Holiday season is upon us so I have come home for the holidays

[kate]

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 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 is holiday_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!

Great to see you back! I'm really looking forward to fandomtrees and have already skimmed some trees. We'll see if the muse is kind to me when it comes to fic, but I can at least do some icons. XD

It's great to be back! I have also skimmed trees (including yours) and have a number of gifts in the works! I'm excited, this is always the best part of the holidays for me!

[sunshine304]

Absolutely! I'll have to make a little list with trees I might be able to make gifts for, that worked quite well in the last few years. :D

I've also found a fic snippet I'd started last year that i might be able to turn into something, who knows. XD

Thanks for the reminder of those!

You're welcome! They're always one of the best parts of my holiday season! :D

Hello hello! 🙂 Happy holiday season to you, and thank you for that holiday_wishes link! Hadn't seen that before, will definitely see if I can make some wishes come true. <3

[kate]

Hiiiiii! Happy holiday season to you too! You're welcome - I absolutely adore that one, I get so many lovely presents every time I do it, and it is always amazing to be able to grant some!

I've waited months to have the perfect icon
