Good luck, all!

A few more pics of other items up:

Happy to announce that on Monday, 27 September, the long awaited 2010 annual MSOL auction will be launched, 100% of the profits of which will be donated to the charity supported by Michael and his wife, Lexa Doig - the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.

As well as many Michael Shanks/Stargate SG-1 related items - including some of Michael's own scripts from SG-1, and from recent tele-movies and series such as Smallville, Burn Notice and Sanctuary - the auction will also offer items from past and current popular shows, such as Star Trek, Supernatural, Torchwood, Battlestar Galactica, Farscape and Dr. Who and - of course! - Stargate: Atlantis.


To date, the MSOL auctions and associated fundraising efforts have raised over $105,000 U.S. for the MS Society of Canada.

This year's event, which includes items donated and/or signed for the auction by Michael and Lexa, Richard Dean Anderson, Amanda Tapping, Ben Browder, Joe Flanigan, David Hewlett, Sir Patrick Stewart, William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy - among others - will, we hope, be just as successful as the last.

The first 20 items in the auction will be launched on 27 September, with more items added each day.

For more information, check out the MSOL Auction 6 home page - and please feel free to distribute the above news to any websites, lists, forums and online communities.

 

Thank you, in anticipation, to all who have supported - and continue to support - our fundraising efforts. Your contribution is very much appreciated.

Or, more appropriately, Prepare For Michael...  with a really big mace!




"Absolute Justice" hits UK TV screens tomorrow night  (my time - in other words, 3 Aug :-)  ) on E4 at 9:00pm - though as always, check your local schedules just in case!  Though it seems, alas, the ep has been split into 2 parts to air over 2 weeks for UK viewers.

Anywho, a different trailer has been thrown together for the UK folks... now available on MSOL. :-)

Enjoy!

The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad...

Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are looking good
You're everything that a big bad wolf could want...

Seems that filming of "Red Riding Hood" (or the Girl With The Red Riding Hood" or whatever the heck they're calling it!") is getting a wee bit of attention already, and filming has only just started!

They're paparazzi pics, so they won't be going up on Michael Shanks Online, but a couple of pics of Michael - and other cast members - walking about the set of the film have surfaced.

Note: BEWARE SPOILERS ON THE SECOND PHOTO!!

... what up with that? *g*

Taking a break from auction stuff to have an early-ish night, so catching up on some other online stuff. :-)

Have done a new update today, and added - finally! - the DVD of the original movie that Kurt Russell signed - check out the signature:



... Stargate magazine signed by Michael, Amanda, Chris, Claudia, Ben and Beau:

So, by Thursday night I'd run out of 'already prepped' auction items to upload, so spent a frantic few hours last night prepping the remaining of the next batch of 20... all the while trying to find out from eBay - for the fifth time in the last 24 hours - why 2 of them items listed the previous night were not appearing in the "view seller's other items" view.

Finally - FINALLY - got somebody who would actually investigate the issue (and not refer me to technical support, who sent me an email referring me back to Live Help).

Get this... hold on to your hat.... it seems that in the eBay universe the word "shit" is profane. So of course having described one photo that had a signature from Michael saying "Holy Shit I'm Claudia Black!", the word "shit" came up in their alerts, and they decided not to make it searchable.

This meant that the only people who were seeing the item listed on eBay were those who went to the item listing specifically through the MSOL link. No other search for anything related to Michael, Stargate or anything else would have found it.

Compounding this problem was the fact that I wrote a moderately funny description based on the whole "Daniel/Vala checking out Mitchell's ass" thing from the episode. Apparently the word "ass" is also profane.

And - this will amuse even further. The other item that was missing from the view list was an SPN comic and T-shirt... missing because I had mistyped "shirt" and put... yep, you guessed it, "shit."

Now, you'd think, given it wouldn't have materially changed the item description, that I could have gone into the entries and made it "s**t, and fixed the type, and maybe made the "ass" word "butt". Noooooo, that would have been too simple!  Nope, had to cancel the listings, and start again if we wanted them to appear.

So I cancelled the photo... left the other one alone cos it was doing pretty well for that item (beyond expectation in some ways).

So... for anybody who was bidding on the "Holy Shit" photo....


it now has a new link on eBay, and does appear in the item view for MSOL. .


For anybody following the SPN comic signed by Samantha Smith (and the bonus T-shit *g*)...



it's where it was originally.

If you're into SPN, please spread the word on that one. :-)

For now, I'm going to take out my frustration in the pool, and come back and hopefully be de-stressed enough to focus on prepping the next 20 for tonight!


Bests to all
