Holiday greetings to all!
I've been participating here off and on over the years. Happily, I've found the time and energy to join once again this year, and looking forward to the festivities. Here's my list, with a mix of free and cost items.
1. Dreamwidth points would be much appreciated, as my paid account is about to expire and I also have a yen for more icon slots.
2. Give something back to your community by helping someone in need this season, however you are able, whether it be with your time or financially.
3. As usual, comments/kudos are always a wonderful gift. I'm into a lot of older fandoms and a couple of newer ones, so feel free to check out my stuff at
AO3. I also cross-post post my more recent fic to my
Dreamwidth journal, and
SquidgeWorld, although I'm not caught at on the latter yet. I love interaction on all my fic no matter how old it is, so don't worry if the fic is a decade old (or older), I will be thrilled.
4. Give a gift to yourself (doesn't have to be something that costs money). It's been a tough year for a lot of us, on a global level. Treat yourself, you deserve it! I'd love to hear about it, too, if you want to share.
5. My
Amazon Wishlist. Just updated it. I've recently had a large, unexpected expense to deal with, so it's more difficult to pick up the little things I'd planned to that make my life a bit brighter, such as earbuds for listening to music. If you want to buy from a different source, DM me and I'll provide my address. Also note, I think the clothing sizes change to a default when added to the list, so see the notes for correct sizing.
6. Advice/tips on how to make better quality screencaps (if possible). I just have a basic computer set-up, with the Snipping Tool. I was wondering what, if anything, makes a difference. I tend to only snip the area of the frame I want rather than the whole frame. Should I make them all the same size in editing? I tend to just freestyle everything on my whims.
7. Copies of (computer docs or hard copies), or links to
Miami Vice fanfic featuring the Sonny/Rico ship. I'm so in love with these two right now, and back when it was a current fandom, everything was Crockett/Castillo, so there was a dearth of Crockett/Tubbs fic, even then. I never could find more than a couple. Nowadays it's a more popular ship, but it's such a small fandom that there isn't much fanfic, period. You can DM me if you have any photocopies you'd be willing to send, and I will provide my address.
8. With the previous wish in mind, I would be thrilled with some new Sony/Rico fic to read if you'd like to gift me with one. I'm almost through with the meager offerings at AO3.
9. Give Miami Vice (1984) a watch. It's currently streaming free on the Universal Action channel on Pluto (or anyplace that has the UA channel) with a daily marathon from around 12:30 to 7:30 ish (exact time varies slightly). I recently posted a "Pimp my Fandom" post at
Smallfandomfest, if you want to see what the attraction is. There may be more to the show than you think/remember.
