<br />
First of all...<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">THANK YOU.</span></div>
<br />
Thank you all so very much for your donations, time, items, effort, communication, understanding...<i>EVERYTHING</i>.<br />
<br />
So much went into this auction, and for a tiny little group like ours doing this on a volunteer fundraising whim to help out a friend in time of tragedy, it got real big, real fast. There were hiccups and some bumps in the road, but we cranked it up a notch and got over them. We didn't expect to raise $500.00, and when we passed that mark on the very first night the auction was live, we thought $1000.00 was a lofty goal.<br />
<br />
That was also blown out of the water.<br />
<br />
As was the $2000.00 mark. At the $3000.00 mark and with offers of items for bidding still rolling in, we decided to keep it going with a second round of Evil Auction items. We never really intended this to go over a week, let alone the whole month! So we limited it to two rounds, and finally we had to start turning offers down, though we were no less grateful for them!<br />
<br />
Two rounds was plenty! More than, given how much this little auction brought in.<br />
<br />
The final tally of bids for both Round One and Round Two came to <i><b>over $5000.00</b></i>.<br />
<br />
We here at the Evil League of Evil Writers know some amazing folk, and I don't think any of us realized just how long we could reach when we extended our collective hands.<br />
<br />
And it wasn't just us. It was all of you as well. All your blogging and retweeting and Facebooking and emailing and bidding...all of it. Thank you.<br />
<br />
The Evil Auction is closed for bidding now, but it's far from over. Winners and donors will be contacted about their various items and so on. There still eviltry to accomplish, but for the moment we can kick back with our mojitos and smile (evilly, of course) at the havoc we've wreaked.<br />
<br />
We also wanted to let you all know the awesome evil you've accomplished here with us. We couldn't have done this without all of you. We set out to be Bad Guys for Crestline, and we have done so. In the words of Captain Malcolm Reynolds of <i>Serenity</i>, "We have done the impossible, and that makes us mighty."<br />
<br />
Shiny, people.<br />
<br />
Shiny.<br />
<br />
With Evil,<br />
Dina, Skyla, and the Evil League of Evil Writers<br />

<br />
We are so, so grateful for all of the support everyone has given this fundraiser over the past two and a half weeks. We've had over ninety listings for everything from signed books to manuscript critiques, to knitted and crocheted goods to even Tim Tams.<br />
<br />
When Dina and I first decided to do this, our fellow members of the <a href="http://www.evilwriters.com/">Evil League of Evil Writers</a> were quick to throw in their support, each offering several items and services and giving us a great base to launch the auction from. We were hoping to raise $500 and maybe--MAYBE--$1000. But as word of the auction spread, things snowballed, and we're well over $4500 in pledges (about $3200 from the first round has been paid already). And people still ask if they can donate items for listings.<br />
<br />
At this point, however, the auction is closing on its second round and we're not doing a third.<br />
<br />
We love Lili, we love helping her son's school, and we love all of the support you've given. But we're also volunteers, I work full time, and we'd rather end with some strong support than keep it going a few more weeks and have visibility trickle down to just a few hits a day (which happens with charitable things). As much as we hate turning anyone away, there have been two and a half weeks in which to give, so we're officially closed to new offerings now.<br />
<br />
There are nearly <a href="http://evilauction.blogspot.ca/p/live-auctions.html">thirty offerings</a> still up for bid. Please have a look and grab some great, unique items--there's something for everyone.<br />
<br />
If you boost the signal in any way, remember you can go in a draw for a library of ebooks by the Evil League of Evil Writers--just fill in the form <a href="http://evilauction.blogspot.ca/p/spread-word.html">here</a>. If you glance through the homepage, you'll find some unclaimed items from the last round you can steal for their top pledges. And, finally, if you don't end up winning anything, please donate directly to the school (see <a href="http://evilauction.blogspot.ca/p/more-ways-you-can-help.html">more ways you can help</a>).<br />
<br />
Thank you again to everyone. Even if we haven't had a chance to thank you directly, we've seen every RT, every mention, and probably every blog post, and we greatly appreciate the support.<br />
<br />
Stay Evil,<br />
<br />

<h4>
What You Are Bidding On:</h4>
<br />
DORK TOWER is for anybody who’s ever been burned being an early adapter; who's made more Twitter tweets than actual Twitter followers; who’s ever gone to a Star Trek convention; who's ever played Dungeons and Dragons; who suspects Anime is more than just a passing ad; and who's been fragged by a Gravity Hammer in Halo III -- or anyone who KNOWS one of these people.<br />
<br />
But it’s REALLY for people who know the significance of "42," who have bookmarked more than one area of thinkgeek.com; who've memorized very lyric to Jonathan Coulton's ouvre; who've cataloged which Classic Trek episodes involved the Prime Directive; and who know the names of six people and a cat that make regular appearances in Wil Wheaton's blog. And, of course, it's for people who know that HAN SHOT FIRST!<br />
<br />
DORK TOWER the multi-award-winning story of Matt, Igor, Ken, Carson the Muskrat (yes, he’s a muskrat) and Gilly, the Perky Goth. They’re trapped in a world they never made… but are nevertheless striving to create a realistic yet playable simulation thereof!<br />
<br />
In this auction, get the first three collected editions of the hilarious Dork Tower webcomic featured on GeekDad/Wired -- signed by John Kovalic!!! http://www.dorktower.com<br />

