Putting out another call for holiday cards, if you want one! If you already left your address in this post, don't worry about leaving it again, although I would appreciate you filling out the second half of this poll. And listen, do not even be stubborn and not leave your address just because you're not sending out cards. I HAVE the cards. If I don't send them out, they go to waste. So by leaving your address, you're doing me a favor.

[Poll #1096244]

I've seen a few people post these so far, but more of you need to get on that. Even if it's just fannish stuff you want, I'd like to try and grant as many as I can this year. And if you've posted one, link me! Obvs you are under no obligation to even try to grant any of these, it's just a just in case kinda thing. :D

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. Donate to a charity. One of your choosing is great, or if you're not sure which charities are legit, check out give.org. If you're donating in my name, I'd love to see it go to an Alzheimer's, spina bifida, or brain cancer charity, as my family as been strongly affected by all three.

2. Give blood / volunteer at a nursing home / donate books to the library / donate food to a food bank / etc. Seriously, I honestly believe that every little bit counts.

3. Lip balm/gloss. I am addicted to the stuff. Even the cheap, unflavored ones, or the little kid kinds.

4. Books. Not that I have room for more, but if you have books you don't want anymore, or that you're thinking of throwing out (and don't plan on donating them), send them my way. I'll take whatever you've got. I'm not a huge fan of romance novels, but I'd still rather get them than see them thrown away.

5. Bracelets. Jelly bracelets, friendship bracelets, jangly ones, little kid ones, whatever. I love bracelets.

6. Things to put on my walls. My walls are very empty right now, so posters from any of my fandoms, even magazine spreads from any of the shows I watch would be cool. Or hand-drawn stuff, I would love that! Even just an ad from a magazine that caught your eye, or a silly collage of cut-outs.

7. Fic! Oh man, fic written especially for me always makes my whole year. I'm really jonesing for some good Sark (Alias) fic, either paired up with Will, Vaughn or Weiss from the show, or crossed over with pretty much any of my other fandoms. Or even a good gen Sark fic, getting into his head or getting into his past. Or Adam (Heroes) fic! (I'm on a David Anders kick, obviously.) I would kill for some fic explaining just what he's been doing all this time. Of course, Supernatural fic is always a good bet, Dean/Sam kinkiness is fun, or some good dark fic, or even some gen-ish brotherly snarking. I honestly would be happy with anything from any of my fandoms, just fic!

8. A layout. A David Anders layout. The layout I'm using right now is super cute, but it's not very personalized. I would just about kill for a pretty layout with him. I'm going to be doing a David Anders picspam post in the near future, so if you're eying this as a possibility, check that post for some of my favorite pictures of him.

9. The song from here. It's a cover of AC/DC's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, and I cannot find it anywhere. Apparently it's from this CD, but there aren't any artists listed, and I'm coming up empty. I don't want the whole CD, I just want that one song. I don't even know why I like this cover so much. It could have something to do with the fact that in my head, it's associated with David Anders in a fucking SUIT doing fucking PUSHUPS whilst fucking SMOKING. IDK.

10. Shiny things. When I say I get distracted easily by shiny things? I totally mean it. I love little baubles, or cute little knick-knacks, anything sparkly/glittery/with bright colors/etc. I'm five years old sometimes, and I'm ok with that. In the same vein, anything My Little Pony/Care Bears/Strawberry Shortcake, and I will be yours forever.

If you need my address for anything, e-mail me. I know it kind of ruins the surprise, but I'm not totally comfortable putting it in a non-friends locked post. :-/

::saves your wish list::

here's mine - http://storydivagirl.livejournal.com/303107.html

Thank you, doll! ♥

i just looked at it, but i can't even remember: you DID leave your address on my post, didn't you? i'm pretty sure you did. anyways, i'm done making the mix cds, so they should be going out rilly rilly soon. just, you know, fyi.

ALSO: your little sammy moodtheme icon makes me laugh every time i see it. <33333

shannon

Um, I think so? I'm pretty sure. If I didn't, it wasn't on purpose. LIKE I WOULD EVER PASS UP MAIL FROM SHANNON. SRSLY.

His little FACE. ♥

YES YOU DID DON'T WORRY. ;-) and you're getting a drabble, too. it can be mcshep! or spn! or whatever you want! just tell it to me, hokay?

OMG SAMMY. that's his "i lost my shoe" face that makes all the fangirls squee until they keel over and die from the cute. <33

shannon

SHANNON!DRABBLE FTW. Someday, I will be like, Hey, Shan. And you'll be like, what? And I'll be like, ok, it's almost Christmas, and I am decorating my tree, and here's what I want. I want drabbles written on small pieces of colored paper, along with certain passages from your fic on other colored pieces of paper. And I will put hooks in them and decorate my tree with Shannon!fic. TRUE STORY.

YOU PICK. Seriously. I haven't had a chance to watch much SGA yet, but you know damn well once I do I'm gonna be coming to you like SHANNON WRITE ME FIC and you will be like LOOK I ALREADY DID READ YOUR HOLIDAY DRABBLE. So. lol. You pick. ♥

IT IS RIDICULOUSLY CUTE.

