fajrdrako | Christmas Wish List...

Last LJ where I saw this Christmas Wishlist was on

Wishlist Instructions:

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 Doctor/Jack icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new castle in the Loire Valley.") 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, or holiday_wishes) 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.

So here goes.

My List of Ten Christmas Wishes

1) Romantic, sexy, funny and/or dramatic fics featuring Jack/Doctor.

2) Any stories about Captain Jack Harkness. Just about any pairing or threesome, canonical or otherwise, crossover or otherwise. M/M or M/F or both combined. Or gen, comedy, drabbles, poems, anything.

3) A Gwen/Tosh fic.

4) Picspam with Captain Jack Harkness, John Barrowman, the Doctor, Christopher Eccleston, or David Tennant.

5) Recommendations. This could be recommendations of interesting fic I might not already have found. This applies especially to Torchwood and Doctor Who, but I'd love to know what good fic there is about other shows I've seen - Heroes, The Eleventh Hour and Life, for example.

But I'd also love recommendations for other things, too - websites, online games (particularly free ones), books, music, TV shows, movies, freeware computer programs, websites, LJ communities or personal LJs, fan merchandise and crafts and places I can get them, picture sites, jokes, puzzles, quizzes. Anything interesting.

6) Beta-readers. I always need beta readers. Offers to beta my fic would be wonderful.

7) Prompts. I love writing prompts. Especially romantic ones.

8) Discuss episodes with me - in e-mail or on LJ or however. I love discussing episodes. I love analyzing characters and stories with people. I'm starved for Torchwood and Doctor Who fannish talk.

9) Icons. I love good icons.

10) Encouragement! I love to be encouraged to write.

And if I were to ask for physical stuff, what I'd want is fannish stuff. Anything. Home-made or commercial. Anything with fannish images on them - things I've got in the past (and love) are coasters, mouse pads, mugs, patches, T-shirts, books, pictures (photos or fan art), magazines, comics, action figures, playing cards, trading cards ... Yeah. I love it all.

And since I'm asking, can I also have peace on earth, a TARDIS, and strawberry shortcake with no calories?

Thank you.
