I have come very late to this fandom and have found it to be quiet but filled with a sense of delighted energy any time some new scrap of content passes into view. You might say it's like a lake with fish in it, peaceful on the surface until they all come bubbling up around a few breadcrumbs...
I am hungry for more breadcrumbs!! Let's harness that energy for the greater good with @fandomtrumpshate, an annual fanwork auction raising money for progressive nonprofits!
You can read all the details in the FAQ, but the tl;dr is this: if you're a fic writer, fanartist, beta reader, podficcer, fanvidder, or just have specialist expertise or can give someone's story a sensitivity read, YOU CAN OFFER YOUR WORK AND CREATIVITY FOR FELLOW FANS TO BID ON!
In last year's auction, just one enterprising person offered a fanwork for the Imperial Radch series. But a song is even better with more voices to sing! So I've volunteered as a Fandom Ambassador to spread the word and encourage more folks to get involved in my fandoms.
đ”CREATOR SIGNUPS OPEN ON FEBRUARY 5TH!đ”
You can see the rest of the calendar here, but the other key dates for creators are March 9th, when bidding closes, and December 31st, when fanwork is due. That's ten months to create, agonize, erase, celebrate Republic of Two Systems Independence Day, agonize more, procrastinate, get My Heart is a Fish stuck in your head again, and then finally finish up whatever kind of work you've offered, knowing all the while that you helped to raise money for your choice of these excellent nonprofit organizations.
