Creator Sign-Ups Are Open!!!

It's time to sign up for FTH 2025!

Before you sign up, some reading material (if you're a returning creator, please give them another look, as we have changed a few things!)

What to expect on the signup form

A brief overview of this year's changes

Which fandoms are on this year's list (but of course you can write in any fandoms you like)

FTH 2025 Calendar

List of Supported Nonprofits

We also wrote a little self-care reminder. The short version: we want to acknowledge that this year will be hard for many people for many reasons, and that stress can take a toll on creativity. Keep your own well-being in mind when planning your FTH offerings, and only offer what you really want and feel able to do. We'd truly rather have fewer sign-ups than have FTH deadlines cause you excessive stress at the end of the year.

Glad to see I wasnt the only procrasti-writer this year! (my first year offering fic) and so proud of those of you who made it to the finish line and HOLY mother of fandom those of you that wrote more than one!!! (bowing lowly to the floor). Writing for FTH made me more in love with those of you who do this every year. It's a brilliant challenge and all for charity!

[scarlettohairdye]

Shhh, sweetie, don't cry. WIP Wednesday for my second WangXian Fandom Trumps Hate fic that I've completely forgotten to post about until now, okay?

[holmesianlove]

Well I’ve signed up again. #FTH2025 here we come!

I’ve offered up to a 10k fic but if you know me, the word count isn’t important. If the project warrants it, I’ll write more!

The only question will be, what do you want it to be?

Check out my stuff on AO3 first or scroll back and read my December prompt posts. My pinned post has links to some of my recent stuff.

HELLO HOCKEY FANDOM

do you enjoy...

making hockey fandom related stuff (writing, art, crafts, podfic, etc.)

receiving hockey fandom related stuff (see #1)

making the world an incrementally better place?

IF SO, please allow me to tell you the good news about fandom trumps hate

many people have created very informative summaries about this auction/exchange that you should read! but i am a bullet points kind of guy so here goes:

creator sign ups open on monday, 1/20. this is right after my birthday so you should think about signing up to celebrate my existence.

you decide what you get to put up for auction! people bid on your stuff (min bid is like $10), the winner donates the winning amount to a charity, and then you work with the winner to make their thing. everyone wins. no loser point. no shootout.

lots of entries are hockey rpf or rpf-adjacent, but they don't have to be. i personally plan to put some crafts up for bid, in case anyone wants a giant crocheted version of their favorite hockey as a mermaid or a mersquid or merlobster or even a bat or cow or whatever. you can even order two and make them kiss or just live in blissful undersea harmony. voila.

but angela, you may be saying. this sounds complicated. also i am afraid. what if no one bids on me? what if someone bids on me and then i have to do a thing?

be not afraid. it's a great event, especially if:

you're motivated by deadlines (stuff is due by the end of 2025)

you're motivated by not letting your winning bidder down

you would like to surprise and delight a stranger with something they will love, created specifically for them!

you would like to surprise and delight a fandom friend with something they will love, created specifically for them!

like liam neeson, i will find you. and i will bid on you. and so will other people.

truly, i participated for the last few years as a creator AND a winning bidder. i lack the ability to handle anything complicated due to life reasons AND AND am notoriously not the most outgoing person, however. it's a super well-organized event that was so easy even i could figure out and work within the logistics.

i love hockey fandom, we have so many talented and funny and wonderful creators, and it surprises me so much that there just aren't that many entries year over year. if you want more info i am happy to provide <3

@fandomtrumpshate gift for @theriverbeyond!! no text version below the cut

[thence-we-came-forth]

Posting my second gift for this year's @fandomtrumpshate this time for @at-delphi!

I gotta say I loved working on this since Izzy is a character I held close to my heart (and drawing Jim and Wee John is always a bonus, too)

Anyway, enjoy!

[safedistancefrombeingsmart]

The lovely @khorazir generously bid on me for FTH 2024 and gave me an amazing prompt that immediately excited me: combine Martin's characters Chris from The Responder and John from Sherlock and let them meet each other. The 1st ideas came quickly, but in the end it wasn't until September (!) until I finally knew what exactly I wanted to do.

What if John never properly disposed of the gun he shot the cabbie with?

(template)

Thanks to @meandhisjohn for her encouragement when I was doubting myself and was stuck. This is probably the most complex thing I have ever done. 🙈

[alightbuthappypen]

Finally! My art for Fandom Trumps Hate!

@scarlettohairdye requested Foxxian and Dragonji in Ponyo-esque pose, with elaborate hanfu. Thank you Scarlett for answering all my questions about the details (especially given my only vague familiarity with this trope), for giving me the opportunity to draw something so fun, and for your patience while I got it together enough to finish <3

[fandomtrumpshate]

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!

A 2024 Fandom Trumps Hate gift for @podfixx!

Chapter 1 of 5 is now posted!

[shrimpchipsss]

my FTH 2024 gift for aibari, from their fic Lockleaf Heart!

[eevylynnart]

Made for @wolfspurr for Fandom Trumps Hate

[xkoiinu]

Okay fair warning - the end of the year will soon be nigh and I want to gush about Good Omens a bit just because. ❤️

2024 has definitely been a tough year at times for the GO fandom but it’s also been interspersed with some really bright and wonderful moments too. To see how far we’ve come and where we are now, with the S3 finale less than a week away from filming, I feel so proud to be part of the fandom in my own small way. GO is unique and special and so beloved by its fans, and 2024 has really showcased that in my view. GO belongs to us, to the fans, and it always will.

Since 2019, GO has been my safe space to retreat to after a tough day, or when I’m feeling low or anxious. I have learnt so much from it and from the fandom around it. GO has challenged the way I see the world and what I thought I knew about kindness and acceptance and, especially, about love. It’s honestly helped shape who I am now and I think, I hope, I am a better person for it.

I’ve always been more of a ‘lurker’ in the fandom but I’m taking (baby) steps to rectify that. If nothing else, in 2025 I hope to be brave enough to interact with more fans on here and maybe even pen some of my own fan fiction… we’ll see 👀

Now, onto the S3 finale! (Happy hair watch to those who celebrate!) I’m super excited to see our ineffables on screen again. Of course, I have things I would love to see happen in S3 but above all else, what I want is a happy ending for our beloved angel and demon and I am 100% confident the cast and crew will deliver that for us all (and if that happy ending just so happens to be in a certain cottage somewhere in the South Downs, well 😘!!).

See you all in 2025! It’s gonna be our year.

🖤😇😈🐍🍷🤍
