Wishlist 2010

THE RULES
Step One
1. Make a post (public, friends 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.
2. 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.
3. Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two
1. Surf around your friendslist (or friends friends, or just random journals, or [info]holiday_wishes/[info]wish_list) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:
2. 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.

Wishlist
Fannish Section - fic

• A sequel to Donna Maria Theresa del Fuego Sagrado de Christo y Santiago and her Capitan Protestant-son-of-a-whore (a Temeraire/Sharpe crossover)
• The BSG AU where, when Kara jumps them using the coordinates from that song at the end of the last episode, they wind up back in time in the colonies just before the Cylon attack.
• The Stargate Goes Public story that focuses on the reactions of the US military peeps who weren't in on the program. Navy guys complaining about the Air Force having starships. Special forces guys pointing out that having four-person teams is really stupid; six is a much more tactically flexible number, and if they hadn't given the Stargate to the Chair Force maybe they'd have had fewer screwups like that. JAG lawyers trying to figure out how to fit the de facto decisions made by the SGC over the years because they face situations nobody's ever thought of before into the UCMJ. Marines being ooo-rah. Etc.
• Babylon 5. The one about the Centauri princeling in The Lost Tales that Sheridan takes home to Minbar to keep him from turning into the monster Galen says he will.
• Star Trek Reboot. Away team beams down, locals don't like Spock because of his brother, and Spock's all, I don't have a brother, but what's Sybok done? And it turns out that he had forced a telepathic marriage bond on one of the women in town and raped her during his Pon Farr, and now she's pregnant, and Spock has to deal with figuring out how to help her and track down his brother to bring him to justice (which traditionally would be putting him to death, but so many Vulcans have died already, but on the other hand Vulcan doesn't have the resources to deal with a prisoner and most other Federation worlds don't have prisons designed to hold such powerful telepaths as Sybok). Also, Spock has to deal with his friends and crewmates now that part of the story about Pon Farr has come out in the worst possible way.

Fannish Section - vids

• "She's Always A Woman to Me" by Billy Joel, Osiris (SG-1).  Preferably from the point-of-view of the Jaffa around her.  (Or, you know, you could include other Goa'ulds with female hosts.)  She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes/she can ruin your faith with her casual lies/And she only reveals what she wants you to see/She hides like a child but she's always a woman to me
• "Girl in the War" by Josh Ritter, Sharon (Boomer) Valerii.  Because the keys to the kingdom got lost inside the kingdom/And the angels fly around in there, but we can't see them/I got a girl in the war, Paul, I know that they can hear me yell/If they can't find a way to help her they can go to Hell.
• "The Logical Song" by Supertramp.  Spock, any incarnation (though it would probably work best if you used everything, Reboot, TOS, possibly even the movies and the cartoon to get the widest set of clips about Spock's life).  Why has this vid not been made yet?  But then they sent me away, to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical/And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical/There are times when all the world's asleep/The questions run too deep for such a simple man/Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned/I know it sounds absurd, but please tell me who I am
• "We Can Work It Out" by the Beattles, the SGC-Tok'ra-Jaffa interactions.  Try to see it my way/Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?/ While you see it your way/Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone/We can work it out/We can work it out.
• "The Simple Joys of Maidenhood" from Camelot, Six (BSG)  Shall I not be on a pedestal/Worshipped and competed for?/Not be carried off, or better still/Cause a little war?
