Fandom Trumps Hate

Every year, we put together a focused list of small, progressive nonprofits that are making the world a better place on a very small budget. When you participate in the auction, you have a chance to help those amazing organizations out while also enriching your fandom!

This year's organizations work toward a range of causes: resisting censorship, journalistic integrity, civil rights, disability rights, reproductive rights, and human rights, provide humanitarian aid, and that bolster efforts to educate and create leaders for democracy around the world.

We'll be posting more detailed profiles of each of these organizations over the next few weeks.

Congo Leadership Initiative *

Crips for eSims for Gaza

Disability Law United *

Environmental Integrity Project

Fight for the Future Education Fund

Freedom to Read Foundation *

Umbrella: LGBT Orgs

As we've done for the last four years, FTH is once again offering one “umbrella” category. This year our umbrella category is community organizations serving and supporting vulnerable members of the LGBT community. We're providing a handful of exemplary organizations working in communities where the need is especially acute, but we invite participants to donate to their own local grassroots organization as well.

• Brave Space Alliance
• Kentucky Health Justice Network Inc *
• Sherlock’s Homes Foundation *
• TransFamily Support Services
• TransQueerPueblo
• or a similar organization working in your community!

Organizations marked with an asterisk (*) allow for international donations directly through their websites. The orgs without asterisks may take international donations through a paypal or venmo account. If you are a non-US-based bidder/donor and you are having trouble finding an organization to which you can donate, please email us directly at fandomtrumpshate @ gmail . com.



As always, we have an option for participating creators to support an organization that's not on our list. You can read our policy on outside organizations here.

 

Earlier we posted a roundup of all of the many awesome kinds of fan labor people have signed up to offer so far. In that vein, we thought it might also be helpful to post a summary of the “other digital fanworks” that are being offered so far, since this category is even more varied and mysterious than fan labor. We’re going to do this again shortly before the auction opens, when we have a complete list of signups – but we’re doing this now in the hopes that the complete list grows a lot between now and next Friday.

Please note that this “other” category is just for digital fanworks, not tangible objects. We don’t include fan crafts in the official auction (you can read more about the reasons here.) We do, however, have a fan crafts bazaar, which will help those interested in fan crafts connect to crafters who want to exchange their crafts for donations toward the auction’s supported causes.

We have nine “other” offerings so far. 

Four of these offers are for fic remixes. (What’s a remix? You can read about it here.) Three of these offers (from the same creator) say “Remix will likely be a freeform poem, but may be a structured poem or a short fic.” The fourth offer promises a remix in traditional narrative format.

Between these four remix offers, the following fandoms are included: Sherlock, James Bond, Doctor Who, Good Omens, Rivers of London, She-Ra, Check Please!, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, and the Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica.

We have one other writing offer (so far), for fan poetry. This creator is offering to write for Yuri!! On Ice, Star Wars, or Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

Our last fic-related offer is super-cool if you’ve ever dreamed of having your own fic in book form: this creator will type-set the bidder’s fic, creating a print-ready PDF of a fic that they can get printed to produce a physical book. This creator is willing to work in any fandom.

We also have some amazing non-print-text-oriented offerings, too!

One creator will adapt an existing piece of fanart and convert it into digital cross-stitch. This creator is willing to create for any fandom, so long as the art is SFW.

Another creator is offering to adapt any teen-or-under rated fanwork in Doctor Who, Tolkien or A Song Of Ice And Fire by translating it into a conlang (Quenya, Gallifreyan, Dothraki, or High Valyrian) and setting that translation to a motion graphic/design video. This creator is a professional designer, and is willing to consult with the bidder on the aesthetic elements of the video.

And finally, we have a creator who will compose music! The bidder will receive an MP3 of the finished piece, as well as sheet music and lyrics (if there are any.) This creator is willing to create for The Adventure Zone, Good Omens and The Magnus Archives.

N.B. Many (though not all) of the creators who are creating on the basis of an existing fanwork are also willing to use someone else’s fanwork as a foundation, so long as the bidder has permission from that fanwork’s creator.

So that’s our “other”-type fanworks, so far. We’re hoping the list grows between 

Are you interested in offering an “other” type of digital fanwork  (or fic, or fan art, or a podfic, or a vid, or fan labor) in this year’s auction? Sign up here. Signups close January 31st.

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.

This series reimagines Arthurian legend wherein the future King Arthur and wizard Merlin are young contemporaries. Arthur's father Uther Pendragon has banned magic in Camelot, forcing Merlin to keep his magical powers secret and act as Prince Arthur’s servant. Over the course of the series the two form a deep friendship as Arthur grows into the mighty king in the legends, and Merlin begins to recast Camelot into power with his developing skills.

Fullmetal Alchemist takes place in the fictional country of Amestris, where alchemy is one of the most-practiced sciences. Alchemists have the ability, with the help of patterns called Transmutation Circles, to create almost anything they desire. However, when they do so, they must provide something of equal value in accordance with the Law of Equivalent Exchange. When a failed alchemical ritual leaves brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric with severely damaged bodies, they begin searching for the one thing that can save them; the fabled philosopher's stone.

The TV series diverges dramatically from the manga plot after the 7th volume, and ends with a sequel film, Conqueror of Shamballa, released in 2005. A second anime series, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, which closely adapts the manga chapters, was later broadcast in 2009.

J.R.R. Tolkien is famous for his high fantasy novels, sparked by the 1937 publication and consequent acclaim of The Hobbit, a story he had originally composed for his children. The Hobbit and its three-part sequel, The Lord of The Rings, are credited with driving a resurgence of the high fantasy genre which focuses on stories set in epic fantasy worlds, with characters of an epic nature. Many of Tolkien’s legends, poetry, history and languages of Middle-Earth were published posthumously under the care of his son, Christopher Tolkien. The Hobbit and LOTR have most recently been transformed into famous filom trilogies by Peter Jackson.

If you’re a fan of quests, of mythological tales and of incredible worldbuilding, then check these offers out! Some are for the more well-known of Tolkien’s publications, others part of his undertaking of a legendarium for Middle-Earth.
