An auction
I'm currently participating in an auction to help out a wonderful author and creator, Terri Windling, who is at the moment in a time of financial need. From the Magick for Terri journal":
"Beloved editor, artist and writer Terri Windling is in need, and we are asking for your help in a fundraising auction to assist her. This auction will combine donations from professionals and fans in an online sale to help Terri through a serious financial crisis.
Terri is the creator of groundbreaking fantasy and mythic art and literature over the past several decades, ranging from the influential urban fantasy series Bordertown to the online Journal of Mythic Arts. With co-editor Ellen Datlow, she changed the face of contemporary short fiction with The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror and other award-winning anthologies, including Silver Birch, Blood Moon and The Green Man: Tales from the Mythic Forest. Her remarkable Endicott Studio blog continues to bring music, poetry, art and inspiration to people all over the world.
Terri Windling and her family have been coping with health and legal issues that have drained her financial resources at a critical time. Due to the serious nature of these issues, and privacy concerns for individual family members, we can't be more specific than that, but Terri is in need of our support. As a friend, a colleague and an inspiration, Terri has touched many, many lives over the years. She has been supremely generous in donating her own work and art to support friends and colleagues in crisis. Now, Terri is in need of some serious help from her community. Who better than her colleagues and fans to rise up to make some magick for her?"

Basically I'm offering to write a short piece about your favorite TMI or ID character or pairing - canon, non-canon, I don't mind, though nothing too filthy :) and only characters from my own work. I'll handwrite it out and send it to you, framed if you'd like to keep it as a memento. The starting price is $50 - it's for a great cause and there's lots of other awesome stuff up for auction; check it out!
