I am up for auction! Okay, my work is.

[thefourthvine]

I am up for auction at help_japan. This is one of those "Who knows if anyone will want this, but, hey, someone might!" type auctions, because what I am offering is: a review.

Yes! If you were looking for a bewildered review by someone who probably knows absolutely nothing about your fandom and may not be able to identify any of the characters by the end, never mind at the beginning, I am here for you. I will review any English-language (English subtitles also acceptable), Netflixable (if it will be Netflixable eventually, and you're willing to wait, that's fine) movie or TV episode you choose. I am not expecting kindness, either. I will totally watch Spock's Brain for charity.

Things to note: Whatever you pick for me can't have child death or animal harm in it. (It is okay if they're endangered, as long as it is clear they're fine in the end. And if it's just a tiny thing in an otherwise safe movie or episode - horses die in battle or whatever - I will deal.) Also, I can totally promise to write a review about whatever you want me to watch, but I can't promise to like it. I might! But I might not. And in any case I will almost certainly be poking fun at whatever it is. (See the TOS review below - I really do love TOS. But that doesn't mean I'm always nice to it.) Just something to keep in mind.

Some of my previous reviews, so you can decide if this is something you might wish to spend your charity donation currency unit of choice on: Anchors Aweigh, Star Trek TOS: Journey to Babel, and, as a total blast from the past, The Fast and the Furious.

If this sounds like your cup of tea, YAY! Bid at my thread.

ETA: K-drama partisans may wish to read the DW comments!

. . . I think I need this first episode of IRIS you speak of here.

This is an idea which makes me deeply, deeply happy. Sadly, I can only commit about $25 to it, and I don't think that's more than a drop in the bucket of what would be needed to win this auction.

EVERYONE needs the first episode of IRIS. Fortunately, it, like all the k-dramas I mentioned, is available streaming on Drama Fever.

That's about my maximum commitment too, which I why I wanted to reach out to other people. We cannot be the only two people who want to see what happens when TFV reviews a korean soap opera.

[zeborah]

Ooh, thanks for the link! This means I can watch the rest of Queen Seondeok whose broadcast here got sadly interrupted by an unrelated earthquake (Christchurch) and the destruction of my TV three weeks ago.

I am, as this implies, more a fan of the historical k-dramas than those in more modern settings. On the other hand, IRIS looks intriguing too! I could throw US$25 into the pot too if it'd help.

[zeborah]

(Oh curses, they don't stream outside North America. Oh well, I'll find some other source. Anyway my offer stands.)

[jamethiel]

*cough* are you a member of jdramas on lj? They have everything for download

I WILL PLEDGE $40 to get TFV to watch Coffee Prince. Because that would be so, SO AWESOME

[zeborah]

Ooh, I am now, thank you! <clicky-clicky>

[paxpinnae]

Yay! I've set up an organizational post over at my journal so we can sort out pledge and drama details, and also probably fangirl a lot; Could you head over there and confirm your pledge?

[paxpinnae]

Ack. Sorry for the unhelpful link; I didn't realize it wasn't international.

I'm asking everyone who's interested in bidding to go here to confirm their pledge and suggest dramas, so if you want to make your case for Queen Seondeok, now's your chance!

[zeborah]

No prob, if you hadn't posted it I wouldn't have commented and jamethiel wouldn't have posted that other option, so it all worked out. :-)

[paxpinnae]

Fortunately, we seem to have a lot of drops! I'm asking everyone who's interested to head over here to confirm their pledge, suggest dramas, and also probably squee a lot.
