rachelmanija &
ladyganesh have started
livelongnmarry, a fandom auction to support marriage equality.
From the community profile:
What is this?
Live Long And Marry is a fandom auction to benefit marriage equality. Bidding begins on July 1, 2008, and closes on July 15, 2008.
What's the cause?
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.
How can I help?
You can bid on fanfic, original fic, vids, cookies, memorabilia, critique/betas, and much more! Or you can offer your skills and services as a writer, vidder, baker, knitter, or whatever else you'd like.
Spread the word! Hop on over to the community and see what's currently up on the auction block. (But remember, bidding's not open yet!) Plan, get some ideas, what have you.
I'll donate something - just not sure what yet. Maybe a box of homemade baked goodies?

“Last I knew, he and my mother were in the Midwest somewhere,” Cleo said. “I’m not sure either of the numbers I have are good anymore – Mom’s is disconnected, again, and no one picks up on Thom’s.”
darling:
“He’s a raving religious lunatic,” Cleo told her, and Nikki chuckled. “No, seriously. He’s given his soul to God and his brain with it.”

Slog. Slog. More plot. Slog.
More tomorrow.
