holiday list
Step 1
☆彡 Make a post (public, f-locked, 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.
☆彡 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.
☆彡 Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ so that the holiday joy will spread.
Step 2
☆ 彡 Surf around your friends list (or friends' friends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:
☆彡 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.
☆彡 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.
☆彡 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) Unlikely things out of the way I would love some GX manga. Not in English though (I have 1-5 and I love them to death but that's all that is out so far, that I know of) but in Japanese, (or French, I might have a chance of understanding that) preferably from volume 6 onwards. Or translations of said chapters (39 onwads) would also be very awesome. I would love that person forever! XD
2) Alright. What I would love even more though is an icon of Johan trying to convince me in some way too get off my lazy ass and do some actual work. (Or some other way of saying that. I'm not fussed.) A screen shot or something would be awesome but I wouldn't say no to fanart. ^^
3) A Johan fic would be cool, I'm quite fond of gen fics but I am generally easy to please.
4) Rebecca also doesn't get enough nearly enough love and neither does Amane actually. Or Rei. (Or Kenzan) So fics about any of them would be lovely. ^_^
5) I would also love to expand my anime/manga horizons so if anyone has any suggestions...
6) Good song recs or links would also be much appreciated. I love rock and genres like that but I also find it very hard to hate a song (there are some exceptions, like Boom Boom Pow by the Black Eyed Peas for example.)
As Aphotic said, anyone with a list feel free to pimp it and I'll see what I can do. ^^ Spread the love people.

Is late in replying becasue she fails and the internet has had a disagreement with her.
Date: 2010-12-12 02:06 pm (UTC)Oh yes, I will have to look into some of them too. And I'm pretty open to anything really. New is good.
No worries ^^
Date: 2010-12-13 11:54 am (UTC)I might dish out a mega update before Christmas or New Year's orzAll right then, here are some...
Aria (manga) - This is one of the best slice-of-life manga I've read. Plus it has very stellar and accurate art. It's the story of Akari, a young girl who goes to Mars, which has been renamed Aqua and has been turned into a livable place. She goes to Neo-Venezia, a city in the spirit of Venice in Earth where the walkways are water canals. It's a life story about how she aims to be a good undine or a boat rower. Genres are mainly humor and fantasy.
Fate/Stay Night (anime) - This one is about action. If you'd like epic fighting without too much cliche shounen action, this is good to watch. However, it has a very deep story behind that summary you will often see~
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha (anime)- EPIC mahou shoujo fighting cannot get anymore epic than this. Also has a heart-rending plotline that borders on shoujo-ai, if you're into that.
Code Geass (anime) - A show with one of the most intricate plots ever. Can't watch this without your head undergoing a philosophy and morality spin :P
