There's a project called Con or Bust<\/a> that provides financial aid to \"fans of color who want to attend SFF conventions, principally WisCon\" (to quote the Intro statement).<\/p>\n

They raise money via a LiveJournal-based fundraising auction. Which ends tonight! I'm sorry not to have mentioned it sooner.<\/p>\n

Kate N provided instructions a while back on how to browse auctions<\/a> and how to bid on an auction<\/a> (even if you don't have an LJ account), as well as other how-tos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are many cool things being auctioned. I want to point particularly to the items from the WisCon guests of honor:<\/p>\n

Mary Anne is offering to critique your book<\/a>, provide handmade curry powder and cookbook<\/a>, or have a private lunch with you at WisCon<\/a>. (Those are three separate items.)<\/p>\n

Nnedi is offering two copies of The Shadow Speaker<\/cite> with author doodles<\/a>. (Two separate items; top two bidders each get one.)<\/p>\n

There are a bunch of other things and services in the auction: February list<\/a>, March list<\/a>. Books; handmade jewelry and clothing; food items; a custom website built for you; an original musical composition based on your prompt; DVDs; magazine subscriptions; art (including commissioned art of your choice); poetry; manga; custom-written fanfic; bunches of other stuff. Go check it out!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
