Christmas is coming, only just over a month away, and I've been asked for my list of 'Stuff What Mel Wants' so I decided I'd start making one, and lucky flist, you get to see it! *G* Cuz I'm bored, and that's what flists are fore *G*
Pillows.
Lots and LOTS of throw pillows for my sitting room. The plain variety that you put your own covers on. Many can be found for a good price at JYSK.

Except for:
Fic from my flist!! (that's where you all come in *G*) New fic for Christmas would be lovely! :o)

Hmmmmm Particular requests, hmmm....
Well, 'Pretty Things' sounds like a good title :oD and since it's for Christmas, I want Mal/Inara.... I'd give you something really weird and challenging, because that would be to see what you'd do, but I want the feel good (and that doesn't preclude the use of angst, btw) M/I fic for a Christmas gift :oD
*huggles you* And, I'll also give you a couple of keywords, ummmm.... 'sympathy' and 'regret'.
*HUGS* :oD

Aw! You're so sweet! *squishes you*
But I know exactly how you feel.... I'm a poor mortgage/line of credit/credit card paying home owner living-beyond-her-means-and-paying-for-it kinda girl (oy) and Christmas is going to be very light this year *wry grin* Which is why fic is such a wonderful thing! :oD

and Christmas is going to be very light this year *
*nodsnods*
Us, too! Thankfully, I have very little on my list. Even if I love presents!!! I just never know what to ask for. Maybe further help paying for my college education? Hmmmm.
But fic is the best present of all! And I get to prompt you. Yay!
Inara's been arrested. Why? Was it Mal's fault? And how will they get her out of it?

Mal/Inara (of course) keywords: fermentation and sanctuary

Of course, I'll have to reciprocate, so ask for one in return too!
