We still have several bidders whose emails are bouncing! We have multiple possible usernames for each of them - if you know anyone who goes by any of these, or something similar, let us know and tell them to email us at fandomtrumpshate at gmail dot com ASAP! They will lose their auctions if we don't hear from them by Wednesday evening.

We have officially hit send on all high bidder emails - if you believe you were the high bidder on an auction (and your bid was registered before 8:00:05pm EST) and you don't have an email from us, please let us know! Check your spam folder as well as Social and Promotions tabs, and if it's not in any of those places, please email us at fandomtrumpshate @ gmail . com.

If your email address is bouncing so we haven't been able to get in touch with you, and don't hear from you by Wednesday night (March 5), we will pass your auction down to the next highest bidder.

Bidders:

Please do not send in donation receipts yet! You'll soon receive an email from us listing your high bids and the link to the donation proof form. If you don’t have a Google account you will need to email them to us but please wait and send it as a reply to this email!

In fact, it’s best if you wait to get our email before you donate at all, just to make sure our records match yours in terms of which auctions you won for how much, and which organizations your creators chose.

Creators:

We know that some of you are excited to offer gifts to your second bidders! As it mentions in the email you got last night, please wait and let us coordinate this, as we need to make sure we have accurate records of everything. We will email you in a couple of days asking if you want to extend a second chance offer, and if you do, we’ll email your bidder.

Both bidders and creators - Please remember not to put pressure in either direction when it comes to second chance offers! Not all creators have time/energy to extend them, and not all bidders can afford to accept them. This is one reason to let us handle all communication, so that nobody feels personally on the hook for something that they have not yet committed to.

We love the post-auction energy and we are SO HYPED to find out what our final total will be (all we know now is… it’s BIG), but as the auction grows it gets even more important for us to keep accurate records… and unfortunately it also takes longer for us to coax Google’s tools into generating everything we need. Thank you for your patience!

Find some more food for thought in this post while you wait...

fthmods

It will take a while to get all the Google forms actually closed, so please remember that any bids that register on the spreadsheet later than 8:00:05PM EST will not be counted as valid.

Both creators and bidders, please sit tight for email from us before doing anything else!

Thank you all for an amazing, record-breaking FTH!

🪡 The golden needle tag is now live!

We know how hard it is to browse EVERY auction, especially with over 1600 on offer this year. As we enter the last 30 hours of the auction, we’re opening up the ’golden needle’ tag.

This features all auctions that are looking for their first bidder - that could be you!

So take a look at what’s on offer, and if you haven’t put your first bid down yet, now is the time to get some golden needles in our very large haystack.

fthmods

bidding is now open! now through Saturday, March 1st at 8pm EST.

an important note about tags this year:
the auction is so huge this year that we broke Dreamwidth's tagging system. Yes, really. When you have more than 500 posts in a tag, additional tagged posts stopped showing up. That means that searching by tags wouldn't work for any of the offerings that were not included in the first 500.

Don't worry, we have fixed it! We have split those larger tags (for example: in addition to "rating: e", we now also have "rating: e 2" and "rating: e 3") so that everyone's offers are findable, one way or another. See the tag list for exact tag names.

This does, however, complicate the process of searching by tags. As you go:
* don't forget to check 2 (and 3) as well as the original tag
* if you do a multi tag search, remember to do it multiple times, one for each version of the tag

here is a list of the affected tags:
audience: 18+
audience: all ages
fanwork: written
fanwork: written: fanfiction
rating: e
special: aro/ace characters
special: f/f
special: gen/platonic works
special: poly
special: rarepairs
special: trans/nonbinary interpretations

Sorry for the extra fuss, and happy bidding!

The 2025 Fan Crafts Bazaar is now open!

We don't allow physical fanworks in the main auction for a variety of reasons, so to accommodate these we started the FTH Fan Crafts Bazaar.

This year the Bazaar is a record size, with 28 crafters offering a wide variety of crafts in dozens of fandoms (and plenty who will create for any fandom you like).

