Update and first pinch-hits

Hi everyone

For baked goods, how exactly would they be delivered? I can bake, but I'm not sure how I would send a pan of brownies in the mail.

[rane_ab]

Good question! To be honest, I'm not a baking specialist myself, so I'm not entirely sure. I would guess seal it properly and send it off in a package? That's why we've added the region, because they probably wouldn't survive a long travel. I'll add the question to the post, maybe someone has more experience with it. :o) (And thank you already for offering!)

Brownies are easy to ship. You can wrap them up in foil and plastic wrap and then put them in a box so they don't move or get a cookie tin and put them in there and again make sure there is no wiggle room by using waxed paper or foil, etc.

What I've done to mail cookies is put them in a ziplock bag, put the bag in one of those padded mail envelopes, tape it very well, and hope they're not in too many pieces when they arrive. Brownies would work the same way, I'd think.

I'd be happy to do one of the podfics, depending on content. (Any fandom is fine, but I prefer not to record stories with explicit sex.) A month's turnaround time sounds reasonable.

[rane_ab]

That's fantastic! Thank you very much. :D I'll get in touch with the bidders, see what kind of fic they wanted recording, and hopefully one of them wants something non-explicit. I'm assuming you're aiming for Gen to PG-13?

[juniperphoenix]

I'm assuming you're aiming for Gen to PG-13?

Yes, that'd be great. Thanks!

[rane_ab]

I've just PM'ed you - let me know should you not have received it. :o)

Could I ask you to please go to our previous post and fill out the form if you haven't already? Thank you! :o)

Thank you!

Hi there, this is probably a lost cause, but I still have never received my auction winnings from hiddengrace.

...is there anything that can be done?

[imaginarycircus]

I volunteer to do one of the goodie boxes. I'm in the north east. I should be able to manage this by the end of April at the very latest.

[rane_ab]

That would be fabulous, thank you very much! :D Do you have a preference for a bidder? (We've added the region so people would know how far their box needed to travel.)

[imaginarycircus]

No, I'm sure I can pack whatever I send well enough that it will get there intact--unless the post office uses my box as a pinata. :D

[rane_ab]

OK, I'll wait and see if any other people want to do a goodie box and if they have any preferences before assigning you to a specific bidder, then, if that's all right with you? If people don't have preferences, we'll just try and match up pinch-hitters with whoever's closest to them. Again, thank you! :o)

[aravistarkheena]

If you still need people to send out baked good, I'd be happy to do a box.

I'd shoot it have it out April the ninth, so the sooner you can get me info on the recipients, the better.

~Thanks.

ETA: I'm on the East Coast of the US by the way. :D

[rane_ab]

That would be really fabulous, thank you! :D Right now we haven't marked down any preferences yet, so do you have a preference for any one recipient based on the region they live in? I will then ask the recipient to contact you, so they can give you an address.

[rane_ab]

Oops, I only saw your edit after replying! I think ceramicbaby would be best suited, then?

[aravistarkheena]

Awesome. I shall PM ceramicbaby and see what her tastes/allergies are.

Is this a done deal or do I need to notify you of something or another?
