Today, I finally got to meet Todd the dragon, after hearing about him through @KitRocha and @RomancingVote. What a fun store that highlights some great authors and has some adorable dragons! Tropes & Trifels is a must in Minneapolis.

We are closing out the night at a lifetime fundraising total of $1,003,604.02, which is staggering and amazing and due to all of you who have done so much. I just realized, though, that in the last message, I forgot to thank someone vital who helped us get over the line.

At the start of this auction, donations were made in honor of a very fine dog. And it turns out, those were yet another boost that, combined with everything else, was necessary to squeak us over the finish line.
