help_japan fandom auction
Mar. 13th, 2011 01:01 pmNews about Japan keeps rolling in and is sounding no less worrisome than yesterday: not only is a nuclear facility threatened but apparently an entire village as well as several trains are still off the radar? *gulps* The sheer scale of this simply defies anyone's imagination. Sending much love and good thoughts to everyone living near the stricken area and/or having family members or friends who live there!
I just discovered that a fandom auction is going to be hosted over at![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
help_japan (Dreamwidth) and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
help_japan (Livejournal). The Dreamwidth site also encourages donations for the March 10 earthquake in Yingjiang, Yunnan, China; the Livejournal site seems to be focusing on donations to Japan only. Bidding on both sites opens on March 14; the DW site is already open for offers, the LJ site will put up its offering posts on Monday.
I'll definitely be offering up fic for auction, and will be posting my offer on the LJ site after they've opened. As usual, this involves some fretting about what exactly to offer. It's not that I'm not willing to step outside my comfort zone for a good cause, but if someone is going to be paying good money for a fic, I don't want to risk not being able to deliver what they requested. So I'll probably be keeping my actual offering post pretty restrictive in terms of fandoms and characters, just to be on the safe side.
However, if any of you flistees would be considering to place a bid, I'd be happy to dicuss any requests over here - no obligations, of course! But I do trust you guys to know by now what I'm comfortable writing, or at least to be aware of what you'd be signing up for, so I'd definitely be less gun-shy about stepping out of that comfort zone. I'll write any character I've written before, and might be able to write other characters and/or fandoms depending on the details. Gen is usually a safer bet with me than slash or het, but again, it depends on the characters. If I don't feel I can do a certain fandom or character justice I'll tell you in all honesty, but feel free to ask. I'd also be game for doing some kind of exchange, if you'd like; say, I write something you request, you write something I request, and I'll match whatever bid you make.
