i feel stupid, and contagious

Apparently help_haiti has raised over $15,000 for this round?

Jeez, fandom. Jeez. ♥♥♥♥♥

blackmamba_esq won my auction fic (Guineverrrre! :D Gen backstory fic comin' up). idea_of_sarcasm won my auction graphics. LADIES, I AM YOURS. ♥ Thanks to them for their donations, and thanks to everyone who bid.

There will be another round for those who didn't get a chance to participate this time. 'Course, you can always donate outside of all that, as I did having been outbid for everything, haha.

Relatedly, a signal boost via karnythia: something beautiful I read.

Unrelated ETA. halfamoon is back!

Half a Moon is a fourteen day challenge celebrating female characters in fandom. Fanfiction, vids, recs, art, picspam, icons, meta, fanmixes, and outside links to content fitting the theme of this community are all welcome--the only rule is that the primary focus must be on a female character or characters.

Running Feb 1 to Feb 14. Remember last year's? Remember Glorious (which, by virtue of that vid alone, remains the only Muse song I can still stand)? YAY I AM SO PARTICIPATING THIS YEAR. Even if it's just icons.

Taking a page out of irony_rocks' book, an impromptu meme: Name your top five female characters of all time in the comments. Gogogogo.

Last minute pimping while I'm stuck at work late: livelongnmarry is in its last few hours of bidding -- the auction closes at 12:01 am Pacific time. So go bid on whatever you want; there's loads of offers of all shapes and sizes. I have a fic-shaped one here, but no matter what you bid on, go bid, doods.

Also, hee. The HP fanficcer vs fanartists -- who's hotter? competition is fun so I'm pimping it again. :P I'm over here, but now a bunch of my flist have posted up, and you ladies are adorable!

ETA: Oh. Oh! Happy Birthday (a day late, eep) to scifichick774! I hope you had a great day and got what you were wishing for, honey. ♥♥

ETA 2: OMGOMGOMG Anne and Sara, this is for you: Cookie's rocking a MFing Obama tshirt.

Hugs to everyone who needs them today. ♥
