Hey, it’s your Friendly Neighborhood Raffle Coordinator, She!Sam! CONfab is coming up quickly, and you know what that means: the annual CONfab Raffle! It’s always a fun event, and we’ve raised so much for some fabulous causes.

Our raffle will include items from all sorts of Fandoms, new and old, that you can try your luck to win. Tickets are $1 each, and can be bought throughout the weekend up until the raffle on Saturday night. Want to buy some tickets, and can’t find me? Tweet @YoungLoveLeroy, and I’ll get you squared away. (running toward each other in slow motion is not required)

Past Items have included:

Fan art, like drawings, paintings, digital art
