Vera Nazarian, SFF writer, all round good person who helps new SFF writers, and editor of the lovely small press Norilana Books (which puts out anthologies like Clockwork Phoenix and Warrior Wisewoman) has had a really bad year. Long story short, her father died, her mother had cancer and is dependent on her, Vera herself is sick, and thanks to the economic meltdown, she's facing foreclosure on her home.
The community's rallied around her some, largely organized by AWers Gray Rose, Deirdre, and Stonetable. Very cool people are volunteering very cool things for auction here.
If you'd like to get neat christmas presents, or have anything you'd care to donate for auction, or could just spare a couple bucks for Vera, do please head over here.
I'm offering candles for auction, and also a high-res printable/colorable version of this drawing (when it's done) as a freebie to anyone who donates and sends me their email address:
Honor system applies
