Well, I did it last year.
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.
Bear in mind that if you do do this for me, I will love you forever, but I will probably not send you thank-you notes until February, which is what happened last year.
1. A laptop
2. House/Wilson, Snape/Lupin, Harry/Draco, or Harry/Luna fic
3. One flesh-and-blood, lives-nearby-yearround person who knows and loves all of me, from the things I flock to RL to the things I flock to web people, to the things I flock to my dearest friends
4. A Rugrats DVD collection
5. To hear nice (and sincere!) things from my MS recipient and everybody else who reads it, before they know who wrote it
6. Iconses! Especially snarky ones.
7. Funny socks
8. Magnets! Any kind, from anywhere, although preferably snarky or with odd pictures
9. To be really involved and happy in an RPG again...I miss it
10. A new format, involving the things I want involved, for my LJ. Somebody on my flist was selling her design of them for spare cash a few months ago, and I didn't have the money then, but it got me thinking about what I wanted in one. I don't have the skills to make one myself, but I'd really, really, like to be able to send somebody the format I got the idea from and the pics I want and say, "Go wild."
If you'd like further information or a snail mail addy, you can always get ahold of me at elucreh@gmail.com
