Signal Boost -- Con or Bust

[pameladean]

Auctions for Con or Bust are live now. You can get signed prints by Terri Windling, handmade scarves and shawls in gorgeous colors, a set of Sherwood Smith's Inda books, dozens more books of all sorts, from ARCs to old paperbacks, a critique of your fiction from a professional, and, though I don't happen to have seen any in my first pass, probably cookies.

Here is where:

http://con-or-bust.org/

And this is what:

"Con or Bust is administered by the Carl Brandon Society, a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to increase racial and ethnic diversity in the production of and audience for speculative fiction. Con or Bust isn't a scholarship and isn't limited by geography, type of con-goer, or con; its goal is simply to help fans of color go to SFF cons and be their own awesome selves."

I am hoping to put a couple of books up myself, but feel it would be better to locate them first and then offer them. If I manage to put an auction together, I'll post here to let you guys know. In the meantime, there is no shortage at all of amazing things to bid on.

. . . I could do chocolate chip cookies, if people wanted. (Also: thank you!)

My pleasure!

I can't encourage you too hard because I have too many dietary restrictions to eat regular cookies, though I do recall bidding on vegan cookies in past auctions. But I seriously doubt that an offer of cookies would go amiss. Then again, you'd have to make them in your Copious Free Time (TM).

Alas, I can do a dairy-free version, but I haven't perfected a vegan version yet.

It is tricky without eggses.
