Feel free to share any great deals that would make for great stocking stuffers on your fellow /co/mrade's Amazon wishlist!
What's your favourite Christmas special?
We're moving right along through these threads, the storytimes have been great!
Jeez, not even December and we're on 4. But there's usually a bit of a lull after a week or so before it picks up again closer to Christmas.
AFKQW1X24750
Oh, and favorite Christmas special is Year Without A Santa Claus because of thiscoolmotherfucker
>>77820928
Yeah #3 went by quite fast.
Permission to storytime Alex Robinson's A Kidnapped Santa Claus?
>>77820836
Christmas Comes to Pac-Land cannot be topped, in my estimation.
>>77821048
Ok the lists have been updated to this point. We've at 19 gifts given in less then 4 days.
Damn Anons you Jolly.
>>77820928
But we've been keeping to one a day.

>>77821105
If we can beat our last year, 194 anons entered and only 15 didn't get gifts. (ignoring people posting double gifts, lists that were dead links, and people missing addresses.)
But 179 is an amazing number, and some of the people did get double gifts either from the same person or due to delays in filtering the ungifted list.
>>77820836
I would have to say Muppet Christmas Carol or the episode of Dr Who that I actually started liking Matt Smith, A Christmas Carol.
>>77821192
>>77821213
>>77821251
>>77821157
Ohey, I was actually going to storytime the LoJo later because I wasn't sure whether anyone knew it was Christmas-related
Does anyone have the Fraction Hawkeye Christmas issue? I only have a physical copy.

And done
Gonna do the Fables Christmas special, if no one has any objections.
>>77821679
I think you're clear to go Johnny.
What? We're starting already?
It's been a hectic season for me, we got approved for an apartment ... on friday. it is now monday, and the move in date is tomorrow. So I'm grateful they gave us enough notice for that. Also my girlfriend decided to go and get everything we need by herself and is now in a permanent state of stress because she's doing it all even though there are other people who can be doing stuff too if she'd let them.
Ugh. But anyways, happy chrimbus wishes to you guys. here's my list!
10I09O7UJSEFY
So that's my holiday season so fqar, h
>>77821699
Wow, congrats on the apartment man. I actually signed a lease last Sunday, and I'm moving in this weekend!
>>77821739
Yeah it should be fun if I can afford it. It's me, my girlfriend, and 2 friends who are the funniest people I've ever met. But they're good guys and we all get along so it'll work pretty well. The place is nice, too. Aren't you a Minnesotanon? Because the place is in Eagan.maybe you can help us move
>>77821817
Wow, that's coincidental. My current place is in Apple Valley, and the place I'm moving to is
>>77821699
congrats on the apartment hope your move goes as smoothly as possible
Damn autopost. The place I'm moving to is in Northeast Minneapolis.
Aaaand I'm gonna pass on the helping you move thing. Mostly because I'm actually busy tomorrow.
The big man himself.
>>77821699
Mazel tov. I could never move so quickly. I have too much shit to move. Last time I did it took me over a month to get must of my shit moved, and in the end I still needed a box truck for the rest.
>>77821848
>>77821877
That's alright mate, maybe my u-haul will cross paths with your u-haul. and then we'll slip on the ice and crash into each other.
>>77821875
thanks pal
>>77821699
Congrats on the apartment, but sorry for having to move during the winter, done that a few times now and I can say I hate moving but it's at least twice as annoying with snow and ice.
>>77822020
Let me offer one more piece of advice:make sure you add an address to your wishlist so a certain someone can send you something.
And that'll do it for me!
>>77821969
I think we're only getting the essentials moved in. I still have to pack up all my comics. But since I work retail, I have absolutely no time to do anythign whatsoever, because 1-9 shifts are a surefire way to make sure as much of the prime daytime hours are wasted as possible.
/2JMMIX1GD8A15.co.uk
If there's one thing I hate about winter its cycling to work when the weather is shit.
Should be able to bu someone something around the 14th which should give time for delivery.
>>77822055
Oh, son of a- I used this list last year, wonder why the address didn't save? Thanks for that! Hopefully I'm gift-able now.
>>77822029
Thank you. As long as we survive the experience, I'm okay with it.
>>77822131
>2JMMIX1GD8A15
ha, you're the 69th list added
>>77822067
>>77822179
Well be safe and keep warm. I'd recommend picking up a sack of rock salt to help clear/deice a walk way.
Would you guys be interested in me taking requests for photo shopping /co/ related things into a Christmas theme? Like this image I made for example? If so then I'm taking photoshop requests
>mfw my list has already been removed from the ungifted list
You guys are awesome, I can't believe how fast you did this already. I was worried it was gonna be a repeat of last year waiting until the last week. I'm also not peeking so I can have a good surprise when it comes.
I'm not buying anything until December, so you better hold onto your butts. I'm thinking 4 $50 purchases for people.
>>77822306
This please.
>>77822306
One of the shots from the Batman vs Superman trailers all Christmas like, I feel that Clark and Bruce could use some Christmas cheer between them.
>>77822309
It's an old saying that I haven't seen in a year or two but... /co/ is love
if no one objects ill storytime another transformers christmas special
>>77822521
>>77822556
>>77822306
This maybe?
I might try to do a couple too, but I only recently learned how to do edity-type stuff, just from hanging around in those cut-out caption threads.
>>77822568
>>77822581
i think ill do the op contest with transformers
>>77822603
>>77822615
>>77822624
>>77822453
alright, I'm working on this, I can't really find a good shot of the two in the trailer so I might end up shopping a promotional image or something

