It's that time of the 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 GEEKY holiday wishes; the wishes can be anything at all, from simple ("I want a fanfic!") to medium ("I want toys!") to really big ("I want a WACOM tablet/digital camera/really explicit slash fic"). 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 the MaccaBee, or your secret special friend) 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 an extra of a certain toy, or a gift certificate you won't use, or access to a REALLY AWESOME fan-artist who just might be convinced to apply their skills to some seriously WRONG illustrated smut, 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...
My Holiday Wishlist
1. 2007 calendars of any size or shape.
2. Tarot cards set.
3. Movie posters of any kind, even banners. If you can get me that Happy Feet banner at your local cinema, I'd be most grateful. :P
4. Cell phone chain.
5. Unique but inexpensive namecard holder (to be carried around), can be homemade. Who knows, I might have people interested in your craftwork and wanting to place orders? ^^;
6. Music - send me a burnt CD of the most obscure or your local band/singer but good stuff that I haven't heard of.
7. Wig or hair extension of any color or length. ^^;;
8. Fridge magnet, preferably of things unique to your country/culture. Also preferably non-ceramic and non-glass ones.
9. Book by Anaïs Nin. I've read her most of her diaries but I haven't read her fiction works, other than "Delta of Venus".
10. Gothic Lolita Bible. I haven't been buying any since volume 19.
