From vaingirlfic on my lj flist:
For Charity
So, I know you've all been reading/watching about the horrific disaster in Japan. And, most likely, your flist has clued you in to these two (unrelated) fandom auctions on lj and dw if you want to bid on some awesome work and/or goodies while contributing. Even if not, I very much encourage you to check it out and boost the signal, because this whole mess is just really unfathomable.
I'm going to do something a little different here. Here's the deal, I'm going give away 15 thingies (keep reading to see said thingies described) for the first 15 people who donate $5 to the Red Cross for the Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami.
The first thingie is a matching donation of $5 from me to the same Red Cross fund (so, you give $5, I give $5). Everyone gets the first thingie.
Erm, ETA: Yeah, veritykindle rightly points out that the minimum donation at the Red Cross is $10. An alternative if you only want to give $5 is Doctors Without Borders, who are deploying people in Japan.
The second thingie is one of the following of your choice:
So, that's it, first 15 (if we get that high!) get thingies (this entry is crossposted at lj and dw, so it's 15 altogether in both places). Feel free to signal boost, the offer is open to people not on my flist or just browsing.
I'm posting this here because the "thingies" she's offering are ficlets, recs lists and beta readings.
