I wouldn't be able to today
hope they are slightly confused or like it
Good Morning Everyone!! The Givening Is Here!!! Email your gifts to your sneepsnopee now!!! Post what you get onto Mastodon with the #sneepsnop2k17 tag!! I'm so excited to see what you all came up with!
To clarify and be absolutely clear:
I was joking when I suggested you find out your sneepsnopee's home address and mail them a human heart.
Do not try to find out your sneepsnopee's home address
Do not mail them a fresh human heart, still beating.... Beating... Ba dump.... Ba dump...
@BatElite it is. the human heart thing was a joke
It's the final day before the Givening!!! Tomorrow, email your sneepsnopee their gift!! Then post what you got with the tag #sneepsnop2k17 !!
Please keep in mind Timezones are a thing so your 21st isn't necessarily mine. If you don't get anything, give it until Saturday before you contact me to check in on your sneepsnop.
Today's ideas:
• make a cover song of a song they like
• Draw them some funny comics a la xkcd
• Mail them a human heart, don't explain how you got their address
Only two friggin days left before The Givening!! #sneepsnop2k17
Still working on your gift? Don't feel bad.... Me too... I know what I'm doing I'm just still making it!!
Today's gift ideas:
• The pro version of a phone, web, or desktop application (make sure you know what OS they use!!)
• a pull request to a FOSS project implementing something they wanted
• Have a text to speech read a bunch of their posts then remix that as a sample in a kicking electronic dance track
Okay, I finally finished putting together a package for my Secret @sneepsnop , uploaded to cloud storage, and the email with a link is finished and sitting in my drafts folder, waiting to be sent. All I have to do is wake up Wednesday morning and hit Send. #sneepsnop2k17
I hope it's not too little. I tried.
Today's ideas are humor themed
• make a joke account and prepopulate it with funny posts then reveal it to be a gift for your sneepsnopee
• Joke gifts that would be funny to them
• A comedienne's collections of humors
Day six ideas:
• Markov bot/_ebooks account running off their posts
• Tracery bot that generates stuff they like
• make a parody account and fill it with good humor posts they would like and then finish off some mysterious plotline and reveal it to be a gift for them on the 21st
It's Day 6!! Of #sneepsnop2k17 !!!
What if you mashed up their two fave songs?
What if you collaged all of the features of their face onto various foods they like to eat?
Buy them an ebook of a cookbook they might like?
Legally purchase a digital copy of a movie they would like? (I guess?)
Still figuring out today's gift suggestions but please don't turn to crust puff songs for inspiration thousands of birds and servants are not appropriate gifts for sneepsnop.
BTW how is everyone doing? Everyone got their assignment? If you’re struggling with ideas or think you can’t follow through feel free to get in touch by DMing here or emailing sneepsnop@datapup.info and I can look at their profile and try to help. (Unless you’re Shel’s sneepsnop cuz I can’t help you pick out ideas for myself without spoiling the game. Whooops.)
I’ve got five days to go to keep rolling out these suggestions golly gosh it’s gonna get weirder and weirder from here on out folks
Day five of sneepsnop and today’s suggestion is: Arts & Crafts!
• Draw their Fursona/OC/Face
• Commission a drawing of their Fursona
• Buy them a knitting/crochet/weaving/felting/other crafting pattern off Etsy
• Design for them a crafting pattern !! (Make sure you know your sneepsnop does a craft before getting them a pattern)
• Make a small digital art toy or a script that procedure generates images based on the text of their toots (idfk get weird with it)
• Windows Paint 3D Masterpiece????
SNEEPSNOP👏👏👏
DAY FOUR 👏👏👏
TODAY'S SUGGESTIONS 👏👏👏
Writing!
• Buy them an ebook or audiobook, perhaps a kitschy "so bad it's good" self-published piece or a poetry chapbook
• Record an audio reading of a short story or poem
• Write a short story or poem about stuff that excites your sneepsnopee
• An ebook version of an indie tabletop RPG campaign or system. (Monster Hearts anyone?)
• Compile their Best Posts into a PDF printable pamphlet so they can keep their Art on their coffee table
Hey all I'm seeing complaints about being assigned to people with only private posts
If all of your posts are private it's hard to figure out what you like :(
My suggestion: intentionally make some unlisted or public posts about things you like?? Maybe an introductions post? Just to make it easier on your Sneepsnop. Ty!! <3
🎵On the third day of Sneepsnop the Snelephant suggested to me🎶
Today's gift ideas: Games!
1. Make a short Twine story for your Sneepsnopee
2. Make a funky game zine in pico-8 or some other method.
3. Get them a small game from Itch.io, Humble, GOG, or Steam
4. If your sneepsnopee is a fan of puzzles, why not make a collection of picross and crossword puzzles involving things pertaining to their interests (Whats an 11 letter word for the class of workers who do not own the means of production?)
