help_haiti fan-tastic auction

[netlagd.livejournal.com]

I hope that the mods will allow this.

I would like to pimp help_haiti. This community is raising money to help the relief efforts in Haiti by auctioning off fanfic, graphics, vids, art, audio, other and more stuff.

In particular, there are some writers who had stopped writing for the QAF fandom who are willing to come back and write QAF fanfic, and/or finish unfinished works. So if you have been pining for something in particular, I urge you to peruse the posts at help_haiti.

It's a sweet deal, you get then last chapter for that abandoned WIP and money is raised for a good cause.

Note: the auctions are not exclusive to QAF related items.

ETA: the mods of the help_haiti community have put together master lists by fandom to make things easier for folks:
http://community.livejournal.com/help_haiti/5173.html

However, people who offer "any" are not in the listings - so you may find some in the comments here - folks we know are QAF people (or at least they use our icons! ;^)

ETA 2: More folks are adding to help_haiti every day. Look in the comments to see who's up to what, and what has been added.

Normally, no. But given the premise of the comm, and the spirit of fandoms giving back, I'm behind this 100%.

[netfics.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, you are so good.

I couldn't believe that rhianonhero was willing to write QAF fanfic again - 5k words of it, swoon and sigh! I'm still going through all that is being offered, it's so cool!

[teatotaller.livejournal.com]

Can we track which QAF authors are in there? I found netlagd's offering but the other post had dozens of pages. I'm very interested in looking through them.

[netlagd.livejournal.com]

I went through the listing searching for QAF or Queer as Folk and found the following. I also found several familiar qaf fandom folks who didn't specifically state QAF, but said "any" fandom. So I urge you to peruse everything - look for familiar names or icons with QAF folks.

Here's what I found:

I bopped over to add my name to the list but I'm already on here [is surprised].

I'm so impressed with the way all these fandoms are coming together to really help. I haven't been active in fandoms for a long time and this is reminding me what one of the best aspects of it always was.

[kika-k.livejournal.com]

Maybe you can help me to understand how this works because I'm not familiar with this kind of auction and for a question of language...I'm not american/english/ect and reading the post in the comm does not help me.
- You make a bid (a offer) for a fics/icon/ect but only to the org listed in this comm?
- If you win the auction how you prove the payment?

Usually every year I make an offer to 'Doctors without Borders' and at this moment in some public collections here in Italy.

I will be grateful for the answer.

[teatotaller.livejournal.com]

Hi! I believe that the way it works is that the winning bidder at the end of the auction makes a new donation in the winning amount to a charity to help Haiti (Doctors Without Borders would be a great one). Then you email the person the receipt that you've received from the organization as proof of your payment and they provide you with your item.

I hope this helps!

[kika-k.livejournal.com]

Yes. Thank you!

Uhm I'd write QAF as well, I just doubted anyone would want me to, but if there's someone, then you go here lumcheng click (http://community.livejournal.com/help_haiti/1823.html?thread=534303#t534303).

[violette7.livejournal.com]

I offered a fic as well.

[positive-pat.livejournal.com]

I am actually going to offer a fic too but I am also going to offer I think some QAF, SLS and SAVE ME THINGS TOO. I am going around this weekend rounding them all up. I am going to talk to Fay too about donating something from FFG.

Hugs
Pat

[girloftheburbs.livejournal.com]

This is a wonderful cause with lovely, lovely gifts up for auction. Thank you for the heads up! *rushes over*

[xjust-a-girlxx.livejournal.com]

This is very lovely! thank you for sharing the information. I think this will help out with so much, and actually encourage people to participate in donating, especially people who wouldn't really do it in the first place. It's good to see so many people involved though!

Help haiti

[galeandrandy.livejournal.com]

I've also added offerings.

For 3 videos here:
http://community.livejournal.com/help_haiti/822.html?thread=4240694#t4240694

And 12 icons here:
http://community.livejournal.com/help_haiti/1225.html?thread=4247241#t4247241

Could someone explain where I offer a fic that can not be completed by the first date set there of February 14th? I'm having trouble understanding where that is.

Thanks.

Re: Help haiti

[teatotaller.livejournal.com]

I've looked through (almost) all the listings and saw many where it explicitly stated later completion dates in the post (after finals, before June, etc.). I would simply be clear in your listing about the delivery date.

Re: Help haiti

[galeandrandy.livejournal.com]

Okay, thank you so much.

Re: Help haiti

[netlagd.livejournal.com]

I put that I would complete mine by April.

I don't think you need to complete it by Feb 14.

I believe that there will be a second auction with an end date of feb 14th

Post in the 3rd fic post (the first 2 are full)

Re: Help haiti

[galeandrandy.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for the info and direction. I really appreciate it!


For reference: Here is my fiction offering.
