F_W Debate Wank!
C'mon, someone had to post it!

[info]iczer6 asks if it's okay to put a post on f_w asking members to consider contributing to a drive for what appears to be a very worthy cause of a non-BNF HP Fandomer called sapphireisle who's mom is suffering from a rare form of cancer and who has been desperately seeking help with very expensive medical bills from all and sundry for the past year without success. Her dad is about to be laid off from work, too, which will only heap further misery on the situation.

(This is a cause that, earlier today, begun to be taken up by an ever-increasing amount of F_W members after a suggestion by Icz in Laptopgate.)

[info]funkyhelix thinks it'd be tapping the shoulders of those that have already seen it.

[info]cleolinda thinks she can link it in her journal and get people who haven't already been annoyed with it.

On the other hand, [info]ladybirdsleeps thinks other people haven't seen all the comments. And also that As long as it's clear you need permission first or we'll mock you, then it shouldn't become unmanageable or even all that annoying.
</i>

Not too wanky so far BUT..

Aw, I won't spoil the best bit for y'all Here ya go!

Small, but amusing!

Btw, only decent to point out that Sapphire's mom's site is http://www.4christina.org

Wow, this nicely side-steps the issue of whether it should be on F_W! [info]funkyhelix is a genius!

So, the moral is; if you want to advertize something, create wank about it. ^^

Daaa-yum, is there anything on earth that the denizens of Fandom Wank can't wank about themselves? But hey, if you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?

Viva la meta!

That said, good work on publicizing this, Iczer. This is a much worthier cause that buying some high-and-mighty BNF enough lap tops for what appears to be her whole damn apartment building.

Now... I just need to find out if they'll take money orders...

Apparently not, hee.

I'm not a Paypal-er either. On the Donations/Help page at Christina's site, there are Amazon buttons as well as a mailing address as alternatives.

Because it is so unusual. And, in this case, such a huge amount of wank.

Er. Only not.

opted to take it to my lj and post the site's link as well as decided that since we're planning to buy some things from amazon anyway, what can it hurt to let it benefit someone at the same time.

Tell me why I wouldn't be surprised if [info]funkyhelix and [info]ladybirdsleeps had fakewanked themselves in order to make this a relevant post. Only couple things I'm missing is more members involved in the wank and being more vocal about it AND a more detailed explanation of Sapphire's mom's cause (of course).

*applauds*

I've sent my twenty bucks. 'Course we can't help every deserving person out in the world, but this cause spontaneously came to our attention through a mega-wank thread. That makes it pretty unforgettable.

This is probably the wrong spot for this, but I didn't know where else. I sent Sapph's mom some money and it all feels really genuine, but on the post linked above to "sharebears", her mom replied that she'd send some clothes her grandson had outgrown.

Isn't Sapphire Isle pretty young? Does she have a kid? The site says they only have one child, so it'd have to be Sapphire's kid. I feel...vaguely uneasy about this detail.

I hate to be so picky, but I also don't like being misled, so I wanted to sic f_w's detectives on it.
