I changed my mind about the old video: this is my new wishlist video. Please click read more. ♥
The Rules
Step One (Skip this step if you do not want to make your own video.)
-Make a video like this one. The video description should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love an 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 the video description so that the holiday joy will spread.
Step Two
-Surf around Youtube 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. You don't need to claim that you're doing something for someone-if they get more than one of something they wanted, fantastic! Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's Christmas special.
My wishlist
- Books! Whether you just send me recommendations or send me the physical books themselves, please send me anything you think I would like: old, new, second-hand, battered, tea-stained, scribbled in, loved! I'm a junkie for the printed word.
- A Christmas card or a letter. Just something small in the post would make me smile.
- Doodles, drawings or illustrations for any of my fanfiction, especially my Charles/Erik fic or my McFassy fic. It can be found here and here.
- On the same note, any sort of response to any of my fic, I would be so complimented.
- A Charles and Erik video set to "When You Were Young" by The Killers, using a mix of XMFC and X1-3 clips.
- A pocket Charles to go with my pocket Magneto.
- Followers on Tumblr! I post mostly about X-Men (and my life), but also Doctor Who, Sherlock, Merlin and others programmes and films of the same ilk.
- An Erik video with "Baleerie Baloo" by Karine Polwart. If no one fills this, I'll do it myself, but I have so many other ideas to get through first.
- TEA! Send me a bag of your favourite tea. Make sure it's wrapped up safely though, so that I don't get a tea-y enevelope if it gets wet in the post!
- For you to have a lovely Christmas, each and every one of you. Thank-you for watching and enjoying my videos! :)
