Jake sez, "Speculative fiction writer Shira Lipkin is doing a blogathon this Saturday, July 26 – posting to her
LiveJournal every half hour for 24 hours to raise money for the Boston
Area Rape Crisis Center. This is her sixth year blogathonning, and she
writes spontaneous short fiction every year. It usually tends to have
an urban fantasy bent (as in fantasy in a city, not paranormal
romance), but this year, She's taking a distinctly SF angle on it. For
24 hours, She'll be in character as a xenoarchaeologist, trying to make
sense of precollapse Earth… with the help of over 50 artists who
donated "artifacts" to this project, including a few SF/F authors
themselves. All artifacts are being auctioned, with a story card."
(Thanks, Jake!)
