Yep, you can join all three if you want! Just keep in mind that it can take a fair bit of time to make 2-3 gifts instead of one

About helping: Not sure if we need more people, but someone will send you a message if we do

@BR5N Hello! I'll try to keep it simple, but if you have more questions feel free to ask

So for all three events: The idea is that you first sign-up then the elves find you someone you make a gift for and someone who will make you a gift. The details on how that works are all explained in private messages by the elves so you don't have to worry.

Now for the three you can sign-up:

1. Anime recommendations: You give an anime recommendation to your recipient and you receive one back from a Santa.
2. Manga recommendations: Same as above, but with manga.
3. Images: Images is a bit different. You have to edit a picture so your recipient can use it as an avatar for example and your Santa make you one. There are a lot of options to pick from here:

I know it sounds a bit complicated, but you don't need to be an expert!

Make sure you read the first post on the sign-up pages, it should clear a few things up!

I’ve never done one of these before and I might do it this year.

How do you know who’s an elf?
I read above that you have to send the gift to an elf not the recipient of said gift.
And how much do you need to write about the show/movie/manga before sending it?

I would just like to know as much info as I can before going forward is all 😅

The elves are elves~ You'll see your first elf around December 3rd!

I read above that you have to send the gift to an elf not the recipient of said gift.

Around December 3rd you'll get a private message by an elf (or multiple elves if you signed up for more than one) to confirm your participation. After that, the elf will send you instructions and help you if you need it.

And how much do you need to write about the show/movie/manga before sending it?

"Minimum character count for gifts. Too much time in Santa's Workshop went to trying to ensure all gifts met a minimum level of quality. going forward, all gifts need to be a minimum of 700 characters long and emphasis will be placed on a nice, genuine message over a persuasive one."

So there's no minimum you really need about what you're recommending. It's more about writing a nice and thoughtful letter to your recipient.

I would just like to know as much info as I can before going forward is all 😅

No worries at all, feel free to ask more questions!

@Zekkenshin

Hopefully someone with experience can chime in later, but for starters:

You’ll be matched with someone around your skill level, so don’t feel too intimidated!
Just having a program with a layers feature & learning how to remove the background from an image will put you around an intermediate tier.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered to be an elf! We have reached our maximum capacity for newcomer elves (too many new hands means Santa's Workshop doesn't run smoothly!) so we unfortunately cannot take any more this year. However, we will definitely be looking again next year, so we hope you'll be interested again~

@akirasonozaki, @cortiebeez, @Dot4447, @lord_ys_007, @LuciKaspOfc - We noticed that you only offered to volunteer and haven't signed up for the gift exchange yet. Please sign-up for the event if you are still interested in participating!

information to proceed with completing the event confirmation.
despite, I believe, meeting the criteria for "How to be a good Santa", in the character section it tells me to "Please read the message above carefully (not the example gift)!" and that doesn't get me going

@MrMatteo I'm a little confused on what you mean and I'm not too sure about the details as I haven't parcipated in this the last 2 years but essentially:

You sign up for the event(s) with the fields given to you, try to fill a decent amount of information into the form so that your santa has at least some information to go off when finding you a gift, but don't put too much and overwhelm them. For this you'll need to have watched or read at least a certain amount of anime or manga to have something you can recommend to your recipient. I think your anime list amount is enough but not too sure on the manga end. Once thats done, mods/elf might edit or ask you to edit your sign up form in case theres any issues or unclear points. This is just to make sure your message is concise and easy to understand for anyone as MAL has users all over the world, speaking different languages so maybe someone that's not the best at English wouldn't understand your message or you might not be able to get your points across. After the confirmation, you get assigned a recipient (and someone is assigned you as their recipient) and you work on a gift recommendation for them, this was 1-3 recommendations last time I participated. You then send over the gift to an elf who will contact you, they run some final checks on it(make sure it's what the recipient wants, add or remove some details (maybe you didn't give enough explanations or maybe accidentally put in a spoiler) and then ship it off to the recipient in time for christmas.

Being a good santa simply means you are qualified for the event, follow MAL guidelines, put effort into your gift, cooperate with the elves when needed and give a good gift.

Oh sorry, I told you the confirmation messages were around December 3rd, but that's the deadline. You should get one soon (and your first sighting of an elf~)

You mean that the form doesn't let you click "Next" right? Make sure to read the questions carefully and answer the four fields on that page before clicking next. One of them requires you to write a number, but if you read carefully, the answer is in plain sight 😉
