It's still birthday time over here, and still time to bid bid bid.

Happy Saturday! Here is the list of auction items.

Hopefully all the links work! Please let me know here or at @antheas-blackberry if something looks wrong or I've linked your Tumblr incorrectly.

So the auction works the same as other years. If you would like to bid on an item, click the link and it brings you to a google form. Fill in your email and the amount you would like to bid.

I have figured out how to get the bids to go to a spreadsheet so you can all see what is going on without me having to update the page with the high bid every day. If not, I will just update the list every day with the highest bid.

The auction will remain open until the 20th of October. This gives me time to make sure all the links are working and deal with any initial issues. On the 20th I will close the pages for bids and then update the Tumblr page with the final total.

Once I have the highest bid, I will email the donor and the winner and then they can work it out how to deliver the item/fanfic once the donation has been made to Switchboard. All I need is proof of your donation (i.e a forward of the confirmation email from Just Giving).

All bids are in GBP ££.

If you put a bid in, the bid MUST be greater than what the current high bid is within the spreadsheet! There are a few items which have more recent bids, but are less than the first bid. The high bid will stand in this case, so if you are bidding on an item, please check that yours is the highest!

This has worked well over the past few years and everyone who is literally sending an item has agreed to pay for postage. If this ends up being an issue later on, let me know, and I can work it out.

It's time to celebrate Mark's birthday and raise some money for a good cause!

Hello!!!!! It is time to think about the Mark Gatiss birthday drive for 2024! Mark’s birthday is 17 October and I’m excited to see how much money we can raise this year! Last year we raised £500 for Switchboard.

To start, we will once again be having an auction for fan works and goods. If you’d like to donate a fic or an item please email mgbdaydrive at gmail dot com.

Requests for donations will end at the end of the month and the auction will go live on the first of October.

If you have questions or anything at all, please let me know.

The biggest holiday of our year!

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note to let you all know that we have hit our goal of £500!
