30 hours into the signup window …

and we are blowing past last year's (record-setting!) numbers. Can't hardly even see them in the rear view mirror …

Last year, at 29 hours we had 223 individual creators offering 312 auctions in 88 listed fandoms and 76 write-in fandoms.

This year? Well.

We have 354 individual creators offering 496 auctions in 106 listed fandoms and 124 write-in fandoms.

That's … amazing.

The listed fandoms with the most signups (so far!) are:

48 Good Omens 48 MXTX (works) * 40 K-Pop * 31 Sherlock Holmes * 31 Marvel * 21 DC * 21 Star Wars * 19 Teen Wolf

And for our unlisted fandoms:

5 Jeff Satur - Music Videos 4 Zhen Hun / Guardian (drama and novel) 3 Cabin Pressure 3 Control (Remedy Game) 3 Fire Emblem Awakening 3 Fire Emblem Fates 3 Schitt's Creek 3 The Goblin Emperor Series - Katherine Addison 3 Transformers 3 Zhen Hun / Guardian (drama) RPF

Over in our supported orgs, most creators are leaving the decision to their bidders, but among those who are choosing specific ones, the any/all option for the umbrella category is doing very well. Just below them three orgs keep changing places - MECA, the Young Center, and Freedom to Read are neck and neck with their positions swapping (again!) AS WE'RE TYPING this post.

Also of note, we have 26 fan labor offers - so far!

Stay tuned for deeper dives into the un/listed fandom numbers, and for a round up of the various types of fan labor on offer.

Signups are OPEN! Join us to boost your fandom's presence!

THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION. Censorship affects all of us, and if Project 2025 gets its way, the entire trans publishing industry is at a significant risk of criminalization. In this article, I lay out the problem and the stakes, and suggest a broad action plan with dozens of potential response ✊

“make yourselves impossible to ignore. 10,000 signatures on twitter is a lot but 10 unique personal emails is enough to derail an entire council session.”

As we see a barrage of evil executive orders come in, they are not immediately enforceable and will takes months or years to implement.

That’s still not great, but don’t let these pile up to the point of hopelessness. Take a breath, and look community leaders who will fight it every step of the way.

AU: WWX returned to the Yunmeng Jian clan with his husband LWJ. || Or there is a threesome (JC - WWX - LWJ). You can choose what you prefer ~

Hi. Things are bleak, I know that. I know that we paid for Trump's last term with blood and it is likely the price will be blood again.

But listen to me. LISTEN.

You do not have to force yourself to witness horrors as an act of activism. It is not a form of activism. You can put your phone down, you can block that horrific video. We cannot win if you cannot fight and you will not be able to fight if you are hopeless.

Do not let them guilt you into this. People who are exhausted are easier to walk over. Take care of yourself, find community where you find joy.

time travel au where jiang cheng goes back in time to the beginning of the sunshot campaign, to the night when he and lan wangji finally find wei wuxian again after those three months. last time he wasn't blind to the way that wei wuxian's pale skin was drawn tight and thin over his cheekbones and knuckles, the way he stood as still as a statue barely breathing, but this time jiang cheng won't pretend his shixiong is just looking like this because of a war

he still, without hesitation, yanks wei wuxian into a hug, tucking his face into wei wuxian's limp, tangled hair

"i know," jiang cheng whispers. "thank you. let me take care of you now."

and he doesn't let wei wuxian panic-struggle his way out of jiang cheng's arms, taking advantage of wei wuxian's coreless strength to keep him safe and bundled up in jiang cheng's hold

eventually wei wuxian breaks down crying

jiang cheng infinitely prefers this heartwrenching honesty to the smiling, unworried lies

wei wuxian's core spins in his dantian where they are pressed together, chest-to-chest.

For me, this is one of the most important, exciting archaeological finds this year. Incredible.
