agt_spookyHey folks!

kazcon, coming up in August in Lawrence, Kansas, is looking for authors to take part in their Supernatural story auction. I've already signed up and I hope many of you will as well, especially since the donations will be made to the National Lung Cancer Partnership, in Kim Manners' name.
So take a look below at the announcement and all the info and then head on over to the author post and sign up! (Authors do NOT have to attend KazCon)
I won a story from the previous KazCon frommlebayre and it turned out great!

The KazCon 2009 committee is excited to announce the return of...
The KazCon Story Auction!
The KazCon committee is in need of your help! We are holding an 'Author Auction' to raise money for the National Lung Cancer Partnership. The donation will be made in honor of Kim Manners. What is an Author Auction, you ask?
Pretty much what it sounds like! You would enter yourself and the type of story you'd be willing to write (for example, gen or slash, AU, episode-related, etc) and we will auction you off to the KazCon attendees. After that, it will be up to you to correspond with the winning bidder and determine a deadline- if any- and where the story will be posted, etc. In essence, you are offering a promise that you will write a story for someone else. These auctions are so much fun, and it's for a great cause. Authors do NOT have to attend KazCon to be in the auction. (Bidders will have to attend, however).
So if you're in need of a plot bunny or you just want to help our tribute to Mr. Manners, respond with your pen name and the types of stories you do and do not want to write. For example:
Name: Black_Wingedbird
Email: black_wingedbird@yahoo.com
Website: www.black-wingedbird.com
I love to write stand-alone oneshots with lots of Sammy whumpage and Big Brother!Dean. I'll write crossovers but I have to be familiar with the characters. Story turnaround is usually less than three months.
Will not write: Wincest, deathfics, or abusive!John stories
Story Specs: I will write a 5000 word story in the next three months, based on the winning bidder's ideas. The story will be posted to my website and fanfiction.net and dedicated to the winner.
Don't want to write but have a plot bunny? The game works both ways.
You can offer to pay a set number of authors a certain amount of money in order for them to write a story to your specifications. For example:
"Dana Norris will pay $20 for every author (up to 5) who will write a story (minimum five pages, no max) in SPN fandom that does/has the following: Set in Season one before the season finale. Uses one of Sam's fears against him (ex: being afraid of clowns), Dean's protective, etc. NO SLASH, NO SHIP (or Het, or whatever SPN fandom calls it )"
Know of someone who might be interested? Pass the word!

It's for a great cause and everyone gets some great stories out of it, so it's win-win! :-)

Date: 2009-06-09 01:47 am (UTC)Yes, I went to the first KazCon and had a wonderful time. The panels were great, the games and parties lots of fun and I met so many fantastic people. Tonya runs a well organized convention and I had no complaints. It didn't matter to me in the least that it was gen-only. :-)
