[Holiday] Stolded from celuthea this year
I remember doing this last year.
STEP ONE
* Make a post (public, friends-locked, filtered... whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of ten holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("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 to make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
* If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), 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) can get in touch with you. Your home address is not required!
* 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 friends list (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 one person'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 guarantees with this project, and no strings attached. Just... wish, and it might come true. Give and you might receive. You'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
1) I can has world peace?
2) Inception fic, Arthur/Eames, Eames is big on Christmas, Arthur's never celebrated, GO!
3) Harry Potter fic, evil!Albus Severus, CHRISTMAS MASSACRE. GO!
4) The TSA and their government accomplices to stop these shennanigans right this second, mister.
5) Anything from my Amazon wishlist. (If the link doesn't work, you should be able to find it by searching for Sailorcelestial under wish lists.)
6) A house here. (With the bonus of being able to afford to continuously live there, yes.)
7) To magically have the ability to finish any one of the millions of writing projects I've started.
8) To be published. And paid for it.
9) A non-religious specific holiday card, address given upon request.
10) Have a happy holidays, y'all.
