Damn, if I'd only known that fans could offer up knitting or betas, I would have signed up as a donor. I'll have to console myself by bidding for a custom vid....

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
There's a way to change the pounds to dollars but, um, now that I've done it I can't remember where the option was.
ETA:: Change the country at the top of the right navbar to "USA" to change the currency. Or, you know, you could keep it in pounds. Makes it look like you're spending less.

Huh. I just read an Ellen/Sam SPN fic. I have to say it just didn't work for me. I think I spent too much time fighting the image in my head.

Art Crawl!!!
Ellen and Sam ?
No. That's just not right.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Sam?
No, it should be Ellen/Dean. And then it has to acknowledge the weird. For me. And then? Well, yeah, that can work for me in a fic.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I was going to say the same thing.
Dean/Ellen can be hot.

There's a fair amount of Ellen/Sam.
I haven't actually read any of it. But there's a fair amount. See it on the newsletter all the time.

Blasphemers!
Or, you know, whatever tweaks their kinks.
(But Ellen/Dean right and impure.)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I'm bemused that there would be a proliferation of Ellen/Sam. Or at least - that there would be more Ellen/Sam than Ellen/Dean. But whatever.
Re Sweet Charity ....um, this looks like a lot of fun, but isn't it straying perilously close to selling fanfiction?
I mean, no, obviously the writers aren't personally profiting from the fiction. But the fiction is still being exchanged for currency, albeit said currency is being passed on to a charity.
I find that a bit worrisome. Because I think that keeping very clearly away from the fanfic-for-cash thing is the best strategy to keep The Man off our collective backs. And I really don't WANT The Man on our collective backs. In any but a porny way.
...am I being unreasonably paranoid?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Or SA, but she is to me as Nestra is to Shrift, so I probably don't really *need* to bid on her.
You are of course right. But people are still bidding for me! Like £25 pounds! That's so exciting.
...am I being unreasonably paranoid?
Perhaps. I mean, fandom has been putting charity auctions together for awhile, and one of the more recent ones was the quite massive and popular one post-Katrina. Besides that, it isn't fanfiction for cash--there's no profit being made here. It's offering a service for a donation, which I think is fundamentally different from selling fanfiction. Fanfiction isn't being sold. A service is offered following a donation, and that service may or may not be fanfiction.
It's not like this Fanlib.net business.
