I saw this Christmas Wishlist Meme posted on Merkotoz's journal, and I thought it was a great idea. So I decided to do the deed of posting this on my journal too. Kudos, Merkotoz! I personally enjoy giving more than receiving as well.

>~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<

THE BASICS: Write a Christmas/Holiday wish list. It can be any 10 wishes you'd like to have granted, no matter what they are. Possible or seemingly impossible. People look and grant the wishes if they can. It's not about "OMG PRESENTS", it's about making someone else's holiday a little brighter by giving.

STEP ONE

** Make a post in your journal. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fun ("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 possible things, 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. In this case, you can always just note someone on dA.

** Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your journal, so that others can join in and participate to spread the holiday joy!


STEP TWO

** Surf around your friend list 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.

My Christmas Wishlist

1) To celebrate the birth of Christ!

2) Happiness for my family and friends. Especially for those who are going through hardships of any and all kinds; may they find their way out of the dark times and live in the light of happiness. God bless!

3) Gift art. Either drawings of my original characters or drawings of my OCs with other OCs (via crossover) is fine. No matter how "good" or "bad" the artwork looks, either one puts a smile on my face (as long as it isn't of anything inappropriate).

4) To spend some quality time with my friends. Maybe we can eat out at a restaurant/buffet together!

5) My own personal photo album. I want to take photos of my loved ones. Maybe even one group photo of me with my friends to put in a nice frame too.

6) An art collaboration with my friends. One collaborative drawing of either character versions of ourselves or one of each of our OCs gathered together, like in a group photo. (Another resort could be to use individual drawings and combine them together via Photoshop or something.)

7) Something rat-related (like a calendar, plush, book, etc.), if not a pet rat or two to raise--preferably male.

8) To learn how to dance or perform some hip-hop dance moves.

9) To make something tasty for my loved ones to enjoy, like homemade brownies.

10) To know what my friends want for Christmas and hopefully be able to do something for them.

A.L.I.A.S. Time Shift

A scientist by the name of Victor Lagoras discovered an unusual glass-like shard containing the power to, when touched by blood, create life--or rather, a supposed replica or alternate version of the donor.

Enter Kirux, a street smart but flirtatious teenager residing within the streets of Mapletown who has an affinity for the moon and attractive girls.

A.L.I.A.S. ReMiX

Meanwhile, the street-surviving Kirux had taken up a job in the secret spy service along with Rabi, who guides him and sends him on secret missions. However, during one mission, he comes across two newcomers: the strong-willed Neo (Miracle Rebirth) and the magical Taiki (Portal of Fate). Brought together by the mysterious Dai Kurogama, the trio teams up for whatever missions come their way.

A.L.I.A.S. Solaris

Just when his life couldn't become any stranger from his involvement with Kirux, he becomes the target of a stalker vampiress named Phi. But is she really after his blood or something more...?

Perhaps someday I will have a website about them.
