On behalf of the team, we want to thank you for joining this site, our twitter account and your donations. As you know Hurricane Sandy is coming on full force and many people will need our help. The disaster is being predicted to destroy huge parts of areas and injure thousands. With your donation, you could be helping out more than you know.
Whether you are an author dedicating your time and your words, or a donator, you are ALL amazing. By donating a minimum of $10 (Which is the minimum for The American Red Cross) or whatever your minimum is in your country (Feel free to donate more than your minimum but that is all we require) you will have access to a compilation of stories and poems by amazing authors. Please remember that all donation sites may require a different minimum from another. It is usually in a different country. We will accept all donations as long as they are for a hurricane relief. These stories are going to be from all different kinds of fandoms; not just twilight. So if you want to write for Harry Potter, Hunger Games or write your own original fiction, we need you! All stories will be due by December 20th.
If you decide to donate, please remember to forward your receipt to our email fandomfightssandy@gmail.com.
We have decided to use The Red Cross as our organization we will be supporting and you can check out their website here. That link will take you to their donate page and you can choose which option you want to donate to. There is a disaster section for hurricanes, storms and other disasters. When you are done, just, please, forward your receipt to our email! Since the demand of help is strong right now, you can start donating whenever you would like.
If you are an auther signing up to write for the compilation please click on the button to the right at the top of the page and sign up. We will add you to the list as soon as possible.
Thank you so much again, and please spread the word about this! With a fandom so huge, we have the opportunity to do something huge and beautiful. Please email us or @ us on twitter with any questions.

Thanks so much for organizing this! By the way, is anyone else having trouble getting a receipt from the Red Cross after you make a donation? I made mine a few days ago, and still haven't received a receipt, and another friend made hers yesterday and no receipt, either. I'm figuring they're just being overwhelmed right now and it'll come soon!
