Live Long and Marry



[livejournal.com profile] livelongnmarry, co-modded by the lovely [livejournal.com profile] rachelmanija, is hosting a fandom auction to raise money for marriage equality, particularly the nasty bit of state-constitution revision coming up in California.

What is this?
Live Long And Marry is a fandom auction to benefit marriage equality. Bidding begins on July 1, 12:01 Pacific Time, 2008, and closes on July 15, 12:01 Pacific Time, 2008. Please do not bid until bidding opens.

What's the cause?
The auction will raise money for the fight against the California initiative which will legally destroy existing same-sex marriages and ban any further ones. If the initiative passes, it will write discrimination into the state constitution, annull existing marriages, and make Mr. Sulu cry.

How can I help?
You can bid on fanfic, original fic, vids, cookies, memorabilia, critique/betas, and much more! Or you can offer your skills and services as a writer, vidder, baker, knitter, or whatever else you'd like.


I'm really tempted by [livejournal.com profile] yhlee's PK!fic offer. Because Paper Knives is awesome!

Am contemplating an offer of my own, but I don't think any of my skills are really up to marketable quality. I can't write on demand (Yuletide was... scary), and my critting is very casual and amateur. Alas.

And yes, I'm tagging this 'sexism.' It does qualify under the etymological definition, perhaps maybe?
