We’re down to the final 12 hours of bidding! Keep an eye on what you’re winning - this is when bidders get competitive…

If you haven’t bid yet, there’s still time to get a fic, beta, artist, podfic, or other personalised fanwork for good causes.

Check out our golden needle tag to find hidden gems that haven’t been snapped up yet - or go crazy bidding up something you’re in steep competition for. We believe in you!

We know how exciting it is to get to 8pm and realize you've won the auction! However, in all this excitement, please don't jump the gun.

We will email all high bidders within 24 hours of auctions closing with a full list of the auctions you've won and instructions for how to submit your donation proof. Please do not contact us with your donation proof until you get this email.

What's more, we've changed the process this year, so even if you're an FTH pro please be sure to read this email carefully! You will need the link in this email to submit your donation proof.

We know it's annoying to have to wait possibly an entire day before being able to proceed, but we need to make sure we've accounted for all the auctions, checked for late bids that need to be removed, etc etc before we can start processing your donations.

If you believe you were the high bidder on an auction and you have not received an email from us within 36 hours (so by 8am EDT Monday), please let us know.

A few reminders as we head into what is often the most heated bidding-war time:

  1. Google is still being a weirdo in a variety of ways, so check those bid sheets on desktop or mobile browser + app both to be sure they’re loading all bids.
  2. Not all forms will close right at 8pm - any bids that register with timestamps later than 8:00:05 EST will be considered invalid.
  3. Once auction close, sit tight! If you’re a high bidder you’ll get email from us within a day or so, confirming that you are the winner and giving you the link to our new donation proof form. This is a different process than in previous years! Do not send us proof until you get this email.
  4. Don’t forget to check out the golden needle tag to find those hidden treasures without bids - in particular, there are some really interesting offers of specialist expertise that are still looking for someone who needs that particular bit of knowledge
  5. If you find yourself outbid on everything (or have some extra donation budget to spread around), be sure to take a look at the Fan Crafts Bazaar, which is not closing today. Individual crafters can close their stalls at any time (for example, if they run out of stock), but most will be open for at least another week.

The closing scripts are running, but remember that it will take some time to close all 1000+ auctions! Even if a bidding form is still open, bids with a timestamp after 8:00:05pm EST will not be considered valid.

More fun behind-the-scenes stuff is underway. We’ll be sending high bid emails out within the next 24 hours, so please sit tight.

In the meantime, many of the stalls in the Fan Crafts Bazaar are still open! Be sure to check the details on each individual stall, though, because some of them did end when the main auction did.
