The threads for the Support Stacie Author Auction are up!

You can find all of the Gilmore Girls authors signed up so far here.




And if you are into the JAM, here is my Office fic thread.

How cool is this? I totally ganked this post from allie83 :

Listen up all you Jim and Pam fanfic addicts out there. There’s a fab new LJ community and it’s called alovesosexy  so hurry up and join (that’s an order, mmkay?) The community will act as an archive as well as a writing circle. The purpose of being a writing circle is to have JAM fanfic writers and readers connect and help one another via written critique, i.e. feedback. While the main purpose of the community is to post JAM fanfiction, discussions regarding writing can also be held. Please keep in mind that we’re here to enjoy JAM fanfic and offer feedback.

The community strongly encourages everyone who takes the time to read someone’s story to leave them feedback. No one-liners that simply say, “That was great!” They want you to tell the writer why you thought it was great. And if the story wasn’t so great? Then it is most important that you tell the writer why it didn’t work for you and to offer some suggestions. No one can improve their writing capabilities unless they are given constructive criticism. And by constructive criticism, we mean absolutely no bashing of any kind. Keep it polite but honest. Think of how you would want someone to tell you what was wrong with your own story. The good thing is they won’t tolerate any reviews that contain bashing but neither will they tolerate mindless gushing either (which is fab for a new writer like myself, who WANTS to improve her writing skills.) So remember to be articulate and thorough when leaving feedback!

Go to alovesosexy  and join now!

 Real life has thrown a wrench into my week. So first, my sincere apologies for my tardiness, and second...

Congratulations to the Doctor Who and Twilight fans for their fantastic showing during the Support Stacie Author Auction, and to all of the other fandoms who participated and helped to raise such an incredible amount of money, including my Office friends who dove in for the first time.

A big shout out to my pal wiggiemomsi  who did an excellent job in rallying the troops. We had a blast playing with you guys in the weeks leading up to the auction and during the auction itself. As I told gioiamia , I have never been so happy to get my butt kicked as I was this weekend. You guys rock!

Now, wiggiemomsi , I know that you are probably sad that I won't get to finish my fabulous DOCTOR Who/Gilmore Girls crossover, but I thought that I would bring it over here for your reading pleasure so that you can gaze upon it longingly and remember the brief shining moment when you owned a piece of  the Mags ;)

( What the Who????? )

I should feel a little tense, right? A little uptight, perhaps. My OCD and inherent competitiveness should be kicking into overdrive, but for some reason it's not.

DOCTOR Who is kicking our butts.

Twilight is kicking all of our butts.

I've never been so damn happy to have my ass kicked. This auction is fantastic. I don't think I can express fully what this means to me. For once, I am at a loss for words.

Don't worry, they'll come back. They always do. But, I look at this icon of me and Pooh, and then I look at the totals from the first night of bidding, and all I can do is blink back the tears in my eyes.

Let me stick my ass out a little further. You can kick away!

Thank you!

Here is the latest list of authors signed up for the Author Auction! Come on Gilmore Girls, Dr. Who and Twilight are kicking butt!

( Authors up for Auction! )

I'm offering stories for both The Gilmore Girls and The Office again! Pick me! Pick me! I'm needy!

Okay, done.

If you are an author, sign up info is here: supportstacie.net/

Sign up now!
The Harry Potter people are already talking smack about beating us. Personally, I don't care if they do as long as we raise some $$ for Pooh, but it's always fun to mess with them.

For those of you who have not haunted the previous auctions, you're missing a really good time. We talk trash and taunt each other and the other fandoms. Amp up your snark and dive on in!

ANNNNNDDDD! Rumor has it there may be another GG Author Chat-a-Thon scheduled to coincide with the auction! Stay tuned for more details!

That is all.

I have posted my first story for the jam_prompts  table that I claimed. The story can be found here!

That Tim, he's a bossy bunny.

Well gang, the Support Stacie Author Auction will be wrapping up tomorrow night at 11:59 pm CST. Tonight (Saturday at 11:59 pm) they will open up anonymous bidding for all authors. For more information on how to do this, go to the Support Stace Author Auction site at supportstacie.net/auction/bidder%20information.htm.

Let me just take a moment to thank everyone who has participated so far. I am so proud to be a part of such a generous, enthusiastic and downright funny group of people.

For those of you who have not been watching the auction, go here www.majiksfanfic.com/phpbb/viewforum.php and check it out. The trash talk alone is worth the time.

On a personal note, iwannahorn currently owns me at a bid of $275. While this is extremely generous, her main bidding rival to date, bigbagofweird, has pointed out that at 50,000 words, I am still a steal at $0.0055 per word. I'm just sayin'....

Now, I know that some of the bids are a little steep for many people. They are definitely too rich for my blood, but if you want to help our friend Pooh, you still can. The Support Stacie site at supportstacie.net/ has this lovely little button on the right that says 'donate'.

I am asking that if you have ever whiled away an afternoon reading and enjoying any of the fics written by any of the authors participating, please make a small contribution to help Pooh kick cancer's butt. Every little bit helps, and Pooh needs all of our help at this time.

Again, thank you for all of your love and support. I feel truly blessed to have found you all.

Oh! And, go Gilmore Girls! We are kicking Dr. Who's kiester!

It's true. Just so you know; I may be cheap, but I'm not easy.
Okay, well, maybe a little easy...

WOOT!

A Fanfic-On-Demand fundraiser is in the works for friends of Stacie (That's truelovepooh  to you and me).  The gist of the project is that authors in any fandom are invited to write a short fic on demand. The highest bidder gets to deliver the fic challenge to the author they’ve “won,” along with the story’s pairing, the rating, and other pertinent details (within reason and within the author’s stated fandom and limitations - i.e., some authors prefer not to write smut).  The author will be given up to 30 days to finish the fic, beginning with the day that payment is received.  Details will be forthcoming, but if you are interested in being one of the authors, please let me know!  This will be a fun project designed to challenge the author and entertain their fans while raising money for a great cause.  

I'm already in. You'll see me on the auction block, and I hope to see you there too!
