My List of Wishes

Do I really need to explain the meme that started this? I do? OK, you can find it here, along with a bunch of memoried wish lists from around fandom.



My List
  1. Anything from my list of bunnies or involving my bullet-proof kinks.

  2. Anything from my Amazon wish list.

  3. A gift of graphics - a custom LJ layout, for example, or an icon, anything along those lines - from someone more visually talented than I am. Which is everyone. I especially wish for graphics things that aren't built around actors or faces. Some things I like that might make good graphics fodder: wombats, dogs, and fish. Astronomy, molecules, and fractals. Sex, smut, and erotica. Old prints, maps, and illustrated manuscripts. Books, words, and grammar. Shades of gray, earth tones, and dark, murky colors.

  4. A donation to Labmed, to help rescued Labrador Retrievers get medical care so they can be adopted. You can make it in your name, in mine ("thefourthvine" is find), or - and this is what I would like best - on behalf of any dog you've loved, Lab or otherwise.

  5. A donation to the Malibu Public Library or any other public library, specifically for the materials budget. This year especially, libraries are in desperate need of money for books, magazines, DVDs, and other materials, and MPL is no exception; MPL is in a wealthy area, but the library itself isn't wealthy. Even small donations translate into books that will be read many times, by all kinds of people.

  6. An extension of my LJ paid user time or pictures.

  7. Slash for the book I, Robot (Powell/Donovan), the movie The Sting (Hooker/Gondorff), the comic book Planetary (Elijah Snow/The Drummer), or the Nero Wolfe series (Panzer/Goodwin). Yes, I hope to be getting one of those for Yuletide, but these are my dream rare fandoms, so I thought I'd mention them again. Know of any stories that already exist for those pairings? Please, please tell me.

  8. Socks. Because I love socks. I have two drawers full, and yet I covet more socks. I have a sock fixation.

  9. Queen-sized sheets and standard pillowcases that are really, really soft. This may actually be an impossible wish - I never seem to be able to find sheets that are truly soft and inviting and comfy - but the whole point of this list is that dreams can come true, right? And I often dream of perfect sheets, so I'm putting it here.

  10. A package sent to me in the mail. It could contain strange local items, mutant (meatless, because I have Meat Issues) foods, a random collection of crap you found around your house, a bunch of CDs you burned for me, stuff from your favorite fandom, wind-up penises and pornographic stationery, whatever. I just like opening packages. A lot.


If you want my address, comment or email me (deepbluesea at postmark dot net). I'll be putting it in a friends-locked post later, but I'm way behind in my friending, so lots of people won't be able to see it there.

Oh, and the list of bunnies and kinks? Is a post that LJ apparently ate, so it will be re-posted soon. It's back-dated, but I'll put a link here.

Oh. Your dogs are gorgeous. And you could not possibly babble about them more than I babble about mine, and I'm always interested in other people's dogs, so you can't bore me.

And I've been following Heim's illness in your LJ, although I missed the post with the specific symptoms (if there was one). You have my sympathy; our Greyhound had a mystery illness last month that - well, let's just say he saw the vet on Saturday, and Monday morning when I called to get the test results the vet told me they were so bad he expected to hear that we'd had to have him put to sleep on Sunday. That was like a kick in the gut, and only the fact that he'd made a miraculous recovery (and I do mean miraculous - he's now got a picture on the vet's miracle wall) made it tolerable to hear. Anyway, I know the horror of the mystery illness. Even after they're better, you can't stop wondering what it was, if it will strike again, if there's something you should be doing to prevent it.

My sympathies on that, and my congratulations to Heim for pulling through.

And *love* for all your pooches. They're a lovely bunch!

never got the notice of this comment. [beats up LJ]

e-mail to fox @ empiredc.com or agent.reynard @ gmail.com

OTP, just FYI, the link to your wish list reveals your sekrit RL identity at the top of the page. Something to consider. I did a special fannish version of my wishlist for sharing.

I need your address, so I can send you something - before we leave for India if I can, after I return if I don't get my act together in time.

Address, please? Send to damon at panavatar dot net.

Oh, also: Does your DVD device play DVD+Rs? And if so, would you be adverse to receiving movies that were copies?

I have actually found some incredibly soft sheets at Target, of all places. They're 100% cotton and a high thread count. I bought them a few years ago, but I would think they'd still have 'em--the brand name is Martex.

Sorry I took so long replying to this; life has been a bit hectic lately.

Yes, all that helps a lot. Fandom or thematic soundtracks I can *definitely* do--I already have the theme in mind that I want to make for you. *eg* Email me your address? cleamajor @ yahoo.com

Also, what about TV episodes? I only have one show that I could burn you a few cds of, but it's a show that I've just discovered (a few years behind everyone else, of course) and am thus trying to pimp like mad. *g*

If you'd e-mail your addy to lawnmowerelf@yahoo.com I'd like to send you something. Probably a mix CD, and maybe something else wacky. *eg*

[identity profile] penknife.livejournal.com 2004-12-10 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
Have these shown up yet? If not, I may need to go kick the post office.

Sorry to sound nosy, but....

[identity profile] nova-mist.livejournal.com 2005-08-15 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'm really sorry if this sounds horrbily nosy, but did you ever find any Henry Gondorff/Johnny Hooker fic? Or was any ever sent your way?

I'd greatly appreciate it if you could send it my way if you find any.

Did nigeltde send u any links, for example?

Thanks so much, and sorry if I do sound nosy. I'm beyond desperate to see some "The Sting" fic is all. God knows that there has to be SOME out there!

Regards,
Nova Mist

Oh, you're not nosy - and I'm thrilled to hear that there is someone else on this earth searching for Sting FF - but you are doomed to disappointment, as far as I can tell.

In other words: nope. The Sting has reached the #2 spot on my "Dammit, there should be fic for this" list.

Sorry; know that I suffer with you. And if you find anything, please, please, tell me about it. With concerted effort and great luck - and a lot of people requesting it in Yuletide - we may yet track the wiley Stingfic to its lair.

Hi again! I don't know if you remember me, but we spoke a while back about the horrible absence of Sting!fic on the web.

Well, this might sound like shameless self-promotion (lol, and it kind of is, I guess), but I've actually submitted a Sting-fic to Yuletide's 2005 New Years' Resolutions (and I think you're actually one of the recipients - u or someone with the same name XD). Anyway...you can find the fic at my LJ (http://www.livejournal.com/users/nova_mist/3521.html), or of course, on the Yuletide site, here (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/15/toolong.html).

Lol, I hope you like it. I'm not even sure if I like it. But oh well...feedback (of any kind) would be greatly appreciated, please? :D

Thanks!

Proof of the fact I have -far- too much time on my hands in Christmas break - not only have I read back this far, but I have, in fact, made you an icon. Of a wombat. So. Happy (two-years-later) Christmas ^_^

Eee! Thank you so much!

*loves wombat icon*

(And, yeah, I get the too much time thing. I mean, okay, I have things I am supposed to be doing, but - somehow I am glued to this computer watching the Yuletide countdown. *is pathetic*)
