quillpunk's Holiday Wishlist 2026
Dec. 1st, 2025 09:28 pmquillpunkOkay! Holiday wishlist time! (Somehow, it is already that time of the year again, OTL.)
Fandom Tree gifts. Find my Fandom Tree here. I'm asking for fics, icons, art and podfic. The fandoms I've requested are f:9-1-1/9-1-1 lone star, f:abo desire, f:all for the game, f:black adam, f:collector movies, f:dc comics, f:devil wears prada, f:dune, f:even if i fall into a ghost story i st, f:eye candy, f:meet you at the blossom, f:outlast, f:strangers from hell, f:the attic. Honestly, any of my requested mediums would be so fun! :D
Comments on my fics. I write a lot of rare pairs/small fandoms, so the comments are usually pretty slim pickings. Any and all comments would be deeply appreciated! <3
Dreamwidth Points/Paid Account Time. My Paid Account expires at the end of January, and not gonna lie, I've been over budget pretty much every month this year. I love my icons (some of which are fabulous gifts that I adore) and don't want to lose access to them. So even the minimum amount of points/months would be absolutely amazing!
Bookbinding material. As you might be aware, I've been getting into bookbinding this year! (I'm actually writing this post while taking a break from working on my fanbinding of The Gold-gilt Path by khthonicEcho, which is my first fanbind that isn't a simple single-signature pamphlet.)
Problem, there is so much stuff to acquire.
I've gotten the bare basics (this is part of the reason I broke my budget so much, ngl), but things like cool endpapers, pretty paper for the exterior of the book, and of course, bookbinding cloth, are all on the wishlist. (Fair warning, as I'm very new to this, I can't attest to the quality of any of them, or that it is precisely what I need. Especially with the papers, I'm not certain the ideal thickness for the different uses. So I'm just kind of muddling ahead.)
I've been having so much fun with bookbinding. I have a whole spreadsheet of fics I wanna bind! So you can find my bookbinding material wishlist here on Throne. Material for bookbinding would be so delightful! (Throne is basically an amazon wishlist, but more private so it doesn't give away my address. I'm very Internet Stranger Danger paranoid, which is the big reason I'm not posting this to holiday_wishes.)
Books. Obviously, there's books on the wishlist. This list is also on Throne! I think if there weren't any books on it, I'd be dead. Or in a coma. I'm always going to want books 😅
There are a couple of different books on the list, but they're all gay. They're also all books that are on my 'to buy' list (which is going to take forever to make my way down, lmao), so I'm very interested in all of them. I've read all the authors before, so I'm reasonably certain I'll enjoy them :D
The other reason my budget took a nosedive this year is because, when Amazon messed with the ability to download ebooks, I made the decision to no longer buy anything on kindle. However, I read a lot of indie MM romances from authors that only publish on Amazon. (KU isn't available in my region.)
I get why they do this, but it does mean I'm forced to shell out potentially significantly more money for a paperback, as opposed to if I just got the ebook. I don't necessarily regret this, though I did also have to buy a new bookcase this year. ...That's probably not related.
Anyway! So books. I love books, I love gay books, and I have a deeply profound urge to Own All the Self-Indulgent Gay Romance Books(TM). That's probably not very realistic unless I suddenly become immortal, but one can always hope! So anything from my book wishlist would be so lovely. <333
And... I think that might be everything. Is that everything? DW Points, fandomtrees, books, bookbinding material, comments...
Oooooh, okay, I thought of one more! (It's low-key funny I almost forgot this, it's been slipping my mind so much, lmao.)
Buy/gift my book to somebody. You might be aware that I wrote and published a book this summer. It's only available as an ebook on Amazon/in KU, which is like the exact same thing I just complained about. In my defense... I didn't have the energy to publish it wide, so I just stuck it in KDP Select, and now that it's there I don't have the energy to mess with that. I'll try to put up a paperback at some point --- I've honestly just been forgetting it, lol. (Also in my defense, I've just been forgetting a lot of things this year.)
And that really is everything! I'm pretty sure, anyway. I'm gonna return to my bookbinding now. I'm trying to cut a cardboard for the cover, and oh boy, it is so hard with just a cutting knife. But I shall prevail!
Happy Holidays, everyone! <3
(no subject)
Dec. 1st, 2025 04:09 pmquillpunkwell, i defaulted on fffx. i've just been unsure about my assignment from the very beginning. like i got it and was like, oops. maybe i should have actually checked the requests in the fandom before i offered it. orz. i totally missed the whole swap thing too, my brain was just full of fog. and with the check-in, yeah. i defualted. i feel bad about it, but it is what it is. at least i did manage to turn in something for ficinabox.
also, i'm working on putting together my holiday wishlist. i still don't have the courage to post it on holiday_wishes, so i guess this is a tradition at this point. it'll be much the same as usual, but also! i'm planning to add some bookbinding stuff to my throne wishlist (it's basically just an amazon wishlist, but more private so it doesn't give away my address). i've been getting really into it: i just finished a notebook in my bookbinding workshop class (separate post coming about that at... some point. orz.) and i definitely want to keep going with this. i'm gonna bind so many fanfics, just watch me.
but alas, i've also spent like 400 bucks on bookbinding tools and such this year (tbf, like a third of that was the laser printer) and i don't think i can afford to keep throwing so much money at it. but the pretty cloth...... temptation, i tell you. so much temptation.
anyway, more proper posts about the aforementioned hopefully coming soon(ish) <3
