The Petulant Poetess' Every Flavour Auction!

Dec 24, 2010 10:17

Hello All!

On 26DEC2010 at 5:00 p.m. EST, The Petulant Poetess will be opening “The Petulant Poetess’ Every Flavour Auction: A Fundraising Benefit To Support Our Archive”! It takes $1300 every two years for the archive to remain open, and $32 every few months to maintain our membership to Chatzy (allowing for more than 10 people in any chat room), and we need your help! As kyriaofdelphi was the first person to make a donation, even before we announced the idea of an auction, we have chosen a name she suggested for our auction title. Thanks, kyria!

The auction will allow all members of our community to contribute. Don’t have any spare change? Auction off a fic or a scarf. Have some money? Bid on an item. TPP remains open for business. Everyone wins.

The auction will have six categories: fic, writing services (beta/alpha/cheerleader), digital art, food, crafts (including paintings and other physical art) , and other. None of the offerings within any category (except fic) need to be HP-related--offer whatever you wish!

We will set up six posts where people can submit their offerings. Bids will come in the form of responses. If we start getting too many offering for a post, we may split a category up into more than one post.

The last person to bid before 3JAN2010 at 5:00 p.m. EST will “win” their item. An admin will confirm the winner within 48 hours.

Bidding Rules:
  • Bid by commenting to the offering post.
  • Bids must include email address
  • Bids must be raised by at least a dollar per bid
  • Please do not delete comment containing a bid--if you have an issue, please contact the TPP admin who authored the post
After proof of donation (via PayPal) to The Petulant Poetess, one of the TPP admins will get the winning bidder and the offeror in contact with each other. Failure on the part of the bidder to make their donations in a reasonable amount of time will result in the next highest bidder winning the auction item.

All proceeds from the auction will go toward funding TPP-related projects. Not interested in bidding and just want to contribute? Click HERE.

Questions? Concerns? Haikus? Leave us a note on this post. Please do not use this post to post offerings--they will be deleted.
