Vampire Author Auction
Dec 27th, 2009 by Gioia
We’re delighted to announce a new auction coming January 15-18, 2010: The Vampire Author Auction!
The Vampire Author Auction is open to fanfic authors in any fandom which includes vampires. This includes (but is not limited to) fandoms such asTwilight, Southern Vampire Mysteries/True Blood, Angel/Buffy, Van Hellsing, Hellsing, Blade, Vampire Knight, Interview With A Vampire, Bram Stoker and more!
Not a part of a vampire fandom but still want to participate? No problem! First, keep in mind that we will still be holding the April Author Auction for members of any and all fandoms (though it may be taking place the last weekend of March, due to some procedures Stacie is scheduled to have in April. More on this at a later date.). Second, if you’d like to participate in the Vampire Author Auction and you are able to incorporate vampires into your auction fic, you’re welcome to join us! Whether you write a Harry Potter/Twilight crossover or write a Doctor Who fic which features Plasmavores, so long as vampires or vampirism is a part of your story, you are welcome to participate in this auction.
The author application form can be obtained HERE.
The auction dates are as follows:
Monday, January 11, 2010: Deadline for author registration forms
Friday, January 15, 2010, 11:59pm: Auction opens
Monday, January 18, 2010, 9:00pm: Auction closes
All times are Central Daylight Time (-6 GMT)
Auction payments are due no later than February 8, 2010. Within 30 days of the winning bidder’s payment, authors must produce their one-part story or the first chapter of a multi-chapter story, unless other arrangements are made in advance.
For those of you who are new to our auctions, this will be the 5th Author Auction held on behalf of Stacie Holeman (truelovepooh on LJ and in fandom). Stacie has been battling Stage III ovarian and breast cancer since March 2007 without the benefit of medical insurance. Because of her lack of insurance and over $400,000.00 in medical bills she has no access to hospital treatment and is receiving only the bare-minimum of chemotherapy. Stacie has some procedures taking place this spring which we are particularly hoping to pay for with this auction.
Thanks to the $81,048.80 raised by Support Stacie to date, Stacie has been able to pay for life-saving medication and medical care as well as pay for a few necessary surgical procedures. As a direct result of the treatment paid for by these auctions, her breast cancer appears to be improving. We have a long road ahead, though, particularly with the ovarian cancer. The need is great but we know the generosity and kindness of our online supporters is even greater.
The Author Auction serves as a writing challenge to the authors who sign up. Should you decide to join us, you would be auctioned off to write a fic on demand, within the boundaries you dictate. So, for example, you might commit to writing a 2,500-word story that sticks to your OTP. The winning bidder would then be able to send you a fic challenge and you would have 30 days to write the fic (or to write the first chapter, if it is over 2,500 words).
We are not selling fanfic. We are asking authors to continue to do what they have been doing – write public domain fanfic with all rights continuing to belong to the original copyright holders. The only difference is that in this case, the winning bidder is able to stipulate a writing challenge for their favorite author. As with all fanfiction, Support Stacie does not make any legal claims regarding the ownership of any fanfiction which results from these auctions.
