We all hopefully are aware that Pakistan is experiencing a flood which is affecting 20 million people, 6 million of whom are now homeless. I don't know where you live, but that's more people than live in my entire province. Unlike Haiti, international response on this issue has been slow. People aren't galvanized, and people aren't giving.
But the internet is once again rising to the challenge. Like
help_haiti in the Haiti crisis,
help_pakistan has been created to auction off gifts of whatever our generous and talented internet community can provide. I've put in an offer of 2 fics of 2,000 words or one of 4,000 for any fandom I write for or another by inquiry, minimum bid $5. I will match the winning bid.
You can see my comment here. The closing date of the auction is next Saturday (the 28th) at 11:59 Eastern Standard Time.
