Grandma, I Want Some Fanfiction For Christmas
For most of us, the day is yet to come when we can make that statement over Thanksgiving dinner! So until then, The Stocking Stuffer Author Auction is here to help with your holiday shopping! As a follow up to our phenomenally successful September Author Auction, the Stocking Stuffer Author Auction will take place over Thanksgiving weekend - for 3-days only - to help simplify holiday shopping, all the while raising money for a great cause.
Many of us struggle to come up with gift ideas for our internet friends. Winning a friend’s favorite author is a perfect way to give a gift you know they’ll love; a gift which their “Real Life” friends and family would never think of! And because the writing challenges must all have a holiday theme, covering any one of the holidays between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, we hope that this will be an additional way for readers and authors alike to celebrate the holiday season.
For those of you unfamiliar with the concept, the Author Auction serves as a writing challenge for fandom authors. The authors offer themselves up for the auction block, in this case for a holiday-themed story, approximately 2,500 words long. Their readers have the fun of bidding for (and bickering over!) them, and the winning bidder gets to issue the writing challenge of their choice to the author the won.
All bids will be taken at Majik’s World of Fan Fic. You must be registered to bid. Complete registration instructions can be found here.
The timing for the Stocking Stuffer Author Auction is as follows:
Saturday, November 29th, 12:01am - Auction opens
Monday, December 1st, 9:00pm - Auction ends
Within 21 days of payment receipt, the author you have won will delivery the 2,500 word one-part story to you or your friend. The recipient can choose whether to have the story posted publicly or not.
All payments must be received via paypal at supportstacie@gmail.com. Any auction not paid for will default to the next highest bidder.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know (supportstacie@gmail.com)! We’re excited about what a success the last auction was and what a direct impact that has made on Stacie’s life. With such a successful event under our belts, we expect this coming auction to be an joy for all concerned. But most important of all, please take a moment to start spreading the news about this fantastic holiday event! A list of all of authors participating can be found Here.
Hope to see you guys there, and many apologizes to my flist for the double posts. For more info be sure to check out supportstacie.
