Donate $10 to the OTW, get a free book

ravenna_c_tan, is giving away an ebook of The Siren and The Sword to anyone who donates $10 to the Organisation for Transformative Works between now and Friday 17th December at noon. (Her timezone, presumably, though the post doesn't specify. I think she's somewhere on the east coast of the US.) If you're one of the first five to donate $25, you can get a signed paperback or an audiobook download from Audible.
The Siren and The Sword is erotic romance, and fantasy, and 'new adult' - it's the first book in her Magic University series - so I think it'd suit a bunch of us really well. :) A lot of you, particularly those who share my taste for Harry/Draco or Snaco, will have read Cecilia's excellent fanfic.
Plus, of course the Organisation for Transformative Works is a great cause in itself. Those of you who've been around long enough to remember Strikethrough here on LJ might also remember the conversation after it: about how fans needed somewhere we couldn't be ToSed, needed an archive of our own. And now we have one, thanks to the OTW.
Donating $10 to the OTW also gets you a year's membership, which includes things like the ability to vote in OTW elections.
I also agree with Cecilia on this point:
I believe that as corporations realize there is money to be made and material to be exploited, the right of fans to create transformative works is one that will need to be defended even more zealously than it was when they were just calling us “pirates” and “molesters” for doing it.
Go! Donate! Get yourself a book!