OMG THAT'S THE BEST IDEA I'VE EVER HEARD. I SHOULD GO INTO BUSINESS AND GET LITTLE TINY FAKE TREES AND PLASTER THEM WITH COLORED PAPERS FILLED WITH PHRASES FROM EVERY ONE OF MY FICS AND SELL THEM FOR A TRILLION DOLLARS. I WILL BE RICH MUHAHAHAHA.

mmkay, i can do mcshep. i remember cheating and reading fic before i watched the series, so i think it'll be cool. honestly, i think that's actually how i got in to the show, too. i'll try not to be too spoilery. i'll probably just do, like, an au, anyway. do you want it for realz handwritten like on a piece of paper or printed out?

<333

shannon

PS: I'M RUNNING OUT OF SAM ICONS :(

I WOULD LIKE 10% OF A TRILLION DOLLARS PLZ.

I've read a couple of fics so far, but I usually hate reading fic before I actually watch the show because I like to have at least a few things remain surprises, and also because I get confused with large casts until I know them by sight. But anything you write is gonna be good, so. You know. :D

Um, handwritten? If that's cool? If you're like JESS OMG DO YOU NOT EVEN REALIZE THAT I WRITE SO MUCH FOR SCHOOL AND THEN FOR LIKE ALL THE OTHER STUFF IN MY LIFE THAT I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO EXPLAIN TO YOU THAT MY HAND IS ALL CRAMPING AND YET YOU ASK THIS OF ME? then printed out is cool, too. ;)

PS THAT IS A SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS EXCEPT NOT REALLY BECAUSE DEAN/SAM ICONS ARE JUST AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER.

SURE OKAY I JUST HAVE TO PASS THAT BY MY AGENT, HOKAY?

yeah, i totally don't care about spoilers, becuz i am a child and i need to know everything the second it comes out. and, hey, i usually forget about it, so it's all good, anyway. lol.

HANDWRITTEN IS COOL! i'm done skool in two weeks, so if i don't find enough time, you'll get it then, kthxbai.

shannon

PS: THIS IS MY SECOND TO LAST ONE. :( AND YEAH THAT'S RITE I TOTALLY DID FORGET MY NAME. THANK YOU, LJ, FOR EDITS.

SURE SURE OF COURSE.

Oh I am a total spoiler whore, completely, but only for shows I'm currently watching. For shows I plan on just mainlining later, I like the surprises. I don't actively avoid spoilers or anything, but it's cool when I don't see things coming.

WHY IN THE WORLD DO YOU NOT HAVE MORE? Lack of space or lack of good icons to upload?

both. becuz i haven't made icons in FOREVER and i think i have, like, two spaces left, lol. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I NEED? BESIDES MORE ILOSTMYSHOE!SAMMY FACES? JOHN! I NEED JOHN ICONS. preferably john/dean icons, but just john overall. becuz i totally don't have one and how sad is that! skool totally needs to end right now so i can get back to making icons.

LAST ONE SNIFF SNIFF :(

shannon

MORE JOHN IS ALWAYS GOOD, AS IS MORE JOHN/DEAN. There really are a total lack of John/Dean icons in this fandom, it's sad. The ones (one?) I have are animated of John looking all suitably sexy and evil while he's possessed and making Dean look all sad and submissive. :D

I LIKE THAT ONE! with dean's cute little sad face.

AND HOMG YOU DID NOT JUST GIVE ME SIX MONTHS OF A MILLION USERPICS. <333333333333333333333333 I LOVE YOU TIMES A TRILLION. FOR REALZ. and now i will HAVE to make some john/dean icons, yaaay! thank you so much!

shannon

Dean looks good sad, trufax.

I'm pretty sure writing asthmatic!Dean/Sam!serial killers entitles you to at the very least some userpic space. And also just because you're totally adorable. ♥

WELL, I AM PRETTY ADORABLE WOT CAN I SAY? haha.

plus, dude, it was my pleasure writing asthmatic!dean/sam. i mean, that was just too hot to pass up. <33

shannon

I'm pretty sure I actually filled out your last poll thingy, but just to be safe :D

*bookmarks wishlist*

also:

YOU. KILLED. ME. DEAD. LOOKIT HIS TREASURE TRAIL. AND HIS FREAKING LONG TORSO. AND HIS NAKED WET SELF HOMG.

AND THEN LOOKIT ANDERS BEING ALL FREAKING ANDERS AND THE HAIR AND THE LIPS AND THE EYES AND THE SKIN SRKLDJFLKSDFJSDFKLJSDF.

♥ x a gajillion trillion.

dhsfgsdkhsdfhjgfkhjd,dfgdsfsdjadsjkdsjlfsdklfjlsdfkldsfjldsflkj I KNOW!!!!! I FUCKING DIED WATCHING THE EP TODAY!!! AND OF COURSE IT WASN'T ENOUGH THAT HE WAS SHIRT-LESS, HE HAD TO BE WET, TOO! sdfshfdhfjsashjhkasdkj I just want to lick him. My mouth is actually watering when I look at him!

