Levar Burton never fulfilled the auction, so we got a refund today.

Giving everyone a partial refund of their donation in the percentage of which is unspent after any paypal fees is complex. I kinda don't want to have to do that.

So... what now.

We could use the money to buy advertising elsewhere, I'd recommend facebook.

Or we could donate it to some charity.

I got a thread going on the PC but people can also post their ideas here.

So if you donated, and have an opinion on what we should do, please share.

Thanks, V. I don't visit the other boards, so I appreciate you also asking here.

I'd recommend we use it ourselves, as much as we can, and donate any odd-balance or remainder to a charity. Since you spearheaded this, I nominate you to pick the charity (we'll be voting til the cows come home, otherwise).

Options to put forth a bit of cash might be to buy honorable mentions on some gaming sites, maybe even a gamer's blog, etc., mentioning this is a player-driven effort.

Good stuff, I think we got a good bang, and am not at all worried the balance will be handled well.

Since Felicia Day actually went ABOVE what was required of her, how about inquiring if she has a charity to recommend to donate the remainder to? That is assuming you have any way to ask her.

Otherwise I am happy with donating the remainder to whatever charity you pick.

Or, ask her if she wants to do more, and the $1000 is hers, or the charity of her choice.

You attract more flies with honey. Asking her that might sour her on the whole thing.

Just offer it to her favorite charity, and trust to fate.

Yeah, I'm with the offer it to Felicia's favorite charity. I donated a small amount, but that's a good vote. She did go beyond, seemingly, what was necessary to fulfill her end of the Twitter deal.

I have no way to contact her.

And she'd probably just say give the money to the charity that just refunded it to us. Which is somewhat silly, but doable I guess.

If anyone knows of a way to contact her, feel free. You can tell her to email me at virilneus@virilneus.com to make arrangements.

If you want to involve some nerd love and literacy in donating the money, you might consider: http://www.kidsneedtoread.org/

It's a charity co-founded by Nathan Fillion, which he's still very involved with. He's a gamer too, and pretty actively gives shout-outs to things on Twitter if he feels the cause is good.

Please explain to an old dwarf, what does that mean?
