LAST DAY TO BID!!!
It's coming down to the wire here, at the Author Auction, ladies and gents! I don't know how many of you have been
watching the bidding, but it's a bit of a madhouse over there—of the absolute best kind!
I've got to say, though, the Gilmore Girls and Doctor Who fans are kicking the Rosfans' collective butts where it comes to bidding. Still, so far we've raised a bit more than $3,200 for Support Stacie, which is AWESOME.
It really is exciting—not to mention completely overwhelming—to see authors (and one fantastic artist!) and fans come together in support of such a great cause, and the fantastic thing is that a lot of authors (including me) have special offers that are going along with bidding and/or winning their fic. I've seen many authors offer signed and printed copies of their fics, bonus drabbles for anyone who knocks the bidding up by $5 or $10, one offer to write a
full-fledged novel (

) and several awesome authors who are offering to match the donation of their highest bidder.
Me, I'm offering CRAFTS. (Because I'm a dork... who likes to knit.

)
The winner of my
Harry Potter 2500 word fic will also be winning a hand-knit
Harry Potter book scarf in House colors of their choice—but Gioia is determined on that, so watch yourself.
And what will be going to the winner of my
5000 word Roswell fic? Well, I can't very well ship you Jason or Brendan or Colin or Nick (no matter
what vegas312 would have you believe!

) but I CAN send you
your very own alien!
And there are still a TON of fics that either haven't been bid on of where the bidding is very low, so don't think that bidding now will break your bank account. Or of course if you want to skip all the craziness, and just donate to Support Stacie, that's always okay, too!
I just have to say that this is really fandom at its very best, though. I'm ecstatic to be a part of something so wonderful, and to be surrounded by such awesome people from so many fandoms. You make me proud to be a fan girl, ladies and gents!
