Christmas wishlist
[mood | 
hopeful]
I know that I'm late in the game with this, and that most people have had theirs up for weeks, but I only want five rather simple things.
Step One
- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fun ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
- If you wish for real possible things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.
- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.
Step Two
- Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:
- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.
You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.
There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
1. A paid account. This is the reason the list didn't go up sooner because I was unsure as to whether I actually wanted to ask for this. But I'm sick of only having three icons that I get sick of so quickly because of the rate at which I use them so I'm constantly rotating them. Of course, I feel guilty for asking people to spend money no me especially since I get all nervous when I realize that there isn't a whole lot that I can do for other people because a lot of people are asking for icons and graphics, which I don't do, and new music, and music isn't something I have. So if someone buys me a paid account, I will write them a fic for any fandom (so long as its a fandom I'm comfortable writing in) and pairing that they choose. Heck, I'll even promise to write at least 1000 words, and I don't usually do that.
2. A Supernatural layout using pictures that I have yet to pick out pics that I will post soon. I love my Serenity layout but there's nothing wrong with change sometimes.
3. A Cordelia/Doyle layout for after the Supernatural one. What? So I'm planning ahead. I just think that a layout of those two would be wonderful to have.
4. Icons of Doyle and Cordelia/Doyle. There just aren't enough icons devoted to those two.
5. Chase/Cameron fic. Nothing smutty, but nothing fluffy either. An R-rating for darkness would be okay.
See? It's all very simple.
I'm off to do philosophy.
