attn: Jewish folks who like contemporary f/f romance novellas

Given...Recent Events...I think a lot of y'all Jewish folks could use a few smiles right now. So what I have just done is I tweeted Shira Glassman, and I sent some money to a Paypal.me link she provided, and this ought to result in three copies of Glassman's Knit One, Girl Two for giveaway. (I squee about the novella here.)

I think how this is going to have to work (because Gumroad hates me, okay, and I didn't think of running this through Amazon Kindle until I'd sent the money) is, if you want an e-copy of Knit One, Girl Two, PM me your email. I will then DM it to Glassman, who will email you the book. Three copies available. First come first served. Please only enter if you are Jewish? (I am not policing shit, though. And I won't tell anyone but Glassman who's requesting.)

ETA: Still one left!

attn: people who want more happy Jewish people | characters out there

Given...Recent Events...I think a lot of y'all Jewish folks could use a few smiles right now. So here's what I'm doing, by way of supporting your community from outside.

If you're Jewish:

Drop me a character (Jewish or otherwise) who you want to see happy. You can comment here or email me at alexconall@gmail.com. Please specify the canon the character is from, unless you're prompting for an original character along the lines of Original Works Exchange (tag set). (I reserve the right to ask for a do-over if you name a canon character I am unfamiliar with.) Add a short prompt if you like.

If you're not Jewish:

Same rules except the character does have to be Jewish, please. I am okay with headcanoning somebody Jewish if their religious beliefs aren't specified in canon. (I'm also not policing who is and isn't Jewish. Not my business. I do hope, however, that in keeping with the spirit of this thing, non-Jewish people will not prompt for non-Jewish people.)

And I will, over the next several days, write you a couple hundred words of happy character, and stick it on AO3. Hopefully that results in happy readers? :)

fucking hell I thought I was holding it together enough this anxiety attack wasn't gonna happen

I am anxietying too shakywobble I can't brain. People wanna share around paypal.me/alexeigynaix for me? I am trying to pull together $300 in the next day or two so that I can afford to rent a Uhaul for Tuesday to haul my crap up to my friends in Tacoma, and also to pay the storage unit in Delaware to keep storing my stuff, and a couple other expenses like fast food en route and whatnot.
