in case you missed it, i'm sending out postcards/holiday cards this year. if you would like one, just go to
this post and leave me your contact info in the poll. or just email it to me.
now on to the Christmas Wishlist Meme! yay! :D
so first the instructions:
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, or holiday_wishes) 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.
- Holiday Greeting Cards
- Postcards - my favorite wish from last year. it was so cool getting postcards from around the world.
- Fanfic - smut is awesome, but a really great story works just as well :) and i decided to go with "rare" pairings i don't normally see that often:
- Smallville - Chloe/Whitney
- CW RPF - Allison Mack/Tom Welling, Allison Mack/Jensen Ackles, Allison Mack/Jared Padelecki, Allison Mack/Milo Ventimiglia
- The Office - Karen/Jim (and please make it a non-angsty fic. i love Karen *s*)
- Doctor Who - Jack/Martha
- Battlestar Galatica: Lee/Dee
- Desktops - see my profile for a list of my fandoms. for more details about which characters i like, just comment. or you can do a cast-themed graphic. dimensions need to be 1024x768
- Journal Graphic Set - icon, header (width must be either 760 or 960), profile banner. this could be of one of my fandoms, or stock images, or themed around the upcoming holidays.
- New Moodthemes - specifially, i would like someone to make:
- an animated Chloe Sullivan(SV) moodtheme
- animated/non-animated Martha Jones(Dr.Who) moodtheme
- animated/non-animated Chloe/Clark(SV) moodtheme
