at the top of the homepage, letting you know about our fundraising drive.\u00a0 Often at conventions, staffers get asked about how great it must be, being paid to attend conventions, organize line parties, go to film screenings, etc.\u00a0 While those events are of course all fabulous, no one at TORn is ever paid a penny.\u00a0 Everyone gives their time 100% volunteer, and in the past, whenever TORn has made any extra money, it&#8217;s been given away to charity.\u00a0 We&#8217;re all about good times, good causes and good people.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>But all these good times come at a price, and TORn is in need of your help!\u00a0 If you enjoy the website, please consider supporting us.\u00a0 There&#8217;s always been a &#8216;donate&#8217; button on TORn&#8217;s homepage; during our Pledge Drive there are specific pledge levels (and rewards!) which are listed in the top banner.\u00a0\u00a0Look out for posts this week telling you more about how and why to support TheOneRing.net!<\/p>\n<p>Right now, we want to let you know that we have an exciting AUCTION going on over at ebay.\u00a0 We have some pretty fabulous, exclusive pieces up for grabs &#8211;
