Yes my dears it is that time of year again!!! The time where I sent out cards and decide to exchange presents with as many people as possible off of LJ, because we all love feeling special and getting cool stuff in the mail right? hehe.
Anyway! If you want a card, just leave your address right here (comments are all screened) and whether or not you want to exchange gifts via wishlist ^____^ I'll reply to you with my address (also screened) Now onto the wishlist meme!
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 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 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.
Yaoi manga. I'm really not picky at all, I love all types, but if you really want to narrow it down, I've got a wishlist right
here and it never hurts to ask if I have something or not. Most likely if you do get me something I already have, I'll just sell of my old copy since now I have a shiny new one that came from someone I like =^_^=
2.
A paid account *puppy eyes* Though I've managed to function pretty well without one, I wanna be able to customize my layout again rather than using the templates. I could figure it all out the CSS way, but it's too complicated @____@ Plus having extra iconage is always a plus
3.
Yu-Gi-Oh Fanfiction! Yes I'm a dork. It's hard to find anything good on fanfiction.net and everything on adultfanfiction.net is OOC smut. I like my smut IC thank you very much XD I'm particularly looking for Yami Bakura/Yugi or Otogi/Yugi or Otogi/Kaiba. Dun ask why, I've never been into conventional pairings hahaha.
4.
Pretty icons with my name/face on it. Yes I am vain and conceited. I think we've acknowledged that :P But so not to make this as conceited, anything pretty with Hyoutei, Bakura, Malik, Yaoi, Fuji-sama, Robert Pattinson, Tom Felton and the Playboy bunny logo will suffice as well :P
5.
HIM merch. I freaking love that band and its heartgram logo and ahhhhhh. I have the Razorblade Romance and Deep Shadows album, so yeah. Their new CD is calling to me if you want any hints haha.
6.
Fanart! Specifically, I'd like someone to draw something outta one of my fics. I think it'd be pretty cool don't you think? It can be any one of them really, I'd love love love to see anything relating to my fics and I remember people used to do that because they loved my fics and it made me soooo happy ^_^ So yeah. I'm star sniper on fanfiction.net too but you can also get to some of my lj exclusive fics through the tags.
7.
Peanut Brittle Old fashioned style if you can. I just finished a box that I still haven't paid my mom back for and it was soooo good. I want more hahaha
8.
Starbucks giftcards Don't care the amount. They can be used ones with just a few cents on them, the beauty of those cards is that they reload. I just love having them, they're so pretty.
9.
An admissions letter from Boston or Northeastern Nuff said there haha ^_^
10. Hey Duncan?
I want you to come home. (I think I said this on my last wishlist too)
Oh yeah, in your comment, if you want to exchange gifts, leave me a link to yours!!!