We were able to get in touch with all but five, and their winnings are now forfeit.<br />
<br />
The winning bids were, in some cases, significantly higher than the other bids--these five items accounted for <b>over $450</b>. As this is a fundraiser and, obviously, we'd like to raise as much money as possible, we're now putting up for grabs all those items for the next twenty-four hours to ANYONE who's willing to pay top bids. After that, we'll go down the list of the next highest bidders, if there were any. So please, swoop in and steal the unclaimed!<br />

We discovered this weekend that Crestline donations seem to be done manually, which means staff on their end must be around to process payments. We don't want another repeat of winners waiting three days for their payments to go through because it's a weekend; scheduling the end for a business day seems like the best bet.<br />
<br />
Auction listings originally ending February 22 will be changed throughout the day; we apologize for any inconvenience.Skyla Dawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02094497198550621780noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390963021178640813.post-14533442362861085082013-02-16T10:52:00.000-08:002013-02-16T10:52:06.335-08:00A Notice for Auction Winners <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #222222;">Auction Winners: </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">It's come to our attention that email confirmation of payment to Evergreen School District Foundation is somewhat delayed, and there's a chance they could be sent manually by staff; </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">as their offices are currently closed through Monday, February 18, the time to make your payment has been extended to Thursday, February 21 (72 business hours from Monday the 18th). </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">We at the ELEW apologize for this unforeseen delay in getting you your items, and appreciate your patience!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">With Eviltry,</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Dina, Skyla, and the Evil Auction</span></span>Skyla Dawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02094497198550621780noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390963021178640813.post-58590322919424931562013-02-15T19:34:00.001-08:002013-02-18T10:01:06.171-08:00Winning Bidders We're Unable to ContactAbout half of our winning bidders didn't leave us an email address or way to contact them; some blogger/Google+ profiles might have info about you, but if there's no email address, we can't, um, email you.<br />

<br />
<b>Please</b> keep an eye on the listings you've bid on and ensure there is an email address or some way to contact you if you're the top bidder. You are responsible for ensuring we can find you easily. If a comment is anonymous and no email address given, we will move to the next highest bidder.<br />
<br />
When the auction has closed, Skyla and Dina will begin contacting the winning bidders (please have patience--there are many!) with information regarding payment options. You are to pay Crestline directly. Once you've forwarded us the email confirmation of your payment, we will put you in touch with the person who offered what you've won.<br />
<br />
If 72 hours have passed from us notifying you and we haven't heard from you, we will move on to the next highest bidder. Please check your spam folders and watch for our email.<br />
<br />
Also be sure to double check the listings you've bid on for any shipping restrictions or minimum bids. If you bid on a listing lower than the suggested minimum bid, the "seller" is not required to agree to it. In this case, there will be no payment made to the school.<br />
<br />
If you did not win but would still like to donate, have a look at the many other auctions (and more are to come!) or visit the page above called "More Ways to Help" for direct donation links.Skyla Dawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02094497198550621780noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390963021178640813.post-12999213577311169302013-02-15T15:50:00.001-08:002013-02-22T09:18:00.250-08:00Offered: Website Design & Development from Brendan Gannon<br />

She is a writer who creates entire universes just so she can destroy them. She has a science fiction adventure series under contract. Books 1 (Nexus Point) and 2 (Priestess of the Eggstone) are available to read and enjoy. Book 3 (Poisoned Pawn) is coming in April. Her short stories range from silly horror to science fiction to weird fantasy to anything in between. Evil writers don't limit themselves to one genre. Her day job involves starship simulators, an inflatable planetarium, and lots of impressionable young minds (i.e. school children). She loves to create evil creatures in yarn, as evidenced by her offering for this auction. She is happy to corrupt you, too.

You are bidding on an guest blog spot and unbiased review of your book at <a href="http://falcatatimes.blogspot.com/">Falcata Times</a>. This is open to all authors (including self-published) though books must be in English. Books will need to be delivered in mobi (Kindle) or hard copy.<br />

If we haven't heard back from you within forty-eight hours, we'll send one more email (check your spam folders) and if nothing is heard twenty-four hours after that, we'll move to the next highest bidder.Skyla Dawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02094497198550621780noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390963021178640813.post-44237761758838957952013-02-14T09:00:00.014-08:002013-02-22T09:23:10.502-08:00Offered: Edit of Five Thousand Words by Chuck Wendig<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
