Hello, I participated in this back in LJ days and then I have on and off on here. I hope to be able to fulfill some wishes for other people. I’m Sab, 47, chronically ill, mostly bedbound person who tends to gain a new!exciting! illness each year. I’m also trans genderqueer, and being trans and disabled in the UK right now is not the most fun thing. Otoh, I have a lovely supportive spouse who is also my carer, and a fantastic son, plus two cats. So yay? Yay.
Please comment or message if you need my physical address for anything. As I say, I am in the UK.
1. If people could send good thoughts, light candles, petition their gods etc to make my Dad well, that would be the best Christmas present I could get. He’s had two bleeds on the brain in the last fortnight and it’s been really scary, involving two lots of brain surgery and concerns about survival prospects. So worldwide good thoughts aimed our way would be good.
2. Because I am incredibly wishful today, I would love someone (not AI!) to write new BBC Merlin Merlin/Arthur fics which are over 20k (the longer the better, tbh: there’s nothing more exciting than a new, good, long fic that I know will keep me going at least a day). HEA a must, and no infidelity or miscarriages, but otherwise I read pretty much anything. (If you wrote me Teen Wolf Stiles/Derek or Peter/Stiles with the same criteria, I would be exceedingly happy, too.)
3. I would love Christmas decorations if anyone wanted to send me any. A lot of ours are old and tatty, apart from a few I’ve been gifted through this through the years. It’s a sort of Christmas wishlist tradition. (Please dm me for address if you don’t know it)
4. I’d love comments on my
NON-Harry Potter fics on AO3, if anyone felt like reading any of the other things I’ve written there as iamisaac. (BBC Merlin mainly, also Teen Wolf, Chalet School, Malory Towers, and many more)
5. Anything from my Amazon wish list would be great
https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1WPQ37WC4CXCI/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_26. Help and advice on setting up a trans website and meeting group for people local to me would be appreciated, bearing in mind that we have no money and I can’t get out much (there are further complications which make it sound like I’m being as difficult as possible and I’m not, life is).
7. Buy my books! They make great gifts for other people…though perhaps not people with very conservative right wing values. Either by
Penelope Friday (Petticoats and Promises, The Sisterhood - lesbian historical fiction) or
PA Friday (the Maths series: Love Plus One, One Plus One, Three’s The Charm - contemporary erotic gay ménage fiction), available at Bella/Nine Star Press (linked) or Amazon and various others.
8. Cat toys would be appreciated by the furrier members of our household, I am sure. Especially ones that stimulate them when people aren’t around to play with them as I’m sometimes not up even to cat company.
9. Assuming you do feel that way, I’d really appreciate it if you were open about your belief in trans rights, and your sympathy towards immigrants and disabled people (particularly with mental illnesses or autism/ADHD). There’s an unbelievable amount of crap being thrown at the moment and not enough regular people saying “that’s not okay” loudly when someone says something unkind.
10. Anyone want to buy me an electric wheelchair which works in the rain, can manage difficult terrain, and has a headrest?! (This is a joke request really, they’re about ten grand, but gods, I could really do with one. I can’t go out alone at the moment, ever.)
