llyrafantasyfae 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. Models, I need models. Have a costume you just want to capture, an idea you want to create, lets collaborate. I really want to stretch my creative muscles this year. Even if its just plotting for future collaborations, like at COCO this year lets do..... I would like to have creative ideas to look forward to.
2. Give me some ideas to stretch my photo abilities. Hey Amy there is this really cool technique and tutorial on how to do it. Try it out on me/ your cat. Hey Amy I think you could really express this idea..... Don't be offended if I can't get to it right away. My camera is on the down hill slide. 6 month goal before COCO is to get a new camera.
3. Costumed events. I'm working! Which means money, which means I can go places now. Where's all the places I can go? Preferably 6 months or so out so I can work it into a new employee schedule and pay off a few bills first.
4. A sew and bitch session in January. IRL would be awesome but even a skyped in one would be nice. I'm lonely and need costuming inspiration.
5. I adore Christmas cards. Since my military days and mail call, mail makes me stupid happy. Even a card that just says "hi", it makes my day.

6.Nursing things. Bonus points for vintage or historical
7. Polariod films. I have some creative projects that require lots and lots of it. I have been telling EVERYONE who asks what I want for Christmas that I want film. regular, monochrome, colored backgrounds. ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the film. Link takes to options but it just needs to be fujifilm, Mini, intanx
8. Here's my Etsy wishlist. I don't actually expect anything off of there but I figure it doesn't hurt.
9. If anyone knows a source of cut steel buckles/clasps that aren't to expensive, please share!
10. Do you make any hand made x-mas decoration? I love ornaments, especially ones that have meaning or are handmade.
