I DVR’d and watched some more Hallmark Christmas movies since the last post; some were okay, but some were pretty good.

1. Believe in Christmas: This movie was cute, but I don’t have any interest in watching it again. I only DVR’d it because John Reardon and Megan Ory where in it. I liked the friendship between Beatrice and Emelia. I also thought it was neat that Kevin Hanchard (who plays Superintendent Joe Donovan on Hudson & Rex) was also in the movie. The ‘miscommunication’ bit is my least favorite of every Hallmark movie, especially when the miscommunication is brought on by something really stupid, but at least this one was resolved quickly. I did shake my head when Beatrice found the angel that had been missing for five years under a piece of furniture, as if the owners of a B&B haven’t vacuumed under that piece of furniture in five years. o_O

I did two loads of laundry, hand-washed dishes, ran a load in the dishwasher, went for a couple walks with Pip and the dogs, clipped Pip’s hair, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, changed kitty litter, and showered.

I finally finished a book! It’s been so long since I’ve managed this feat. It feels like quite an accomplishment. I watched a Hallmark Christmas movie. I had the Bills game on background in the afternoon and Zoo Tampa in the evening. (The Bills game was nerve-wracking as the teams alternately scored, but exciting when it became clear that the Bills were going to pull out the win, lol!)

Temps started out at 48.7(F) and dropped to 38.5 over the next few hours. During the middle of the day temps hovered around 40 while the weather itself was volatile and weird: rain, hail, snow, sun, hail again, more snow, more sun, more snow and through it all windy like crazy! Each time the snow moved in again, Pip would say, here comes another wall of snow! Temps started dropping again mid-afternoon.

Mom Update:

I don't have much. Mom sounded good today. Sister S stopped in to see her. She didn’t have any issues with eating (that she told me about). She watched some Hallmark.

"It's set in a time when things were hard for black people in America" - a line which so flabbergasted me that I don't think I ever figured out what to say.

But this one may have topped it!

"The story is about a black girl, somewhere between 8 and 16 years old, from a black family."

...I'm dying to ask why they think they need to specify that this girl is the same race as everybody else in her family, when that's usually how this works. There's no indication in the rest of the post that we might have reason to think she's not.

Hi!! I'm Agnes, I did this last year and am so very excited to fulfill some wishes again this year!! Thank you for considering gifting me things. :)

1) Amazon wishlist, because of course, LOL.

2) Fic based on my previous exchange requests! Please note the DNW, otherwise I would LOVE fanworks for any length, ship, etc; if you feel called to write something, I'd love that regardless of what it is!! :D My Ao3 username is ToothpasteCheesecake and you can view my previous requests on the ao3 app here.

Commonly requested fandoms include The Orville, Doom Patrol TV, Babylon 5, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Palia, both Charmeds, Ghost Quartet, The Sims 3.

3) Fanart of my OCs! I think this would be really cool :) any art style and any level of completion welcomed!! I just think it'd be fun. You can view my OCs on toyhou,se here!

4) Extra icon slots would be really really awesome!!

5) Icons would be awesome, from the following fandoms: The Orville (Claire, Charly, Kaylon Primary, Alara, Teleya, Topa), Doom Patrol TV (Valentina, Jane or any of her alters, The Negative Spirit, Isabel Feathers, The Sisterhood of Dada Girls), Palia (Elouisa, Caleri, Tish, Jina, Einar, Subira), Babylon 5 (Anna, Morden, Kosh, Talia)

6) Tea reccommendations! I don't really care for anything with cinnamon, but anything else is good. Links appreciated! Some of my favorite flavors to give you an idea of what I might like: jasmine, maple, cherry, vanilla, really strong black teas.

7) Flavored coffee recs! Again I don't like cinammon, but anything else is chill. FOr this one, the weirder the better! Links appreciated. I love, for example, strawberry cheesecake coffee, smores coffee, Michigan cherry, are all ones I've tried and adored, if that gives you a starting point!

8) Comments on my fanworks! I write for rarepairs/minor characters mainly in the Babylon 5, The Orville, Doom Patrol, and Yellowjackets fandoms, also sometimes Star Trek and Charmed (both).

9) Donations to a cat cafe here in my city. They've had a rough time of it lately but they do such great work.

10) Zines! If you'd like my address to mail them, please email me at alienhospitals@gmail.com with your DW username (sorry I don't wanna give it out publicly :P). I also make zines so let me know if you'd like to trade!

Thank you so much again!!

~~... has done so many things and is Going To Bed and will fill in this placeholder Tomorrow.~~

Reading. ( Descartes, Gouldercourt et al., Clifford )

Forgotten Fruits (Christopher Stocks) got auto-returned to the library for a second time while I was still, like, a third of the way into it. I am going to try to take the DNF with grace this time, but the Completionist Itch is still there...

