fact and fiction look alike when such a lightning strikes
- TODAY IS THE DAY I GET SHIT DONE!
- have already studied for my tests tomorrow so that any reading I do tonight is just review. awesome.
- am baking pies for the dessert auction at work tomorrow. both are from Baking Bites, a baking blog that I've gotten some truly excellent recipes from in the past. this year I'm making Apple Butter Pie and Eggnog Custard Pie. ngl, I'm bidding on my own stuff tomorrow. :D
- the startrekbigbang story I did a fanmix for went live today! \o/
Story: Chapel and Priest: Husks by spockchick - A fantastic noir-Trek AU featuring the Enterprise detective agency. go. go read and lavish the author with well deserved praise. :)
Art: Gorgeous character art by theoreticalpixy - oh my goodnes this is just gorgeous. I can not stop staring at this especially her take on Gaila and Uhura.
Mix: With Our Rain Washed Histories by loveflyfree - where I attempt with varying degrees of success to capture characters with a song. :)
- it's that time of year again!
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.
