sara-and-mila:

Hello all! It’s been decided that we could all use a bit more milasara in our lives, so I’m pleased to announce a gift exchange for our girls (and us). 

What it is: 

After signing up, you will be matched with another participant to make a gift for, and someone else will start on your present! While there will be minimum requirements, this event is meant to be small and stress-free. 

Requirements: 

• it involves milasara
• fics should be 400+ words long
• art should consist of a detailed sketch or a simple colored piece 
• poetry and other gifts are also welcome
• please plan to devote 2-4 hours to crafting your gift! 

Schedule:

• Sign up by 11:59 PM EST Sunday, December 8 
• You will be matched your gift recipient by Wednesday, December 12
• Check in with the event organizer (me!) by Sunday, December 23 with a detailed concept, sketch, outline, or draft to make sure you’re still participating and able to finish your gift. 
• Gifts will be exchanged on Sunday, December 30! 

How to sign up: 

Just fill out this form!

Can ya’ll feedback on an idea?

I wanted to raise some money for a women’s shelter overseas that is in desperate need of a new playground for the babies. Before I left, we got a tiny grant for some stuff but it was not able to cover shipping costs (complicated bureaucratic issue). A group of us is thinking of just funding the shipping on our own. There’s around ten of us that volunteered consistently and probably a few more that have taken over now, so we can each chip in and get it done! The current playground is rusty and dangerous. I want to make a donation, but I have family that I’m also helping out and, as such, probably can’t offer too much. So, I figured… maybe I can work for some money to supplement my contribution!

The idea was to —

Auction 5 envelopes with super cute Christmas cards AND a printed, super secret, completely unique 3k piece of fiction, can either be fanfiction OR original (your call, doing original too for anyone lurking that isn’t into YoI but still follows me here awaiting for news on other stuff).

Sort of like a MYSTERY ENVELOPE only with stories! 🙂

Bids would start at $6 (is that reasonable?).

I could also do a few shorter e-pieces for anyone worried about shipping costs (envelopes tend to be lower in cost but I know it’s hard to front international shipping costs). But I kind of liked the idea of the mystery in receiving something physical, printed.

Sharing the post is welcome. Your feedback is super appreciated. If there’s no interest, then I’ll have to get smarter and figure out other fundraising ideas. But I think it’d be great to have the women and kids know there’s something coming their way for the holidays.

For those that have been following this space, this is the same shelter I was helping at before. 💖 I’m happy to discuss a few details privately, but to protect the people in question (some are sad cases of human trafficking, fam), no pictures are taken and I wouldn’t be sharing any, so if that’s a point of discomfort, please let me know, but that wouldn’t be changing, given that the shelter is clear about no pictures on social media.

Thanks for your time, fam!

Hello, everyone!

We have been inactive for a long time, but I plan to revive this blog. As such, I am accepting self-promos and recs of fics under 1k kudos for the next 24 hours, until 23:00 EST. The ask box is open.

Personally I am interested in foklore, reincarnation, fake dating, slowburn, soulmate, and pacific rim AUs but fics need not to be those. I can’t promise to get to all of them but I need at least a headstart.

Hey everyone! I’m putting up my beta skills up for auction :3 I’m dual native English/Russian, so you get a heckin’ good combo of my proofreading for fun and Russian phrase checking all rolled into one! I’m pretty flexible and can even get onto voice chat to say stuff to you in Russian out loud, so hit me up if you have any questions or queries.
