Christmas meme 2008
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 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.
The things I want (in no particular order) are:
01. DramaQueen to reprint Empty Heart I <3 Book Off.
02. the plush sheep that came with the Harvest Moon GameCube game a few years ago
03. the plush chicken that came with Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness
04. Pushing Daisies to be uncanceled
05. that Jake Hunter game to be re-released in English with all the cases
06. Chrono Trigger (for DS) to cost $20 or less I forgot I preordered it from Amazon to get the Extra Soundtrack...and then they shipped it and I remembered and I mourned my $40.
07. Time Hollow to cost $20 or less
08. FFXI's user interface to become friendlier
09. Amazon to give preorder bonuses instead of GameStop This has partly come true; Amazon does offer some of the preorder bonuses. I say "instead of" instead of "in addition to" because if GameStop doesn't have any, then Amazon can have more:p
10. tbd