I posted in the last thread but didn't get added
>>77822067
Those are my Saturdays. Even though my main job is only 4 hours long, I always stay late for free and travel is between 3 and 4 hours long, so getting much done is a rarity.
>>77822684
>>77822681 ah i love that christmas special every part of it is just the comfiest
>>77822721
>>77822684
>Starscreeeeeeeeeem was trying heeeeeeeeeeeelp!
OH God...
>>77822721
From the thumbnail, I thought that was Wonder Man talking to Starscream for a second.
>>77822730
oh wow i didnt even realize that was the last page of that story tim
well thats my contribution for this thread ill try and find more things to story time another thread for now imma work on that christmas fic for OP
>>77822796
Anybody up for some Ghosbusters: Past, Present, & Future? It's the one holiday-related comic I've got on my new laptop so far.
>>77822695
and that is why I need to check more then twice, sorry I've got you adding in now.
>>77822641
the only thing I can think of would be this shot, maybe putting a tree over the fire and adding santa hats
>>77822829
sure go for it anon also what model laptop if i may ask?
I've never done anything like this before, but it seems pretty fun.

Man, Starscream is always so tsun-tsun for the human race.
>>77822875
he is the truest tsundere bot
Has anyone storytimed the Jonah Hex Christmas Special? I'd love to when I get home from work
>>77822829
I'd say go for it, it's a great read.
>>77822909
not as of yet
>>77822909
right now some anon is probably gonna do the ghostbusters holiday one but you're welcome to do it when you get back from work anon
Alright then, let's see how well the boys in gray handle a good Dickins during the holiday season.
>>77822859
It's a Toshiba Satellite my wife surprised me with on my birthday, since our daughter accidentally knocked our old (admittedly very old) one off the table and cracked the hinge.
>>77822924
>it's a great read
I've been in a real Ghostbusters binge lately and have been considering the IDW omnibus with the holiday one-shots and a couple of mini-series, but glancing at it, the art was pretty bad in some of them. Maybe rereading this will set my mind one way or the other.
My daughter's also taken a liking to Ghosbusters as well, running around the house with a vacuum hose attachment and shouting "Let's catch those ghostes, daddy!" for the past few days.
>>77823011
ahh toshiba's tend to be decent for their moneys worth, im more of an HP person myself
Damn jive turkeys, holding up my storytime.
>>77823167
I've had no complaints, other than the mistake of upgrading to Windows 10 on my part.
>>77823178
>And now, he's running for president. And he's going to deport all ghosts currently in the country and build a wall between America and the spirit world.
First time doing this, got some extra money to share this year. Happy Holidays friends
2IVHNJ70R8H2L
>>77820836
Is it ok to give a gift without getting one? Don't want anyone wasting money on me.
>>77823070
I've always been a GB fanatic, I need to catch up on the IDW comics but my LGC/LCS closed about two years ago I've only been able to buy the first of the total containment hardbacks.
But as for GB stuff I've got the legos, a hocky jersy from geeky jersy, all of the funko pop, the mass histogram version of the board game, posters, movies, video game, and a large box of the real ghostbusters toys from my childhood.
>>77823104
Oh it would be a little big but I'd recommend http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002JVW4ZC just for the backpack
>>77823222
ehh i prefer 10 to 8 although 7 will still hold no1 in my heart
>>77823267
it's all up to you, even putting in your wishlist doesn't guarantee getting a gift it's all random as we would run into issues trying to do specific pairings for this
>>77823267
Yes, giving without expectation of reward is okay.
>>77823229
Haha!
>>77823267
Perfectly fine, anon.
>>77823270
I've got a reprint of one of the theatrical posters, the video game, and the Venkman POP! (I'm seriously considering tracking down the others). I think the missus may've taken my subtle hints about the Total Containment HC to heart for Christmas too, so we'll see.
I also picked up the 2015 Annual yesterday, but haven't read it yet.
>http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002JVW4ZC
Kinda crazy that the larger adult-size is cheaper than the child-size.
