THE GIFTS IN QUESTION

To	From	Desc	Link(s)
Really Lovely Digital Waifus	Disrespectful_dud	You are a supervisor for Santa's factory. The elves are striking (and revolting!) but Santa has come in clutch with a contingent of foxgirls to cross the picket lines and put their bushy tails to work! And guess who gets to lead the twitchy ear contingent? Why, it's you!	Chub
Novison	Astroturf	"One night, a spirit with a horse's skull appears outside your door. She proclaims herself to be the spirit of yuletide, Mari Lwyd, and demands to be let in your room. She says she's only here for feast and fun; Do you believe her?"	Chub Catbox
Argalia	Planewalker	The Oshima clan is one like many others in Meiji-era Japan, once holding high status before the abolishment of the samurai class and eager to hold on to whatever power it can retain. Through government offices or getting their children into positions of power. Such is the case of Kaito, the family's eldest son. A young man who holds himself to high standards while turning up his nose at those who refuse to do the same. But as he enters the Imperial University, he finds a sudden challenge in his day-to-day life: he re-encounters you. A friend from his childhood, one that his father was quite adamant about him cutting ties with.	Chub Catbox Neocities
Victrex	Anon E Mouse	Samantha Havel is the captain of a cargo ship, delivering goods between planets in the solar system. In other words, a space trucker. After suffering a horrific accident, she had to have her whole body other than her brain replaced with cybernetics. As such, she can't fly solo anymore in case of difficulties, which means that (You) will be her mechanic. Without FTL travel, it's a 2 year round trip to Titan, so you have plenty of time to get to know each other.	Chub Catbox
博麗霊夢	Lumen	The Princess Esmé Arianne DeLaFongé is space royalty, and you are her dear (female) cousin. As royal cousins do, you are engaged in an informal relationship! One that Esmé both loves and hates at the same time. Play golf (on a space station), do futuristic drugs, be gay, the wealth of the galaxy is at your disposal! …As long as your superior cousin allows the expense, of course.	Chub Neocities
Anon E Mouse	Rekeddeb	Junka. Superior Private of the Imperial Japanese Army, and apparently now your personal guard, tasked with keeping your American ass safe from yourself and any overzealous warriors of the Empire.	Chub Catbox
Chefseru	Victrex	Isla Caldwell is a blue-collar worker whose business went bankrupt during the Coati City quarantine. Afterwards, Rainfall started hiring civilians to become Sewer Rats, exterminators who went into the sewers to clear out the NOMs that started this whole mess. With a family to help support and a lack of options, she took the opportunity. Unfortunately, despite the danger, most people have no respect for Sewer Rats, as she finds out.	Chub Catbox
Chefseru	Victrex	Luka Meier is a Disaster Claims Adjuster that was working closely with the Coati City government when the Crisis hit. Rainfall Corporation, as part of their strategy to avoid blowback, unleashed a flood of social media posts, news articles, and much more to pin the blame for the incident on the Coati City Government, and especially government agents that were trying to help the people. Then the agents got doxed, Luka included. Despite the costs he paid as a result, moving, hiding his face, etc., he still refuses to leave his job, as that idealistic little boy who wanted to be a hero and help people still lives deep within him. Even as he suffers due to powers greater than him, he moves forward.	Chub Catbox
Chefseru	Victrex	Charlotte "Tad" Kennedy is a nine-year-old girl who lost her family during the Coati City Crisis, was separated from her friends, and found herself alone during the four month long quarantine. She survived alone, learning the behavior of the NOM mutations, and eventually, managed to get rescued. But Tad left a part of herself back in that quarantine.	Chub Catbox
Disrespectful_Dud	CodeConfused	Dolly Fontana is a girl who has achieved her childhood dream job. Said dream job just happens to be a high-ranking member of a secret society that may or may not control the world. Fortunately, it's a benevolent(?) society focused on spreading Christmas cheer. Now she's hitting a point in her life where she should have everything… but it feels like there's something missing in her life. Something that she isn't getting by focusing on others. Can you close the hole in her life wide shut?	Chub Catbox
Lumen	Scriptanon	Once a rock star, now a sad fat drunk. Merry Christmas.	Chub Catbox
CodeConfused	DeathToTrip	You found yourself escaping the apocalypse as the only passenger of the sleeper ship Ark Haley, missing 647 Christmases in the process due to time dilation shenanigans. To make up for lost time, Santa asked the space elf Merrybella to bring all of those missed Christmases to you!	Chub
