One of our sister sites is Stargatefan. You may know the site owner, Yum@, has had a major health crisis. Some friends have stepped up to help her out:
Those of you know in Stargate SG-1 fandom know, we’re sure, that Anna (Yum@) of StargateFan has been ill for some time. For those of you in other fandoms, Anna is one of those tireless people in fandom who give much to the rest of us who share her love of all things Stargate SG-1.
As you can imagine, such a long term illness has been a financial stress on her and her family. A group of her longtime friends is embarking upon a fund raising effort to help her out. One such effort will be a zine in her honor, organized by Jmas at the Ancientsgate website.
This auction is another such effort. No, this is NOT a charity auction — this is an auction of friends helping friends, one of the things that fandom is all about.
We’ve all searched our shelves, checked the drawers, rifled through the filing cabinets to see whether we’d have anything that might tempt our fellow fans to give new homes to the things we’ve collected over time.
We’ve managed to find a few things… trinkets and previously loved zines, magazines and photos; a camcorder, a few rare promo items from past shows and films… These and other items will find their way to our auction. Oh, and thanks to the wonderful people at Legends Memorabilia, very shortly we’ll have some very special items from the set of Stargate SG-1.
We’re kicking off the auction today, and it will run for a couple of weeks. We hope you will find something to tempt you, and invite you – and ask you – to spread the word of our little effort: Auction for Yum@.
