That's right, TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT!

Now, I've talked about it before, but here's a quick recap:

The auction is to raise money for Stacie Holeman, to help her cover medical bills from battling both breast and ovarian cancer because she's uninsured. You can learn more about the Support Stacie campaign here at the main web site, on Myspace, here on LJ (supportstacie), and if you're Twitter inclined you can follow @SupportStacie.

The auction is currently mulitfandom -- you can find the list of authors and fandoms here, or feel free to check out the offers avaliable.

The auction starts TONIGHT AT 11:59 CDT. Because of Daylight Savings Time, that is UTC/GMT -5.

There are some really great authors signed up for this (myself excluded, of course), so seriously, go take a look.

What to Expect Around the Auction
Chat-A-Thon Fandoms and Times. I may or may not be in the chats because I have plans on Saturday and probably will be working Sunday and have class on Monday night.


I have three lots up for auction:
One Merlin 2,500 word minimum fic.
One Doctor Who 2,500 word minimum fic.
One Torchwood 2,500 word minimum fic.

And as an added incentive, I'm offering one 100 word drabble for all bids of $10 or more. In any fandom I'm into.

I will also be writing a 1,000 word minimum ficlet for the second-place bidders if they donate their final bid offer to the auction.

Auctions open tonight, 11:59 PM CDT. The Whoniverse bidding closes at 8 PM CDT, while the Merlin lot closes at 10 PM CDT.

Well that's true. Although most seemed to have the sense to limit themselves to one fic and some drabbles...I seemed to have totally lost my mind and offered 4 fics and umm...40 drabbles I think...

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not crazy at the moment -- only three drabbles to write.

So far.

[shannon730.livejournal.com]

No not crazy at the moment. except that I haven't written a BTVS or HP fic in 2 years, but so far no bids on Buffy so...

I'm really impressed that you are offering so much writing for this woman. You and Gracie have earned the title of Goddesses.

I was bored and slightly insane when I filled out the registration form. But honestly, as someone with a physical problem that requires medical attention that can't get it because it also prevents me from working, I'm very sympathetic to this. My problems at least won't kill me though...hers will.

I know what you mean. I had health insurance with my job but when I lost my job, I lost my health insurance. I need surgery myself but with no way of paying for it, it's not an option.

Yeah, we don't need a national health plan for all. Not when we have fan-fics writers auctioning off their skills to pay for one woman's medical bills. *insert heavy sarcasm here*

[shannon730.livejournal.com]

Of course not. This auction doesn't at all prove that the current system is not working.
