fandomtrumpshate:

It’s (almost) the most wonderful time of the year! Fandom Trumps Hate is back online for another year, and we’re hoping to raise even more money to benefit the vital organizations that are fighting back against the Trump regime and supporting those most vulnerable.

If you are a fan creator, or if you have fan labor skills (e.g. beta-ing, translation) then you can help the auction by offering your skills! We are accepting participants in five categories, each very broad: fic, art, podfic, vids, and fan labor.

If you are a consumer of fanworks, you are no less vital to this auction’s success! Once bidding opens, you can bid for fanworks in any of these categories. Your donations will go directly to one (or more) of the nonprofits on our list: we are a zero-overhead operation, run entirely by volunteers.