>>77823388
yea that's one of the issues with thirdparty sellers on Amazon, they get to set their prices and they're more then happy to price gouge. I would recommend the 1988 toy proton pack but to get once with the caster as well if almost 100 bucks you can almost get the parts to make a proper replica at that cost.
Ho Ho Ho, I be awake and ready to start the day!
'yawns'
How's everyone doing today?
22F7P31ZHSC0V
>>77823476
Yeah... I used to have the trap when I was a kid and used it as a car for my Ray figure, since I didn't have the Ecto-1.
>>77823543
Not bad here, it's my weekend and I've got nachos in the making.
Oh and thanks to Prof Z reading one of the best character developments Dr. Venkman ever went through.
>>77823587
I still have the trap, most of my figures, the firehouse, and a busted to all hell ecto1. I've been meaning to pull them and all of my old tmnt out of storage get them cleaned up and put them up on ebay. I've started a few times then see how little some of the auctions go for and put them back in storage.
>>77823543
Off to work regrettably. So I've been better.
>>77823388
At least get Slimer and Staypuft. I have them both and they are great. I got the toasted Staypuft.
>>77823639
No problem at all, glad you're enjoying it!
I only ever had the trap, which is long gone, and a cartoony fright reaction Ray whose head raised up to make his eyes look huge when you pushed his arm down.
>>77822845
it's okay dude, no big deal and you deserve major props for running this
>>77822871
Hey friend, I'd buy you Gotham Academy except your address isn't enabled
>>77822453
Alright done, ill take some requests later today, I might even make a contest of it, Happy Holidays /co/!
>>77823682
I've considered Slimer for my daughter since she loves him in the cartoon, but I've always loved the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Back when I was a kid, I drew a really wonky one that my grandmother transferred onto cloth and sewed into a pillow/doll kind of thing. I've kept it all these years and passed it onto my daughter. I'll see if I can find it and post a pic later.
And that's all, folks. I hope you've all enjoyed!
>>77823854
Looks like I jumped in the thread at the right time, it's Zum!
>>77824135
Aaand I forgot my trip.
>>77824146
I just remembered that I still have the "I will find you and I will gift you." sketch I made last year.
Bah, I have to leave for work in an hour, I hope they don't fire me today. Either way, I'll have the next 3 days off though.
>>77824414
Anybody with actual tablet drawing skills wants to touch up and color that is more than welcome. It'd be greatly appreciated.
This was done before I had a scanner, so it's just a blotchy photo I took and cropped.
a gift i bought was just shipped today.
if you're posting in here, enjoy your gift.
>>77824414
I still have it saved! I'm pretty sure I saved everything that people made, at least what I saw.
>>77824421
Good luck and burn the place down if they do fire you.
>>77820836
Hey kids, it's Riddler here, just like last year I'll be posting puzzles for you to solve, so get ready and make sure to read up. Hopefully I'll have one up by tomorrow.
>>77824643
Oh and I'll be posting the old Xmas comics/toon bundle I made last year again.
>>77824623
Oh, I could NEVER do THAT.
>>77823771
Oh... dear.... Batman Elf-armor. Thank you anon I'll treasure this gift.
>>77824421
We believe in you, you can burn down your place of work, or hit it with an emp blast... or just sever the phone/internet lines... it all works
>>77824146
All hail the jolly annihilator.
>>77824717
YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.
>>77824830
Naaaah all hail you, you keep the threads organized.
But I forgot how slow the threads roll until winter break starts.
>>77824830
I'm more of an unnecessarily elaborate plot type of guy though.
>>77824894
I just keep the pastebin organized, it's all of the fellow anons and tripfiends that keep the threads alive, without them there would be no Christmas.... well no /co/ Christmas.
>>77824910
I dunno the emp is pretty elaborate. I had a plan once for my old job in a call center to use this huge magnet I have and a car battery in a backpack and roll it around to wipe the hdd of every computer in range. Just add in some more stuff like trip wires or calls from inside the building and the emp would be pretty elaborate.

