I'll mostly be posting about this in ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) halcyon_shift because it's not, you know, strictly vidding. But it is partially vidding and that's grey area enough for me. If you already read halcyon_shift, you've seen this, you're excused.
First came the post
Coming up on a year ago now, a friend of mine ( and many, many others ) died of complications related to HIV.
She was this fantastic woman. You hear about people who never complain and are always cheerful in the face of horrible things - stuff that most people are lucky enough never to even imagine - but I never expected to know someone who was actually that brave or centered or downright incredible or funny. And I did. And ( like many, many others ), I miss her.
I could pretty much wax eloquent about her on and on (or not so eloquent, but she did teach me how to swear a little in Spanish so I could do that maybe) - but that's not really the point of the post. I'm going to be trying to raise some money to donate to her favoured charity but all I have to sell, more or less, is me.
And doccy's kidney, but Ebay is so unreasonable about these things.
So ... I'm gonna put up a little bid thing for a vid, a fic and a php script or a couple of vids and a fic or, honestly, whatever the hell people want from my ho-like self - let me know. Even if you don't want to bid (and Lord knows I know money is tight everyplace), pimping me out to passing millionaires is still fantabulous and appreciated.
On a far out chance, if there are any writers or vidders or artists out there that feel they have the time to sell themselves to the highest bidder in the name of charity pleaseplease comment or email me (lithiumdoll[AT]alter-idem[DOT]com) and I will find my fine purple pimp hat. It has a feather.
The charity that would receive the donation is an American organisation called RAINN: http://www.rainn.org/
It turned out that far out chances are closer than they look and people are basically fantabulous and it's not just me for sale.
Then came the site
Sweet Charity is now up and running.
If you have the mad (or perhaps just eccentric) skillz in vidding, writing or drawing/graphics, and the time to use them, please consider letting me sell you. Wait, that came out wrong. Please consider letting me rent you out. Yes, that's much better. If you don't, please pimp it out to anyone you think may. It's all good, and it's all going to be helping someone. |
