Hello my dwircle! Long time no see, I know. There are occasions when I see people that I feel bad because I simply do not have time to keep up with everyone in my life as closely as I would like (I have lost friends over this; I'm actually okay with it), and I get a twinge of that every time I come back to DW for the holiday season. But here I am, and while I spend most of my year on tumblr (because I am actually a strange little gremlin) and discord (because that's where my wife and bestest buddies are), I am always nostalgic for the things I love about DW - the amazing discussions and connection that tumblr (and even discord) are not really built for.
That said, if I kept in touch with everyone everywhere I would have time for nothing else and still wouldn't be able to keep up with everyone. There is a limited amount of time in the day after all.
So anyway, I am here! And I bring news of fun fannish holiday activities that are pretty much no pressure! I love things where I can browse people's wishes and just... grant some, if I have time/interest/energy/money. That's truly my favorite thing. I also put up posts because why not, it's not like I don't also like to get presents (and espectially for fannish things, I love to post prompts and ideas that might spark something for people).
The first is![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fandomtrees, where you can put up a fannish (and non-fannish) non-monetary wishlist. This is fannish things you'd like to receive, plus things like recipes or stories or transformative works statements (hint hint!). Here's my tree for an example if you want to see. I trawl the tags for fandoms or media I want to give (I try to give everyone who requests a podfic one, if I can). It's a great time, and I love to fill requests for this, it's always such a delight. :D
The second isholiday_wishes which is similar, in that you can ask for fannish stuff if you want (the list is limited to ten wishes of any type). I don't have an example on that one as I haven't posted one yet, but I probably will at some point in the next week.
Anyway, hallo! Good to be home!
