Fic for the Aussies

[marguerite_26]

Bidding is closed! Thank you to everyone who participated!

femmequixotic has offered seven 5000 word fics to anyone that donates 50AUD to any legitimate non-profit currently collecting funds to be used for Australian bushfire relief.

I seriously hope to become one of those seven this morning! Anyway... I think this is a fabulous idea. And while purchasing one of my fics isn't quite as tempting as femme's, I'd like to make a similar offer.

I'm only offering one, and I have no idea what to 'price' it at. So...

I will write one 5k fic to the highest bidder in the next 24 hours.

On February 12, 8:40 EST, I will ask the highest bidder to submit that amount to any legitimate non-profit charity currently collecting funds to be used for Australian bushfire relief and email me the reciept.

Then we can discuss the request. I estimate a month's writing time.

Bidding to start at $15AUD.

eta: Check out australia_aid for more incentives!!!

eta2: New donations only, please.

Now I KNOW I'll get outbid and fast but I'll open it up at $20

Woot! Thank you so much, Bryoney! You are fabulous.

Especially after you already bought be for hpequality!!!

Yes well, look how brilliant closure was! Totally worth the price of admission! :)

$50

$60. My boss's father was in the fires, so I was planning to donate already, but getting a fic from you is a HUGE incentive.

I'm putting together a comm for everyone doing something like this, to try to get things in a central location. Feel free to put the word out about australia_aid. :)

awesome! I had my fingers crossed that someone would get us organized. :D

$75.00.

GO you! You totally outbid me. *grin*

[winnett.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I already donated $50 (I think Australian and not US). Does that mean I can still bid, or am I out because I already did it? Just wondering! I love your writing... I think it would be quite the treat to have you write me a story.

But then again, if this gets people to donate who haven't already, then I guess I am definitely out of the bidding, and that's okay. The more donations the better.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Well I would take that bid, but piratesmile's beat it. :D

I'm honoured that you would bid. Thank you.

[winnett.livejournal.com]

I saw I was already outbid by others! Go you for bringing in the donations.

You are an AWESOME author... Anyone would love a fic written by you. *nods*

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

*squishes you*

Thanks winnett.

Is it unfair to bid with a donation you've already made?

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Well, I was going allow winnett to use a combo of a previous donation and a new one. But I'm second thinking that. I'm doing this to encourage new donations, so I had better stick to allowing only new donations to bid.

I'll change my post to clear.

I'm thrilled to hear you donated though! *hugs*

[thisgirl-is.livejournal.com]

Man, I totally failed to think that through. I should have held off a day or so. This is why I'll never be a real Slytherin. *shakes head sadly*

I'm from NZ, and the whole thing just strikes a little closer to home than for most Brits, I think. Plus, fandom being what it is, people I internet-know* are directly involved.

*Where you may have never had a direct conversation with someone, but have seen them around, read their stories, seen their art. You don't know them, but you recognise them, if you see what I mean.

$80 because I am a greedy whore. lol

And of course your fic is worth way more. <33

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Thank you so so much.

I'm all yours! :D

so.... what would you like? 5k of as many kinks as I can manage? *g*

[snarkyscorp.livejournal.com]

OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

I don't even know I am so excited!!! *wriggles*

I will think on this and let you know, 'cause I have some ideas of course. Do you want to see a receipt of some sort? Between you, sweets, and push, I am going to be so broke. But I am so glad you offered this.