Writing. Grumpy e-mails to HMPO. Grumpy e-mails to uk.bookshop.org (on the plus side, the book I bought from them now has a shiny wee DRM-free tag! on the downside, I can download it in neither of the browsers I've tried so far.) Mental drafting of context-setting on movement and sleep, which really need to get out of my head and onto the page.

Playing. Inkulinati! We have Completed All Three Journeys. In the second stage we achieved an absolutely bullshit strategy that made things astonishingly easy; the third stage (with SEAL) was much harder work.

Little bit more I Love Hue.

Cooking. Two things of particular note, of which the first was ridiculous parsnip risotto with thyme pesto from The Modern Vegetarian, extremely good, would very happily eat again but I'm more dubious about the prospect of cooking it again, though I will concede it would probably go faster now I know what I'm doing.

Item the second was THE MEDLAR STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING. I am not entirely convinced I can actually detect the, you know, medlar, but it is very tasty.

Elsewise I have two batches of medlar jelly on the go (first batch did not set properly, BAH, I have not made enough jam recently, so I'm going to need to redecant and reboil that before I move on to the spiced) and some ridiculous quince sorbet that needs forcing through the sieve before churning.

And I have still not touched the apples.

Eating. Saturday lunch at Holtwhites Bakery :)

Exploring. Stupid little walk on Sunday revealed unto us, among other things: a pair of cyclamen in a bit of the verge outside our house we don't normally walk past; a discarded fork; a local bush of Purple Metallic Berries; a secret holly hedge.

Growing. SEEDS arrived. Jalapeños (at least at home) turning red.

Hey y'all, I'm Jay, and I'm reusing a lot of my previous lists. Don't mind the government name on my address. I think I'm gonna have fun going through and seeing what I can gift others, but in meantime, here's a few things I'm looking for, in no particular order:

1. Comments on my work

2. Any transformative works based on my work

3. Honeycomb toffee! It's my favorite candy that I can't easily get where I'm living. Great Lakes folks may also know it as sponge candy (Stefanelli's/Romolo/Pulakos my beloved), but Wikipedia tells me honeycomb toffee is the proper name. And of course you may just know it as Crunchie or Violet Crumble!

4. Obligatory Amazon wishlist

5. Instacart gift cards, so I can get groceries. My account email is gasolinecancan@hotmail.com

6. Commission me?

7. Recs for artists I can commission! Be that you, a friend, or an artist you think is cool. Bonus points for an artist who can draw crazy anime hairstyles ;)

8. Butterflies! Inasmuch as I can keep a collection, I collect butterflies, so anything with them is welcome

9. If the spirit so moves you (if you're into hot-blooded power of friendship anime), watch G Gundam. (The link is a promo post introducing the plot to newbies.) It's an old love that's recently been reignited for me and I would love someone to talk to about it ~~especially now that fandom has gotten more queer-friendly than it was twenty years ago~~. It's been recently remastered, I believe Crunchyroll has the sub, and the dub (which is actually pretty good) is easy enough to find, including iirc on the Internet Archive - and if you find it easier to watch with someone, hit me up and I can take you through!

My address is:

linky posting in

holiday_wishes

Hello! I'm Linky and this is my third time doing thi. I'm looking forward to granting whatever wishes I can to others as well! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and don't feel obligated to do any of the ones that involve money if you can't. I wish you good things!

Kamen Rider Gotchard Icons: Any icons of the main characters from Kamen Rider Gotchard! I adore this entire cast to bits, so having more icons of them would be awesome. If you want some specific characters to help give some more direction: Hotaro, Rinne, Spanner, Minato, or Glion. I can also provide screencaps from my collection if needed.

Comments and Kudos on My Fanworks: If you enjoy any of the fandoms I’ve created for (Various Kamen Rider Series, Some Super Sentai Series, Captain Harlock, Zelda + Tons More), please feel free to look around my works on Ao3 and leave some kudos/feedback if you enjoyed something I made. It’s mostly fic on there but I have some art posted there too: linkily

If you are 18+ and into tokusatsu, or know anyone else who is, I would love to see more prompts and fills being made over at the kinkmeme I run here on DW: tokukinkmeme. Even just spreading the word of the kinkmeme in general is greatly appreciated!

Music Recs: I’m always looking for more relaxing music to listen to while I draw.

Podfics of my Fanfiction: If you do podfics, I'd love to see some of any of my fanfiction! You can view my permissions for podfic in more detail right here.

