[livejournal.com profile] help_haiti fan-tastic auction

I hope that the mods will allow this.

I would like to pimp [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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%.

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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.
