The Wish List Meme
Okay, so it looks like I might be writing two Yuletide stories, rather than one. Going by all the ideas I’ve gotten for this fandom.
And now, here’s the Christmas Wishlist meme that’s been going around my friends list.
# Make a post (public, friends-locked, filtered... whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of ten 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 to 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) can get in touch with you. Your home address is not required!
# 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 friends list (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 one person'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 guarantees with this project, and no strings attached. Just... wish, and it might come true. Give and you might receive. You'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
1. I wanted the DVD of Murder By Death, but Mom found that for me.
2. A paid account with extra icons for myx_meggan journal. I’m just hoping that someday (in time for Christmas, maybe) the order will actually go through. Paid for it toward the beginning to middle of October via check, never got anything, and never got the check back. I’ll keep waiting.
3. Never having a bleeding ulcer again. For anyone that’s new to my friends list, you can read about the horror of a two week hospital stay over here.
4. A new layout with the same coloring, but involving either Martha Jones, the Eighth Doctor, the Tenth Doctor, or Donna Noble. Maybe just a banner, rather than a layout.
5. Some Wednesday Addams icons. With or without text; either is fine.
6. For my friends list to have a good year next year--a lot of people have been having a rough time of it this year.
7. Feedback/comments on any of my fanfics, if someone happens to read them.
8. An icon of either Martha Jones, the Doctor, Jack Harkness, or Donna Noble, with my username on it. Or "happy holidays," if at all possible.
I really can’t think of anything for #’s 8 through 10, so I’m leaving it at 7 things.
ETA: I finally thought of something for #8, so I've edited that in.

Didn't think to tape it at the time.
