This idea is so brilliant that I’m stealing it.
@conversationswithjohnlock has offered to bid on behalf of someone in the Sherlock fandom who doesn’t have the funds to bid in the @fandomtrumpshate auction. I would like to do the same.
So here’s how it works:
If you would like to bid, but are unable to do so, send me an ask or a message. On Saturday, January 13 at about 7:00 p.m PST, I will choose one person at random. I will contact that person (keep your lines of communication open!) That person will place a bid for any Sherlock-related fic or art or whatever, and I will cover that bid up to a total of $50.
I won’t tell anyone who you are except the FTH people, who will need to see my proof of donation.
I know that $50 isn’t a lot, but there’re still creators with no bids at all.
@conversationswithjohnlock , I hope you don’t mind, but I see this as a win for absolutely everybody.
As of now (Friday evening) I have had no takers on this offer, in case you were considering it.
And there are still a lot of good creators with surprisingly low bids.
@imnova I’m looking at you! And anyone else out there who’s been wanting to get involved with this auction, but just can’t spare the funds right now. This is a generous offer, for a good cause. You’re actually helping people out if you take @bluebellofbakerstreet up on it!
