Hurricane Katrina Relief

Two things!

1. Ever wished you could get one of your favorite authors to write something just for you? Well, there's several really good authors (and me) signed up at The Fund, a Livejournal community dedicated to raising money to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. If you're an author or talented with graphics, you can volunteer to do things, or if you just want to donate to a worthy cause, you can get something back for it. Authors from the HP fandom so far include Echo, Where is Truth, Thalia Kendall, Bana05, and your friendly neighborhood site mummy, Mynuet - and where else are you going to get fic written by an author you like to your specifications?

PLUS! See the pretty banner up there? Megh drew that. See the nifty site you're on? Megh made that. Megh has volunteered both of these services for donations to the cause, because Megh is the coolest person ever.

2. There's a project going on to compile data from various sources into a central location to find friends or family affected by Katrina. You can find out more here, including how you can volunteer to help enter the data and maybe make it easy for someone to find the people they love.
