Friends and acquaintances have responded to the vidding offer with almost $900 in charitable donations so far. I have a good feeling we will reach $1,000 by the time things wrap up on Sunday.

Thoughts at this moment: I am yet again proud to be part of this community. I am proud to have reached a point in my fannish "career" where people like my vids enough to want to participate in a drive of this kind. I feel like I'm doing something useful.

I'm looking forward to finding out who the "winners" are and what we will make together.

Wooo exciting! Also I really appreciate the format of "largest donation + lottery", I haven't seen many auction offers that balance both incentivizing high donations and also donating whatever one can simultaneously. :-)

Oh, good, good, that was the hope. Once upon a time I did an auction for a con and I haven't forgotten how a pair of friends were sad their best offer was outbid early on.
