Christmas gift exchange and Christmas fic offers; election, wank and Obama dildo

[misscam]

There is always something weird when friends show up on fandom_wank. I don't even watch Idol (American or Norwegian, thank you very much) so I'm just blinking my eyes at everything. This much ado about toothbrushs is much funnier.

And now for something that might horrify/amuse/kill/enrage (as spotted on my flist), Head O State, the Obama dildo. Yes.

Speaking of which, Iftheworldcouldvote in the American election, it wouldn't even be a competition, really. Of the funneh, this electoral map of the US. And it's over soon, thank the atoms. I've never been so ready for an election to be over ever, and it's not even in my country.

Meanwhile, November draws nearer and so does my Christmas planning. I've decided this year to set the gift exchange at ten people and thus - first to say 'yay want gift', first on the list and filling up from there. All who wants cards will get one. I'll do a post for addresses and Amazon gift lists and whatever later. For now, just taking interest.

Since I can't send gifts to all (ack postage) the other offer is for me to make a fic present for those who want that. It'll have to be either Doctor Who (new school mostly) or Battlestar Galactica and possibly CSI, I'm afraid;, and I tend to be a bit stuck on my pairings though I can do gen. Make three requests and I will try to fulfill one within reason and post through December and probably into January.

Now my guild is off to say hi to Illidan. Wheee.

I sent you email because LJ is being wonky. I'm always up for Norwegian Christmas in exchange for Texas Christmas. :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Done and done.

Your Texas gifts are always a hoot, anyway ;)

[denorios.livejournal.com]

I already have a Christmas card sign-up post up on my LJ, so *pushes* sign up!

And you know, as far as gifts go, I'd far rather have a fic from you than anything else, since you're one of my favourite writers!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes :P

For the fic, make three requests then, and I'll see what I can do :)

[denorios.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, BSG, BSG, and BSG. Can you tell I'm obsessed? ;)

Adama, Starbuck - something sappy and father/daughter-esque, because I'm a soft touch for those two and there's so little fic about that aspect of their relationship

Failing that, Adama/Roslin - something to do with a birthday - or Adama and Apollo, concerning Starbuck.

I'm no good with prompts or requests!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

A little :P

Vague ideas do stir - hmmhmmm. I will see what comes.

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

Yay for gifts? :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

That makes you number two...

[rivrea.livejournal.com]

Guess I won't be unemployed any time soon, so, yes, gift exchange, please!

[rivrea.livejournal.com]

Also? That Obama dildo isn't scaring me nearly half as much as the Scorpion-scaped vibrator my good friend ayumie recently showed me. 'Cause nothing says earth-shaking orgasm as poisonous arachnoids in your nether regions.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Done and done.

[marcasite.livejournal.com]

Wanna exchange gifts?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Sure :)

[siraj.livejournal.com]

yay, want gift :3

I'm moving probably next month, but I'll do my damndest to at least make you goodies or something... cookies, brownies... something!

Or fic, if you'd like that instead.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Make sure you give me an address to reach you on when the time comes, then. Gift exchange it is.

[siraj.livejournal.com]

I'll tag you after I'm all moved. I'll probably be moving around Thanksgiving or so here in the States, if not sooner.

Want Donna gets her memories back fic! Want want want that! Will make me a very happy camper! Plz 2B riting Donna gets her memories back fic for me for Xmas? Thanking you!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Er, I haven't tried writing Donna and I'm not entirely sure she'll come easily to me. I can try a bit, but no guarantees on that one I'm afraid.

[greyladybast.livejournal.com]

Just the attempt is worth it! Thanks.

Though, any sort of Doctor-alone fic would be nice, too. I'm just a bit burned out on Rose and Martha at the moment. I like them both, but....well, too much is too much, y'know?

Or, y'know what would be good? The story of what the Doctor and Martha were doing when Sally Sparrow gave him her file, in Blink. I'm less burned out on Martha than Rose, and that would make a good fill-in-the-blanks fic.

[blue-moon-ice.livejournal.com]

I think i did my counting right, but I have been known to fail math. So if the gift exchange is still open, I would love to. Otherwise, cards would be fine.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Your math doesn't fail, so yeah, gift for you.

[blue-moon-ice.livejournal.com]

Man, I almost hoped I was wrong, just so I could reply with a picture of a failboat. Woohoo gift exchange

[trialia]

Bugger. :( I was away at London Expo... only just got back. Would be interested, though.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

There's still room, if you want.

[trialia]

Absolutely. If fic is the question... five times someone walked in on Roslin and Adama, with five different people, and maybe a little resolution after *G* I've wanted someone to write that for ages, so I'd love it.

Also, I'll be putting up an address post for card-sending soon too :) I can't afford to do the material-present thing much this year, so they'll be virtual, but there will be actual cards :)

[mademoisellenon.livejournal.com]

Would be lovely to do a gift exchange, but a Christmas card trade is lovely all the same :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

There's still room, if you want.

[mademoisellenon.livejournal.com]

D'you know what, let's do just cards this year :)

Cool?

(Not doing gifts w/ anyone, though would like to. But yeah, economy is shit and... you get the picture.)

So yes, cards :)

[souleswanderer.livejournal.com]

Not sure how full your list is, but gift exchange would be fun, unless I'm too far down the list then I'll be thrilled with a card! Loved the one last year :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

There's a spot for you, if you want.

[souleswanderer.livejournal.com]

I want!!!

Let me know what you'd enjoy from the great Northwest along with some of my homemade goodies :)

[colorstoobright.livejournal.com]

I've never been so ready for an election to be over ever, and it's not even in my country.
I agree. It's getting to the point where it's nasty and winning and not about, you know, actually making a change for America.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm cynical and tend to think whoever wins, it'll still be the same interests that have far too much influence. Oh well.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Write me fic for Christmas! I'll be your best friend?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

What, I need to write fic to get there? I'm hurt, hurt I am.

Erm, I can try to stick some Kara/Lee into a fic at some point, is that satisfying? You know I can't write them just them...

[adoraheatherly.livejournal.com]

Twice in one year! Should I be impressed with myself? heh

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I am impressed ;) Happens to the best of us anyway, that's teh nature of fandom.

[mazarin221b.livejournal.com]

I did my civic duty to put you out of your misery and voted early. In Indiana. You may know that voting Democratic in Indiana in the US is generally a useless throwaway, but this year may be different. Here's hoping.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Hope your vote counts, then!

[maureenlycaon.livejournal.com]

I'd like a gift, if it's still open and it's not too inconvenient. Just surprise me -- I always like your gifts. :)

[freckles-knows.livejournal.com]

I'd like to get a card. And I'll see if I can find an... ahem... nice Arizona Christmas one for you. They all tend to have saguaro cactus on them covered in Christmas lights though... So that might be what you get.
