Campaign Update & New Chapter for Near Life Experience (10/13)

1. Campaign Update (Last day of the campaign)

Hell yeah!

I mean I don't think I need much more than that 'cause Nikki & Nora fans are some of the best, hell at this point given the obstacles, I'd even be inclined to say that Nikki & Nora fans are the best. The campaign blew by it's goal and are pushing for $60K 'cause budgets sometimes get blown up when there are unexpected increases in expenses. So that means, that if you can...DONATE HERE and if you can't donate, 'cause, well, I get that too, tell people about it, there's that thing called facebook, I avoid it, but some don't, twitter, blogs, street signs, banners, sky writers, billboards, radio, streaking at national sporting events (although that might get you in more trouble than necessary and I'm not bailing you out, so on second thought)...you get the idea. And lastly, thank you.

Sorry about that.
Fandom: Nikki & Nora
Pairing: Nikki/Nora
Rating: PG-13-ish, there are some adult concepts and themes, but nothing too over the top.
Summary: Nikki's not really "Nikki" and Nora's sings a different tune.

A/N: There are some rough topics in this chapter and it's a bit shorter than most of the others, but I thought I should warn you, nothing is shown and I'd never write it right. The fact that I'm implying it is about all I can stomach. Regardless, you've been warned and this light touch is all I'll ever get into concerning human trafficking while providing some statistics from the F.B.I.

Author's Note/Plea/(maybe some begging)...

Few things give me anxiety...worrying about the kids, the dogs...and most recently, The N&N Files Fundraiser Campaign and really, given the pace, it should you too if you want to see it.

Currently, we're (the collective we) at 51.5%. The pacing on the campaign will put them at the end 82.5% of their goal of $50K. =0/ This causes stress. The per day contribution has averaged about $1,288 and to hit the goal they'll need an uptick of $732/day on top of the daily pace...What that means...

We, the collective, need a bit more exposure and maybe to shake down some couches of friends/family (I'm sure their couches would appreciate the attention), maybe their cars too to pull together a bit more dinero to make this happen.

I'd totally queue up an ASPCA commercial if it'll help with the sympathy, maybe post some sad eye pictures of my own dogs if it'll work.

In short, help? Please? Pretty please with something delicious that you'd like on top?

Also, two last things:

Mindschmootz featured Liz Vassey and Christina Cox to talk about The N&N Files - check it out.

Lastly...( This chapter was a long time coming...Ch. 8 of Near Life Experience )

Rating: R for this chapter.

Summary: Nikki's not really "Nikki" and Nora's sings a different tune.

A/N: I've been absent. Between moving, a new job and a 6 hour commute for a month, it's been a bit crazy. Life's starting to right itself so I thought I'd get this up and running to motivate me more.

Aside from above, this story is an A.U.-like really A.U. The two aren't a working two and don't each other, yet. Dan's still Nora's partner and Nikki, well, you'll see. Read, enjoy. Church has started so I'll be there.

A/N: Another week, another chapter. One more in this story and then I need to work on my joint Buffy project with valyssia. The next piece in The River's Daughter series will be Pyxis' Lantern. With any luck I'll have that for mass consumption on the fourth. Until then, read and have a good weekend.

( Ch. 10 - As I Settle )

So, I hadn't really anticipated participating in The International Day of FemSlash. Lots of stuff happening in my neck of the woods, new job starting in August, finding new digs, 60 hour work weeks at the job I'm leaving to train the two people replacing me, birthdays and then life in general.

But.

My dear friend valyssia was tagged by our femslash_today's very own ariestess to participate on the Buffy Panel. Then Val tagged me for it, so...

If any of you folks feel the urge, myself, Valyssia, Ariestess, Crys Loch, Bearblue, Ryoshu and maybe Howard Russell will be doing the Buffy Panel being held on Saturday from 11 to 12 Pacific Standard Time. You can find the schedule and instructions at the link above. I'm sure it'll be a good time and if you can stop in, I say do so there are lot of things happening and a lot fandoms are being talked about.
