it's that time of year / whentheworldfallsinlove ev'ry song you hear / seems to say

[themeletor]

so, some may remember from last year the CHRISTMAS ICON REQUEST THINGEE!

I do. it was fun. i'mma do it again, k.

so here's the deal:

open to: everyone. don't even have to be on my flist. but, you know, it'd be nice if I knew you from somewhere or another.
starting: now! asap! let's get this show on the road!
ending: I'll probably stop taking requests a few days before Christmas. that way I can get all the icons out before the Big Day.
here's what you do:
reply here. give me a character, person, critter, image, idea, WHATNOT (if I don't think I can do it with what you've given me I'll tell you); and a Christmas carol/Christmassy song. you don't have to actually -give- me the song, just the title, but I'd be HAPPY to be given mp3s... my Christmas music is so not much now that I'm away from house, WI and also not in the BA Christmas Concert. it's sad. (songs I really really miss are listed at the bottom of the post)
here's what I do:
make the icon. post it... somewhere; find you and direct you to it. it is then yours. you are not obliged to share it.

ON THAT NOTE, LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT THE ICON PERSONALIZED (your name, nickname, or username on it) OR NOT. or if there's other, non-Christmas-song-text you want, instead of (or in addition to) the Christmas song text. I'll probably say ok, especially if I like you, but I reserve the right to say no, nope, nuh-uh, and/or no fucking way.

please request; it was a blast; I'd like to do it again

examples from last year are here. they belong to jenlan, captain_molly, drbillbongo, kingsleygirl, silverjet747, daughtermestizo, and elizile. therefore look but don't touch.

ASK AWAY! and fandom, any person, any thingee, whatever. let's do it!

<3s,
Mel

The First Noël (http://s50.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1BDEO1X1Z2O4L06OYH2EFIYQB2). Do you want Adeste Fideles in the Latin or would the English suffice? Cos for the Latin I have to go digging... I can get it to you by Mondayish if you'd really like it.

Hmmm... the Joker. Preferably TAS or Gotham Knights Joker, but any will do. >:D

Well, fucking Hell, I reread your post and realised you were going to put the text on and it wasn't about just exchanging icons & music. I feel like an IDIOT right now. Ummmm... I don't know what sort of Christmas lyrics I want on it. But I like Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, and Carol of the Bells, God Rest You Merry Gentlemen, and The Holly and The Ivy all quite a lot. You pick. *headdesk*

and also GAH all this making me remember carols I miss and miss and miss and have performed and that slipped my mind... *whimper* *whimper, whimper*

Sorry it took so long to reply, but LJ's being a whore. Thank you so much. ♥ will be uploading soon.

YAY THANK YOU! if I nag some family person into ripping out Christmas performance CD, I'll have it in Latin and that'll be cool. English would be much awesome.

and. shall do, keeping your other comment in mind *g*

Btw, I have excerpts from Handel's Messiah and have been meaning to upload that anyway so expect it as a sort of Christmas present from me to you. It'll be up... well, before the 25th. We'll leave it at that ;D
