shadesong does something called Blogathon, which involves staying up for 24 hours writing. This is a fundraiser--shadesong is raising money for the
BARCC via donations and also an auction. She collected a bunch of neat stuff from people to auction, and wrote things based on the items. I donated her two pairs of earrings:
gears and
beetle wings. She wrote creepy and awesome things prompted by them! You should
bid on them if you like my stuff and like supporting the BARCC. (Both earrings are currently going for less than I'd sell them on etsy, so you might get a good bargain!)
Also, check out
wired_lizard--she's raising money for Heifer International in a similar way (minus the auction part), and she wrote almost 17,000 words of fanfic in 24 hours. That's more than some people write during NaNoWriMo!
