bloodyrosered was also bugging me to do this, so here ya go. ;)
Step one
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.
My wishlist - In no particular order:
1. SPN Fanfic written for me. No Slash or Wincest. I LOVE Hurt/Comfort fics, though. Het is welcome, too, the hotter the better. ;)
2. I'd like to know how to put those little hearts in my posts like a lot of people do. If someone can explain how they do it, that would be very cool. Keep in mind I'm on a Mac & use FireFox.
3. Wallpapers that are SPN-themed or of Jensen that fit my monitor, which is very hi-res at 1680 x 1050.
4. For a convention to be close enough to me so I could actually go to it and see Jensen & Jared! *hopes*
5. For all my old backlog of comments to be magically taken care of (meaning they'd all have replies back).
6. To be able to go up to Vancouver and be on the set or at least near the studios at least once. Seeing the boys would be a plus, of course.
7. Lovebars for my Profile page and small animations for my sidebar. Anything SPN, Jensen, or Jensen & Jared (but not in a slashy way) is welcome.
8. For SPN to last at least 2 or 3 more seasons.
9. For everyone to have a healthy and happy Christmas/holiday/seasonal celebration with their loved ones.
10. Anything else you can think of. :)
If you've posted your Wishlist, please link me to it! Thanks! :D
Don't forget to leave a gift under my virtual tree also! :D
