Service Auction/Servant For a Day!

In the great grand glory of the bachelor/bachelorette auction, we're thinking of holding a service/servant for a day auction in the future.

This post isn't a sign up or anything like that. This post is just to gauge general interest and to take ideas from you guys so we can make this something fun and new.

The reason we're thinking of doing a service/servant for the day auction is to allow students to bid on adults and adults to bid on students without making it skeevy. However, there will be the option for romantic dates but those will have to be student/student and adult/adult.

For example, if Fraser offered up a day of teaching someone to be a Mountie, both Johnny Storm or Xander Harris could bid because Fraser's not gonna be hooking up with either of them (sorry, boys). If Fraser offered up a romantic dinner, then it'd just be adults bidding on him.

And hey, if someone would like to volunteer to spearhead this (whether it be proactive student or adults) or even a group, you can do that too.

This is just a general 'are you interested? Does this sound fun? Do you have any good ideas?' post before the plot's submitted and approved.

I think it's a great idea! Good way to get interaction between characters that may not normally mix.

And I think these (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Banana-Muffins-with-a-Crunch/Detail.aspx) look good and seem ridiculously easy to make.

Mmm, fudge.

Shirtlessness is a specialty? :D

I has a question!

[identity profile] gkar-lastkhari.livejournal.com 2008-07-30 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Is there a limit onto how many things can be offered per individual?

If for example, G'Kar offered to write poetry (open to adults & students) could he also offer a romantic date?

Basically, are we looking at one offer per character or can they do more?

...for some reason, your post has prompted a strange urge to watch Mountie on the Bounty.

I don't understand these things. I just obey them.