Fanworks for Abunai Deka: I've recently gotten obsessed with this obscure (well obscure in the west anyways) Japanese police procedural from the 80's. I'd love art, icons, fic, of Taka/Yuji. I'd just would love to see more for this show that I've become so obsessed with!

DW Extra Icon Slots: Extra icon slots for my journal would be wonderful.

Paid DW Premium Time: If you feel so inclined, more premium time for my journal would be lovely.

Thank you so much for your time, and I hope that the rest of the year will show kindness to you!

1. Dreamwidth paid time. This is mainly for more icon slots.

2. Kudos and comments on my fics. All of my fics are gen Yu-Gi-Oh! fics. No concrit please.

3. Anything for Yu-Gi-Oh!. I have a prompt list here but you can also do things that aren't on it. It's more to give an idea of what I'm looking for.

4. Anything for Nancy Drew (video games only). Same thing as with the above wish.

5. Dreamwidth friends. My profile tags probably give a better idea of what I'm going to be posting about than my intro post.

6. Recommendations for digital zines. I'm mostly interested in tech ones, but any topic is fine.

7. Recommendations for artists that take commissions for both OCs & fanart.

8. Recipes. I'll try pretty much anything.

9. Drama show recommendations. I have Netflix and access to all of the free ones like Tubi.

AO3 Link | Both of Them? (100 words) by Merfilly
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Wars Original Trilogy
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Lando Calrissian, Han Solo [Star Wars Universe]
Additional Tags: Implied Relationships, Drabble
Summary:

Lando is very amused

"Did ya really have to go and hit on him too?"

Lando stared at Han a moment before he started laughing, joined by Chewbacca in the mirth.

"Of course you went for both, you sly dog," Lando finally said to defuse Han's fuming. "Pretty certain they're both the kind to decide their way for themselves."

"Yeah but… you always have all the right words!"

Han flinched as Lando moved, then an arm was slung around his shoulders. "Han, old buddy, you have your own charm. Just keep doing what you do for Leia."

"Backing off on Luke?"

"Not a chance."

[1] Friends on Bluesky (kivrin) or on Finch (LWQMXDV9J5), which I just got but am really liking.

[2] Art of my ttrpg OCs. I've asked for this every year since I started playing (ie. since I got on bupropion) and had someone draw one for me the first year, then decide I'd asked for too much and fully abandon the project (and bar me from using the existing artwork). I'm still not sure how much of that was my fault, but I'd love a do-over, especially if you're an artist who is willing to tell me exactly how much is "too much" to ask for, and let me backtrack if I've actually gone overboard.

[3] Stickers for my planner! I've been decorating my planner every week all year and it helps so much. Since stickers can just go in a standard envelope, I would assume you can send them from anywhere without incurring custom fees as long as it's not something that's declared on the envelope. I like floral stuff and sort of stylized things, with a white or transparent background if possible. These are some examples of what I mean .

[4] Hire me? I would love some editing work, particularly anything related to TTRPG writing -- modules, homebrew, etc. I have a couple of offers on my Ko-Fi, but I truly don't even know where to start. I would also be thrilled to design printables for spell cards, condition cards, item cards, character sheets, etc. for a low price -- I keep meaning to design them and sell them, but I have a really hard time getting myself to do it without specifics or someone waiting on them.

In the same vein, I've been meaning to try making a dice bag; if anyone wants to sort of pre-buy one, that would be amazing.

[5] Anything from my Amazon.es wishlist, or

[6] gift cards to Amazon.es, the PlayStation store, or UberEats. I haven't had takeout since my birthday last year.

And I will specify two things from the wishlist:

[7] A planner for next year. I have a day view and a week view on there because I can't choose one, not because I want both, and I'm willing to let a stranger pick between them for me.

[8] This is partly a pipe dream, partly a request for contributions so I can perhaps buy it myself on Black Friday. I am dying for a PS5. I want to play the games my friends are playing, and they insist on not releasing them for PS4, and it sucks. I have a little bit of money set aside for this, but not enough to buy it without feeling incredibly guilty about it. So if you're willing to contribute anything from 5 bucks to the whole thing, my Paypal is battlesinthemorning@gmail.com (or you can send money through paypal.me) and I can share my Wise account details as well in private messages.

[9] A year subscription on the lowest tier to DNDBeyond. I am currently juggling three accounts with six characters each and it is a mess. It works though, so this isn't super high priority.

I'm happy to answer any questions, and also to give out my address via PM for either stickers or if you want to buy me something off not-Amazon (eg. Kokonote has its own website).

Thank you so much for reading, and happy holidays!

Happy holidays everyone. Another year, another holiday wishes. I do enjoy this group each year. I feel like it represents the best out of everyone.

