Bidding is live at Live Long And Marry!

[rachelmanija]

Though we apparently KILLED LJ earlier, we are now up and running! Go forth and bid!

Heads up that some people are still preparing offers, so keep checking the comm. Ellen Kushner and a very exciting Surprise Guest will be posting a truly amazing offer soon.

Since I'm too lazy to do a ton of links, note the tag list to the right side of livelongnmarry. Click on seller: [Lj name] to find all their offers.

I have offered original or fan fic. And also a professional critique.

Sherwood Smith (sartorias) is offering a hand-drawn map of her world.

Noted pro erotica writer Hanne Blank (misia) is offering an erotica-writing boot camp.

pameladean, marthawells, Steve Berman (mroctober), and many more pro writers are offering signed (and sometimes rare) editions of their books.

Kate Elliot and Elizabeth Bear (matociquala) are offering professional critiques.

Justine Larbalestier (justinelavaworm) will name a character in her next book after you!

smillaraaq, copperwise, and many more are offering gorgeous handmade jewelry.

gaudior is offering a consultation to help you find a therapist! (The "offered: misc services" tag is worth perusing.)

All this, plus art, fanfic, baked goods, knit goods, home-made soap, web design, fashion consultation, custom My Little Ponies, original music, and hand-turned dildos!

I am stunned at the inventiveness of people--and the good will expressed by so many in offering and in bidding. It's just fantastic.

And hats off to you and fellow mod for holding the reins on this chariot race.

Cool, we're still allowed to offer? I didn't get together the pictures I needed for my first offer, and perusing the comm has given me a couple more ideas.

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

Yeah, put it up there.

Did you see the literary agent offering critique? :D

Oh, God, I looked at that and thought, Wow, if only I had $$. I bet that'll go high.

I was, like, if I only had something TO critique! XD

This is the most wonderful thing. I looked at the page where people were recording their donations ... and it actually made me cry. If only everyone were as loving and selfless as the people in fandom!

I'm impatiently waiting to see if I've won the three auctions I'm bidding in.

I just want to congratulate you on the effort here. I hope the responses from bidders are as amazing as the responses from contributors!
