💝 Can I include my OCs?

As long as you own the rights to the character and a member of the Bad Sanses is included, you’re allowed to include OCs in your prompts. We strongly recommend you send at least one prompt that doesn’t include an OC.

👻 What if my Santa or Imp disappears?

→ If your Santa disappears, a pinch hitter will step in so you still receive a gift.

→ If your Imp disappears, let us know—you won’t have to make a gift for someone who dropped.

⏳ What if I need more time?

No worries, just message a mod. Extensions are available—communication is key. Ghosting your Imp will leave them giftless and may get you banned from future events.

💝 Can I make more than one gift?

Absolutely! You only need to finish one request, but you can make more if time and inspiration strike. All we ask is that you don’t overexert yourself.

💭 What if I don’t like my Imp’s requests?

Each participant provides at least 3 different prompts. You only need to complete one. If none of them work for you, contact the mods—we’ll help sort it out.

🎨 What kind of gifts are allowed?

Specifically, we allow fanfiction, fanart, and physical crafts. Just make sure your gift shows effort and care—it should be more than a quick doodle or a few lines of text.

✨ Is joining the Discord mandatory?

Yes! We need to have you all in one space to keep track of and contact if necessary. This doesn’t mean you have to socialize—it’s purely a technical thing. But you’re more than welcome to hang out and get to know your fellow elves!

👾 Do I need to know all the Bad Sanses/UTAU characters to join?

Nope! As long as your request includes at least one of the core Nightmare Gang (Nightmare, Killer, Dust, Horror, Cross, or Error) in a multiverse setting, you’re good. You can include other UTAU characters alongside them as well.

💝 No Unsolicited Critique!
When you receive your Santa’s gift, remember it was made with care just for you. Don’t give unsolicited critique or negative feedback. If there’s a genuine issue (like boundaries being ignored), contact the mods—never confront your Santa directly.

🍏 Nightmare Before Gyftmas: A Bad Sanses Gift Exchange 2025 @badsansgyftmas.bsky.social · 10d

📬 Stay in Touch!
Life happens! If you need an extension, run into issues with your Imp’s prompts, or have a conflict, let the mods know as soon as possible. We’ll do everything we can to support you. If you feel you can’t complete your gift, please tell us early so we can find a pinch hitter.

📚 Cater Your Content-Consuming Experience!
Nightmare Before Gyftmas embraces all types of content. All ships are allowed, including controversial ones, as long as you respect others’ boundaries. You’ll never be placed in an uncomfortable position—everything will be properly tagged.

🍏 Nightmare Before Gyftmas: A Bad Sanses Gift Exchange 2025 @badsansgyftmas.bsky.social · 10d

📜 Honor Your Imp’s Requests!
Be mindful of their likes, dislikes, and listed triggers. This event should be safe and enjoyable for everyone, so take extra care when crafting your gift. Mods will do their best to ensure you’re paired with someone you can create for.

🍏 Nightmare Before Gyftmas: A Bad Sanses Gift Exchange 2025 @badsansgyftmas.bsky.social · 10d

🎭 Preserve the Magic of Mystery!
Your Imp shouldn’t know who you are until gifts drop! Don’t post or share your gift publicly before December 25th (timezone TBA on Discord), and don’t spoil the surprise. If you need clarification about your Imp’s requests, ask a mod to reach out for you.
