Xmas wishlist meme
Ok, I wasn't going to do it this year, but... you know what? No strings attached. I've nothing to lose.
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 PSG on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/Dean naked in my bed.")
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. [Note: Your home address is not required!]
- 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 friends list (or friends friends, 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 guarantees with this project, 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.
Repost this in your journal so that others can see what you would like to have. Maybe someone will be able to make a holiday wish come true for you! :)

- This is a bit impossible but hey, trying never hurt anyone XD I've recently finished the manga Karin (chibi vampire) and in one of the final omakes the author (Yuna Kagesaki) admitted she made, with a friend of her, a yaoi doujinshi featuring her two characters Kenta and Ren. I MEAN. A YAOI DJ BY THE AUTHOUR HERSELF
*coff* Anyways, of course I’m deadly curious, but since the manga is not this recent and said doujinshi got sold at a convention I’m sure it’s pretty impossible to find. But well, if anyone had anything on this, some info, some blurry photo taken from away during a rainy day, everything would be really appreciated XD I’m just so curious about this I don’t even
- An Agent 250/Agent 300 fanfic (For anyone who doesn’t know the Neils series -and seriously read it because it’s awesome-: http://nielsg.com/archive). Because these two are my new OTP and I just crave to see more of them <3
- A Berserker/Kariya fanfic (from Fate/Zero). Alternatively a Tokiomi/Kariya, or a Rider/Waver, or even a Kirei/Kiritsugu. I’m just kind of obsessed with Fate/Zero lately and while pixiv is going crazy THERE’S NO YAOI FIC AROUND AND I NEED IT LIKE BURNING
- Parody videos. I love the funny ones, but I’m actually quite a sucker for the ones that go for the epic/serious tone too. I just love epic trailers/vids. (and while I’m at it, I love epic music too. If you have some track you think it’s particularly good, I’d gladly check it out!)
- A True Blood fanfic, be it Eric/Bill or Bill/Sam or… gah. Just slash those guys, they (and me) need it.
- A Drew/Vera (Pokemon) doujinshi or fanfic. I love these two to bits, and yet there’s not much of them around! I’d love to see a doujinshi of them, since I can’t for the life of me find a single one, but even a good fic would be great. I just need to love these two a bit more than how I already do.
- Un’altra shot su un pairing non convenzionale di Inside Us della vanryo. Chessò, una Ezra/Seamas, o una Daniel/Seamas, o una Pluton/Seamas. Perchè sono una persona pessima, si.
edit:
- Myths, epic tales and legends. I love those! If there's a myth you particularly like or you think it's not very known I'd love to hear it!
That's it. Very much fandom and very slashy, but. I REGRET NOTHING
I may add something later since I tend to forget things, but for now let's stop here.
and someone please tell me why the damned lj cut doesn't work anymore. I hate you lj. Ok, it's just Explorer that kind of sucks.
