CSI Santa 2005 was the first CSI Project, although it wasn't under that banner at the time. The idea formed late November 2005 and within a few days the website was up and people were signing up.
The idea was to have people sign-up listing certian requirements they would want to read about in a CSI fic. These were then switched about and sent out to the group. As it was nearly Christmas what better than a Secret Santa CSI style??? and CSI Santa 2005 was born. The first Project was ran by myself and Akasha and we had lots of fun, the Project was open to all CSI LV writers and we had a LATE deadline, the 23rd December which meant that we had a very hectic Christmas Eve...I was on the phone to her while stressing over the few that were late submitting and while I was sending out the 'presents' to people Christmas Eve...we said goodnight as the last 'present' was sent at 11:59pm.
The first year we had 17 people join and everyone said they loved the Project.
Following the success of CSI Santa 2005 I just couldn't resist doing it again for 2006 but there were some changes. 2006 saw CSI Santa open to all the CSI groups, I'm now running the project around Uni and we lost Akasha :( !!! It still been great fun running though and this year more people joined and we are now 27.
2007 saw the implication of 3 extra hosts to help with the the 27 fabulous people who joined in.
And 2008...4 Years on...who knows :D.
