This year’s TAFF candidates have been busy fundraising. Via Anne Murphy I have the following:

The opportunity to specify the name for a character in an upcoming work have been donated to TAFF by none other than Cory Doctorow, Elizabeth Bear, Charlie Stross, Nalo Hopkinson, David Brin, Julie Czerneda and Mary Robinette Kowal! – Click through to bid on the auctions at eBay!

There are also TAFF auctions for first editions of Orwell’s 1984 and John Hersey’s Hiroshima, donated by Terry Hickman. All auctions close at the end of the day PST on December 7.
