For the second time in ten months, devastating floods have decimated an area of Queensland, Australia, that is greater than the size of France. Greater than the size of Germany. Greater than the size of France and Germany combined. In 2010, Christmas did not come for these people. And the weather forecast is for more rain, more floods, so much more damage.
IN AN EFFORT TO ADD TO THE FUNDRAISING RESPONSE, I AM GOING TO AUCTION MYSELF OFF TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT WEEK (OR SO, DEPENDING ON HOW POPULAR THIS ENDS UP!!).
I PLEDGE TO WRITE 100 WORDS FOR EVERY $1AUD DONATED... PLEASE (PLEASE!!!) LEAVE YOUR BID AS A REPLY TO THE APPROPRIATE COMMENT BELOW. AT THIS STAGE, I'LL SET THE CLOSING TIME/DATE AS 11.59PM (Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time) ON SUNDAY THE 23rd OF JANUARY.
THE WINNING BIDDER WILL BE REQUIRED TO MAKE THEIR DONATION TO THE ALREADY ESTABLISHED QUEENSLAND GOVERNMENT FLOOD RELIEF APPEAL OR RSPCA QUEENSLAND FLOOD APPEAL (The RSPCA will ensure any animals - native or domestic - found during this crisis are safe and fed and will attempt to re-establish their homes once the floodwaters have subsided)...
IN ADDITION TO THIS, I CHALLENGE THE FIC WRITERS ON MY FLIST TO DO THE SAME... IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE A FIC, PLEASE LEAVE YOUR PERTINENTS (fandoms, characters/pairings, word limits etc) IN A COMMENT BELOW AND THEN LINK PEOPLE TO THE THREAD (and this entry) VIA A POST IN YOUR OWN JOURNAL.
REMEMBER: CLOSING DATE FOR BIDS = 11.59PM (AusEDST), Sunday 23rd January.
FANDOMS I'LL WRITE: Sanctuary, Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, Doctor Who (nine, ten, eleven), Rizzoli & Isles, Castle, The Mentalist, House, Iron Man (films).
BID ON ME HERE
(and look around and see if there are other people offering up their fic, too!)
