40cakesStep 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. Icons. I'm bored of some of the ones I have now, and need a change. Preferably Azumanga Daioh, Legend of Black Heaven, Pretear, KaleidoStar, Kare Kano, Lupin III, or GTO, though I'd never say no to Trigun, Utena, or Sailor Moon.
2. New LJ Layout or background. As much as I love almost naked Akio, I've gotten a little tired of him, plus it's not really worksafe, ne? Any of the above fandoms work, or if you have something pretty in purple. Or kitties.
3. Smut in which someone uses the phrase "Stocking Stuffer" as double entendre.
4. Good Gojyo/Hakkai. I haven't found that much, but I think they're fun. If you don't feel like writing anything, recs totally work, too.
5. I've wanted a PS2 for almost a year now. My paypal address is empressgalaxia at yahoo.com. :3
6. Still waiting on my free iPod. Please?
7. Anything Sanrio. At all. Really. Is it cute? I'm all about cute.
8. I'm also all about porn. AdultFanFiction.Net seems to have hit some monetary troubles again. Make a charitable donation.
9. If you're feeling materialistic, to which I have no objections, here's my Amazon.com wishlist.
10. Actual love and peace and no shit stirring or wank and just fun and sharing and friendliness. ...for, like, a day. Because My Little Pony wank cracks me up every time.
And now, to give back, I just thought I'd let everyone know that you can get the Fruits Basket boxed set (or just the empty box, if that's all ye need) for $59.99 at Right Stuf if you put it in your cart, then enter the coupon code "gobble".
