Greetings /lit/, time for a WISH-LIST THREAD!
Starting tomorrow I am going a week without Cell Phone, Computer, or TV. Looking forward to being disconnected from the world for awhile. Going to be getting a lot of reading done, and probably going to be getting back to my writing. The point is, before I un-plug, I'm feeling rather generous. So, it's time for some wish-listing!

If you too are feeling generous, here's my list...

You dont start a wish list thread begging for free shit. Thats not how they work, the proper procedure is a particularly rich e/lit/ist or one who just happenes to haave a stolen credit card will start a thread offering people things, and THEN you beg for free shit.

Normally Id bash you for abusing the wishlist system in place but I really like your pic so im going to let it slide. Just dont let it happen again.

This will be a +100 post thread of people just begging for shit and no one buying anything. But people will keep posting lists on the off chance that someone might buy them Twilight.

PROTIP: No ones going to buy you free things because you beg for them on the internet. Thats not how wishlist threads work.
