harping on hope_in_sight again

[femmealunettes]

I know, I know, it's only been four days, there's still a solid week to get your bids in... but come on, people, I'm getting all self-conscious about the fact that I'm offering podfic for the top five bidders and only one person has bothered to bid! Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I do a damn good podfic. You know you want your favorite story in this suave storytelling voice, don't lie.

The Noah's Ark quilt is newly finished, and it would make a great Christmas gift for a kid you know! :D

The polka dot quilt is also finished and doesn't have any bids... I know I can't be the only person who thinks that it's cute! It would also make a good Christmas gift. Hint, hint... >.>

The next ones to be finished are the rubber ducky one (which has a bid!) and the pink plaid/ribbon print, which does not. Even if all the quilts only go for $10, that's still making more for Sarina than the fleece cost us, so that's good... I just hope a couple will sell for more than that.

Did I set the minimums too high, or is everybody just waiting to the last minute so they won't get outbid? I clearly didn't have that strategy when I went bidding right after midnight all over the place. xD

This is part of the reason I suck at auctions. The waiting kills me! At least I have something to keep me busy... making more of the quilts. xD


What else COULD be keeping me busy is my Yuletide fic... but I have asked my recipient for more information on what she'd like, as I've never written this fandom before, and she has... basically ignored my request for the past two weeks. So whatever, if she doesn't want to throw me a bone then she'll just have to put up with whatever I come up with on my own. FRUSTRATING.

So... I'm going to go watch Supernatural and knot some fleece instead of worrying about any of that any more.

The only reason I'm not bidding is because I have no job right now.

[speccygeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

That's a pretty solid reason.

Honestly, podfic kinda weirds me out.

[speccygeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

I don't really listen to much of it, but I do enjoy making it.

Testify!

I can personally vouch that Speccy's podfics are Teh Awesome. In fact, if ya'll don't step up, I's'a buy all five, biatches! And then you'll be podficless and sorry. I'll just sit in my living room wrapped up in my fleece blanket listening to podfic and cackling over my Tarot reading. Mwah ha ha!

xD!!!

I love your podfic but all my fic is over your min wordcount. And too porny to be comfortable listening to.

And I'm also waiting for the last minute to bid in general from now on.

[speccygeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

For you, I would bend the word count limit. And that's not an attempt to get you to bid, just a statement of fact. xD

I'm sorry -- I totally didn't see the offer for podfic before. I'm definitely in for that -- how long would the podfic be, and is it just your stories, or are you offering others as well?

Actually, could you walk me through the steps for bidding? Awhile back I tried to bid on Chi's Support Stacy auction, and I couldn't figure out how to make it work since I don't have a paypal account of my own. Any way around that?

[speccygeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

I'll read any story up to 5000 words, as long as you're the author or you have express permission from the author for me to do it. (I actually can't do most of my own stories, because I can't read porn out loud without breaking into really immature giggles, and the great majority of what I write is porn!)

I don't know how to make it work without a paypal account... the instructions are laid out in the profile page for the auction, hope_in_sight, and I don't know if there's a provision for paypallless people. I'm not going to see the money, it goes right to megmatthews20.