So, what are everyone's plans for the holidays?
I'll be working. Which is a shame, I was kind of looking forward to a day or week of jolly drinking.
>>77825132
Looking for full time work, trying to relax, and trying to mentally and emotionally get through multiple family events.
>>77825132
I get to see if Walmart will allow me to have Christmas day off, since I work crazy early I can still work Christmas eve and make it to my mother's house for all of the events. Then once there trying to keel my cool and not kill my adopted brothers.
Otherwise just hanging out with friends locally and keeping up with the threads.
>>77824961
Huh, seems like you really put some thought into that.
>>77824894
DON'T I?
Don't I?
Anywho, I've got to go for now, I'll chill with you all later.
>>77825288
When you take calls and get death threats because they missed 4 minuets of a ppv or the lights in the stadium during the superbowl go out and postpone the game by half an hour you start thinking of ways to stop the calls.
>>77825132
Like the rest of us it seems I'll be trapped working.
>>77825173
Happy Hulk! Welcome back!
>>77825288
I'd tell you have to have fun but that's like telling you to go fuck yourself.
>>77825445
Ho Ho Ho Santaseid!
How goes your journey for the Anti-Christmas Equation?
3S8P4W39TIMO6 .co.uk
Any storytime requests? Can't do them now but I'll get around to them when I get a day off.

.....if someone actually bought me panties I'd take a pic of me wearing them and post them, lol
>>77825695
Oh child you know not why you do.
>>77825695
>.....if someone actually bought me panties I'd take a pic of me wearing them and post them
That could either be really bad or really good.... either way there would be too many creepers so I would recommend against it.

