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:

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.

daedala needs to find a good home or homes for her two cats. I have met these cats and looked after them, and I totally vouch for their cuteness, their affectionate natures, and their skill at wacky highjinks. Nyx is a black short-haired cat; she's three. Dippy is a brown long-haired cat; she is five. They get along fine, but do not have to be adopted together. Here's the link with details:

Nothing like this has ever happened before, so it's very exciting.  Here's the link to The Online Photographer, where the print sale is happening:

And here's the link to David's LJ if you want a brief introduction:

There's a large print of the photo in our dining room, and I very seldom pass it by without at least glancing at it.  I am biased, naturally, but I think it's an amazing photo.  Do take a look and see if it's the kind of thing you like.

Having just said in my previous post that I am mostly an all -elisem, all the time jewellery wearer, I thought I'd better post this.

Elise is having a sale to celebrate her birthday.  Do go look.  It's cheering just to gaze on her amazing pieces and see the titles that she gives them, each one a tiny story all on its own.
