In 2025, we responded to the infuriating influx of AI-generated slop in creative spaces with the following policy: Our Stance on GenAI. Given the significant developments in GenAI since last spring, we thought it was important to issue an updated statement and remind you where we stand. The TL;DR is that we’re more anti-GenAI than ever; please see below for our expanded policy for FTH 2026 and onward.
To start, let us firmly reiterate:
Generative AI has no place in FTH. It is not welcome here, under any circumstance.
Non-exhaustive list of unwelcome slop generators:
image generators like Imagen, Midjourney, and similar
video generators like Sora, Runway, and similar
LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and similar
vibecode generators like Copilot, Roo, Replit, and similar
audio generators like ElevenLabs, MusicLM, and similar
text editors like Grammarly that are known to be powered by LLMs
Starting this year, the following policies apply to all creators (including those in ROFL) and bidders, respectively:
For Creators
Participants found to have used generative AI to produce a fanwork, in part or in whole, for their bidder(s) will be permanently banned from participating in future iterations of Fandom Trumps Hate. This includes fan labor of all kinds.
We strongly advise (in FTH, but also more generally) that creators of all mediums keep some kind of work history, insofar as possible (we understand this may be more difficult for fan labor). You likely already do, intentionally or otherwise! Documenting your fanwork progress is one of the easiest ways to prove that your work is truly yours, should the need ever arise. To be clear, we don't require that you provide your bidder with intermediate stages of your fanwork—that is entirely up to you.
For Bidders
Participants who deliberately introduce any AI-generated materials into the fanwork creation process (see below for concrete examples) will forfeit any unfinished portion of the won fanwork and will be permanently banned from participating in future iterations of Fandom Trumps Hate.
This includes (but is not limited to):
giving a creator an AI-generated prompt (of any medium) (e.g. requesting a fanfic based on an AI-generated image, generating a fanwork prompt using ChatGPT, etc.)
requesting fan labor be performed on AI-generated material (e.g. beta-reading a slopfic, getting help with a vibecoded workskin, etc.)
requesting a fanwork (of any medium) that is intended to accompany AI-generated material (e.g. cover art for a slopfic, photo manips of AI-generated images, podfics of slopfics, etc.)
feeding creators' fanwork(s) into a generative AI model
We are keenly aware that since last year, existing beloved tools and workflows have had unasked-for generative AI features forced into them, with varying degrees of transparency about whether or not they can be shut off or excluded. Our ask is that all participants make an effort to avoid using features known to rely on generative AI in anything even peripherally auction-related. Familiarize yourself with the tools you work with and use your best judgement; if a new feature would make your fanwork trivially easy for someone without your skill set to create, it may rely on generative AI.
A Reminder:
The more generative AI intrudes into creative spaces, the harder it becomes to distinguish between slop and human-made work, even to a trained eye/ear. We absolutely encourage everyone to educate themselves on how to get better at spotting it. That said, it can be very tempting to over-correct and default to the assumption that anything you come across with certain characteristics is AI-generated. We ask that everyone strive to assume that your fellow FTH participants are operating in good faith. Not every piece of text containing em dashes* was generated with ChatGPT; not every video with a cool, improbable-looking effect was generated with Sora; not every piece of audio with a noticeable skip or glitch was generated with ElevenLabs.
Please be kind to each other. If you suspect your fanwork or prompt contains AI-generated material, please reach out to the mods via email so we can address situations on a case-by-case basis.
We recognize this policy may seem unusually rigid in comparison to our others; most aspects of FTH operate on an honor system, and in general we try to be as flexible as we can in our policies to allow for the best experience possible for all FTH participants. This, however, is something we are not willing to be flexible on. We ask that you trust we have given this serious consideration and respect that while we are always willing to answer clarifying questions, we are not open to debate on this topic.
Why do we care about this?
We understand that there can (still, somehow) be contentious debate around the use of generative AI, we know individual people have their own reasons for being in favor of it, and we recognize that many people may simply be unaware that generative AI comes with any negative impacts at all. Regardless, we are firm in our stance on this for the following (non-exhaustive) list of key reasons in no particular order:
Over the years, we’ve supported multiple environmental organizations doing important work to combat climate change, preserve wildlife, and advocate for renewable and sustainable energy policy changes. The increasingly massive computational demands of generative AI models are causing a spike in greenhouse gas emmissions, polluting the soil around data centers with hazardous e-waste, and gobbling up our already limited supply of fresh water (which we hear is critical to the survival of organic life or something). Using generative AI to produce a fanwork flies in the face of the work of every environmental organization we have supported to date.
negative, unregulated societal impact
Paramilitary-wannabes, among others, are leveraging AI to enable mass surveillance and commit unforgivable acts of domestic terror, primarily against already underprivileged groups. Using generative AI to produce a fanwork contradicts the efforts of all immigrant-justice related organizations we’ve supported to date.
Actual creative work is being increasingly devalued, leaving writers, artists, computer programmers and many others unemployed at a time when inflation is high and housing costs are out of control.
Use of generative AI is enabling students to avoid learning, and even reducing brain activity in people who use it in lieu of doing their own research using standard search engines (a valuable skill to develop in its own right). Having a less-educated populace with lower critical thinking skills paves the way for political manipulation used by fascists everywhere.
