Live Long and Marry



[livejournal.com profile] livelongnmarry is a fandom auction to benefit marriage equality. Bidding begins on July 1, 2008, and closes on July 15, 2008. Offers of items to auction being accepted now.

The auction will raise money for the fight against the California initiative which will legally destroy existing same-sex marriages and ban any further ones. If the initiative passes, it will write discrimination into the state constitution and annul existing marriages between same-gendered couples.

I've got two items in the auction so far: an autographed copy of my book and a chance to comission fanfiction from me in the Torchwood/Doctor Who, Harry Potter or Kushiel's Dart universe.

You know you want to!

I wish I had $100 I could spare. I'd hit that "buy it now" on the fic so hard that heads would spin come July 1. But seeing as I'd ask you to write Snape/Peter, it may be a good thing that I don't have $100 right now :x.

I actually probably could come up with something for Snape/Peter, although it's never one of those things that pops into my head.

hehehe. I'll be very curious to see what I wind up writing off of that.

I bet you'd write Peter very, very well. you know, I think I'm gonna bid on this, but I'll probably be outbid :(. Ah well.

Well wait til the end and you can snipe it. I'll add Peter to the list just for you.

*glee!* Though alas, I think I couldn't go higher than $25.

But yes. I will try!

1)I didn't offer, I just said I could.
2)Canada Day is sacred to me, and commerce should not conducted on it, which makes this a subtle form of religious discrimination.
3)I got really excited and didn't read the directions.
4)It wasn't me, I got phished by a Nigerian warlord.

hahahahaah, okay. I'm going to delete the comment anyway, because it will cause confusion and chaos, cool? Plus if someone wins it right away I may add a second one in.

Tactical note to self: sometimes confusion and chaos can be bad things.

Hahahah. yes. You just sort of channeled John Hart there.

I was just talking to Marilyn (from regency dancing) about the TW picnic and she said if she ever dressed up it would be as John Hart which I found terribly amusing.

Hahahahaah. Hahahahaah. Oh god that is so awesome. Also, she's another short one right? Bloody shame it's so damn hard to do anything about the jacket. Because I have a shitty shitty katana she could borrow.

[identity profile] marchek.livejournal.com 2008-06-23 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually not short, kind of tall (or maybe its just because she's so lean that I think of her as taller than she is). For her, it's all about the jacket. She'll be at the Assembly this Saturday, maybe we can harrass her into joining us.

Ah, okay. I'm always getting confused over who is who... I think I know now.

And yeah, it is all about that jacket -- or at least what that jacket should be.
