That wishlist meme

[louiselux]

It's going dark already outside and it's time to take a break from the Website of Doooom that I have spent all day fiddling with.  Some of you may remember me referring to the website of doom, which loomed large in my work day learlier this year. It's better now, but still - uploading content for 5 hours turns my eyeballs inside out.

Anyway, the things you said in my Christmas card poll made me snigger: foreverdirt, yes you were the only one. Fruit cake week is officially replacing Christmas from now on in my diary, snowballjane, seeing as how I know so many like to eat them.  daegaer - it's what every girl wants in their stocking on Christmas eve!  I shall do my best.

The poll is here if you'd like a card from me. 

On the off-chance that someone is feeling incredibly generous:

10 things I want for Christmas  (not in any order of preference)

1. Notebooks for writing on the train - one can never have too many.
2. A big crinkly cellophane-wrapped parcel of Clinique face gunk
3. English translation tankoubons of Saiyuki vols 6-9, Reload or Wild Adapter (although I don't think the last ones exist) or artbooks
4. Saiyuki anime, either or both series
5. Hakkai/Gojyo fic - yes, yes, yes!!  (Can you tell that I like them?)
6. Fic in any of my fandoms
7. Saiyuki picspam
8. Icons
9. Shiny, sparkly things
10. Snow


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.  Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached.

If there is at least one person in your life whom you consider a close friend, and whom you would not have met without being part of an online fandom, post this sentence in your journal.

I hit one of your wishes, and you'll be receiving it in about a week or two. :D
