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.
My List
1. Funny, in-character Kurt/Brian (Teachers) fic, however short, so I don't have to write it myself and wipe my own memory so I can read it.
2. A new mood theme, probably of Illyria, Kennedy or Dawn.
3. Nina fic. Nina/Angel's great, obviously, but I'll go for Nina/anyone.
4. New icons of the Giles, Oz, Ethan or Gunn variety, since I keep thinking "argh, why don't I have a ____ icon"
5. Speaking of Oz and Gunn, Buffy paired with either one of them would be super.
6. Season 5 or later Angel/Spike of the snarky, non-schmoopy variety
7. Dawn/Mia The Princess Diaries crossover Christmas fic because![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fox1013 is right and it's the best series eva.
8. For everybody to either do this meme or![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fandomwishlist so I know what to get them...
ETA:
9. The soundtrack to a Broadway musical, maybe by yousendit.com - I love Bat Boy and Avenue Q and I'm wondering what other great stuff there is that I don't know about. If anybody's got the Hannibal or Titanic musical and is willing to send, that'd be great.
10. Archie comics, since I'm an Archie nut. Not really expecting anyone to go for this one, but my address is in this post (friendslocked), or contact me at doyle@exitseraphim.net.
My Amazon wishlist, technically making this eleven. But my birthday is in December...
