It's that time again, Wakers, Breakers, FBC coffee makers. FandomTrumpsHate is back for it's 10th iteration, and we here at Blessed Pictures are once again throwing our hat in the ring to help raise money for a good cause.
We're also going to be asking all Remedy Connected Universe fanwork makers to help us raise a little money for good causes. If you're a Remedy fan, please: consider making a lot, or consider bidding on one (or several) of your favorite fanwork artists for charity. You get a cool bespoke gift, and someone out there gets the monetary help they need. It's a win win.
As for us, this year's going to be a little different; the Editor's the one on the stage this time. He's what's called a "developmental editor", which means he works closely with me to edit every single story into something as complete as possible. I tell him the vibes of the story, what I want and what I can lose, what the "point" of the story is, and give him the raw text, and we do multiple rounds of edits to slap it into shape.
And this year, he's offering his services to anyone willing to put forth some charity cash for FTH. As with all our lots so far, you can choose the org (provided it fits the guidelines). We'll have more granular details for our lots soon, but the quick and dirty is that he can meet you where you're at for your written work, on Gmail or Ellipsus, and help you figure out your story.

Also, the Craft Bazaar is for people who make physical gifts, like bookbinding, jewelry, etc, so if you're making anything and you want to get involved, we have a place for you.