Every crafter has set up their own stall with their own policies - some are offering custom-made creations while some are ready to ship; some are holding their own auctions while some items have a set price. So be sure to read the details carefully!

The Bazaar will stay open until March 10, so if you don't win the auctions you have your eye on in the main event, head back over there to find other places to direct your donations toward! (But some may be ending their auctions earlier than the 10th, while others may run out of ready-made stock before then, so check those details.)

We'll also continue to add stalls as they come in over the next couple of days, so be sure to check again in a few days to see what's been added - and if you're a crafter who hasn't had a chance to sign up, you still can!

Fandom Trumps Hate 2025 is open for browsing!

The easiest way to find what you’re looking for is our tags page - use ctrl/command-F (or Find In Page in your mobile browser’s menu) to find the fandom or username you’re looking for, or feel free to scroll and browse through our 600+ fandoms!

If you’re a creator, you should have an email with the link you’ll need to submit edits. If you haven’t gotten one (remember to check Spam and Promotions folders!), email us ASAP.

Bidding starts February 25 at 8am and closes March 1 at 8pm.

Come take a look at what's on offer!

We are hard at work getting your signups processed, posted, and tagged. While we do that, we wanted to address one bit of the auction that some people find confusing: Specialty tags

What are specialty tags?

We introduced specialty tags to the auction just a few years ago. The idea is that, while finding an auction to bid on by fandom and fanwork type is a great start, it would be great for people who enjoy harder-to-find tropes and types of work to be able to seek out the creators who especially enjoy those same things. We started out with a handful of specialty tags and have added a couple each year as we hear from participants what they would find most useful.

So if you find a fanfic auction tagged special: rarepairs, that means that that author particularly enjoys writing rarepairs, so if you're looking for a rarepair fic in that fandom, you should probably check the auction out!

What does a specialty tag NOT mean?

It does NOT mean that that creator will ONLY create things that fit within that tag. The rarepairs author above might be totally happy writing for the fandom juggernaut, too. So don't discount an auction just because you don't want anything in its specialty tags!

It also does NOT mean that that person is willing to create for ANY AND ALL prompts that might fit within that tag. The rarepair writer may only write rarepairs for one of the three fandoms they're offering, or there may be a few pairings they won't write. It's still important to read the text of the auction carefully, and if you're looking for something very specific contact the creator before bidding to make sure they'd be able to give you what you're looking for.

What are this year's specialty tags?

Once again, we have added a few new ones this year so we have a total of 13 specialty tags, and creators could choose up to 6 for each of their auctions:

Ambiguous endings
Aro/ace characters
Canonically trans/nonbinary characters
F/F ships
Gen (no ship) or platonic works
Genderswap/genderbending
Nonwhite characters’ racial or cultural experiences
Poly ships
Racebending
Rarepairs
Reader insert
Trans/nonbinary interpretations of characters
Unhappy endings.

fthmods

...but not before we smashed through all of our records: this year, we had 1,223 people sign up to offer a total of 1,647 fanworks. That's incredible.

We're going to go dark here for a few weeks while we put together the auction site. Once it's done, we will open it up for browsing period, which is the pre-auction period when you'll be able to peruse all of the rad fanworks on offer and strategize about how you're going to bid. Browsing period is scheduled to begin on February 21st.

We're taking advantage of the long gap to roll out a new project we've been working on: Fandom Trumps Hate Action. This project will offer resources, encouragement, and concrete guidance to folks in the fandom community who are interested in moving toward meatspace activism. Right now it's just on tumblr, and some aspects of it (such as collecting and reblogging fans' personal stories about getting involved in activism) are going to stay on tumblr, but we are hoping to set up a partial mirror of some of the more stable aspects of it (such as the recommended reading lists) sometime after this year's auction.

And remember that if you're interested in raising money for our supported orgs with either tangible fancrafts (like fanbinds or keychains) or with premade digital crafts (like downloadable coloring book pages) you can still sign up for the craft bazaar!

