Self pimpage is self pimping, but it's for charity so it's okay, right?

Okay gorgeous flisties, so it's now Australia Day in my home country. Which means you have approximately 19 hours left to bid on me at the qldfloodauction. What is this in aid of? My post where I explain why I'm participating. Obviously the worst of the actual flooding is over but there is a LOT of cleanup and a LOT of rebuilding to be done. Which means $$$ is the best way forward for a lot of my fellow Queenslanders - thus the fundraising!

What the winning bid will get - a minimum of 2k of fic (and hey, I'm wordy these days, it will likely be more) written by me! For you! Pairing of your choice - preferably one I've written before but hey, I am open to challenges. I will even try Waycest!

My bidding thread

Bid hard, bid often.

Also, for your reference (though I doubt it will be necessary, ha. Like I'm that popular), here is the local time in Sydney, Australia - bidding closes at 11:59pm EDT (ie. the time on that clock).

Happy bidding folks!

ETA. Completely off topic, but I was updating my Masterlist and I noticed my first two fics posted of the new year are both het and wife centric. Huh. I totally didn't plan that.

Hey! I want to bid, but the way it's done is confusing me. Can you help me? Do I donate first, and then type the amount in the reply section of your comment. Like, do I donate $40 first and then type $40 in the reply comments? I want to help!

Oh no you don't have to donate unless you are the winning bid! So whoever has the highest bid at 11:59pm is notified as being the winner and only then do they need to donate! So you can bid away in the comments freely until then, just don't promise more than you can deliver!

Makes sense? Also, go you! It's for such a good cause. :D

Got it! So it's almost just like e-bay, only for charity. How amazing! I always wanted to participate in one of these, but I'm still pretty new to LJ. Thanks for your help! I'm heading over to the other post now!

Oh! I've already donated to both Queensland and Brazil so between that and general January madness I'm pretty broke, otherwise I'd totally bid, ugh, want! It's been really uplifting watching everyone help each other out over there, everyone's really focused on the clean-up and just being awesome to one another. &Australia;

My brother's housing two of his friends that lost their homes up there, it's one of those GMH moments haha

Good work babe, no need to donate further since you already have.

I agree about the response - it's been really reassuring to see the great attitude everyone's got about the cleanup. So nice to see.
