Happy New Year!

[fthmods]

Congratulations on making it to 2020! Your FTH mods are gearing up for the 2020 auction and we hope you are too. We hope you’ve all had a chance to get your fanworks in by the Dec. 31st deadline (or else have worked some other deadline out with your bidder; as long as both of you are happy, we are happy).

Pretty soon, you should start seeing some information about this year’s auction and we encourage you to pass it around! For now, here’s a short list of notable things:

• Creator sign-ups for the FTH 2020 auction will open on January 13th. Stay tuned while we update our calendar to reflect other important dates.
• We will be posting this year’s supported organizations, bidding policies, etc. over the next few days.
• This one may be a bit controversial but bear with us. After a lot of discussion, we have decided that FTH will not be able to accept proof of donations aimed at a particular campaign or candidate(s). There are a few reasons for this, which we will layout in our upcoming updated FAQs. The short explanation is: we want to keep our focus on small organizations whose projects will continue past this year’s elections.

We’re excited to have you join us! As always, feel free to get in touch with us at fandomtrumpshate@gmail.com.

FTH 2020

[fthmods]

 

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.

Dust off your “to write” lists, rinse your brushes, rekindle your passion for your favorite fandoms. We hope to see you there.

T-minus 12 days.
