Anyone interested?

[ratherastory]

So someone on ff.net pinged me about this, and I am halfway tempted. Some of you may know that I'm currently training (or trying to train) to become an RCMP officer. My main problem is that my endurance running SUCKS. So this seems like a pretty good way to kill three or four birds with one stone.



The idea is to sign up to run a 5km race by next June, and to raise money for it. Since it's ALSO a fandom thing, there would be a fanwork up for auction as well.

If I offered a 5K fic to go along with the run (I'd be raising money for breast cancer research, which has always been my charity of choice, or failing that for cancer research in general), would anyone be interested? Choice of prompt would go either to the top donor or else drawn at random from the top donors if there's a tie.

Oh hey, that's awesome! Assuming that *walking* a 5k is included in the challenge, I plan on doing that in December. :D

Yep, walking is totally included.

[embroiderama]

Heeee your icon!

I totally stole it from pkwench. Isn't it great?

Believe it or not, I just this month started jogging again after a 12-year hiatus. I don't know if I'll ever get up to a 5K again, but it's an intriguing idea.

That's awesome. Go you!

OK, not sure I am clear on the concept here (it’s Monday, I am low on caffeine, have mercy): I am planning on running a 5K sometime in the near future (must survive sis-in-laws wedding first), so what exactly are the remaining details I need to cover (something about donations)?

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, if I understood correctly, you raise money for your favourite charity, and as a bonus bribe to fandom you can offer a fanwork.

I'd ping the community mods and ask them.

Ahhh! Alrighty, I will ask questions of Those In Charge - clearly, they should have the information I seek.

But will they have coffee....*hum*

Coffee sounds like an excellent plan!
