All right, my dears, let's get this show on the road.*
*Warning for slight crazies of the sleep and tea deprivation variety. As you may have already gathered. We have no milk, and the shop was shut when I realised. Sad bunny now. :(
So help_japan opened its auction doors on Monday, and it's off to a roaring success. As mentioned in my previous post, I have a few collaborative efforts going on with quality_rachni, nanashi_itsumo and lily_lestrange, amongst other, lj-less friends. Our threads are here:
- Scotland in a box! - what it says on the tin. A box full of Scottish items put together by us. Scottish sweets and travel books, Robert Burns related items, William Wallace and other Wars of Independence related items, tartan, key chains, blank postcards, and a few curios. We might even try and get in a few Highland Cow plushies.
- Photographs of Scotland - another self-descriptive offer. All pictures will be taken by quality_rachni, nanashi_itsumo and myself (and nanashi_itsumo's friend, who I don't think has an lj).
There's so much amazing stuff there, from so many creative people. Seriously, check it out. I don't have the money to bid on anyone, but if I did, I would, oh. (Guys, this is the part where I pimp you out. If you don't want me to, let me know, and I'll remove your name.)
Like torakowalski, who's offering 2,000 words in The Social Network, The Social Network RPS, Merlin, Bob/Brian (bandom), Tanya Huff's Smoke series. Oh man, Tora's fic. *___* If I could afford it, I would bid and bid on her until I could bid no more.
turlough is offering up her amazing graphic skills in the form of two sets of icons/wallpapers/banners for the two highest bidders (also here on DW, so you have four chances). You may have noticed all my nice new and shiny icons as part of the lj trial. Most of them are by her. There's a reason for that.
harborshore is also offering at least 2,000 words in bandom (The Like, PATD, TYV, Bob and Brian, Mikey Way, Pete Wentz, etc.), DCU, Veronica Mars, BTVS, Vampire Diaries. What I love about her fic is - well, hell, a lot, but let's stick to the way she weaves magical realism like it was nothing, and the fact that her women are real.
And then my darling lily_lestrange, who has been working tirelessly to pimp the auction out on fb, has put up her own box, filled with "cute/kawaii/lolita/geeky" jewellery, all handmade by the lady herself. Lily's stuff is just the most adorable, I swear, and of really good quality. She has her own site, Lily's Emporium, in case you fall in love with her stuff - easy to do, believe me - and get outbid on the box. She's also an incredible businesswoman, so you know you're in good hands with her.
All right, I think that it for tonight. If anyone else is offering things, let me know! The more money we raise the better. :)
And now I'm going to go faceplant into my pillow and listen to Danger Days until I fall asleep, which shouldn't take long. (If I said I'd been listening to it almost continuously for seven hours earlier and didn't get sick of it, I wouldn't be lying. I freaking love this album.)
