Coffee said I should post it..even though it's way way late!!!!!

I said that before. i made a list on what to give everyone, but I won#t ever get it done in time for xmas..maybe not even before enxt year, goes diploma has to go first and it#s only fanart and lj time and fic covers...

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.

For your info..the wish lists of people in my flist are in my memories..so if you have the same people on your flist....

- For you to comment on several images in smallvillefanart.com

- For you to submit your fanart to smallvillefanart.com. I know there are tons of fanartists on my flist who haven't and that would make me insanely happy. and it would make the site more alive.

- Clex Schmooop. It doesn't matter if it's fic or art or whatever. If it's fic...with kissing..loads of it. and cuddling. maybe a just getting together... first time...lala land.

- To join in my community

12months. I know it's getting old.

- To participate more in

artists_guild.

- Feedback people even if you are lazy.

- Harry Potter fic recs. Yeah, you guys really got to me.

- Fanart of any kind. Experiment!!

- Materials you think can be well made into art. (scans of cardboard, wallpaper, odd things--this would be like the ebst thing for my diploma)

- To manage my diploma well

And this is more things I pine for and will get myself.

as promised, a harry/draco rec [or three] for you:

my favorite fic is frances potter's resolution (http://www.schnoogle.com/authorLinks/Frances_Potter/Resolution/). it starts with a chance encounter between harry and draco on new year's eve during their final year at hogwarts, and goes from there. it's a wonderful fic, sometimes angsty, sometimes sappy, but always so intense that you cannot stop reading. it's also very long--270,000 words.

another fic i recently enjoyed is plumeria's draco in darkness (). draco is blinded in a quidditch accident, and even though he insists on managing everything by himself at first, he can't quite turn down harry's help and company. it's a fic made up of small, quiet moments, with lovely writing, too.

my favorite current wip [soon to be finished] is

novembersnow's tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow (http://www.livejournal.com/users/novembersnow/68276.html). it's a futurefic, set during the war. draco wakes up at st. mungo's and has no recollection of who he is. the story is told from multiple povs, so we get draco's, harry's, ginny's [who works as a healer at st. mungo's] and a few others. the writing is amazing. i wish i could write like that. so few words, so much feeling. gah.

and finally, i very humbly rec my longest h/d fic, seven days (http://www.livejournal.com/users/coffeejunkii/188633.html). summary: Stranded on a container ship, Harry and Draco find themselves on a journey between two continents, between a war-torn present and an uncertain future. When everything is lost, Harry clings to his love and Draco clings to his secrets.

enjoy :)

*giggles*

wow..those all sound interesting :/ I can't wait to read them to catch a break. *smooch*

I just commented on several more images on SVart a couple of days ago! Whee, go me!! And I'll do more.

And I've just joined 12months, even before reading this, and pimped it too.

I've just discovered some lovely little Harry/Draco fics by Tarowen - I hope you enjoy them as much as me:
http://home.earthlink.net/~tarowen/Otherfanfiction.htm

Also, I've not read the stories on this site, just skimmed the start of one, but they look promising (also all H/D)
http://www.angelfire.com/tv2/firebird_ascending/fics/hpdm.html

YAY!! you're like..the most active SVART supporter :) *squeee*

and you pimped and joined? OMG SQUUEEEEE I need more rules.right? I definately need to write a small tut.

and thank you for those recs!!!

YAY!! you're like..the most active SVART supporter :) *squeee*

Hee! I left a few more comments.

And a tutorial for 12months would be great - I haven't had time to attempt anything this month, but it would be handy to have some more help for a first attempt.

*squeeeeeee*

and I will write it!

i'll be checking out those fics as well. i'm always looking for new h/d to read :)

thanks!

I was just going to copy and paste them into a comment for you! They're ones I just found recently, so I thought you might not know them.

see, i saved you a bit of work! i don't know any of these stories, haven't even heard of them, so yay.

you should write some more h/d yourself...

you should write some more h/d yourself...

I have some on the go... They'll get finished, eventually!

And I must read your story that you've linked above.

excellent! i can't wait to read them.

if you do read my fic, i'd love to hear what you think. also, if i have horribly mangled british english somewhere in there, please let me know :).

Oh I love tarowen! First discovered her through PSA - she needs to write more IMO. And I need to check out Coffee's fic as well - woohoo new h/d to read!! (not so crazy about the other author you linked to though)

Have you read The Unfortunate Truth of Happily Ever After? Magnificant. That and

zionsstarfish have both made me weep lately.

not so crazy about the other author you linked to though

Me neither! I tried one of her stories last night, and... Hmm. Oh dear!!!

But Tarowen's stories are great. And I'll take a look at the ones you've mentioned, though I think I'll just have to bookmark everything for now.

Here's another one to bookmark:

Eee. So good.

And I haven't forgotten about uploading the Doves CD - I just have about a million things to do before I leave for the hols, so it will happen um sometime ok? (Besides that, did you know that my laptop might be melting? I spilled juice on it stupid thing - so far ok but might have to take it apart. I've been moving everything off just in case)

Thanks - I've bookmarked that as suggested (would read it now, but am way too engrossed in a major project or two!)

No worries about the Doves CD - whenever it's convenient is fine.

Oh, sounds dodgy. Hope it survives. Mine actually has a crack in the casing that crunches when I hold it, but it seems to be working fine...

I have almost 70 HP fic recs in my Memories, all pairings but mostly H/D. Merry Christmas!

70?? wow!!!! *g* I'll have loads to do once I finish this bugger.
huggles and merry christmas to you too.

eps of Zoe, Duncan Jack and Jane

I have PAL videos of those. Don't think I have all the eps and I think they might be all over the place order wise, but I have them and I can dub if you want'em. All you have to do is pay for postage... I can't afford that right now.

That's like...video casettes?? I need to asksome friends if they have a pal recorder. and I cannot afford it either..but after christmas, that might look different.

That's like...video casettes??

Yeah, for VCRs. Man, you're too high tech or something?? LOL!

m,m..I'm gonna bug you after the diploma... *grins*

As long as you give me some time in hunting down the tapes...

I have zoe duncan jack and jane, too. complete second season. thanks to

dingogrrl and I could copy them to video. unless you don't have a vcr...

*
ponders*' might bug you after diploma...

Mkay!