Damn this thread is already this far along! Jebus!
Oh apparently happy birthday to Mr. Krabs. https://i.imgur.com/rqziVKs.png
>>77825761>>77825772
lol
nah it's fine,i there wouldn't be any way for people to creep on me hardcore,
>>77826002
except you've got your full name on your address listing. even being a gift list it shows the name on the address as well as the city and state. I doubt there's many people with your full name in your town, I'd go edit your address to have a last name initial like your gift registry.
>>77825695
Well now I might just buy them for myself. I bought you something else instead, enjoy!
>>77826090
Now I'm going to need to see Santaseid in those panties
>Gone gone the cock of Anon
>Arise the ladies panty thong
Or maybe
>Gone gone the form of man
>Arise the female body plan
>>77826090
Ohh to see Santaseid in panties!
>>77826174
Were he Santagan that would be the greatest joke ever.
>>77823734
Hey, thanks for the heads up, I normally never use a wishlist, ha ha.
>>77826246
My address wasn't activated either, I've moved in the last year and it switched it over to null. I noticed right before I posted it and fixed it.
Everyone should really check their address on their wishlist.
>>77826072
sheeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiit thanks for the heads up @__@
i thought i had fixed that last year
okay how does it look now?
>>77826090
omg, thank you!!
>>77826319
Still showing a full name. Go into your wishlist. Do wish settings, view details, under shipping address do create new and fill it out how you want when done do the save changes at the bottom.
>>77826386
Would do well to put these instructions either in the OP or pastebin. Noticed this quite a bit last year.
>>77826386
whew, okay i see what was going on, I left a detail blank, so it wasn't saving my changes.
NOW it's fixed I think
also thanks alot for the heads up Elusive
>>77826432
agreed; the process can be a tad confusing at times
>>77826432
well I've got the bit about adding an address already but I'll go edit it so it also mentions the full name issue.
I'm gonna be off and on because I got 2 papers, a project, and several other things to get done this week. When I get my next paycheck, some anon will get something good, too.
>2550NFG8JFEI7
My list.
>>77826446
and now all better, only initials coming up. Cool you have an alliteration, fits well with the comic world.
>>77826534
cool!!
yah every kid in my family has alliteration initials its.....kind of weird
>>77826567
Meh, just means you can let out a one syllable shout and everyone comes running.
Another year, another year buying gifts for multiple anons, another year my wishlist isn't even looked at
>>77826174
>>77826182
I think we need a drawfriend in here.
>>77826319
No problem just spread the love!

shit i just realized i never posted my code
2HYKOTDJ4F1O4
>>77826651
hah, yes I will!
i got things for a couple of anons in the last few years, but I dont read every thread, so I never found out if they enjoyed it or not
>>77826623
It's not even December yet.
>>77826623
you may be the same anon from before but we've only had 15 ungifted last year and only 3~4of those were ungifted from the year before.
There could be several things causing an issue, like if once of your family members or local friends uses the list and buys you something during the event I would see that as a purchase and end up removing you from the ungifted list, or if your list has no address tied to it and no one can purchase anything for you. Then you wouldn't be in the 15 that missed out last year because I removed all of the ungiftable lists after sending messages to all of the owners asking them to update.
>>77826716
sadly we don't get every person popping in to share whats arrived for them, there's also always people that only show up once to put their list in and then never come back.
>>77825132
5/6 of my siblings will be meeting up on the day after Christmas at my brothers. It's gonna be good.

Hail Santaseid!
Coming back to work after a holiday is the worst. Really, working is the worst. My dream to be a househusband.
Reposting:
For those of you who weren't here the last couple of years, I did various Christmas contests and would gift someone who I arbitrarily chose as the winner. I intend to keep that tradition alive this year.
I decided to get started with a (relatively) big challenge: Write a Christmas story featuring /co/ characters. Maybe Lex Luthor decides he hates Santa because he challenges human superiority. Maybe the Flash has to sub in for Santa one night and deliver presents around the world (has that been done? That must have been done before). It doesn't have to be long, just something short and simple, but the more Christmas special-y the better. If you're a drawfag and want to draw it out instead, that's fine too.
Send your submissions to [email protected]. Or you can post them in the thread, but just make sure I see them. I'll give everyone a week to put something together, so don't feel rushed. At the end I'll share them with the thread and crown a winner. Make sure to include your wishlist with your submission.

