it's wishlist time! :D

[quillpunk]

Behold, my holiday wishlist! Because I see holiday_wishes have started up again and I'm not certain I'm going to post this over there, too. I don't want to add a country tag to my post—I'm intensely private about that kind of information and that makes me extremely uncomfortable. And it seems like that's mandatory? :(

Anyway, some things I'd love, listed in no particular order <333

More time as a Paid Account or DW points that I can then use for more time: My Paid Account expires this month, and I love my icons, I don't wanna lose any one of them. And I know that the price will go up at some point in 2025 so I'd love to stock up on time before then :D

Anything from my book wishlist: I love books. Feed the beast XD

Digital gift card to Amazon.com: So I can gorge myself on ebooks. There are like 200+ books on my wishlist that I wanna get and so many of them are self-published and aren't available anywhere else and I'm like, gritting my teeth over here because KU isn't available in my country. Booooks. I want all the booooooooks.  

• I don't know how this works, I've never gotten one before. Does this require the email that's linked to my amazon account or can any email do? Anyway yeah, if you need anything from me for this, PM me <3

Comments on my fics: I write mainly in small fandoms and/or rare pairs; all comments are beloved and appreciated :DDD

Anything from my Steam wishlist: I've gone through and pruned it so all that's left is the stuff I really want. ...I am incredibly bad at video games, and don't manage to play them nearly as much as I'd like. But I do wanna play! (Maybe I should start streaming just so I'll have a set Gaming Schedule™, LOL.)

Fics: I've been doing lots of exchanges this last year and I also signed up to latetreatbonanza. You can find that sign-up here, all my requests grouped by fandom on Auto AO3 App here and my usual exchange letter here. I'll probably be signing up to fandomtrees this year, too, though that isn't finalized yet.

Icons: As I said, I love my icons. But... I would love even more icons! Any fandom/character/pairing I've written fics about on TisStrangerEerierAndPreposterousUsername is fair game. I would especially love something with text, as my icon-making skills stop at screenshots, LOL.

I've been having a really good time on Dreamwidth <3 I hope everybody has lovely, relaxing (one can hope!) and not terribly expensive (sobs in budgeting) holidays! :DDD

I'm not what one would call a gamer, either. I only have steam because of my girlfriend, but I do have Phasmophobia and Lethal Company if you're ever looking for someone to play with!

[quillpunk]

I haven't played either of those; I play mostly solo-rpgs (in which I get literally lost 75% of the time, lol) but thank you for the offer! :DDD

Not wanting to tag with your country makes sense. I actually just asked in a comment there if that's mandatory when you're not asking for physical items. I'm so private, I don't even want to risk asking for a gift card, because I don't imagine you could ask for one to be sent to a different email address than the one you'd have to use (your real name one) to redeem it. I've tried to find that out for Amazon (can't have too many Kindle books, but also I hate Amazon and don't want to give them money) and Etsy but couldn't confirm one way or the other.

I have no idea whether I'll do this holiday wishes thing. I never have before, but yeah, maybe...

the email itself that my amazon account is on doesn't have my real name in it, which is the only reason i even put that on the list (my kobo account, though, has my name...)

i also deeply dislike that so many self-pub authors only publish on amazon. i get *why*, but i just. deeply dislike that i'm forced to participate in that :(

This is the reply I got re: not listing your country...

It's always been a part of the rules to do so, but that is generally for the convenience of anyone ordering from an Amazon list, shipping something, sending a card, etc. If you really object to putting your country in there (it can usually be figured out from IP address alone if not using a VPN so it's not very private information), I guess it would be OK to leave off that tag? But as a rule people generally should because most have at least one wish where country could matter in terms of how easy it is to fulfill it.

I don't think I'll be posting a list there.

[quillpunk]

Yeah, I don't think I will either. Thank you for letting me know the answer <3
