Here's where we're going to put ALL the Q&A for this community. Feel free to ask questions about anything and we'll try to help you out.

1. Where can I find more information on the current charity?

http://www.plannedparenthood.org/

2. Where can I donate for the charity?

Here.

3. Can I donate without being a part of the auction?

ABSOLUTELY! Please. Help in any way you can! I'm sure that the charity would love your help no matter when it comes to them.

4. What are the dates of this auction?

Posting of Offers Ends: 11:59pm EST February 13
Bidding Begins: 12:01am EST February 14

You can use this handy form to post to your LJ!



6. Can I post even though I don't have a Dreamwidth account?

Absolutely. Use open id to post - More Information Here! My tutorial here. FYI - Links and images will display as text only as DW has a policy preventing them being displayed as clickable links to prevent spam. Sorry :-/

7. When should items be delivered by?

No more than six months. Some things require a large amount of time to complete so if you think it will take longer than six months, put your time information in your notes to the bidder.

8. How does donation/confirmation work for this auction?

The bidder is responsible for going to the site and donating whatever your winning auction price is. Then you would email your confirmation email/screen (whichever is easiest for you) to the author/vidder/etc and they would post on your auction thread that you'd completed the donation.

9. Can I donate to a Planned Parenthood type organization in my own country instead?

Absolutely! If you don't live in the United States and want to support your country's family planning organization, that would be great.


Please see new post on this. Sorry for the confusion

Any further questions, comment below and we'll answer ASAP!

So ... I've not done one of these before, and as I was reading the other fanfic offers I wondering if there's a place to read about how the bidding works? ~ It seems some are offering multiple fics, or length based on winning bid, or a "variety of sizes" .. and I have no idea what to offer.

er ... yeah, I got the fandom thing, and the length thing. What I didn't (still don't) get (grins) is the Minimum Bid thing. Can I say, "200 word drabbles to anyone who donates $5"? Or am I supposed to offer something geared toward a single donor?

You can do either! Or do two posts. One for highest bidder with a larger word count and the other for drabbles. Whatever you're comfortable with. I'm just glad you're helping! Thanks so much for asking! :)
