eyes closed, head first, can't lose

GUESS WHAT, GORGEOUS PEOPLE? help_pakistan is now open for bids! My thread is here - I'm offering one fic, minimum of 1,000 words. I'm not going to be able to go by the suggested deadline there, which is in October, but I'll have it done by February - I've still got one fic to finish from gulf_aid_now! (I AM WORKING ON IT, I PROMISE!) This time around, I am NOT going to offer a fic to the runner-up (I was perfectly happy to do that the last times, but have much less free time now) so PLEASE keep an eye on the deadline if this is something you really want!

There are already a TON of wonderful offers - here's a delicious account with all the offers sorted out, and the main post for fics is here. There are a lot of great finds in that category and many others, so please check it out! You can offer goods of your own up until the 27th and bidding will go until the 28th - it's an important cause, so help out if you can! :D 

You can comment here or PM me if you have any questions about what I'm offering! 

( ORIENTATE THIS, BIZNATCH. )

Title: be all my sins remembered (aka: hamlet, the white collar remix)
Author: hoosierbitch
Rating: R
Pairing: Neal/Peter
Word Count: 13,200

Acknowledgments: First and foremost, thank you, elrhiarhodan, for bidding on me and for making such a generous donation to Sweet Charity (and then for being so flexible on the prompt!). I hope you like your fic! This story is by far the longest continuous narrative that I’ve ever written – I know it’s far from perfect, but I hope you enjoy it. ♥ I also owe huge thanks to all the folks at fic_finishing – without your support, I never would have gotten this finished! ashcat and bientot were amazing first readers, your cheerleading kept me motivated. (Special thanks to bientot for Satchmo’s name!) And last but not least, thank you, afiawri, for the insightful betaing! The many remaining mistakes are all mine.

Notes: This entire fic is full of historical inaccuracies. Some, like increasing the length of the rehearsal process, I made intentionally - most are just because I didn't have the time to do more research into the minutiae of the time period. Working from this article, it doesn't seem that out of the question that people of color would be employed at a place like The Globe, or that June couldn't have been the landlady for property that she inherited from her husband (working from this website). So Jones, Cruz, and June are in more-or-less their canonical roles.

Disclaimer: Obviously, the quotes from the play (and the title) are Shakespeare's, just as the show belongs to Eastin and USA. You don’t have to be familiar with Hamlet to enjoy this fic, but if you want to refresh your memory, the full text can be found here.

Warnings: Rampant historical inaccuracy.

Summary: Peter never thought he’d see Neal Caffrey again after his fall from grace and departure from the stage. But when The Globe needs a new lead actress, Neal may be his only choice.

First off, sorry for spamming y'all! I promise this is my last post of the day. At least one of the earlier posts was porn - that counts for something, right?



It's Fandom-Makes-the-World-a-Better-Place time again! WOO!

So there's been Sweet Charity, Help Haiti, Help Chile (and probably a ton of other auctions/fundraisers that I've missed!) and the most recent one is to help the relief efforts in the Gulf. They're already in the second round of the auction (sadly, I completely missed the first round). I know a lot of us don't have the time or resources to do much more than write a few letters or sign a few petitions, but one really important thing that we can do is donate money.

And if (like me) you have no money, you can offer whatever else you've got! Baked goods, crafts, jewelry, fanart, mixes, podfics, or fiction. If you've got no money and nothing you can offer for bidding, spreading the word is also helpful!

I'm putting a fic up for auction - minimum 750 words, in a bunch of different fandoms. You can check out the details at my thread here. Bidding starts at $3.

Fair warning: I will be busy working on my Sweet Charity fics right up to the July 12th deadline (and the deadline for the Gulf auction is July 31st) so I can't promise a masterpiece. But I will do the best that I can in the time that I have!

You can find more info about the auction here. Bidding ends July 5th, and all offers are due by July 31st!

Offer whatever you can (y'all are freakin' crazy talented!!!!), bid on whatever you can afford, and help spread the word!
