Live long and marry

I love the idea of [livejournal.com profile] livelongnmarry - in their own words:

"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, annull existing marriages, and make Mr. Sulu cry."

I'm down with that. I don't want Mr Sulu to cry!

On offer are bespoke items such as clothing, jewellery, cosmetics, handcrafted wooden dildos (!!), food, fanfic, original fic, fanart, vids and story/novel critques and poetry. Also, dramatic readings of stories! Webhosting, wands, music compositions, Japanese-English translations, perfume, wedding samplers, autographed books and hand knitted socks.

Basically I'm tempted by everything. Bidding starts on July 1 and ends on July 15.

There are some seriously imaginative offers out there.

Are you going to offer fic?

I know! The minds of fen are strange and wonderful places. It is quite stunning.

I am working myself up to offering fic, yes. I think need to look at how people are pricing themselves first.

Hurray! I want to be non-shy enough to offer fic too!
