What is this?
equalityauction is a fandom charity auction in the style of Sweet Charity, Live Long & Marry, Help Haiti, and countless others. Fans offer works they can create to be bid on, the winning bidder makes a donation to charity and receives the work.
equalityauction is seeking to raise money because Black Lives Matter. While a few funds, charities, and causes will be suggested by this community, there is a long list that's accepting donations and any from it may be chosen.
A Few Funds, Charities, and Causes
As stated above, these are far from the only people, groups, and otherwise in need of donations. If there's a related local-to-you charity/fund in need, go for it!
NAACP Legal Defense Fund
Community Bail Fund
ACLU
The Trevor Project
Kentucky Reproductive Freedom Fund
Southern Poverty Law Center
Official George Floyd Memorial Fund
Justice for Breonna Taylor
Some Additional Guidelines & Information:
No physical items allowed. Many postal systems are still beleaguered by COVID-19 and any shipping right now, especially international, is iffy.
All participants in this auction must be 18 or older. As such, there are no restrictions on offering explicit content.
Moderators reserve the right to remove any auction for any reason.
Harassment of any participant will not be tolerated.
For ease of language, "work" and "item" may be used interchangeably to refer to whatever is being offered, be it fanfiction, podfic, x-picking, beta services, fanart, etc.
Timing on delivery of item(s) won is between creator and winner.
There is no limit on the number of items a single creator can offer, but please be practical.
Participation is limited to creators, buyers, and bidders with Dreamwidth accounts. Dreamwidth accounts are free to create. (A confirmed OpenID account is a Dreamwidth account.)
Prices should be listed in $USD, bidding increments should be no less than $1USD.
How It Works:
For one week, creators offer items for either auction or as "Buy-It-Now". Once that week ends, bidding (or Buying) begins. For "Buy-It-Now" items, the creator has set a price and the first person to agree to that price wins. (Note: Creators may, for example, offer three identical items for the first three buyers.) For auctions, bidding is done by commenting to the auction listing. The next bidder replies to the high bid with their own, higher bid. At the end, the highest bidder wins the item.
Donations can be made immediately upon confirmation of either winning a Buy-It-Now or auction. (Instructions for confirmation will be updated in the near future.)
