fandom_stocking!

[eponymous_rose]

Guys, fandom_stocking is live! This is an awesome community wherein you post a letter containing your fandoms and general fic likes/dislikes, and then your "stocking" is posted, and friends and random passersby drop fics and icons and recs and graphics and general well-wishes into the comments, which are unscreened at Christmas! It's immensely fun (and while it's based around Christmas, like Yuletide, there's no expectation for the fics/icons/whatnot to be Christmas-related, of course), and a fantastic way to make new friends and generally get feel-good vibes of awesomeness. I really, really encourage you guys to sign up - I love trying to fill as many stockings as possible. And when you do sign up, let me know so I can be all sneaky and Santa-like!

My stocking is hereabouts this year.

Oh yes!! I am so off to put mine up (and start making a list of things I'm going to fill for other people!)

Yay! I'll keep an eye out for yours. I've been stockingstalking the comm and bookmarking random people's stockings, under the deluded impression that I can write something for everybodyyyy in my fandoms who, um, don't object to gen. This plan cannot possibly fail!

Hooray! This is the first time I've done it, but I figure that since I can do icons etc. rather than having to write fic, it's all good.

Yay, icons! I love that it's not just a fic exchange - I love the recs and the icons and the graphics and the random greetings so much. ♥

This is probably my best chance at having fic written for me without having to write anything myself. Which sounds kind of awful of me, but there you go. But my stocking is hung by the chimney with care and whatnot!

YAY FANDOM_STOCKING

I went and signed up under my fandom journal. Can't wait to start writing!

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Yaay! This is going to be really fun (and will make me feel better for defaulting on Yuletide, which I think I will have to do tomorrow, eep).

Er. I'm a bit torn because I know for a fact I won't be able to give anything but good wishes this year, so I feel all greedy asking for presents when I know I can't give any. On the other hand...presents. I like presents.

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

I think you should definitely set up a stocking! Fannish karma doesn't necessarily have to be limited to this particular comm - nice things you've done all year should contribute, right? ;) Plus good wishes can mean a whole lot!

I've got a stocking this year too! (And I shall put you on my list!)

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Yay! I've got your stocking bookmarked. :D

[usuallyhats]

Yay! Have bookmarked your stocking. I really regretted not getting involved last year so I'm going to try and get going early this year.

That looks like fun. I'm tempted to ask for something specific, but is it reciprocal? (If I ask, do I need to fill someone's request in return?) This is awful of me, but I currently have no shred of creativity left... :-p
