2023 SCHEDULE/RULES

[personal profile] wish_upon_a_meme is a relaxed December gifting event modeled on prompt memes and the dearly departed LJ comm [livejournal.com profile] insmallpackages. Here you can request not just fanworks for your fandoms, but book and music recs, holiday greetings, personal anecdotes, pics of people's flowers/cats/holiday decor… whatever you can think of that could go in a comment, you can request here!

SCHEDULE:
  • Dec 1 to Dec 31: Requests may be posted. Please do not post requests after this date.
  • Dec 1 to Jan 14: Fills may be posted.


HOW IT WORKS:
  • Post your requests ANONYMOUSLY in the comments to this post. You can do that by posting while logged out or by hitting the "more options" button in the reply window.
  • Requests can be for: fic, art, other fanworks, fic recs, recs for books/movies/music, meta, recipes, holiday greetings, personal anecdotes or photos, or whatever you can think of that someone could fill or link to in a comment.
  • We ask that you make between 1-10 requests. Since requests are made anonymously, this is on the honor system.
  • Find people’s requests to fill! You can fill requests anonymously or logged in. Fills may be posted here, or they may be posted elsewhere and linked in your comment. Fills must be publicly accessible, ie not on a locked journal, a tumblr that requires logging in to view, etc.
  • More than one person can fill the same request.
  • Please say thank you when someone fills one of your requests! You can reply anonymously or logged in. You may want to bookmark your requests so you can check later, or if you have a paid DW account you can use the tracking feature to get notifications.
  • This account is paid through January, so logged-in DW users can search comments in it. If someone would like to make a spreadsheet to keep track of requests, please let us know, and we'll add a link to this post!

Thank you! I really love the sound of that tuna & broccoli one, I'm definitely going to give it a try tomorrow! Also, I hadn't thought about making rice in advance before; I think that'll help a lot with cutting down cooking time.

There are contradictory guidelines for how long it's safe to keep rice in the fridge, but I'll confess I started doing this with leftover takeout rice that was often... quite old, and never had cause to regret it. I would say at least 4-5 days would be fine anyway, and since you can get a lot of variety this way, eating it 4-5 days in a row is never a trial for me!

The key is that as cooked rice sits in the fridge (if your fridge keeps the humidity down like it should) it will start to dry back out even if you have it sealed, but adding a few tablespoons of sauce/broth/water to the bowl before microwaving it with a cover steams it right back up, and I actually like the texture better that way than on the first day. The steam also cooks the vegetables really nicely if you're using fresh/frozen veg and keeps the meat from drying out.
