DOLLAR DRIVE

[shadyperfection]

THE DOLLAR DRIVE IS NOW

HOW THIS WORKS: Make icons, do a dare, write fic, etc. There are two sides of the coin here: those who can donate and those of you who can't donate. If you can't donate offer your services in anyway you can (that's legal) and people will donate on your behalf. If you are donating you offer donations for people who do

Offer: Turning your fanfic into an ebook

[sacredpornondw]

(I hope I didn't misunderstand? I can post my offer here, right?)

I'll turn your fanfic (or any document, really) into a .mobi format ebook.

How much does it cost?
USD1.00 for every 5,000 words. If your fanfic/document is 5,001 words long, it will cost you USD2.00.

How is this service useful?
- People can read your fanfic/document on any mobi-compatible devices, including Amazon's Kindle.
- People can read your fanfic/document in any mobi-compatible software, including Amazon's FREE Kindle software which is available for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows PC, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Phone 7.
- As much as I love AO3, their mobi converter has not been perfected. I can make sure your mobi ebook does not contain any weird characters or funny formatting.

Who can bid on this service?
Absolutely anyone. It doesn't matter that you are the author of the fanfic or not. As long as you can link me to the web page where the fanfic is posted, or email it to me as a document, we'll be fine.

What about the accompanying artwork?If you wish, I can

Offer: Recipes and menus

[fatascribunda]

I'm offering recipes and/or menus.

Recipes: $1/each. You can make specific food requests ("hey, I'm vegetarian, what've you got!") or ask for general themes ("look, I never know what to do for lunch so I eat out all the time, feed me."). As much as possible, I will give you my own recipes or ones I've tried and worked (usually I try recipes, then modify the hell out of them). On the rare occasion, it'll be from a source I trust. At all points, I'll tell you the source.

Menus: Have a party? Tell me your theme/what you're going for, and I'll plan a menu for you. $1/course, but a minimum of $5.

I'm always in the market for new recipes. I'll take 5 of your favorite dinner recipes :)

Is there a specific charity you'd like me to donate to?

Re: Offer: Recipes and menus

[fatascribunda]

Charity of your choice, I have no preferences! Are there any restrictions you have, or any preferences food wise (healthy, easy to make, stews, etc etc)?

Re: Offer: Recipes and menus

[mylar1]

Easy to make and healthy would be great!

Here's my receipt:

ICON REQUEST

[fatascribunda]

I have two requests:

1. I'm looking for an icon of Ursula-as-Vanessa from The Little Mermaid. I'd prefer one of mostly her face, either the scene where she's looking shifty when Ariel first meets her, or the scene where she's looking in the mirror and Ursula is staring back.

2. I'd like a collection of Disney Villains icons. The ones I'd like are Malificent, the Evil Queen (Snow White), Lady Tremaine (Cinderella), and Cruella. And of course, the above.

If the two requests can be done together, great. If not, as much as can be. I'll donate up to $10 for all of these icons (so $2/icon).

Re: ICON REQUEST

[gryffindordream]

I have a question about this. Would they be animated icons or no?

Re: ICON REQUEST

[fatascribunda]

they don't have to be, no.

Re: ICON REQUEST

[alilfallofrain]

do you have the pictures you want?

Offering graphics

[writinchica2k]

Non-animated icons/banners/macros. Open to do pretty much any fandom or Idol season since this is charity. Price is what you believe the end result is worth.

Hey is it OK to publicize this dollar drive on Twitter or is that a nono? Sorry I am not too familiar with the ins and outs of _ai.

[shadyperfection]

Hmm idk I left it unlocked if some old members want to come back for it. I don't see that there would be a problem with it. Just use some discretion because there will probably be fic in here and that makes some people uncomfortable.

[yoko71]

OK Thanks!

Also, in other news, US iTunes has a red cross donation interface, and its minimum is $5.