Amazon is one of the few services that you can use one account for all countries. So in theory any international Anon can.
>>77828666
Yeah, should be fine. The only place I can't really buy for are places that don't have their own Amazon so shipping gets crazy expensive.
Hope everyone's having a good day! In attempting to figure out what to storytime tonight, I discovered a page of delightful mutant carols. If anyone has any requests for issues or stories for tonight, I'm all ears.

Hey, SDU, thanks again for Superman: Red Son last year. One of my favorite Supes stories.
>>77828732
holy shit this is amazing
>>77828751
Red Son I personally have an odd relationship with.
I find it enjoyable.
I find it interesting.
I waft back and forth on if I actually find it objectively good though.
At times element seem overly stilted and cliche for that type of story, but even when I solidly go "You know... I'm pretty sure this isn't GOOD" I still really enjoy it.
It's sort of how I feel about Morrison stuff at times.
Sometimes it feels like the deepest stuff ever, sometimes it feels like Morrison might just be batshit insane.
Realistically it's probably a combination of both.
Just found the first paragraph of a friggin' Patty Spivot Christmas story about getting a gift for Barry and foiling a D-Lister in the process (I was thinking Trickster or something. If Lois Lane can be badass, why not Patty?) I started writing last year on a whim whilst reading ManaBooch Flash, and now I'm unsure whether to continue it or not. My writing style has changed so much in the last year, I feel I should just bin it. Thoughts, /co/?

And I dug up the original, too.

I actually have a love-hate relationship with comics in general where most of them I'm not sure I can call "objectively good." I think the 22 pages a month can create some really frustrating pacing.
With Superman, I really love stories that emphasize his humanity/Clark Kent-ness, which is why Up, Up, and Away is my favorite. But something about Red Son is just so damn good.

Finish it and submit it to >>77828626

I bring up Up, Up, and Away a ton to people. It's an amazing little story that often seems to be forgotten.
I guess because post Infinite Crisis so many of DCs comics were trying new things, so the idea of Clark wandering around without powers for a bit, then being Superman again didn't seem interesting... but I just fucking loved it.
I love when they go with that CLARK is the 'real' person, and Superman is a suit he puts on.
It explains so simply why Superman always does the right thing without needing much in the way of explanation.
I love the book pointing out little things, like Clark knowing the name of the guy he buys his pretzels from, and how proud the guy is that when he gives pretzels to Superman himself, Superman knows his name.
I love when Superman calls out Lex on how he's been gone for a year and Lex hasn't done crap after years of claiming that Superman stymied him.
It is legitimately one of my favorite Superman stories, and I will never stop recommending it to the annoyance of people who know me.

You're good people, Hulk.
Just woke up from a great nap, which got even better when I noticed an email from a potential employer about a job interview. Here's hoping!
Thowing my list back into the thread20SQMNGX7PEYP .de
How's everyone holding up in their preparations of Christmas?
>>77829076
Not sure if you've read it, but if you enjoy Up, Up, and Away...
Superboy: Boy of Steel (originally published in Adventure Comics) is a fantastically done... it isn't a follow up... but it does touch on some of the same elements.
It's easy to find and cheap.

I'll look into it. So far I haven't really read anything by Geoff Johns that I didn't love.
Though I finished reading his Wally West Flash run literally at lunch today and thought it didn't work quite as well as Mark Waid's run.
>>77829191
A lot of people say that, but honestly...
What does work as well as a Waid run of a book when he's firing on all cylinders?
>>77828626
Oh good i had forgotten the email and im just about done with my submission
>>77829149
I'd read it for Manapul
>>77828751
Yeah no worries mate. I've always liked the ideas behind red son but I've never read it, time to put it in the backlog now.
>>77829191
I feel like Waid's run doesn't work as a whole, the stories are a bit more disjointed instead of a big long run and it has some very low points unlike the Johns run that is very consistent.

Since they're a little hard to read.
