I am just getting around to the cards part, so, if you'd like one, comment here with your address, comments are screened. If I had your address, assume I've lost it, because I just might have.

If you're interested in sending me a card (I love cards!), here is my address:

Joanna Kucharska
ul. Kobierzynska 58/63
30-363 Krakow
Poland

And now, for the wishlist:

Step One

- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione 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 your LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two

- Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) 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. 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.

( yay, holidays )
Also, I've been saving your wishlists, but you can also post me the link in comments, to make sure I didn't miss any. Also, if you have someone on your flist you think deserves gifts (apart from, well, all of them, cuz flists are awesome), link their wishlist to me, maybe I can do something?

A/N: So, I was going to wait with this part until I've finished the between-Begins-and-TDK interlude, figuring it would be 5-6 thousand words... 21k into the interlude, I think not. So, here goes a part of it.

I just need to rant briefly, excuse me. It's not going to last long. Here goes.

I have two jobs, and yes, they both are afternoon and evening jobs, which means I can get up late. But I have to be hyper-aware at six pm, which is when I teach the kids groups, and so it can't be late in my day, it needs to be the middle of the day for me, so I can dance and jump and sing and enthuse about present perfect.

I study two different subjects (technically, three), have an MA in-progress and a bunch of projects I'm working on, including trying to figure out new software for editing dubbing and voice-over and subtitles and generally working with strange new things.

I am reading seven books at the moment, and all of them are for school or the MA. I am watching 32 tv series currently, and I'd like to point out that YES, tv shows were how I taught myself English, so it's not a weste of time. I am writing NaNoWriMo and averaging 2500 words a day or so. I had one free day this month, and my next free day will fall on the freakin' Christmas Eve. I have social life and I actually meet with people other than online, which had been my mother's pet complain for years now.

And I swear, if my mother calls me lazy one more time, and tells me that I basically do nothing for days, I'm going to scream.

I don't get angry often, but FUCK IT.

Normally, I lock these under the NaNo filter, but I wanted to show off, so you all get this.

25065 / 50000 words. 50% done!

I AM MADE OF AWESOME. kthxbye. :D

Summary: Fate is what we make, but some things are bound to happen. A re-write of Batman Begins, of a sort.
A/N: I have just realised that gaudy_night is writing a very similar story for NaNo. It's a further proof that we have all synced our brains in this fandom. It's also a great cause for worry, because her story is fantastic. Oh, well, I've spent a month brainstorming this one, so have it anyway. :)

I'm doing it again. After an astounding success of last year (60,049 words), I've decided to attempt NaNo again, and this time, as one long story, not a bunch of fics. I'm also trying to beat my last year wordcount, and get to 70.000. We'll see.

The story will be Bruce/Gordon, because this pairing is quite easy to write in long formats. I'm also gonna attempt to rewrite a better part of Batman Begins and quite probably the entire Dark Knight. I do have a well-outlined plot, and I hope I do well.

I will probably post the story itself in chapters throughout November and December, but I'm also creating a NaNo filter for ramblings, complaints, gloating, moaning, and all other madness that is NaNo. There will be bits and pieces of the fic on it, too. Comment if you want to be on the filter, please. Your support last year, dear flist, was immense, and I think that without you guys, I wouldn't have managed :)

Title: Five times the Leverage Crew was not in Gotham, no, really, they weren't, no.
Fandom: Batman/Leverage
Spoilers: Leverage: crew, distinctive style, that's all. Batman: not even sure which incarnation is that.
Characters: Leverage Ensemble, Bruce Wayne, vague mentions of Jim Gordon, Selina Kyle and Barbara Gordon.
Summary: does what it says on the tin.
A/N: for cala_jane and kubis, who made me do it. Well, Cala ordered it, but Kubis enforced it by the sheer power of existing.

Title: Not Nice and Probably Not Very Accurate
Fandom: Good Omens/SPN
Spoilers: To the book, to 5x06 of SPN
Characters: Aziraphale, Crowley, mention of SPN characters.
A/N: I just couldn't not write it...
Warnings: I'm easily amused. And there are footnotes. (Also, poking at the issue of consent)
Wordcount: 736.

( when you get down to it, all the apocalypses seem the same )

Using only episode names from one TV show, cleverly answer these questions. Try not to repeat an episode title. It's a lot harder than you think! Repost as "My life according to ..."

( I'm doing it twice, for CSI:NY and Star Trek TOS, because it's too fun to pass up. )

This has been a long time coming, I've been casting and recasting these characters for years, ever since I've read the novels. This is by no means the ultimate version, and I'm sure I'll be changing my mind many times over, but for now, they are my cast, my dream cast. I want this series to be made into a tv show so much, I'd give up any other tv show, no matter how beloved, if this was to happen and happen well.

Rogue Squadron - the elite flight squadron of the Rebel Alliance, founded by Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles, commanded by both of them for some time. Fought the battles of Hoth and Endor, took part in every major Star Wars Expanded Universe battle. They define badass and eat the impossible for breakfast.

Wraith Squadron - a little bit of the Dirty Dozen, the misfits and the freaks, no less awesome for that. Quite insane, very deadly, incredibly efficient. The only squadron in history to have a puppet Ewok as one of its pilots.


( If I had Rogue Squadron on my tail, I'd be running too, even in a Super Star Destroyer )

Kid 1: Do we have to do this exercise?
Noelia: Yes.
Kid 2: *conspirationally* It's okay, I've got it. Miss?
Noelia: Yes, you have to do the exercise.
Kid 2: That's okay. I just wanted to ask, in which episode of Star Trek Yoda appeared?
Noelia: WHAT?
Kid 2: Was it in the new one? The one with the different actors? I remember that small green guy, was that Yoda?
Noelia: NO. It was KEENSER. Yoda is in STAR WARS.
Kid 3: What's the difference?
Noelia: Do I have to draw you the graphs again? See, Star Wars was created by George Lucas, supposedly as a part of three trilogies, the first of which, or the second of which, premiered in 1977 with New Hope. Star Trek was created by Gene Rodenberry...
Kid 2: See, we don't have to do this exercise.
Noelia: Oh.

Kid 4: Do we really always add the 's' to the third person verb in the present simple?
Noelia: No, only on the nights of full moon in the months that have an 'r' in their name.
Kid 4: Really?
Kid 5: I think I know that one. It's that sarcasm thing.
Noelia: By George, I think she's got it. *humms The Rain in Spain Falls Mainly on the Plain*
Kids: *exchange tired looks of people who had seen Noelia dance around the classroom and are worried it's coming again*

I got into the postgrad programme I wanted. Now I will not have a single free day till August. I'm surprisingly happy about this, but it may be that I'm high on chocolate I just had.

The classes start next week, but the classes for the MA English Lit (my last year, I'm both excited and sad) start this week. My class schedule sucks and blows but that will not stop me from being excited.

Work is hectic, like every time the new school year starts, but I love the kids I have this year, they're an entertaining bunch.

I'm behind on a lot, especially flist and fics and tv, but I'll make up for it as things begin to slow down. Which may be next year.

Love you, flist <3
