My LJ Santa wishlist:
Step One
- Make a post (public, friends locked, 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 friends list (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.
My wishes
Note: You're probably going to have to let me know if you're buying me something so I can not only give you my address, buy mark it out, so others don't get me the same thing. I know, that ruins the surprise, but not really. I'd be surprised as hell if someone bought me something. *lol*
1) Snail mail of any kind, but especially cool cards/posters to adorn my empty walls.
2) Fanfic. I can never get enough fic written for or because of me. Seriously, I save them and cherish them forever. Pairings (if needed): Jubilee/Skin (GenX/X-men), Dawn/Amanda or Dawn/Andrew & Amanda (Buffy/Angel), velma/shaggy, Scarecrow/Dorothy, Older!Lilo/Older!Stitch, Brigitte/Sam are my big wants, because no body really writes them. But I also dig Patrick/Pete, Noodle/2D, Cheryl/Vincent, Alice/Rain (Resident Evil Movies), Doctor/Rose... I'll put more later, I wager. But those are the ones that come to me right now.
3) Fanart for any of my fics or pairings. It's a rarity, but I'm usually drawing for people, never someone drawing for me. I treasure art gifts just for me.
4) ICONS of things you'd think I'd enjoy.
5) Borders or Best Buy giftcards.
6) All the seasons of Daria past S2 (non-Noggin edited). I have season 1 & 2 (friends locked)
7) Cafepress or Threadless Shirt.
(All have to be XL)

9) Books. I won't be seeing my Aunties this Christmas, and we aren't exchanging presents this year - so we aren't giving each other our books lists. It's very sad, now that I think of it. I haven't even given my list to my mom, because I'm used to giving it to my Aunties.
10) I wasn't going to put something I probably can't have down on here, because it's so much to ask for, but I know I really wanna see Andrew. This will be the fourth year we haven't seen each other. *le sigh* That's what I REALLY want for Christmas... and a tiny house of my own. They go together, I swear.
