My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in the path of hurricane Rita. Please stay safe! *hugs*

A belated Happy Birthday to the_royal_anna!! I hope you had a wonderful day, Anna. *smooches*

Sign-ups are now been taken over at seasonal_spuffy. This is a new community, which has been started by itmustbetuesday. So what are you waiting for? Get over there now! :)

I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. I wish I could offer a contribution myself, but as I don't write fanfic and am terrible at making graphics, you'll have to make do with my support and feedback instead. *g*

Fans of James Marsters ("Spike" in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel")
across the Internet have been touched by the plight of the victims of Hurricane
Katrina and want to do something to help.

In response, they are listing collectibles on eBay (through the Mission Fish
program) with 100 percent of the final sales price slated for the American Red
Cross and its hurricane relief effort

The first listings were posted on Sept. 6. All items start at $10, which is
the minimum Mission Fish requires to collect for charity.

See the auctions at:

Please consider placing a bid to help the hurricane victims and get a neat
collectible for yourself in the process.


Thank you.

Pass it on -

Over the years, James Marsters fans have proven themselves to be among the
most warmhearted and generous folks one could ever know.

Now, the people whose lives have been disrupted by Hurricane Katrina need our
help.

The U.S. government is estimating that this may be the costliest cleanup in
U.S. history. But, of course, there's no way to put a price tag on the cost in
human lives and suffering.

What we're asking is that James Marsters fans ban together to help raise
funds for the relief effort.

A temporary Yahoo group at

http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/jm_katrina/

has been set up to coordinate efforts. This is an open group. There are no
membership requirements to view the board.

If you are a Yahoo list owner or a board moderator and would like to help
coordinate things for the group, just email me and I'll add your name as a
moderator to this list.

Basically, we want to provide information to people interested in making
their own individual monetary donations to their charity of choice.

We also want to encourage fund-raisers. The Bloody Awful Poet Society and
Support Spike will be holding some eBay auctions to help bring in money. 100
percent of the proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross in honor of
James Marsters.

If you are a member of a JM/Spike group and would like to organize a
fund-raiser on your board, please tell us about it on the new Yahoo list.

As the Red Cross is saying, no amount is too small for a donation. Please
help.

And please repost this throughout the fandom -- email groups, boards, LJs.

Thank you.
