Sweet Charity

[ancastar.livejournal.com]

I freely admit this is the exact same post I made to the Safehouse.  So if you've read that one, you'll probably want to skip this one.

Hi.  I've decided to play the role of cheerleader.  Partly out of shameless self-interest and partly to bring attention to something really worthwhile.

Some of you may already be familiar with www.sweet-charity.net, which is a fan driven auction.  Creatives in various fandoms offer up things like fic, vids, icons, clothing, jewelry, etc. for auction.  Proceeds go to a worthy charity.  This time, the recipient is RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network).

Probodie is involved, offering icons (yay you!).  I'm offering a vid in a group of fandoms I enjoy and have source material for (but I will admit here and now I would love to work on a Pros piece :-) ).  Right now, there are two other vidders offering Pros vids:  Lithium Doll (who is responsible for the auction--yay her!) and Fabella (who I have to admit I'm not familiar with, but yay her too!).

Let's get more folks involved either as contributors or bidders.  It should be fun to work on.  Check out the site and see what you think.

And yay you! For offering vids. I love vids so I may have a sneaky bid myself *grins*

Oh, believe me--I plan on bidding as well as contributing. That's why I'm trying to get more Pros people involved. There isn't a single person writing Pros who has signed up. That just ain't right. *g* Come on, folks. Step up. :-)

Thats a real shame, cos I know several peeps - well, one at least - who would bid!

You are doing a great job on the comms :-))

Heck, I've been practically begging one very popular Pros writer today, assuring her that she could count on at least one bid. Of course, as word spreads, I'm not certain I could afford her. :-)

Yes, so I saw *grins* I would certainly want to bid for her Pros!!! Could be a bidding war, eh?? LOL

You didn't see the half of it--I've been badgering the poor woman via private email as well.

I have no pride. None at all.
