🥂 LET’S TALK AUCTION!🥂
Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing with you some of the amazing things that have been donated for our online auction!
Firstly, not one, not two, but FIVE signed Michael Sheen posters from the truly ineffable Lintilla after her trip to “Nye”!
This is one of the five amazing posters in all shapes and sizes!
You’ll be able to bid on the items using eBay during TIC 5, and we’ll post the link on our socials when we go live.
You don’t need a ticket for TIC 5 to bid, but if you’d like one…
If you’d like to donate to our online auction, or in person raffle, please see the guidance on our website:
As always, any money raised by the auction and raffle is donated to Alzheimer’s Research UK in memory of Sir Terry Pratchett.
Thank you!

[Plain text: image description - When the Rose Speaks Its Name, in lettering hanging from telegraph wires. The streets of London with signs reading Southampton Street and Geo: Newnes Ltd (limited) Offices with a drawn hand pointing to the left. Watson and Holmes are in the foreground. Watson is wearing a light green check jacket and a brown bowler. Holmes is wearing a deep black jacket with purple cravat showing and a tall black silk top hat. Holmes and Watson have their arms linked and are looking into each others eyes. End plain text.]

Contains cover and interior art by me :)
If you've been waiting to buy a Worst Journey Vol.1 until your hard earned cash money can go to a good cause, now is your chance! I have a first edition copy in the Children in Read auction, supporting BBC Children in Need – if you win it, you get a signature and a drawing! The auction is open worldwide but is in GBP; at the time of posting the book is going for £160, which is more than anyone I know can spend on a book, but please reblog anyway in case it reaches someone who can!
For the first time, The Ineffable Con will be fully hybrid, with the in person convention being held in a picturesque English village close to Tadfield (more commonly known as Hambleden!), for an optional Sunday night outing!
You can find out more about both in person and virtual attendance in our FAQs and you can book for both options here: https://www.theineffablecon.org.uk/event-directory/
“I can’t believe it – even though I should. It’s bloody Christmas Eve, and we’ve been captured. Again. Locked up. Again. Sitting somewhere in the fucking cold freezing our arses off. Again.”
“Okay, yes, I concede you have a point, John. But what exactly are you complaining about?”
“Sherlock, I swear to you—”
“No, I mean it. We’re unhurt – apart from the cold, perhaps. We’re together. And do look on the bright side, John. We’re not even tied up this time. Things are definitely looking up, I’d say.”
“‘Looking up’? Seriously? Are you kidding me?”
“Well, chances are that we will be rescued in an hour or two. And until then, we can try to get comfortable. Share body heat, that kind of thing.”
“Very funny, Sherlock.”
“You know, John, I begin to suspect that you actually miss the ‘being-tied-up-part’ of what seems to have become somewhat of a Christmas tradition.”
“Shut up. And come here.”
For this month’s @sherlockchallenge : Cold
And because it’s a tradition, too, this is my 2023 Sherlock Christmas card. If you’d like to receive one (in exchange for a charitable donation), drop me a note. More information about the card and a look at the motifs (and ficlets) from previous years can be found here:
Getting the cards ready for the mail. If you’d like to receive one and haven’t contacted me yet, please do so.

See you SOON!!!
I have been giving it some thought & I’ve decided to make a set of Aziraphale & Crowley plushes like these for @theineffablecon’s charity auction this year.
There will be some minor changes so they’ll be one of a kind!
Thank you, Space, for all that you do for Alzheimer’s Research UK-The Ineffable Con events have raised nearly £30,000 since October 2019!
If you need a place to talk all things Good Omens 2, please consider supporting The Ineffable Con 4, a virtual convention held to raise money for Alzheimer’s Research UK in memory of Sir Terry Pratchett.
Tickets range from free to £25 and we’d love to see you there!
Send us your short poems (up to one page long) and microfiction (up to 200 words) exploring the care and connection between the great detective and his doctor/soldier/Boswell/everything.
And if inspiration strikes, there is still room for some longer stories (2,000-5,000 words).
Submit your wonderful words! Tell a friend!
More details below the fold:
As in previous years, if you’d like to receive an actual card, please send me a message or DM and state which motif (the ones from the previous three years are still available in small numbers, too), and let me know where to send it.
I’ll send them free of charge, but would appreciate if you donated something to your local food bank, homeless shelter or an organisation that fights climate change. In case you order something from my shop, I’ll just add the card(s) of your choice.
