As some of you may already be aware, there's a special auction that's been put together for Fandom Gives back in honor of LASMKE/Lisa.
In honor of LASMKE, author of Expectations of Success and Small Town Gossip, her friends have put together this special auction in her memory. The winning bidder will receive a photograph of their choice from Images Without Borders, a website that raises money for those affected by crises through the sale of photographs. The photograph that the winner selects will then serve as a prompt for a minimum 2500 word oneshot from EACH author from Lisa's list of favorites. That's seven oneshots from the following twific authors:
americnxidiot
AmeryMarie
Araeo
EchoesofTwilight
greeen goldfish
Serendipitydooda
WriteOnTime
Thanks to Lisa's family, friends, and the participating authors for making this auction possible. Special thanks to Litljazzbird for her generous donation of the photograph.
Terms: Oneshots will be delivered to winning bidder no later than August 1, 2010. Photo value not to exceed $50 and must be selected from one of the following galleries on the IWB website: 'Eclectic Visions,' 'Urban Images,' 'World Collection,' or 'Nature by Lens.' Photographs may be previewed here: http://www.imageswithoutborders.org/c/i ... llery-list. In discussing the delivery of the oneshots with the authors, it was decided that we want the bidders to have an incentive to bid, so the winning bidder will receive the oneshots exclusively initially. However, because they are written in honor of Lisa, it was felt that after a period of two months, they should be posted publicly for the rest of the community to be able to read, as well.
Feel free to post questions about the auction here. I know there is a team in the works, so that people who want to contribute can even if they can't afford to give a ton. The discussion for the auction is HERE and the actual auction (which opens at midnight tonight) is HERE.
