elionwyrTerri Windling, of Endicott Studios and decades of mythic lore/art/storytelling, is in need of some financial assistance.
From the fundraising effort:
Beloved editor, artist and writer Terri Windling is in need, and we are asking for your help in a fundraising auction to assist her. This auction will combine donations from professionals and fans in an online sale to help Terri through a serious financial crisis.
Terri is the creator of groundbreaking fantasy and mythic art and literature over the past several decades, ranging from the influential urban fantasy series Bordertown to the online Journal of Mythic Arts. With co-editor Ellen Datlow, she changed the face of contemporary short fiction with The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror and other award-winning anthologies, including Silver Birch, Blood Moon and The Green Man: Tales from the Mythic Forest. Her remarkable Endicott Studio blog continues to bring music, poetry, art and inspiration to people all over the world.
Terri Windling and her family have been coping with health and legal issues that have drained her financial resources at a critical time. Due to the serious nature of these issues, and privacy concerns for individual family members, we can't be more specific than that, but Terri is in need of our support. As a friend, a colleague and an inspiration, Terri has touched many, many lives over the years. She has been supremely generous in donating her own work and art to support friends and colleagues in crisis. Now, Terri is in need of some serious help from her community. Who better than her colleagues and fans to rise up to make some magick for her?
If you love faerie lore and urban fantasy, you've tripped over Terri's work at some point.
Many of us are $WINTERHOLIDAY shopping, and some of the items offered up for auction at http://magick4terri.livejournal.com are pretty dang amazing. Artwork by Brian Froud...storytelling by Catherynne Valente, Elizabeth Hand, Cherie Priest, Charles Vess, Ellen Datlow and Charles de Lint...music by SJ Tucker...character naming rights in a future piece by Cory Doctorow...neat, neat stuff, with more to come.
The auctions open at 10AM PST and end on December 15th.
You don't have much time. Go ye and bid generously when the virtual doors open.
And please to be spreading the word!
