Username: Ventomology

Name/Alias: Vento or Vee

Interests: D&D, dance, cats, buildings/architecture

Color Preferences: Pink, purple, any jewel tone haha

Where do you spend most of your time on YWS?: Probably forums/people tags and gen lit?

Favorite Artists/Songs/Shows/etc.: never been great at artist loyalty, but I like musical theater--except for the pop-sounding shows. And I haven't actually watched a new show in ages, but I like Avatar the Last Airbender. Also Shakespeare! I'm not really sure where to put him in this list lol.

Favorite Books/Fandoms: I like Dianna Wynne Jones's works, Ghibli, and cozy and/or unusual mysteries! I could live on cozies tbh. Big fan of pokemons too.

Preferred Type of Gift: I love art if you do art! Like many here I would probably collapse in a gooey puddle if you drew anything from something I wrote. I also get a real kick out of poetry and parody, and would never say no to a well-thought-out book recommendations list related to other interests on here. Both fiction and nonfiction are great.

What Do You NOT Want to Get?: As long as you put some thought into it, I'll be happy! And maybe keep it light-hearted?

Other: Happy Holidays!!!

I always have fun thinking about ideas for gifts so I want to try again this year!

Username: keystrings
Name/Alias: Key/Perks
Interests: Writing, reading, poetry, any reference to books, journals, listening to music, playing music, watching sports (hockey, baseball, basketball, football, etc.), watching movies/television shows, watching anime, reading manga, drawing.
Color Preferences: light/dark blues, light/dark purples, greys, silvers.
Where do you spend most of your time on YWS?: I spend the most time in the forums right now and clubs, mainly reading posts.
Favorite Artists/Songs/Shows/etc.: I have a few favorite artists currently, including Fall Out Boy, The Killers and Cherry Bullet. So, alternative rock and girl K-pop as a combination.
Some of my favorite songs by Fall Out Boy are The Kids Aren't Alright and Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes. The Killers have some great songs including This River is Wild and Read My Mind. My favorite songs by Cherry Bullet are Broken and Love So Sweet. Finally, some other favorite songs are What You Know by Two Door Cinema Club, Dance On My Own by LOONA, and Cigarette Daydreams by Cage the Elephant.
I have watched some really good television over the years, so I would say my favorite shows are Lost, Reign, iZombie and Looking For Alaska. I fully recommend any of these shows to anyone.
Favorite Books/Fandoms: My favorite books only seem to grow over the years, but The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky is a forever favorite (inspiration for my first ever username on this site) as well as The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and finally, The Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon to give a more recent novel. I don't have the time to keep up with fandoms anymore, but I still avidly follow anything related to Pokémon games, Baldur's Gate/Dungeons & Dragons, and well drama in the book/writing community.
Preferred Type of Gift: I would love some kind of banner to put on my profile involving either my interests/favorite things and color scheme, or a graphic to put in the "about me" section on my profile page. If that doesn't work, which is fair, then I would actually love a wallpaper for my phone that relates to something I like. If not that, then, I'm fine with some general graphic related to my interests in my preferred color scheme, aha. Hopefully that gives enough options to consider!
What Do You NOT Want to Get?: I don't really want to get anything that's written, especially if it's a ship related piece of writing, and I don't really want something that has neon colors or is mainly black/white.
Other: I looked back at the last entry I did for Secret Santa from 2020 -- some of my answers are the same ones without realizing xD
