Step 1
- 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, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.
Step 2
- 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.
My wishes
- A Pushing Daises / Heroes cross over fic where Ned somehow gets transported to the Heroes universe finds out he's really a hero (and a Petrelli possibly? I mean everyone else is) Bonus points for making Emerson his company partner and bringing Chuck and Olive along (Olive could like be Claire's aunt on Meredith's side, but I can't figure out how to make Chuck be in Heroes land and make sense) For those who are wondering this idea came about just when Elle mentioned pie in 3X08. I'm odd I know.
- Icons. Pushing Daises, Heroes, Potter, Stock, Kelly Clarkson Just some that were made for me. If you want to do this route check user info for pairs or ask.
- A new layout. I love Ned. its no lie, but The Yellow is getting on my nerves and I'm too lazy. Daises (something Olive centric maybe? or Ned. Ned always will win). Heroes (ensemble or Peter or Claire) or Potter (Trio, Cedric, Neville, Neville/Hannah, Tonks, Luna) would be nice. Stock with Kelly Clarkson Lyrics would always work too.
- A recoded userinfo table. I'm sick of the one I have, and would like a new layout with the same information
- A Lyle centric Heroes fic that shows just how awesome he really is.
- A mix cd/ playlist. No ones ever made me one and I need to be exposed to music that isn't wrock musicals Disney or Kelly Clarkson.
- The Remus Lupins 3rd cd. (I don't trust paypal lol) thanks shawnmarie04!
- Everyone to have a safe and happy holidays.
- A way out of this house. I can't stand living here, but I can't afford to leave.
- And not that anyone who will see this can actually do anything about it other than watch: I need Pushing Daises to NOT BE CANCELED! It this the bright spot of my week
