Attn: Talented but poor people: Two ways to help relief efforts in Japan and the Pacific

help_japan on livejournal and help_japan on dreamwidth are two charity auctions where you can offer fannish (or non-fannish) gifts such as fic, art, food, graphics, audio, video, and all sorts of other services in order to raise money for tsunami relief efforts in Japan and in other affected parts of the Pacific as well.

If you would like to contribute to relief efforts but don't have money to donate at the moment, offering your talents in one of these auctions might be a good option. Past experience has taught me that these sorts of auctions can sometimes raise a lot of money (heck, somebody once paid $28,000 for some Twilight BNF's offer to write Edward/Bella porn!) and all of the proceeds go directly to charity.

I am participating in the LJ auction and offering both fic and a doujinshi translation service. :) Hope to see some of y'all there, too!
