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 fun ("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 possible things, 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.
My Wishlist:
1. mp3s of Plain White T's CDs (any of their CDs; I have none *sadface*)
2. more filled requests over at the Junjou Romantica Kink Meme
3. an SG-1 fic/ficlet/drabble/whathaveyou where Jack and Daniel slow dance
4. Christmas fic (as in takes place around/on Christmas) of any/as many of these pairings - Jack/Daniel, Jim/Blair, Nowaki/Hiroki, Drake/Josh, Arthur/Merlin, L/Light, Kirk/Spock, Starsky/Hutch, Chad/Ryan (High School Musical), Peter/Nathan (pre-show), House/Wilson, Chika/Shito (Zombie-Loan)
5. recipes, especially cupcakes or desserts (but pretty much anything that's not sea food)
6. mp3 of 'Teach Me Tonight' by Dinah Washington
7. the KHAAAAAAN! shirt (which I might actually get - it's only $10)
8. mp3 of 'Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)' by Beyoncé [can't get the damn song out of my head]
9. any other music you'd like to share
10. the Junjou Romantica artbook, mugs, umbrella, apron, and the 3rd DVD (limited edition)
Please comment with a link to your wishlist (if you made one)! I'm going to try to go back and see if anyone posted one. For some reason I didn't save them at the time, so it might be hard to find them all.
