#onourownside

(Artist spotlight: @golswia)

Apologies, I often try to avoid promotion on my personal account, though I know a lot of my mutuals expressed interest when this fundraiser was initially proposed and I want to try and reach that audience again and the larger Good Omens community:

On Our Own Side Fundraiser is still looking for organizers and moderators for our upcoming events. Having additional help on our team in the coming weeks is CRUCIAL to being able to run our upcoming events, and without it, we may have to postpone, edit, or even cancel our events.

While this wasn’t anticipated, we are calling to the the wider Good Omens community for crucial help in supporting this fundraiser; you all have already been so incredibly kind so far. With just our watchalong running, we have raised ONE THOUSAND USD for Take Back the Night! That’s wild!

I know it’s a wild and confusing and upsetting time in the fandom right now, and this is a chance to do some good. Get involved with a wonderful, positive, uplifting community and various fun events such as our watchalong (with optional raffle bingo,) auction, charity comms, and zine!

So please, if you have the time, look over the @ourownsidefund account and if you don’t know, see what we’re about; if you do know and are still interested, look at the application link below. If you’re unable to help in that regard, we’re still looking for writers and artist for our still currently OPEN application for ‘Bright Stars: a Good Omens Charity Zine’ and in the future for our public charity comms event. We also have our audition upcoming later in November that we are very excited to begin to publically announce soon.

If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to me or the official @ourownsidefund account!
