My teen years and young adulthood were shaped by some wonderful fantasy books, many of which had a connection to Terri Windling. She seemed to have her fingers in a lot of wonderful pies (my apologies if that metaphor made you crave pie).
Terri is going through some hardships currently, and some of her friends and colleagues have gotten together with this mission:
"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?
Through the next 18 days, we'll be posting personal offerings from the likes of Neil Gaiman, George R.R. Martin, Wendy & Brian Froud, and many more! Besides bidding on these beautiful items, YOU can also post your own skills, services, arts, crafts, or whatever else you'd like to offer for auction!"
So if you'd like to help support this worthy founder of so many fantasy elements, go the Magick 4 Terri auction.
I've been quickly outbid on the items I was after, so this is turning out to be a hot auction!

Oh that's a wonderful idea! Good luck!
Thanks, Jess!
I love when friends and colleagues get together to help out someone who could really use their help like that! So awesome. I hope everything works out for Terri.
Hi Peggy, it is great to see how people have rallied around Terri--every time I check the new total that's been raised, my eyes bug out.
