$7.77 Ficlets
Mar. 15th, 2011 06:01 pmI'm going to be extremely busy in April so I can't participate in
help_japan , but I'll write a short ficlet here for anyone who sends $7.77 to the Red Cross disaster relief fund. You don't necessarily have to send the money to Japan (there was a quake in Yunnan, China as well!), but since I lived in Fukushima (i.e. earthquake/tsunami/nuclear central) for two years, I'd be very glad if your donations were directed to Japan.
Fandoms I'll write for:
Hikaru no Go (of course!)
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy Tactics
Secret of Mana
Rurouni Kenshin
Yakitate! Japan
Magic Knight Rayearth
Shoujo Kakumei Utena
Ender's Game
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (yep)
Slam Dunk (added Mar. 16)
Comment on this post with a prompt, and I'll write the ficlet. I won't need you to send confirmation of the donation--we'll use the honour system.

p.s. My town in Fukushima is okay. I don't think there were any deaths there at all. Most of the people I've tried to contact have replied saying they're all right. There's been a lot of damage, and the town is within 100km of the reactors so it's scary, but so far they've gotten through this relatively unscathed.
p.p.s. Japanese news coverage of the disaster is so...calm, orderly and practical compared to the gloomfest of English-language media coverage. I just learned how to make a stove out of an aluminum can, some salad oil, and some, uh, toothpicks? And to wrap myself in newspaper and saran wrap to keep out the cold. Visit so-and-so in Sendai for free milk (bring a plastic bottle). Dial 171 to send/receive messages to loved ones. If you want to help, don't go to the disaster zone, you'll just eat up what little food they have. Etc.