Now about my list this year. I know things are well... they are very rough all around right now. So with that in mind for my list I'm focusing on mostly free things. And nothing that needs to be shipped.

The list will be short because of that. But that's more then fine with me.

In any case, the list.

1. Fanart for any of my fan fics. I'm really leaning into Monkey Wrench fics right now but any of my fics with art based off them would be great. Link to my ao3 https://archiveofourown.org/users/wonderminterplus

2. Fan fic , again feeling Monkey Wrench the most. And love Shrike/Beebs as a sweet ship. Fic based off any of my fics at ao3 would be adored.

3. The one money involved wish. Please donate to your local food kitchen.

4. Comment on more fic or art. Not just mine, but anyone whose works you love. Trust me, a nice comment makes a artist or writers day.

5. Do something nice for someone. Doesn't have to be big. Like, holding open the door for someone fulfills this. You would be surprised how much tiny things like that can help someone sometimes.

6. Watch some indie projects. If you are a animation fan, may I suggest a few shows such as "Monkey Wrench", "Ruff Ruff Danger Dogs" or "Knights of Guinevere. Please let me know what you think if you watch.

7. You have any ocs? I'd love to hear about them. I love ocs.

And that's it this year. Thank you all in advance. This event in general is just so sweet and needed in days like this.

Now to go look around at lists to see if I can make someones day.

I hit Price Chopper and the bakery while I was downtown. I did a load of laundry, hand-washed dishes, made egg salad, went for several walks with Pip and the dogs, baked chicken for the dogs’ meals, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, and scooped kitty litter.

For funsies, I watched Matlock, Mistletoe Mysteries, and some HGTV programs. Dr. Pol was once again my background tv later in the evening.

Temps started out at 32.5 when we got up, but had reached 24.8(F) before I left the house. (Temps dropped over 7 degrees in an hour and a half!) Just watching the temp drop made me cold. It eventually reached 44.8 that I saw before going down to visit mom, but Pip said it hit 50. Rain came in late afternoon, it got really heavy (Pip said there was an inch in the rain gauge, but given how hard it was coming down I thought there’d be more) and there was thunder and lightning, which we didn’t expect.

There was one blast of thunder that must’ve been right above us because it was so loud it sent Midnight, who’d been sleeping in his bed under a blanket, shooting out of there like a bullet. He stood on the bed (his bed is on our bed during the day) looking all confused and wary, like, wtf was that?!! It was followed by the brightest bolt of lightning, which lit up the bedroom through the drawn shades. Thankfully it moved away after that.

Mom Update:

Mom looked good today, which was nice. ( more back here )

Hello from a second-time participant! Here are my wishes. If you have any questions for me, don't hesitate to PM me.

Wish 01. Comments and kudos on my stories

I write fanfiction focusing on rarepairs and minor characters in the Pokémon fandom, with some other very small fandoms and original work sprinkled throughout.. I'd be thrilled to receive comments on anything that catches your eye. You can find my works under the AO3 username Audrelite. 99% of my stuff is 1k words or less so it's nice and short, but I do have some shorter one-shots as well. (I'm not a longfic writer.) No concrit, please, and I'd appreciate if you didn't mention that you're coming from this event or that you're fandom-blind.

Wish 02. Gift fics based on my exchange requests

I'd love to receive gift fics for any of my exchange requests, except for Original Work (including Object and Concept Anthropomorphism). Since my likes and DNWs, both general and NSFW, continually change over time, please consult the Optional Details of the latest exchange I've signed up for. My AutoAO3 App page, listing all of my requests, can be found here, and some giftbox-style events not hosted on AO3 I've signed up for can be found here.

Fandoms I frequently request include Pokémon, Beyblade Burst, and the Teen Titans animated series; others I'd really love gifts for include The Ice Guy and his Cool Female Colleague, Metal Fight Beyblade, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, the Seven Deadly Sins anime, Toonami, and many others. Please see the links above for specific info.

Wish 03. An EPUB file of any book off my Kindle list

Find my e-book wish list here.

Wish 04. E-Giftcards

Amazon, Spotify, Google Play

Wish 05. Someone who's read the Black Dynasty series by Marilena Barbagallo so I can gush about it

I've been utterly obsessed with this dark romance series for most of this year, and I've been very lonely since I can't really talk about it with any of my friends. Guess this is what you get when you love 1) dark romance and 2) Italian books—"niche" is an understatement to the nth degree.

Wish 06. Pipe Dream Wish: New iPad Mini

To keep my fanfic writing alive! (The fact that this iPhone X I've been using for my writing and creative endeavors has lasted me over 8 years astounds me to no end.)

Thanks very much for checking out my list, and happy holidays!
