Be A Santa - Get A Story!
You might think it's still early, but no. In fact, 'tis the time to be jolly...and charitable.
Lots of folks take part in the yuletides and wishlists or offer 12 Days of Ficmas type memes. I've done that last year and had a lot of fun, but due to time restraints, I'd like to concentrate on something else I did last year, namely offer to write fic in return for donations for a specific charity.
Santa CAN organizes a gift drive for foster kids in Los Angeles (my old hometown). Please have a look at the website and then at the registered wish list.
Here's where you come in: If you go and play Santa for a child (or two or three...) and buy a present, I will write you a story! Easy, ain't it?
1. Peruse the wish list. Everyone is able to spend something! There are gifts for less than 10 dollars, people!
2. Follow the instructions to buy the gift. It's easy. You can pay by credit card or PayPal, for example, so even non-US residents can be Santa.
3. You will receive a confirmation email. Forward this email to me or send a screen shot of the confirmation to me at sinfulslasher @ gmail.com so I can see that (a) you did buy a gift and (b) how much it cost.
4. Comment here to let me know (a) that you played Santa and (b) what your prompt(s) is/are.
I cannot promise 100 words per dollar spent (if you buy something for over 100 dollars, I'll be...writing for a long time... O_o LOL!). However, I will do my best to match the amount spent with the words I'll write. And I'm generally wordy, so there's that.
You can prompt me with anything. Challenge me! :-) You know my fandoms/characters/pairings. If you're unsure, feel free to ask! I'll try my best to give you what you want, I promise! You can give me one prompt for a longer story or two or more prompts for ficlets if you bought a more expensive gift (or more than one small gift). The sky's the limit here. I will write as many stories as there are folks willing to participate!
Here's a screen shot of a confirmation email from Toys R Us, to show you what I need from you (my last name is blackened, and you can, of course, delete any personal information before forwarding the email to me):
As the gift is worth 30 bucks, I'd now write myself a 3K story. :-)
I really, really hope that many of my awesome flisters will decide to give a little something to make a child's holidays happier! THANK YOU!!!
