We don’t know about you, but lately, we’ve had to drag, yank, bribe, or otherwise coerce ourselves to feel ready for the upcoming election year. It’s been a long, exhausting few years of truly devastating setbacks on monumentally important issues, gross negligence, and utterly demoralizing headlines.

But good things did happen too. One of those good things was Fandom Trumps Hate.

Over the last three years, creators from over 150 different fandoms (!) have created over 850 fanworks (!!) and in doing so, helped to raise over $73,000 USD (!!!) for a bunch of different organizations that are doing important work to combat parts of the unbelievable nonsense imposed on us by the current administration. In addition to contributing a whole lot of amazing new content for people to enjoy, you took skills you already have and channeled them into activism, and that’s amazing.

Creator sign-ups for the FTH 2020 auction will go live on January 13th.

Dust off your “to write” lists, rinse your brushes, rekindle your passion for your favorite fandoms. We hope to see you there.

T-minus 7 days.
