#Fandom Trumps hate

[asidian]

I've officially signed up for Fandom Trumps Hate this year! If you've ever wanted to make me write something in particular for a Dead Boy Detectives fic, now's your chance to get exactly what you want while giving to a good cause.

Like Mick says, the good we do comes back around, so let's put a little good out into the world (✿��‿◡)

[zyrafowe-sny]

Sign up for Fandom Trumps Hate by February 2nd!!!

The @fandomtrumpshate online charity auction is back for its 9th year! This is a fantastic way for the fandom community to raise money for small, progressive non-profits working to protect marginalized people.

We'd love to see more auction offerings from the Nimona fandom this year. Creators must sign up by February 2nd and can offer fanfic, fanart, fanvids, podfic, fan labor (including beta reading), and more! Winning bidders will receive a gift in thanks for their donation to one of this year's charities.

January 20 - February 2: Creator sign-ups

February 21: Browsing begins

February 25 - March 1: Bidding on auction offerings

March 12: Winning bidders must show proof of donations

The next four years may seem daunting, but we encourage you to rise like a fiery phoenix from the ashes and make a difference as a Fandom Trumps Hate creator, bidder, or both!

Even if you can't participate yourself, please signal boost! You are also more than welcome to offer fanworks for other fandoms; this is a pan-fandom event.

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

[redmondcollege]

Gonna get ready to start bidding!

I've signed up for FTH again, my second year.

I'm offering one story: 5k-10 words (Last year's 5k story became 30k, so we'll see how that goes). Johnlock, of course.

Last year was really fun, and it was good to raise money for so many worthy causes.

This year, it feels like it matters even more.

It's just a little fanfic, but we can all do "small things in a great way."

@keirgreeneyes @totallysilvergirl @redmondcollege @7-percent

@ghostofnuggetspast @friday411 @meetinginsamarra

Thanks for reblogging!

[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!

Unremarkable

It's an unremarkable day. John has a date. Sherlock has a case. And both Mycroft and Rosie have just been shoved into the boot of a car.

A 2024 Fandom Trumps Hate gift for @podfixx!

Chapter 1 of 5 is now posted!

[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. 🙈

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

Posting here, as not all of them yet appear in the FTH 2024 collection on Ao3, but I knew they existed! *whew*. Please let me know if I missed any???

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!

[helloliriels]

this and this!!

FTH info and signup post here - deadline is Sunday, February 2nd!

Nervous about submitting a FTH auction?

I've been there! Writing for someone else is scary -- especially when you have no idea what you're going to be asked to write. When I signed up last year, I wondered if I was taking on too much (and indeed I did leave things to the last minute -- but I got it in just under the wire!). Once I took the leap, though I had a ton of fun, and loved the fic I wrote -- as well as the fics that were created for my bids!

Here are a few things that helped me to feel a little more confident about giving signing up a shot.

You can offer something on the smaller end! The form is incredibly customizable in many ways, including the size of what you offer. Fics that are "less than 5k words" and "5-10k words" are offered categories that are a little more bite-sized. A lot can still be accomplished in a short story :) Similarly, you can limit the scope of a drawing, the length of a podfic, or the amount of beta read-ing you feel able to offer. Or if you're interested in making a larger piece, but want to ensure a higher contribution for that effort, there's also a "dependent on donation amount" option -- or you can set a higher starting bid.

You don't have to do a fic! While fics are the largest proportion of auction offers, around a third of auctions (this year and in past years) have been for other things! There are many different categories you can submit in, from fanart to fan labor to physical crafts and beyond -- the only limit is your imagination. Here's a post with some more suggestions of different categories you could offer.

You have all year to finish! The deadline for completion isn't until December 31st, so you have about 9 months to settle on a prompt, flesh it out, and get it made. As we established above, I waited until the very end of the year to actually finish my fic, because deadlines aren't real until they're here. But what I didn't mention is that I wasn't alone -- in fact, of the over 700 fics posted to the FTH 2024 AO3 collection, more than 300 were posted after December 1st! Take your time, there's no hurry.

You can say no to prompts you aren't comfortable with. Even though this is a work you're making for someone else, that doesn't mean you have to make whatever they want. If you don't like writing a particular character, don't. If you aren't comfortable making NSFW content, don't. The auction signup lets you pre-state some of your likes and dislikes, to help give bidders a sense of what you're about and what they can expect, but even once they've won the auction, it's still totally fine to talk through ideas, suggest tweaks to their prompt, or gently turn down ideas that you really don't vibe with. It's helpful to be a bit open-minded and try to work with your bidders ideas and interests, but your feelings also still matter -- and after all, if you're enjoying the prompt, that will probably translate to a piece your bidder enjoys more!

If there are other things you're wondering or have questions about, I strongly recommend looking into the Fandom Trumps Hate FAQ -- it's super comprehensive and thorough -- and they also have a great overview of the signup form to give you a sense of what questions you'll need to answer and how adjustable your auction is to your specific wants and needs.

And if you still aren't sure if signing up is for you -- that's okay! The FTH mods (and me, and many other people) support you taking care of yourself and recognizing your own needs and capacities. You've gotta put on your own oxygen mask first, after all. And there are lots of other ways to support this event, if you feel one of those is more accessible for you.

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

[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.

🖤😇😈🐍🍷🤍

Johnlock on Holiday - In the Arms of the Ocean

Here's my contribution to @totallysilvergirl's 'Johnlock on Holiday' FTH collection!

Sherlock and John are gifted an Atlantic cruise on a luxury ship as thanks from a rich client. Will either one of them finally get their heads out of the sand and share their love for each other?

(Spoiler: yeah, they do.)

I'll post a chapter a day until complete. Please let me know if you want to be tagged, or untagged.

I have signed up as a writer and I am excited!! (and nervous lol)

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!)

FTH FAQ

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.

The FTH Auction Sign-Up Form is here!

The Fan Crafts Bazaar Sign-Up Info is here!
