Randomness, yay! And Christmas listness!

[girlofprey]

I have no money again, a mere week after being given roughly £300 by my parents for food and bills and living and such.

Seriously, like £14. This morning, before I went to town.

This did not stop me buying Nathan Barley on DVD. For lo, it was my whim promise to myself, and if you can't keep those, what's the point yeah?

The Futurama ultimate boxset is only £60 in Fopp ::pines::

Christmas is of course coming, not that I'm allowed to think about it until I've done about three essays, SERIOUSLY AND WITH THE PROPER DILIGENCE. But I'm really not sure how that's going to turn out this year, since as far as I can tell my dad A) doesn't want to just give me money, and b) doesn't want to hear what I want. Hold onto the receipts, dad. That's all I'm saying.

As for you people,

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 fun ("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 possible things, 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.


My Wishlist:

(We all know this is mostly going to be fic. Of pairings none of you like or have heard of. But yes...)

1. Actually, I'd mostly just like more time. Like, four hours in the evening for just reading and ficcing and actually picking up House of Leaves and such. Can any of you do that?


2. Night Watch Anton and Zavulon fic. Preferably Anton/Zavulon fic. Just those two, dealing with some of their issues, possibly with spells and charms and mpreg and such. And it's cruel because I know from experience it's a bitch to write, but - yes.


3. SEA OF SOULS slash. Or even Sea of Souls squeeing. Or even Sea of Souls discussion. Someone to know what the hell I'm talking about when I say Craig/John Wade (pussintweed aside :;dances her::)


4. Green Wing to be on DVD. But we all know that's not going to happen :( (Why can't it be more like the Nathan Barley DVD...except, y'know, better)


5. Mac/Guy fic. Because let's face it, no-one else is going to be nice to Guy at Christmas.


6. Cholo/Riley fic. From Land of the Dead. Which hopefully will be on DVD by Christmas. Because their love was so cynical and post-modern and doomed. Although frankly I'd mostly like to WRITE it.


7. The Master and Margarita slash. Because it's crazy Russian poet/Satan. seriously people, what is the problem here?


8. Tim/Duane from Spaced. Which calapine promised to write me once. But life has taught me that fandom promises are fickle, fickle things...


9. Nine/Mickey mpreg. Again partially inspired by calapine, and it has so grown on me. Because Mickey could call and be all 'Back here. NOW.', and then be huge, and the Doctor would be all '...Shit'. And then he would examine him and be all 'you don't have any [random alien species] in you do you?', and Mickey would be all 'WHAT?' and cry. And then he could be a single mum on a council estate. And the child would be all snot-nosed and tracksuit wearing and pickle-eating, but invent his own sonic screwdriver by the time he's five. And yes.


10. Draco to be very pretty in the upcoming Potter movie, and there be many many icons to celebrate this fact. Yay.

My list seems slightly angry, for some reason. Perhaps the fact most of the things I wish for are things I wish I would write. Dammit.

I went to see the doctor about the crazy spots appearing on my hands lately, and she tells me they look like insect bites. So now I'm infested. Joy.

That is mostly all.
