"other" type fanworks roundup

[fthmods]

So what’s an “other” fanwork, anyhow? These are fanworks which, although they are deliverable digitally, do not fit neatly into any of our five standard categories for digital fanworks (fic, art, video, podfic, or fan labor.) We’ve got about a dozen of these offers this year, and we wanted to tell you about each of them indvidually, since “other” is not exactly an illuminating category.

 

We have an any-fandom offer to create digital cross-stitch out of an existing piece of fanart. (Please note that this creator is only willing to work with SFW art.)

We have not one, but TWO any-fandom offers to format your fic like a printed book! Both creators will send you PDF files that are print-ready. Here is the first offer, and here is the second (which also includes the creation of a photomanip cover.)

We have a couple of offers to create an original song or piece of music. One of these offers is any-fandom, though the creator notes that they are particularly interested in LGBTQ themes. The second offer is specifically for Good Omens, the Adventure Zone, or the Magnus Archives, from someone who prefers to focus on female characters.

We have several different kinds of fic remix offers. Four of these are offers to remix an existing fic into a poem, and one is for a prose-to-prose remix. Three of these poetry offers are from the same creator, and include seven fandoms (and several subfandoms for each): Sherlock Holmes, James Bond, Dr Who, Good Omens, Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica, Check Please!, and Rivers of London. The fourth poetry offer is for Sherlock Holmes, Good Omens, or Harry Potter. The prose remix offer is open to stories in Sherlock, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries or She-Ra.

We have several creators offering to compose fan poetry or filks. These three offers encompass different fandoms (including one any-fandom offer), different rating levels, and different poetic structures, so if you’re interested in poetry, take a look at all three: here, here, and here and here.

We have two people offering to make games! The first offer is for a game made in Twine or Knytt, and is open to Gravity Falls, Knytt or fairy tales fandoms. The second is an any-fandom offer that is more focused on teaching you to make your own game and helping you produce your first one. (This one straddles the border with fan labor, but we’re putting it here for roundup purposes.)

We have an offer from a fandom stats-master to do fandom statistics on a topic of your choice. This offer includes an option on in-depth analysis of those stats.

We have a creator who will a) translate your teen-or-under fic into a conlang (Quenya, Gallifreyan, Dothraki, or High Valyrian) and incorporate that translation into a motion graphic video. This creator is a professional designer, and is willing to consult with the bidder on the aesthetic elements of the video. This offer is open to Doctor Who, Tolkien, and Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones fandoms.

And finally, we have two auctions that aren’t in the main “other” category, but are in fan art: other because they don’t quite fit in with the usual fan art offerings: one creator who will create digital paper dolls of your favorite Marvel or Star Trek characters, and one who will design a set of printable planner pages using any fandom you like as a theme.

Bidding is now open, so head over to fth2020offerings and check it all out!

 

Group Bidding Policy

[fthmods]

Planning to pool your money with friends to do some group bidding? Be sure to read our new Group Bidding Policy - we’ve changed some things from last year! Most importantly, groups need to bid under ONE name and ONE email address, and if EITHER of those change you need to let us know immediately.

Group bidding can look a lot like trolling or shilling if we don’t know what’s going on, and not following our policies could result in your bids being deleted!
