Love Exchange 2014
Time to Ring in the New Year - Time to Love Exchange!
One thing that you love in exchange for one thing that someone else loves.
It's a New Year's Resolution of Sharing and Exchanging Love and Squee.

Old Rules Apply
(1) Comment below with your wishes::
- I wish someone would watch [insert series or film here]
- I wish someone would read [insert book here]
- I wish someone would write [insert prompt here]
Optional: Write a letter to your flist, explaining your squee and emotes for the things you wish to share. This is your place to win people over without being too spoilery - to really tell everyone why you love the things you love and why you want to share them so much.
You can link to your love post in your comment on the main thread, if you wish. Just be sure that the letter is unlocked so that anyone who wishes to can read/see it.
(2) Troll the thread and start granting wishes.
Don't take on too much! Only take what you think you can legitimately accomplish this year! Don't stress yourself out trying to grant all the wishes that look interesting. A year is a long time - but this is supposed to be about love, not about anxiety!
This is an exchange of love - so don't forget to offer something in return!! Either by granting someone else's wish in return, or offering up something else. This part is going to be very personal, so feel free to take wish-granting conversations to your personal journal or PM if that makes you feel more comfortable.
Here's an example of one way to exchange love::
Say you agreed to watch Carnivale but I didn't really like any of your wishes, I could take the initiative to say: "Once you are 5-10 episodes into the series, I will gift you meta/fic/graphics of your favorite character/ship at that point" ... It might not be something anyone specifically asks for or offers right away, but is a viable exchange.
Or: you can take a look at my personal love exchange post from last year.
However you decide your love will manifest is the point - just come in and start sharing what you love and we'll do the same!
We will have random check-ins throughout the year. Little, gentle nudges so that you don't forget. When you "complete" a wish - LET US KNOW!!! Share the squee on the community page! Tell us what you loved, what was interesting, what didn't work for you.
(I promise to actually do this - sorry about the unorganized mess that was 2013)
Also - anything that you promise to create or give - please post in the community page as well. Maybe it will catch someone's eye in March when they have more time and are able to commit!
Please pimp out!
The more you share, the more love there is to go around!
