I've pimped livelongnmarry before. - a fandom auction in support of gay marriage. And of course I'd be pleased if more people bid on my auction... but I'd be even more pleased if you went and donated in aid of something that floats your boat. But I feel that it's worth mentioning that new auctions keep rolling in... and they're pretty damn impressive. People keep falling over themselves to offer interesting, creative, unique, and just plain weird stuff. You can have a specialist critique for your novel from a lawyer or a dominatrix. You can acquire anything from jewelry, over regular letters to care packages from around the world; from obscure japanese candy to - of course - fanfic/icon design/webdesign. *Lots* of good stuff. I am impressed not just by the generosity of people donating for a good cause, but by their inventiveness. Many members of my flist are offering. I hope that some of you will bid. And yes, maybe there are more worthy causes on the planet - there always are, *whatever* you choose, and if you wait to help the neediest person in the world before you help anyone else, nothing will ever get done. But what impresses me is the way in which people rally from all over the planet to contribute to making the world a better place. And, y'know, that spirit is going to rub off.
