Awesome updates on the Haiti podathon:

Some of the prize donations I was not at liberty to reveal yesterday:

@leaky: JK Rowling has donated a set of signed books for the Haiti drive...details to come!

@melissaanelli: Also... signed Neil Gaiman book!!!

The latter is a signed copy of A Harlequin Valentine, which I don't think has been mentioned

Question: How are they going to get you off the phone?

I read that as get you off on the phone. BRB, dirty mind needs washing.

[hippydippymama]

THAT is one fundraising tactic I could get behind! PHONE SEX WITH CELEBS, PROCEEDS GO TO CHARITY. =P

ok, I've realized what I love about your icon (well, beyond typical 'Firefly is amazing' which is true) it could be Farscape too... without even stretching imagination too far.

[maudelynn]

Goodness! I wonder how many people wanted to help that they had no room for???

YAY!! on all your goodies! Your telethon will be awesome!!!

PS how many people do you think will call and hang up till they GET WHO THEY WANT??

I heard they might put RPattz on the phone bank, too. Can you imagine the disaster? The entire phone system will crash under the load of fan girls dialing and re-dialing, in the hopes of hearing his (sparkly) voice!

I also feel sorry for any parents of young girls tonight. All the promoters need to do is put RPattz out there, make him look sad and ask for money for Haiti, and there go the millions.

[cleolinda]

Nah, I believe he's presenting in London. Putting him on the phone bank would not help anyone.

That said, I think it's brilliant to have him do stuff. TAKE THE TWIHARDS MONEY. TAKE IT ALL. TAKE IT FOR THE CHILDREN.

[leia1912]

Oh, yes. Good God, how much money has he raked in without even *trying* to get the Twigirls foaming at the mouth? All he has to do is look broody and suggest somewhere out there in Haiti, a Haitian Edward won't find his Haitian Bella without YOUR HELP. ---> instant flow of cash.

(I can't mock too much. If they had Alexander Skarsgard out there and suggested they'd remove his clothing for my donations, I'd go broke in a second.)

Oh if only LJ had a "like" button...

[wildcatlizzie]

OMG that's awesome!!

All I saw was the Harry Potter books signed by JKR and I stopped reading.

That list is amazing. It's a good thing that I'm a poor college grad who has yet to find a job, otherwise, honestly, I'd be one of those people calling and hanging up until I'd get someone who I'd probably fangirl over on the phone.

[piccgirl]

That rocks so much. It makes me wish I had money to bid on things with, but, sadly, I gave all I could, and being a college student, I don't have that much.

Re: The phone thing. Sadly, I don't see David Tennant or another one of my voice crushes on there. And I agree. How are they going to get people off the phone?
