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

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!

My job just ended today, and I needed to donate a chunk of my last paycheck to charity (yes, required) and I don't have another job lined up- and I'm not *supposed* to feel resentful about donating, but I was.

And now? If it wins an "Empath" review? Well, that may make me smile while applying for jobs that are so ridiculously below my paygrade that I'm actually moving in with my dad for an indefinite amount of time.

Awesome.

How can they make you donate a chunk of your paycheck? Isn't it supposed to be, you know, voluntary? *eyes them*

You totally deserve an Empath review, I tell you what.

[quinfirefrorefiddle]

I'm (almost) a pastor. Donations are part of the job- and actually, I'm a little behind, this'll help me catch up.

They don't actually check or anything... but I need to do it.

You'll actually like McCoy! I think. It's a delightful ep (aside from, you know, the random torturing- but it's 60's TV primetime torture, so you'll be fine)... and actually creates a bunch of fic tropes, I think.

ETA: Also, you are going to *love* the scenery.

OMG, "Empath"! The emotional!porn of my early adolescence. Talk about your defining moments. :-D

*cheers for you to win*

I wonder if anyone else would be willing to chip in for an "Empath" or other TOS episode review, like the k-drama fans are doing? I know I'd be willing to throw $20 in the pot. May as well make it a proper bidding war, right? ;)

[quinfirefrorefiddle]

I'm donating the $50 anyway, so add that to it - that's $70.

Tell you what, if we get up to $100, I'll throw in another $25.
