Channeling the darkside of the Force...

CHRISTMAS WISHES!

taken from


Step 1.

Make a post in your dA journal. 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.

Step 2.

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:

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.

Step 3.

The list:

This is really hard to do, I was never good at making a list of wants.
Some of these might not be possible for others to get, but it's what I'm shooting for for myself.


1. Acquire more art to include in my special edition book to print for charity.

2. Sell many copies of my special edition book to help support victims of domestic violence.

3. A trip to AZ to see some very important people.

4. A Happy New Year

5. A new computer to help create more

6. a small photography studio

7. My debt paid off

8. An affordable apartment

9. A new car

10. My friends home from the front safe and sound.



Onto some more news. The standard edition(non-illustrated) book has gone to proof. I was hoping to have had it in my hot little hands before I updated, but some people have been asking what is going on. If it turned out right, all I need to do is get my ISBN and it will be ready for sale. I'm a bit torn at the moment as to what to do though. I have made great progress on my Special Edition (illustrated) version but it is a bit of a ways off from finished. I would like to release them at the same time, but I also want to make what is done available to everyone. Kind of a catch 22 I suppose. I'm sure I'll make a decision when the time comes.

Thanks to everyone for your support! Hope the holidays are magical for you!!! Merry Christmas!!
