the holiday wish-list meme
So there's an LJ meme about your holiday wishlist.
The wishes can be anything from small and with no obvious monetary value to unlikely and/or extravagant. The idea is that I post mine and you post yours, and if people are inclined some of those wishes may just come true. For example, if you have a leather jacket you don’t want or a gift certificate you’re never going to use, that might just be the thing that could make someone else's holiday.
Anyway this is an entirely guilt/obligation-free/why-not sort of thing. We all get that, right? It's a bit of whimsy.
If you have already or do post one of these in the future, please comment with a link.
1. Pledges for Dogboy & Justine so we can actually make that happen.
2. Blu-ray player.
3. New to us TV (ours is from 1993). We need to get something that makes having a Blu-ray worth it.
4. A paid/published home for something related to my mourning for fictional characters project, academic or not.
5. Y'all know how much I want in on Gatsby at even the tiniest level (something a la my little role in Revolutionary Road would be a dream come true). 'Tis early days yet, but got a connection?
6. Plane ticket vouchers/miles. Seriously, we travel a lot. Anything that makes that less onerous on our wallets is good.
7. If we decide to get a new place when this lease is up, as un-onerous a process as possible. 2 bedrooms (one can be small, it's an office), Manhattan or Brooklyn, under 2K/month. Or, you know, winning the lottery and something in Soho. I'm just saying.
8. Despite my many issues about couples dancing and the modern world -- dance lessons for stuff 1900-1950, where in I actually learn to follow.
9. Final Draft
10. The thing I have no idea I want and need that I totally apparently do. In the past this has included things like socks with dinosaurs on them and dirty, dirty Ianto/Owen fic. Yeah, I'm still surprised by that second one too.

I'm without connections or money to help with any of your wishes. Unless by number 10, you would like a gender-bent, mostly politically accurate Robin Hood novel.

The premise is that Maid Marion is King Richard's illegitmate son. She has been raised as a lady in order to protect her, right down to an arranged marriage.
We hit all the usual Robin Hood tropes, and a few that don't make it into the movies.