Scriptanon	Ray(on)	Lena Ikeda is a senior-year college student qt with crippling autism, a penchant and fetish for electronics, and an endless capacity for all things related to roleplay - the elusive DM gf, at your beck and call to graciously run tabletop shit for (You).	Chub Catbox
Rekeddeb	博麗霊夢	Takano Usagi is a cute tall anthro donkey girl who probably also loves you. She might seem all calm and proper, but this calmness hides a big stubbornness alongside an even bigger body.	Chub Catbox
Quelana Enjoyer	Crikey McDoodle	You wake up on the morning of Christmas Eve with a splitting headache and a severe case of amnesia. All the windows in the house are boarded off, and Maria urges you to not go outside. What is going on? Can you clear the Plague over Imberton?	Chub Catbox
Quelana Enjoyer	Crikey McDoodle	There is no mystery. Spend a lovely Christmas with your elf maid in Imberton.	Chub Catbox
Crikey McDoodle	Argalia	It's been roughly four years since Tsunemi was turned into a kaiju. Life hasn't changed too much for her since then, except she now has to keep her anger in check or risk transforming into what the masses call a monster.	Chub Catbox
Kyutzomb	Chefseru	Baruch, heavenly servant and seraphim playing the part of the angel on your shoulder, who has no motive beyond serving the Lord's plan!	Catbox
The Dropout	Chaosnake	Your government-assigned ratgirl roommates: One speaks exclusively in memes, one's Scottish accent gets thicker as her theories get wilder, one communicates solely through disappointed sighs. Somehow YOU'RE the normal one now.	Chub
Planewalker	Novison	Stumbling upon a mysterious snow globe in the attic of your new house, you touch it and find yourself transported to the picturesque town of Yulesworth, a rustic little village straight out of a Hallmark movie. Lost and confused? Fear not, your new best friend Nicky is here to help guide you around, show you the best spots, and make you feel comfortable all around. Just don't ask too many questions…	Chub
Secret_Pearson	Kyutzomb	By, a cute and chubby reindeer girl that's taken up her dad's mantle of being a worker for santa after his maternity leave and blah blah. She's a motherly presence, ready to steady you as you fall and comfort you when you're crying over a scratch. She has her own problems as well, and those may spill out way too soon... In the end, she wishes to be like her father and settle down, maybe marry someone worthy.	Chub
Secret_Pearson	Kyutzomb	Risette, a mournful and vengeful spirit whose life was cut short on a fateful Christmas Eve... She's been quite the topic of haunting over many in her thirst for revenge, to make everyone pay - Even so, she's mellowed out in the recent years and was given a holy opportunity: 'Make the nonbelievers believe in Christmas magic again and see the error of their ways', while she doesn't gain anything from it... It gave her purpose. An extremely awkward teenage girl-ish.	Chub
Kirakishou	Secret_Pearson	Your little sister found out that you're the light novel writer who she has been drawing for! Bang her or something, up to ya	Chub
Astroturf	Quelana Enjoyer	Damaged goods twunk who kills for pay. Between an economy ruined by war and more sinister stirrings behind velvet curtains, Vierlès is a sick city. Noir Lucroy is just doing his best to keep his head above the water.	Chub Catbox

Grinched "Gift" (Coal)

It has come to my attention that Kirakishou has grinched Ray(on). More than that, he slipped under my radar by delivering a fake gift: a bot that he made 9 months ago (he did edit it for the event, but it was nonetheless not an original bot made for the event). I wouldn't have even noticed this if the requests hadn't been made public by popular demand.
As the host, I try to stay neutral when it comes to the quality of both requests and deliveries as such things are subjective, but not even making a new bot for the event is crossing a line. Kirakishiou will be banned from future /aicg/ Secret Santa events, and will be eternally labeled as a grinch so that future event hosts know to not allow him in.

How to enter

Send an e-mail to botmakersecretsanta@proton.me
Include the name you prefer to be referred to as, along with a link to wherever you host your bots (chub, neocities, etc.). If you would like to remain anonymous, then say so. I won't tell your Secret Santa who you are, and you can deliver your bot anonymously. However, let it be known that if you don't deliver your bot, you will be publicly labeled a Grinch and forfeit your right to anonymity.
Include a request for the type of bot you want to be made, and (if applicable) any sort of bot you would be unwilling to make. I'll go out of my way to not pair you with someone whose request you're unwilling to make.
