Oh, LJ - I've been neglecting you again. We haven't even discussed all the news about The Family! But never mind that just now - I'm here to ask you for some money ;)
Rupert's 52nd birthday is on June 30th - and we're getting him... A MONKEY!
No, really! And not only that, but in return for helping us out in this noble pursuit you could get some fic or a piece of art created especially for you by one of your fellow fans in our
Fanworks Auction! (It's open now and you have until 11:59pm BST on Tuesday to bid!)
As we all know, Rupert is a big fan of monkeys.
So this year to celebrate his birthday we’re raising money for
Wild Futures, an animal conservation charity who, along with their other work, operate a sanctuary in Cornwall, caring for unwanted and neglected monkeys in need of a safe home for life.
In return for our efforts, Wild Futures have said they will be delighted to send Rupert a cuddly stuffed monkey of his very own and an adoption pack for him to choose one of their real live monkeys to adopt!
How can you help?
One of two ways:
- Make a donation on our JustGiving page! The money goes straight to Wild Futures and you can leave a little message to wish Rupert a Happy Birthday!
- Bid for an item in our Auction! Fancy some fic or art created by your fellow fans? Check out the lots and make a bid; if you win you make a donation as above but you get a story or picture of your very own in return! The auction is live now and open until 23:59:00 BST on June 23rd.
You can also help just by spreading the word about the JustGiving page and the auction!
Thank you! And let’s…
