tartanshell's wishlist meme.
And by the way,plotbunnymuse is keeping a master list of wishlists here, so if you post one, go and add a comment.
How it works:
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.
Res's list:
1.A no-frills website redesign. By no-frills I mean no frames and minimal graphics and a super-quick download for those of us who are on dial-up. (I very much like Basingstoke's page, for example.) But I would like mine to be better organized than it is now, easier to make sense of; to separate smutlets from real stories; and possibly to include an art page with thumbnails of all the cool art people have made me. (thanks, silverakira)
2. Songs (mp3s) I haven't been able to find on iTunes.
- Escape Club: "Wild Wild West" (thanks, tzikeh)
- Van Morrison: "Moondance" and "Stoned Me" (thanks, tzikeh and supergrover24)
- Everything: "Hooch"(thanks, tzikeh)
- James Taylor: "Mona" (from "That's Why I'm Here")
- Danny Wilson, "Mary's Prayer"(thanks, thefourthvine
- Sam Cooke: "Summertime (And the Livin' is Easy)"(thanks, a_mews)
3. Charles Dickens books. Used paperbacks are fine, not-so-great condition is fine; I just need them for reference.
A Tale of Two Cities (thanks, nestra)
Barnaby Rudge
Bleak House (thanks, dementordelta)
Christmas stories
David Copperfield
Dombey and Son
Great Expectations
Hard Times (thanks, dementordelta)
Little Dorrit (thanks, dementordelta)
Martin Chuzzlewit
Master Humphrey's Clock
Nicholas Nickelby (thanks, bluerose16)
The Old Curiosity Shop
Oliver Twist (Thanks, nestra)
Our Mutual Friend
The Pickwick Papers (thanks, dementordelta)
Essays and sketches from ...
The Uncommercial Traveler
The Haunted House (1859)
Sketches by Boz
4. C.S. Forester's Hornblower books. Again, used is fine, not-so-great condition is fine.
The Happy Return (Thanks, June)
A Ship of the Line
Flying Colors (thanks, dementordelta)
Mr. Midshipman Hornblower (thanks, veronamay)
The Commodore (thanks, dementordelta)
Lord Hornblower (thanks, dementordelta)
Lieutenant Hornblower (thanks, zebra363)
Admiral Hornblower in the West Indies (thanks, dementordelta)
Hornblower and the Atropos (thanks, dementordelta)
Hornblower and the Hotspur (thanks, dementordelta)
Hornblower and the Crisis (thanks, dementordelta)
5. A Lands End Stadium Squall coat, black, women's XL or 1X. (OK, no harm in asking.)
6. Gift certs for iTunes or Amazon or eBay or Lands End.
7. Someone who understands Japanese to translate the yaoi manga "Nothing Without You" for me. I'd send it to you, if you could promise to send it back. Or, scanlations of manga by Naono Bohra (Boura?), Shiuko Kano, Kazusa Takashima, or Takakura Row. (I've already got some of these, so e-mail me if you've got some and I'll tell you if they're new to me or not.)
8. A KitchenAid food processor. A red one. (OK, no harm in asking.)
9. Some really excellent writer to write me the Harry/Snape story of my dreams: good characterization, lots and lots of really detailed sex, intimacy barriers high at the beginning and then falling with an appropriate level of difficulty, happy ending, no intentional-infliction-of-pain. Bonus points for the overcoming of believable aversions to ordinary touch, for believable virginity/lack of sexual experience, and for very verbal sex, if in character. (When I say believable, I mean staying away from "Don't touch me there! Uncle Vernon used to touch me there!")
10. LJ extra icon subscription. (thanks, sanj and anonymous!)
My e-mail address is resonant8(at)att(dot)net.
edited to add: I do have an Amazon wish list. And I actually prefer to get books and CDs used, rather than new. Seems like a waste otherwise, you know?