AND THAT ANDERS PIC KILLED ME, TOO!!! HE IS SO PRETTY OMG!!!!!

I NEED TO REWATCH THIS EPISODE LIKE ASAP AND JUST REWIND PLAY REWIND PLAY REWIND PLAY ALL THE QUINTO AND ANDERS PARTS. LLAKDSFJSKDAJFJF I HONESTLY THINK IT IS THE INTENTION OF TIM KRING TO KILL PEOPLE OFF BY HAVING SO MUCH PRETTY ALL IN ONE PLACE. HUMAN HEARTS (AND OVARIES) ARE NOT MEANT FOR SO MUCH.

SERIOUSLY, I KNOW! IT SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE FOR ANYONE TO BE THAT PRETTY!

ALSO, MY LIFE AS A SYLARIAN IS MADE MUCH EASIER BY THE SYLAR-ONLY-CLIPS ON YOUTUBE:

Nnnnnnngh. There is NOTHING hotter than him being all manipulative and evil. Unfortunately, I don't think there's one for Anders-scenes anywhere. :(

Really though, watching Sylar's scenes again, I really can't blame Maya for being so ridiculously stupid. I don't think I'd be able to form any coherent thought in his presence, either.

UGH I NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT AND THEN I WILL MAKE ANDERS-ONLY CLIPS.

I SERIOUSLY, SERIOUSLY AGREE. Manipulation is just...why is it so effing SEXY? When he gathers Maya to himself and is like, stroking her hair and grinning? I CAN'T HELP IT OMG SO HOT. And I didn't realize it last night, but he uses his index finger while he's stroking her hair like he does when he's cutting people's heads off. !!!

SO TRUE. Oh god, if he came at me shirtless and wet? I'd probably just thank god I got to see it before I died lmao.

HURRAY!!!!!

OMG I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT! GAAAH! THAT MAKES IT EVEN HOTTER!
But yeah, all I could in that scene was I WANT TO BE HER EVEN IF ALL HE REALLY WANTS IS TO CUT MY HEAD OPEN! :D And god, I just LOVE how Zach can switch from the adorable innocent guy to OMGSOEVIL in an instant!
I think part of why it is so fucking hot is because manipulation takes cleverness. So, since evil boys = HOT and smart boys = HOT, evil smart guys = obviously SO HOT OMG! *sigh* I really need to find more good manipulative!sylar fic.

I have been.. er.. studying that scene somewhat intensely by now, and I am so confused by her hand. Or rather by it's lack of movement. When they kiss and the camera pans past them, her hand just lies there, without movement, on his WET NAKED BACK! I can't help but wonder how she managed to not run it up and down his body. I honestly wonder whether it was an acting direction or she just for some utterly insane reason just didn't think of it. I mean, HONESTLY! How is it even possible to have your hand there and not... let it wander a bit?

Hee, I will see what I can do :D

No pressure, sugar, but thank you! *squish*

Oooh my BFF there is a few of these i wanna do for you! :) Email me your address pretty please :D (barbg_80@hotmail.com)

*squishes you massively except not too much so as not to cause any damage*

LOL aw I learned from the best > points at you :) *giant squishes back*

And PSH. That's all I have to say to that. PSH PSH.

*loves*

http://aracale.livejournal.com/136310.html (http://aracale.livejournal.com/136310.html) My card round up :D

Done and done. :)

Okay dude, I filled out the address thing. But I'm totally grumble-y about it, because I'm one of those stubborn/weird people who aren't doing cards this year. But what the hell, if you wanna send me somethin', knock yourself out, m'dear! PS: I hope you get David Anders (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baC3c4vZZtQ) (with added Greg Grunberg!) under your tree this year!

YAY! Haha, I am so psyched that you filled it out despite yourself. :D

!!! lmao oh David. I love how all of the videos of him on there are just totally weird and crazy. :D If I do by some miracle get David AND Greg under my tree this year? I will be taking a leave of absence extending for about six months. ;)

1. Donate to a charity. One of your choosing is great
I always donote toys and clothes to Catholic Charities (because I was a foster kid under them).

2. donate books to the library / donate food to a food bank
I could do these.

7. Fic! Oh man, fic written especially for me always makes my whole year. Or Adam (Heroes) fic! (I'm on a David Anders kick, obviously.) I would kill for some fic explaining just what he's been doing all this time. Of course, Supernatural fic is always a good bet, Dean/Sam kinkiness is fun, or some good dark fic, or even some gen-ish brotherly snarking.
I could write you some gen fic for Adam or the boys.

That's really excellent, thank you so much. :)

And !!! I would love some gen Adam fic, I am really just totally greedy about anything Adam-related, so anything you came up with would be so appreciated. :)

You should fill out mine: http://meagan868.livejournal.com/43473.html

*saves your wishlist*

I honestly have no idea how I managed to miss so many of you guys' card posts, I am totally greedy and will fill out anything that invites mail. :D
