Yuuago, I tried to sign up but couldn’t make the form submit. Whether this is my usual ineptitude with computers I don’t know.

Not sure why that happened! I pmed you, maybe we can figure something out.

Going in for ear surgery tomorrow! A little nervous because of the recovery time and restrictions (I'm not allowed to blow my nose for a couple of weeks! O_O) but it'll be good to get everything finally done and fixed up.

All the best! (I hope you survive the no-blowing-nose period, that sounds practically torturous)

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT! </yells>

... they forbid blowing your nose but have nothing to say about trying to avoid sneezing? Or do they have a way to temporarily plug your tube so that short bursts of pressure are kept out of the middle ear?

No getting onto any flights during that period, either, I presume ... ?

I hope everything worked fine, Wyrm. Now onto the no-blowing, no-sneezing (?) period. :-)

Thanks for the good wishes everyone!

Everything has gone to plan and I'm now back at home with all kinds of interesting dressings stuffed into my ear canal.

In regards to nasal matters they've blocked my eustachian tube with a dissolving plug so it's OK if I blow my nose *gently* and just try not to sneeze too much. Thankfully hayfever is one of the conditions I am not afflicted with. And you're right JoB, no flying or diving until it's all healed up!

Think I'll head off to bed now and try to sleep off the lingering effects of the anesthesia...

Bidding is open for the Fandom For Australia charity auction now. It'll close on Saturday 29th February, 23:59:59 GMT.

List of all the SSSS offers: https://ffoz-offerings.livejournal.com/tag/fandom:%20stand%20still%20stay%20silent

Specific bidding pages for people in SSSS fandom:

Jiiri (Jitter) - offering SSSS for 2 fanfiction slots.
Kiraly - offering SSSS, aRTD, and CoH for 1 fanart slot.
vaityadil (Noodles) - offering SSSS for 1 fanart slot, 1 beta reading slot, and 1 icon fanart slot.
yuuago - offering both SSSS and aRTD for 1 fanfic slot, 1 beta reading slot, and 1 poetry slot.

See each person's page for the specific details about what they're offering.

List of all participating creators/available fandoms here: https://ffoz-offerings.livejournal.com/tag/

Quick rundown of how auctions like this work:

- Every slot that a creator is offering will have a link to a bidding form and a spreadsheet to check the current high bids, like a silent auction.
- The person with the highest bid on each slot will be contacted through email by the Fandom For Australia mods when the auction is over.
- Winners then make a direct donation to one of the charities Fandom For Australia is supporting, for their pledged winning amount or higher.
- Winner emails the mods proof of donation. This is usually a screencap of the receipt with real name etc blacked out in Paint.
- The mods send an email to the creator with the winner's email address, so they can get in contact and discuss the fanwork they'll make for them as thanks for donating.

Main event site with link to FAQ and list of supported charities: https://fandomforoz.livejournal.com/

Think that covers everything. Please do link this info around to anyone that you think will be interested. I'm so happy that there are SSSS fans participating in this. : )

I posted this on the Disqus under current page. Yuuago, I copied your latest message fully and added link to this discussion.

I suppose it would be worth it to make a short post about it under a couple of more pages on Disqus as well.

Hey, uh, just letting you guys know that qoro from the discord server has created a telegram chat thing for SSSS (it works pretty much like facebook messenger but with privacy/encryption and without the facebook) and I offered to post about it here. So if that's your preferred method of communication then this is the link: https://t.me/SSSSaRTDCoT
