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.
Hey, Vividcon registration is now open, right? Is anyone going? Does anyone know how they are handling the dvds this year?
I have three extra copies reserved. Want one? My other 2 may be reserved but I will post here if not.
Hey, does anyone else remember that Lord King Bad Vid for LotR, which was basically a 60s/70s love song from Frodo to the Ring? I tried Google, but it has failed me.
So there's this X-Files book club on LJ, and they're talking about my epic post-colonization series I wrote with three friends. And that's kind of validating, to see that ten years later, people are still finding value in the series.
But there's this one fact they just keep getting wrong, which is that the order in which the stories are posted on my website is not the order in which they were written or originally posted, and it makes a difference.
... but I can't bring myself to go over there and comment, because I don't want them to not speak freely. So I'm just sitting on my hands.
It's weird.
Sock puppet, or send a friend. If it were me, I'd probably go myself, but I'm not fond of the illusion that public spaces are private. Of course the subject may be looking back.
ah fandom, I am disappoint. My search for a Veronica Mars/Slings & Arrows crossover has borne no fruit. I may have to write Darren Nichols/Aaron Echolls myself.
So I wrote a story in which The Horse and His Boy ends rather differently:
