Are we posting our wishlists here this year?

I really hope we are; I LOVE doing People's wishlists.

What exactly is a wishlist related to videos? I don't really understand it.

We don't post our actual wishlists in the video section.

Usually ever year (Ever since Wishlists were started) we'd post links to our wishlists here; that way you can see who's done a wishlist and whether or not you'd like to grant a wish on their list.

Basically you post a video; usually around 10 minutes to a minute and a half; post the rules; and your 10 wishes. You CAN post things you can actually receive; but make sure you know the person well enough to give them your address or P.O box.

For example someone's wish can be 'graphics for their favorite pair/video' or a video to their favorite song/pair. Some people do mix songs, fanfics, ficlets, things like that. Some people ask for cards/postcards.

The Rules
Step One
#Make a video like this one. The video description should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love an icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
# If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.
# Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in the video description so that the holiday joy will spread.
#Post your Wishlist Project video as a video response to this one so everyone can find the videos in one place.

Step Two
# Surf around Youtube to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:
# If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. You don't need to claim that you're doing something for someone-if they get more than one of something they wanted, fantastic! Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

I guess I inadvertently started the Wishlist thread.

Here's mine.

Awesome. Thank you

I don't actually. I have random scenes of her and Castle.

Cool! I'll upload them sometimes this week for you! If I don't send them by Friday send me a PM and remind me!

Thank you so much. Nikki.

Because vidding Sawyer/Beckett is SO much fun. I want to continue it.

I was just thinking about the wishlists the other day. I've never participated in the wishlists before because I didn't really understand how it worked. But I think this year I might try to make a vid of my own, and hopefully I'll also be able to grant someone elses wish.

I'm shocked there's not that many wishlists this year.

I haven't made one because I don't have time to fulfil any wishes at the moment :\ Maybe later...
