Whew! Hello everyone! I think I’m finally starting to breathe like a normal human being again, to tell y’all the truth. I finally had a chance to catch up on my emails, messages, and notifications, and I am so goddamn happy to finally give you a real update on how we did. Drumroll, please!
PLEDGED DONATION AMOUNTS:
Buy It Now TOTAL: $1,148.00 MISC ITEMS TOTAL: $2,895.41 NYCC TOTAL: $826.00 FIC TOTAL: $11,651.25 ART TOTAL: $3,557.00 SPECIAL EVENTS: $765.00 GRAND TOTAL OF PLEDGED DONATIONS: $20,842.66
Now I know what everyone really wants to know is, how much real money is already on its way to helping Puerto Rico’s people? Here’s where we stand so far:
BIN TOTAL: $775.00 MISC TOTAL: $697.00 NYCC TOTAL: $645.00 FIC TOTAL: $4,566.00 ART TOTAL: $770.00 SPECIAL EVENTS: ? GRAND TOTAL OF CONFIRMED DONATIONS: $7,453.00
Holy shit, right??? I know, I’m over the goddamn moon. Except – I know everyone heard me say over and over that proof of donation must be provided to your creator by November 6th! The other half of this requirement is that the creator has to tell us, the FLPR mods, that proof was received.
You may notice that the fic and BIN events have about 50% fulfillment rate, but art and the other category (crafts, vids, etc) is way lower. Are artists and crafters more forgetful about letting us know they’ve received bids??
Tomorrow we’re going to start messaging creators about whether they’ve received proof of donation. We will not be messaging individual bidders to remind them that they’ve won. Creators, if you have received proof from your bidders, please let us know ASAP so we can update our records and check you off our list of people to harass. You can do this either by messaging me (@hansbekhart) directly on tumblr or DW, or by replying to the relevant comment thread on the FLPR auction site.
Don’t forget to add your work to the Fandom Loves Puerto Rico AO3 collection! Also, if you tag me or send me the link to your FLPR creation, I will very happily reblog it!
