The KazCon Story Auction!
In August there is going to be a fan convention in Lawrence called Kazcon, you don't have to be going to participate in the Auction and it's for a wonderful cause! Details below-
The KazCon 2009 committee is excited to announce the return of...
The KazCon Story Auction!
The KazCon committee is in need of your help! We are holding an 'Author Auction' to raise money for the National Lung Cancer Partnership. The donation will be made in honor of Kim Manners. What is an Author Auction, you ask?
Pretty much what it sounds like! You would enter yourself and the type of story you'd be willing to write (for example, gen or slash, AU, episode-related, etc) and we will auction you off to the KazCon attendees. After that, it will be up to you to correspond with the winning bidder and determine a deadline- if any- and where the story will be posted, etc. In essence, you are offering a promise that you will write a story for someone else. These auctions are so much fun, and it's for a great cause. Authors do NOT have to attend KazCon to be in the auction. (Bidders will have to attend, however).
So if you're in need of a plot bunny or you just want to help our tribute to Mr. Manners, respond with your pen name and the types of stories you do and do not want to write. For example:
Name: Black_Wingedbird
Email: black_wingedbird@yahoo.com
Website: www.black-wingedbird.com
I love to write stand-alone oneshots with lots of Sammy whumpage and Big Brother!Dean. I'll write crossovers but I have to be familiar with the characters. Story turnaround is usually less than three months.
Will not write: Wincest, deathfics, or abusive!John stories
Story Specs: I will write a 5000 word story in the next three months, based on the winning bidder's ideas. The story will be posted to my website and fanfiction.net and dedicated to the winner.
Don't want to write but have a plot bunny? The game works both ways.
You can offer to pay a set number of authors a certain amount of money in order for them to write a story to your specifications. For example:
"Dana Norris will pay $20 for every author (up to 5) who will write a story (minimum five pages, no max) in SPN fandom that does/has the following: Set in Season one before the season finale. Uses one of Sam's fears against him (ex: being afraid of clowns), Dean's protective, etc. NO SLASH, NO SHIP (or Het, or whatever SPN fandom calls it )"
Know of someone who might be interested? Pass the word!
