Hello!!!!! It is time to think about the Mark Gatiss birthday drive for 2025! Mark’s birthday is 17 October and I’m excited to see how much money we can raise this year! Last year we raised over £300 for Switchboard.

To start, we will once again be having an auction for fan works and goods. If you’d like to donate a fic or an item please email mgbdaydrive at gmail dot com.

This year, due to fuckery caused by the orange ignoramus, if you want to donate a physical item, it will only be available to those who live in the country of the donor. So for example, if I were to donate a program, it would only be available to those in the UK. This is just to make things easier (and hopefully cheaper) for anyone who would like to donate physical items.

Requests for donations will go until next week. If you would like to offer an item or fanfic or fan art, please let me know ASAP!!!!

If you have questions or anything at all, please let me know here or at @antheas-blackberry. Please be patient if I don't immediately get back to you.
