Fic for the Aussies

Bidding is closed! Thank you to everyone who participated!

[livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] australia_aid for more incentives!!!

eta2: New donations only, please.

$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 [profile] australia_aid. :)

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.

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

$80 because I am a greedy whore. lol

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