revised auction deadline

Regarding the auction to help Vera Nazarian: The organizers are now advising donors to close bidding for each item one week after it was posted (the better to get more money to Vera sooner). So, for example, you'll need to get your bids in by this Friday evening if you want the poems or whisky cake I'm offering.

Lots of goodies over there, I should add, especially if you're a sf/f fan -- quite a few rare / signed treasures have been offered.

star light, star bright... (wishlist)

( how this works )

Additional note: If you're inclined to indulge me on any of these, feel free to use any of my names on the gift tag (*grin*). If you need my address (for this, or for cards, or for some random something some other less crazy season, heh), please e-mail bronze.ribbons at gee mail.

(1) a share of a sheep. Seriously. The Beautiful Young Man kept laughing at me while we were in Scotland because I was gleefully chirping "sheep!" whenever some came into view, which was about every five minutes.

(2) read something I've rec'd. Tell the author/artist you liked it, and drop an extra note to me to let me know that you enjoyed it. That will give me very warm fuzzies indeed. :-)

(3) read Youka Nitta's Haru wo Daiteita / Embracing Love (scanlations available to members of the LJ comm) or Sanami Matoh's FAKE (many inexpensive copies available via Abebooks, eBay, Amazon, etc.). I want larger audiences for the fics I can't help writing! ;-)

(4) volunteer for two hours at your local cancer society, hospice, humane society, or library.

(5) something inspired by something I've written, be it my fics, my original stuff, my sermons -- a drabble, a drawble, meta, earrings -- whatever floats your making-fun-stuff boat. :-)

(6/7) something from my Amazon or BPAL wishlists.

You know, 7 is a good number. I think I'll stop there. I would be thrilled by any of these! *blows very sparkly kisses at all y'all, flutters off to own wrappings and schemings*
