am deeply pleased

my fandomgiftbox is up!

since it doesn't look like fandom_stocking is running again, in_a_peartree said they're not, and fandomgiftbox is a summer event: fandomtrees is stepping into the gap

lookit my in_a_peartree

this is different from fandom_stocking in that they don't screen gift comments—gift posting is from Dec 24 to Jan 6 instead—but like

fandomgiftbox was supposed to open today, but will hopefully open on Sunday, because many giftboxes are still short of gifts.

me: let me go poke needy giftbox sheet again just in case I missed something I can write
me: oh hey I can write that one!
me: —oh wait that sounds familiar
giftbox: yep you wrote this back in June

My fandom_stocking is finally up!

(If you want to send physical items, email me for my address, alexseanchai at gmail. Fannish requests are part of fandom_stocking.)

(I will be delighted by charitable contributions to charities doing good work, or volunteer labor to same, but this year I'm not wishing for those things as gifts to me. Do them as gifts to you. Do them as gifts to the people who benefit from the charity's work. Do them as resistance to oppression. Gods know we need a lot of that last.)
