Haiti

[harborshore]

skywardprodigal has a number of good links for donations over here, including Doctors Without Borders, who are already on the ground and working. I donated to them yesterday and plan on doing so again when my student aid comes in.

At Broadsheet, they point out that "Women and children first" is not as discriminatory as it might seem to be, and that organizations who are adopting this approach are doing so for very good reasons. The article also lists a number of organizations who are in Haiti at the moment and who could use the help.

Finally, and this has been linked everywhere, fandom is organizing an auction at help_haiti. I don't know if anyone will be interested, but my thread is over here. I'm offering a story of at least 2500 words, in any of the following: Bandom (MCR, MSI, PATD, The Young Veins, The Like, FOB, or another band if you are willing to brave my inexperience), DCU, Veronica Mars, BTVS, ATS, and crossovers of any of the previous. I tend toward happy endings, but am very willing to work with your preferences. I love writing rare pairings, so if there is a very odd pairing (such as an impossible crossover one) that you've been wanting, well. You lot know how I roll--if you feel like donating and making me write for you, here's your chance. The starting bid is ten dollars.

ETA: And I forgot to say this over there, but if there's something I haven't listed that you think I could do (like that magical-soup verse, for one, or other fandoms, or original fic), I'm also very open to suggestions.

(There are many very awesome people offering up services over there, and because of the wealth of options, some of them are going extremely cheaply.)

oh, hey--I don't tend to do those kinds of memes--I don't have nearly enough pictures to make it interesting, for one. But I'm glad you're donating to Haiti!
