Some of My Favorite 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 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, 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) could get in touch with you.
- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, 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.
Here's mine
1. H/D Fanfic - a drabble or a novel length, anything you'd like to give/write for me as long as its fluffy as the fluffiest snow in the world! ...a little flangst wouldn't hurt too ^^ I would love you till the end of time if you do!
2. H/D Fanart - I've been looking for fanart/wallpaper for my laptop. I have a whole archive full of H/D pics but I still can't find the right one. Fluffy like the fanfic, but a little toned down (pg-13, pg - like suitable for public places).
3. Sweets - it can be the sweets themselves or a recipe! I love baking and making candies since I'm a super sweet tooth. please e-mail me if you want to know my address.
4. Yaoi Anime/Manga - I'd love to get some yaoi manga like Wild Rock, Virtuoso di Amore, Love a la Carte, Lies and Kisses, Kissing, Golden Cain, Crimson Spell, and Gorgeous Carat Galaxy. If you can't find them, I'd like to have something like these Our Kingdom, Yami no Matsue (my all time favorite), Loveless, Gorgous Carat and Gravitation.
5. Reccomendations for Anime - I'd like to see more anime with crazy/ridiculous costumes like Trinity Blood - so we could cosplay them. ^^
