I'm trying to link to my offer in order to boost the signal but the comment is showing as screened. Can you change that or do I need to delete it and repost? Thanks.
Hey guys, could you possibly make a post directing people to the News post here? We're trying to get LJ to make a VGift whose proceeds would go to the NZ Red Cross! ♥
Heidi talked to the person in charge of that at LJ yesterday and they are working on it. We haven't heard that they will definitely do it, but it looks possible.
For the purposes of the auction people must use one of the charities we know to be reputable, taking funds for CHCH, and one that sends an email receipt so we can confirm that donations were made. Sending money to a bank account might not work for us. I need to review that and we'll post about it in our FAQ and Rules.
We will take virtual gifts as payment too.
And of course if people are making private donations they may make them however they choose! :D
Hey guys! Thanks so much for all your hard work. It's wonderful to see this community taking off. I was just asked this question by a friend and was hoping you might be able to answer it.
Do we start writing/making (our auctioned works) straight away or are we meant to wait until the bidding closes or something? And where do we post it all?
For the lightning round you can start your fic as soon as we have a confirmed donation from the winner. We do need to make that more explicitly clear in the FAQ and Rules.
For the Main Auction you have to wait until it ends and we know who the winner is.
You can put the fic up on your LJ or whatever site you use to archive your fics. Icons or other things would be emailed to the winner. Packages will need to be shipped, obviously. Oh my gosh. I'm babbling. TIME FOR BED!

I cried over this too. I love people right now.
Your cathedral icon is making me cry too (as is mine. I was doing a series on reconnecting with the city, but that's over now :( )
