Fannish auctions to raise money for areas in the southern United States affected by the devastating tornadoes on April 27th.

Parts of northern Japan still look like a warzone. Hundreds of thousands of people are still living in emergency shelters. Shortages of food, water, gas, and medical supplies are an ongoing problem. Here's a second chance both to offer and to bid on auctions to help Japan.

In case anybody reading this is still poo-pooing the idea of fandom auctions to raise money for real-world causes, let me just remind you that the first round of auctions at [livejournal.com profile] help_japan raised over $45,000 that was donated directly to groups working on relief efforts in Japan.
