Auctions are now open for bidding, so head over to the offerings blog and place your bids now! Bidding will close at 8:00PM EST on March 9.
And now that auctions are open, a reminder to creators:
If you gave Tumblr or Twitter as your contact, be sure your DMs are open to anyone, not just followers/mutuals/whatever settings Twitter has these days.
If you gave a Discord handle, remember that bidders who don't share a server with you will need to add you as a friend first, and please accept all friend requests for the next few days.
After the auctions close, you can set everything back as private as you want it -- we always connect bidders and creators via email once we've received proof of donation. But for the next few days if you did not choose email as your contact method please be sure that contact method is actually open! (And if you did put email, please check it!)
To bidders: If you are having trouble getting in touch with a creator, leaving a comment on their auction post letting them know how you're trying to contact them might help. If you still can't get in touch with them after 24 hours, let us know and we will email them.
