Fandom Trumps Hate 2018

fuckyeahcaptainamericapolyamory:

Hey peeps!

Just wanted to give a PSA that the @fandomtrumpshate auction is live for 2018! Bidding ends January 14th at 11:59 EST. There’re a ton of people offering fic/art/vids/podfic/betaing/etc for the MCU. And I noticed plenty of people saying they were poly-positive, if you’re into that! 😉

I bid on a few auctions last year; Mistakes Like This by seratonation and Becoming Real by iwillnotbecaged are two fics that made it on this blog (and hopefully another straggler will be coming in sometime soon!). I’d say it was overall a pretty good experience–the money goes directly to charity and not the people you bid on (you just provide proof of donation receipt to the auction organizers), so even if there was a case where an author didn’t come through with the final product, I didn’t feel too bad. At the end of the day, it’s about doing something good for the world–the fanfic is just a super-awesome bonus. ^_^

I’m getting excited for the bids this year, so I wanted to spread the word! If donating to charity and getting sweet, sweet fandom goodness at the end of it sounds fun to you, consider giving it a go!

Resistance Fic

bethagain:

So I won several different FTH auctions, and now there are a number of beautifully talented writers, from many different fandoms, who have agreed to write fic in protest of the evil that Trump and his cronies want to bring to the world.

I’ve been thinking of this in my own head as Resistance Fic. Tonight it occurred to me that this could be an actual Thing.

How about it?  Every time you post a story in support of freedom, of peace, of diversity, of kindness… Every time you put something out there that would piss off a white supremacist, that would horrify a Nazi… Every time you write something in support of people who might be afraid right now…

How about tagging it with “Resistance Fic?”

Fiction is a powerful thing. It teaches us lessons, open up new horizons, gives us strength when we’re scared or sad. Lets us know we’re not alone.

Let’s make it part of the Resistance.
