Firstly: Is fandom_stocking happening this year? Anyone know?

Secondly, I spotted this over with cereta:

Step One:
Make a post. It can be public or friends only, whatever you're most comfortable with. The post should contain your list of ten holiday wishes, and these wishes can be anything - from simple (fan fiction written about your favorite pairing), to medium (a DVD you want), to really extravagant (a brand new laptop or car).

Just make sure these are wishes for things you really truly want.

Step Two:
Skim through your friends list and see who has posted their own wish lists. Then - and this is the most important part - if you find a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make sure that person’s wish comes true.

Sometimes a person's trash is another person’s treasure. If you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you’re never going to use, give it to someone who wants it.

Step Three:
Post this wish list any time after November 1st. Then repost it two weeks before Christmas.

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 fairy - 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. 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.

( wishlist: pretty simple, mostly fannish )

Don't forget to post your own wishlists, and I'll see what I can do...

I'm selling my BPAL collection, massively discounted.

I was into collecting them about 5-6 years ago, and then drifted out around 2011 when I lost my job. Never really went back into it.

There are some lovely scents in there, but I'm never going to use them all anyway, and apart from smelling up my workroom, there's not much point to them.

I couldn't be bothered haggling prices, so I just set everything at $15 for a 100% 5mL bottle. Given that about 10 bottles have just walked out in the sales post, I probably should have set it at $20. Eh. Whatever.

Mind you, I'm kind of dreading the point where I have to explain to an American (it's always an American) why I'm charging them $14 for postage, that, no, this isn't a scam (unless it's Australia Post's scam), that yes, they do have to pay that much postage for the bottles they're buying, and no, I won't give them a discount.
