I have an idea!

It’s so devastating what is happening in my country right now. While Australia is used to having fires, this is just terrifying and it’s obvious that climate change is a major contributor to the worsening fire conditions. So many communities, families, animals and homes have been impacted by this and a number of firefighters have lost their lives battling these terrible fires in order to protect us.

I already have donated what I can to the Australian Red Cross Disaster and Recovery Relief Appeal, as well as RSPCA NSW Bushfire Appeal, but while I was driving home from doing the shopping I had an idea. I thought maybe it would be great to have a Australian Bushfire Fandom Auction where writers/artists offer to create fanworks for donations.

So I’m wondering if people would be interested in this? Also, I would love some help organising and putting it together. So please comment below if interested.

I think that's a great idea! I remember that there used to be more of these sorts of things back in the day (like help_japan, etc.), and I'd love to be involved!

Yes I do too and it’s great you want to be involved.
