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) 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. This one is stolen fromtartanshell. :p I wish for a fannish mug, either Harry Potter or X-Men. It can have pictures or just text on it, I'm not picky. Ok, I'm kinda picky...no Cyclops.
2. Some paid LJ time. My subscription ran out a few months agoand I miss my icon space. Thank you, who ever gave me icon space!
3. I'd love to have some nice Northstar or Nightcrawler icons. Or Snape. Snape is good too. :D
4. A Harry Potter scarf in Slytherin colors. I tried making one myself but I suck at knitting. It was pitiful, truly. Thank you, [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com].
5. Share with me your best cheesecake recipes! Mmm, cheesecake... Thank you to all who gave recipes. I've crossed this one off the list but there's always room for more. ;)
6. I love art and I'd like to have more. :) Snape, Lupin, Northstar, Aurora, Nightcrawler, mermaids, kitties...surprise me.
7. Y2kewel has been on the hunt for an old playstation game called Legends of Legaia for a long time now. If you know where to get it I'd love some info. Yay, Ebay!
8. I wouldn't mind at all if someone gave me chocolate. I'm tired of Hershey bars. [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] is my hero.
9. Books! Rec me some of your all-time favorite books. I have Wicked and Jane Erye to get through now. :)
10. I might as well ask for something big, huh? I need new furniture for my living room. If some kind soul has money to burn I can meet you at Ikea in ten minutes...
That is my wish list! I actually had a hard time coming up with ten things. I must have some hidden issue about asking for stuff. *shrugs* If any kind person is interested in th real-world stuff just drop me an e-mail at zinaya@gmail.com
