> By the way, any time you want to raise money for a favorite charity, I'll be happy to raid my camera fund to bid on a story! Just let me know a bit ahead of time so I can juggle the budget and where to bid and I'd so do my best to place the winning bid!

I haven't put my name into any of those recently mostly because of all the old request lists I still haven't finished; I feel guilty. But it's my goal to clear all of those by my birthday. Then we'll see.

> ETA: Pardon, I don't mean to be a pain by continuing to reply, I just really enjoy discussing fandom with you. Pity you and maevebran live so far away, I'd really enjoy meeting the two of you for coffee and geekiness every once in a while.

I don't mind! It's not a pain; they're interesting conversations. maevebran is about the only person I have to discuss fandom with locally, too, which is problematic at times as we have very different focus areas in our chosen fannish spaces. =)