The companies responsible for forcing generative AI into all aspects of our lives are helmed by increasingly right-wing tech bros who lack the capacity to care about who or what they may be destroying in the name of alleged technological “progress,” and who leverage their over-inflated wealth and influence to effect major policy decisions (either via lobbying or by being directly hired to do so).
plagiarism and lack of artistic integrity
Most if not all generative AI models are trained on some amount of stolen work (across various mediums). They operate by taking massive amounts of data (much of which they do not have sufficient consent to use, in our opinion) and averaging it down into a uniform sludge. As a result, any output generated by these models is at worst plagiarized and at best extremely derivative and unoriginal. In our opinion, using generative AI to produce a fanwork demonstrates a lack of care for the craft, a lack of respect for the work of creators, and a lack of respect for your bidder and your commitment to them.
undermining our community-building impact
The pervasiveness and sheer volume of generated AI slop is skewing the perception of what kind of creative work is considered “polished” or “professional”, exacerbating existing harmful implicit and explicit biases along the way and leading to an increasingly narrow (and boring) scope of what constitutes valuable creative work. This is bad news for creatives and consumers of creative works alike.
One of the best things to come out of the auction every year—we can’t even call it a side benefit, because it’s so central to us—is that bidders and creators form collaborative relationships which sometimes even turn into friendship. Using generative AI undermines that trust and collaboration.
undermining the value of participating in FTH
Creators: bidders participate in Fandom Trumps Hate for the opportunity to prompt YOU to create a fanwork for them, in YOUR style with YOUR specific skill set. Any potential bidder is perfectly capable of dropping a prompt into a generative AI model on their own time, if they want something generic and soulless.
Bidders: creators participate in Fandom Trumps Hate to channel their creative energy into a force for good, enriching the available content in their fandom while supporting causes they care about. They are offering their time and talent to create something to YOUR specifications that YOU will love and appreciate. Any creator is perfectly capable of generating themselves an uninspired, milquetoast AI prompt to work from, if they wish.
Ideally, all who participate in FTH aim to play a role more significant than “unnecessary middleman.” We appreciate your taking the time to read this, and we hope some or all of our reasoning here resonates with you too.

@fandomtrumpshate is a fan-run auction to raise money for progressive nonprofit organizations (full list available here). I've seen their work over the past many years, but this is my first time participating.
I'm allowing the high bidder to choose any of those organizations to receive their donation, and in return I'm gifting my skillset.
I'm offering a fully-customized AO3 site skin.
I'll work with you to determine your preferred colours, fonts, background images etc. as well as features or functions that you would like modified or hidden. I'm also more than happy to increase accessibility for you by modifying the site's presentation for your ease of reading and interacting. If there are specific works or tags you would like never to see again, I can also hide those for you with site skin code.
Site skins can't do everything, so please do drop me an ask if you're curious whether something would be possible. Also, I'm a self-taught coder so I might need to research whether something is within my abilities (and whether I know someone who can teach me).
You might be familiar with some of my skins already:
Medieval Times
Galaxy Dark Mode
Glowy (fireflies) Dark Mode
Pink and Green Frog Theme
and I've made about 20 more.
This offer is open to any and all fans and fandoms.
The site skin I provide will be one-of-a-kind and the code will be shared with you directly. If you don't know how to apply a site skin, I will walk you through the process. If you have issues with the skin, I will provide ongoing support.
If you want to allow others to use the same skin, you are welcome to share the code as you see fit. I'm also happy to post it on my github if you want it to be widely accessible.
Auctions run from 8:00AM EST, 3 March 2026, to 8:00PM EST, 7 March 2026.
My auction post can be found over here and I encourage you to check out the other works being offered. There are over 1200 creators offering over 1600 fanworks of all kinds, from fic to fanart to podfics and more. There is also a fan crafts bazaar where you can bid on physical items.
Instructions for bidding are at the bottom of the auction post.

Much like Ilya and Shane creating their own charity, you too can support the causes you care about by doing what you love: creating fanworks! You can find a complete list of potential charities here; creators can choose which charities their bidders create for!
Creator sign ups are Jan 26-Feb 8. For a full schedule, see the below graphic.
More questions? Here is the FAQ, or feel free to DM me! Fandom Trumps Hate is a lovely event that brings fandom together, encourages creation, and has raised over $300k over 10 years!
I am auctioning off art in the Fandom Trumps Hate auction. See details or make a bid or here. Send me an ask if you have questions about what kind of art I’d be willing or able to create (More examples of my art here and x here). Winner makes a donation to the charity of their choice (among those listed) and as a thank you I create an art of their choosing.
Or if my art is not your thing, there is probably one of your favorite Sherlock creators here. And creators in many other fandoms here.
Bidding on all auctions runs from Tuesday, March 3rd 8am EST - Saturday, March 7th, 8pm EST
Please consider a signal boost - It’s all for a great cause!
This bind was a whole nostalgia rush. I pretty much immediately abandoned the idea of doing a two book set - this fic collection demanded a full set of scholastic sized books.
My favorite part of this project was definitely the typeset. With the assistance of some online style guides and a plea to the animorphs subreddit for inside page photos I mimicked the original style of the books, down to the font (Eurostyle, if you're wondering).
Obviously* I wasn't going to do the morphing illustrations, but I like how the modified cover design turned out. Overall, a delight of a bind, despite how many times I had to reprint the covers and how much glue I got on my rug.
*I looked into it
Material details: Church paper in warm white (legal quarto), glossy inkjet photo paper, textured self adhesive matte laminating sheets.
