The wishlist meme is back
Nov. 21st, 2007 10:16 amStep 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.
1. Anything from my Amazon Wishlist
2. Icons. I know I make a lot of my own but it's nice to have something a bit different. Anything fandom related is good
3. Headers. Again, I make my own but I suck! LOL! I'd love to have a pretty Clex banner for my LJ after Christmas
4. Postcards. I would love to see where you live.
5. Fic. I love hurt/comfort *g*
6. Food! I particularly like candy/sweets that you can't get in this country
7. A day without wank. I would love to see a day on LJ where everyone just gets along and has nice things to say
8. The SV writers to be replaced by fic writers. What? I can wish!
9. A car. LOL! For when I pass my driving test. Hehe!
10. Everyone to have a happy Christmas/holiday
If you need my address leave a comment and I'll send you a screened reply :) Or you can e mail me at hils@livejournal.com
Let me know if you post this/have already posted it and give me the link so I can try and do something for you :)

Date: 2007-11-21 03:12 pm (UTC)The TV shows Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel put a lot of backstory into the character of Angel/Angelus. Some dedicated fan has gone through the effort of taking all those backstory clips, including some of Darla, Spike, and Drusilla as related to Angel, and compiling them together in chronological order. And putting it all up on YouTube. 22 episodes of 7 - 10 minutes each makes for a lot of viewing time, however, a friend put them all into an easy to load playlist. Just click the "Play All Videos" link and enjoy.

I did notice you liked #3 on the last set. Would you like me to work with that or something similar?
no subject
Date: 2007-11-22 12:45 pm (UTC)Yes, I did like banner #3 a lot but I do like my bright colours so maybe something like #2?
What I would really like, if you can do it, is Clark as Kal-El from Crusdade but with Lex too. Is that going to be complicated?

8. The SV writers to be replaced by fic writers. What? I can wish!
*Wishes with you*
If I could, I'd totally send you something, but I'm flat broke. Is it wrong that I'm wishing I could buy presents for my LJ friends instead of some of my crazy family members that I'm actually obligated to buy for?
