In the beginning of January, Kelly has an important doctor's appointment at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. As we don't have a car, this requires us to take the Greyhound bus and stay for one night in a motel. Doable, but we're also on a very tight budget. We'll need about $200-$220 dollars for expenses. I've been doing odd jobs and babysitting for people for cash recently, since it works so well around my class schedule, and we should be able to save this up in the next few months but still, I thought I'd try my hand at gathering together more funds to ensure that we do what needs to be done.

I'm offering to write personal drabbles for anyone interested at $1 each. This means any fandom (or original work), pairing, theme, rating, characters, or whatever of your choice. You call all the shots and I'll write it. If you're worried that I might not know the fandom, ask me and I can let you know. This is for as many as you like, whatever you like. Just $1 per 100 words (and if you want an actual fic, something longer, let me know and we can negotiate something). It will be sent to you (and/or posted, depending on your wants) within three days. You can find more of my fandom works over here.

Kelly is also offering their writing and editing skills over here.

Again, this is not an emergency or anything of the like. I am just doing what I can to gather as much as we can for expenses for this rare trip and appointment.

If you know anyone who might be interested, send them on over.

Also, if anyone is aware of really inexpensive motels or cab companies in Iowa City, please let us know! Never hurts to make sure we're going with our best options available.

Thanks!

Ooh ooh ooh ooh Gina Sophia/Natalie adorableness! Pretty please? I will pay however much it winds up being up to ten dollars. And also what do you want for Christmas?

[geena]

asdfghjkl; you are amazing. Do you want it to be any length, then, whatever happens to come out? Any specific time period or type of adorableness? Any specifics at all?

As for Christmas, I have no idea what to say. I have a wishlist, though, and there are both inexpensive and easy things on it? WHY ARE YOU SO AWESOME?

When it comes to books, is there anything you don't like? Same question, only regarding cookies this time.

[bookblather]

Whatever length happens to come out! Ooh, perhaps adorableness with baked goods? I would like to see them solidly together, so obviously after the first date and all awkwardness. But apart from that, I'm okay with anything you come out with.

Send me your wishlist! Also, I like pretty much all books that are not nonfiction about science, math, finances, or politics. And I never met a cookie I didn't like. Ever. The more chocolate the better though.

[geena]

Yesssss, I totally have the perfect idea for them. Hopefully, you will die of adorable and sweetness.

Awesome, that is a huge help. I think we have your address, but I'll let you know in December if not. As for me, my wishlist is here It's separated into various categories, all on the left.

ilu.

I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS WITH GREAT GLEE.

[bookblather]

ps used books okay or do you want new?

[geena]

Oh god, all the used. I LOVE used books, for their smell, their feel, their previous lovedness, and definitely for how inexpensive they are.

I think you are a god, ngl.

Since I'm local to Iowa City, I can help out with pricing the motels if you like. I can also get bus schedules and such so that you're not FORCED onto cabs all the time. Plus, I have a car, if you're ok with that, so I could definitely do some ferrying around IC and maybe possibly even get you to IC if you want to give me some details about how far away you are. I can't offer bunk space, but anything else would be my pleasure!

Holy shit.

I need to talk to Kelly (they're asleep at the moment-- methadone withdrawal is awful), but at the very least, I'm sure we;ll have a few questions to ask of you.

You are all sorts of lovely and amazing for even offering any help at all.

[erika]

I added you on AIM (the username in your profile, i'm strangeQuarks) if you'd like to talk further via that about options. I'm also about to send you a PM. :D
