The Holiday Wish List Meme
The Holiday Wish List Meme is going around, so I thought I would do it again this year. I’ll also cross-post it to ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
wish_list and holiday_wishes in a little while. Beneath the cut, I’ve posted the instructions for the wish list meme, as well as the list.
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.
1. Better luck than the last year and a half has shown. For both me, as well as my friends list--especially regarding anyone on my friends list with pets that have made it through the year.
2. A Doctor Who related icon, with my username on it. Martha, the Doctor, Donna, or Jack. I’m fine with any of them.
3. Someone to write a Doctor Who/Stargate crossover, where either the Doctor, Donna, Martha, or Jack gets taken over by a Go’auld--and the implications of that, as the others attempt to save them.
4. Feedback/comments on my fanfic.
5. A new layout, involving either Martha Jones, the Eighth Doctor, the Tenth Doctor, Donna Noble, or Jack Harkness. I’m just in the mood to change my layout, since I’ve used my current one for so long. Possibly something with a similar coloring.
6. No ice storms this year. However, in the event of one we’ve got enough little heaters to keep us warm, even if we don’t have a generator yet. People that bought them had them recalled anyway, due to blowing up houses.
7. Someone to write a fanfic set sometime after 42--the Doctor gets possessed by that sun creature again. Whether or not it ends well or horribly is up to the writer.
-persiflage_1 filled this request for me, with Possession.
8. A Ghostbusters/Doctor Who crossover. Like with #3, I’ve just wanted to see this sort of thing for a while. Maybe the Doctor runs across Zuul, Vinz Clortho, and Gozer, and they’re just aliens. Maybe a companion (or even the Doctor) gets possessed by Zuul or Vinz Clortho. I saw a Buffy/Ghostbusters crossover a long time ago, where Cordelia and Buffy were possessed by Zuul and Vinz Clortho, so that’s where this idea stems from.
9. Icons from Pushing Daisies, since I just recently watched the entire series in the course of three days. Either that, or icons of the three main characters on Being Human, I currently can’t decide.
