Christmastime wishlist

ndnickersonThe Details:
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 an 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 so that the holiday joy will spread.
Surf around your friends list to see who has posted their list. 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.

1. Fanart - Nancy and Ned snuggling together in bed, not in a porntastic sort of way.
2. Impossible - Nancy Drew 7, Clue in the Diary, first printing (blank endpapers), with DJ if possible. (That's my current collecting obsession.)
3. Fanfic - that fills in the blanks between Prayers for Rain and Moonlight Mile by Dennis Lehane. Or just a link to some great Patrick/Angie fic. Gone Baby Gone moviefic would work too.
4. Icon - Nancy Drew wearing a Santa hat. I don't think a real image of this exists so it'd have to be a manip.
5. Highly illegal fanfic - in which Sword of Truth bookverse Richard and Kahlan have tons of hot married sex. (AM I GOING TO HAVE TO WRITE THIS, FOR PETE'S SAKE, I KNOW IT'SILLEGAL FROWNED UPON BUT DAMN) Second place: Legend of the Seeker-verse Richard and Kahlan have tons of post-finale hot married sex.
6. Fanfic - set in the Nancy Drew Files universe; Ned proposes to Nancy in some unexpected way, since he's already taken the usual route in Files 24. Or, even better, Nancy proposes to Ned.
7. A cookbook by Paula Deen, Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa), or Alton Brown.
8. Fanfic - L&O:CI, Goren and Eames. Hanging out, going out on a date, making out, playing married on a case, any or all of the above.
9. Fanfic - Dark City, John/Emma (Anna), post-movie.
10. Fanfic - Chuck, Chuck/Sarah. AU from the end of S2/beginning of S3: After Chuck uploads the Intersect 2.0, the CIA takes him underground, and Sarah and Casey have to get him back.
