S T E P . O N E - make a post 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 (fics, picspams, fanmixes) to medium (dvds, books, bracelets, etc) to really big (a new computer, a car, etc). 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 e-mail address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.
S T E P . T W O - Surf around your f-list 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.
01. Books. Send me books you don't want any more, buy me the cheapo used versions of anything on my Amazon wishlist (seriously there are a bunch for a penny), send me fantasy, sci-fi, poetry, nonfiction you think I might like, if it's a book I'll like it.
02. Anything handmade. Make me a bookmark, a bracelet, draw me a picture, if you make me an icon I'll use it, a wallpaper, whatever! If you make it for me, I will love it. :D
03. Bath products. Bubble bath, bath bombs, bath salts, whatever, if you can put it in a tub and it smells nice, send it my way. (if you send me Lush, you will own my soul.) I like spicy and vanilla, most fruit scents, and most florals. Please don't send me jasmine, though!
04. Music. Toss together a few songs that make you think of me, or some stuff you think I'll like. I love getting new music!
05. I am going to keep asking for this until I get it, even if it takes years: Sherlock Stockholm syndrome fic with Jim as the one with the syndrome. If you actually want to write this for me, I can go into more detail if you want it, because... I really, really want it. >.> I want it so bad I've tried writing it myself, but I suck, so... please someone
06. Silver jewelry. I only wear silver, I almost never wear gold, but I have worn every single piece of jewelry my friends have ever given me. My favorite necklace was from

07. Recipes. Give me your favorite ones. Baked goods, entrees, appetizers, drinks, whatever, if it's delicious I want to try it out.
08. Sweaters. I fit a men's medium or a ladies' large in most styles. If you go thrifting and see a cable-knit sweater on the cheap, think fondly of me. xD
09. Postcards. I put them up on my dorm room wall. Send me whatever's neat from where you are. Got pretty landscapes? The world's biggest rubber band ball? Nifty buildings? Whatever's cool, I want to see it.
10. If anybody ever wanted to podfic any of my stories... I know I haven't written any in a long time, but if you really liked something I've written and you wanted to record it, I would be overwhelmingly delighted. Even one of the really short ones. Just, hearing other people read my work = best thing ever. (and I feel kind of lame asking for it, honestly, but nobody's going to spontaneously decide to record years-old fic.)
my address, friends-locked
Please link me to your wishlists when you make them! I like to try to get something for everyone on my flist. ♥
