Fandom Trumps Hate

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.
