Christmas wishlist
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, 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) I wish/hope you will all have nice and peaceful holidays. And that I'll get to know you all better in the following year. :)
2) Happy Christmas fan fic.
I'm not too picky - Clex, Clois, Brex (I recently got hooked) - that all works for me.
As long as it's not just PWP, but has some plot, or pretends to have some plot, and has a happy ending. Something nice to read on Christmas morning.
3) Clex futurfic.
With the way things are going on the show, I want some hope - so futurfic. Lex/Superman. After The Rift. Doesn't have to have a happy ending. Just something to show that The Rift isn't the end.
4) Vids.
Clex, Clois, Brex, Lexana, Spuffy, Spangel, Brian/Justin, Beecher/Keller. All pairings mixed together. Smallville. Solo Lex, Lois, Chloe, Bruce (Batman Begins), Spike vids. I'm not too picky. Can you tell I love vids? :)
Big hugs to Naomi (frelling_tralk)! She made me an awesome Clex vid! Go here to see it. *smooch luv* It's perfect!
5) Wallpapers.
I love them, but I suck at making them. So - see pairings and characters at #4 - that would all work.
Muni (voldything) made me this gorgeous Clex wallpaper!
Thank you honey!! I love it!!
6) Brex fic. Or recs.
I just read Shadows and Stone by laceymcbain. And I want more Brex!
7) Paid account LJ time. Or extra user pics. :)
Thank you Anonymous Person! :) *big hug*
8) Farscape.
Does anyone have tapes and doesn't need them any more? Or maybe has the series downloaded and would be willing to burn and send?
I lost all hope our TV networks will ever buy the show.
I found and downloaded the Pilot, and loved it. I'd really love to see the rest.
Julia (fandom_girl) is my personal hero! Thank you!!
9) Amazon wishlist.
Spike calendar would be nice. - Thank you Phoebe (livejournaltv)! *hugs*
10) Postcards.
If you didn't find anything on the list but would like to do something - I love postcards. :)
And since I unlocked this entry, I removed my address. If you want it send me an e-mail to duskwillow@livejournal.com or comment here. :)
Thanks to everyone who send me cards!
I was grinning throughout the whole December. My postman was jealous. He even asked my Mom how come I'm getting so much mail from all over the world. *g*
LJ, mister, LJ. I'll explain it next time I see you.