Before you sign up, some reading material (if you’re a returning creator, please give them another look, as we have changed a few things!)

FTH FAQ
What to expect on the signup form
A brief overview of this year’s changes
Wh ich fandoms are on this year’s list (but of course you can write in any fandoms you like)
FTH 2025 Calendar
List of Supported Nonprofits

We also wrote a little self-care reminder. The short version: we want to acknowledge that this year will be hard for many people for many reasons, and that stress can take a toll on creativity. Keep your own well-being in mind when planning your FTH offerings, and only offer what you really want and feel able to do. We’d truly rather have fewer sign-ups than have FTH deadlines cause you excessive stress at the end of the year.

The Fandom Trumps Hate Fan Crafts Bazaar

Every year, we get emails and comments from people who make physical fan crafts or art who want to list their creations in FTH. There are a variety of reasons that non-digital fanworks are not a good fit for the way we run the main FTH auction, but in 2020 we introduced the Fan Crafts Bazaar, a way for fan crafters to support our orgs parallel to the main auction.

FTH 2025 Fan Crafts Bazaar Calendar:

Jan 20 - Signups open
Feb 21 - Fan Crafts Bazaar Opens
Feb 25 - Signups close (yes, we keep taking signups and adding them to the Bazaar even after it's open!)
March 10 - Last day to take orders/donations (though you can close your stall before this if you'd like)
March 12 - We need all donation totals from crafters

We've posted in-depth profiles of each of this year's supported organizations over on tumblr. DW is a different platform than turmblr, and we don't want to spam you -- so instead of mirroring each and every individual post, here is a convenient list of links to those in-depth profiles. We hope it will be useful to you whether you’re getting involved as a creator, or a bidder, or both!

Bellingcat

Congo Leadership Initiative

Crips for eSims for Gaza

Disability Law United

Environmental Integrity Project

Fight for the Future Education Fund

Freedom to Read Foundation

Global Project Against Hate And Extremism

Hope for Ukraine

In Our Own Voice: National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda

Middle East Children’s Alliance

National Network to End Domestic Violence

Umbrella: orgs serving vulnerable LBGT people

and, as an addendum, a list of organizations doing various kinds of disaster relief around the LA wildfires. (These organizations aren’t officially on our 2025 list, but we know that many of you might be interested in directing support this way as per our policy on write-in organizations.)

fthmods

Every year, we put together a focused list of small, progressive nonprofits that are making the world a better place on a very small budget. When you participate in the auction, you have a chance to help those amazing organizations out while also enriching your fandom!

This year's organizations work toward a range of causes: resisting censorship, journalistic integrity, civil rights, disability rights, reproductive rights, and human rights, provide humanitarian aid, and that bolster efforts to educate and create leaders for democracy around the world.

We'll be posting more detailed profiles of each of these organizations over the next few weeks.

Umbrella: LGBT Orgs

As we've done for the last four years, FTH is once again offering one “umbrella” category. This year our umbrella category is community organizations serving and supporting vulnerable members of the LGBT community. We're providing a handful of exemplary organizations working in communities where the need is especially acute, but we invite participants to donate to their own local grassroots organization as well.

Brave Space Alliance
Kentucky Health Justice Network Inc *
Sherlock’s Homes Foundation *
TransFamily Support Services
TransQueerPueblo
or a similar organization working in your community!

Organizations marked with an asterisk (*) allow for international donations directly through their websites. The orgs without asterisks may take international donations through a paypal or venmo account. If you are a non-US-based bidder/donor and you are having trouble finding an organization to which you can donate, please email us directly at fandomtrumpshate @ gmail . com.

As always, we have an option for participating creators to support an organization that's not on our list. You can read our policy on outside organizations here.

We’re back, folks! FTH is back for be our ninth (!) auction, and there’s lots of good work to be done. (What is Fandom Trumps Hate?)

In this post you’ll find the calendar for the 2025 auction, along with links to some useful information, including this year’s list of supported organizations. (All of these same links can be found in our masthead, but since that’s not visible on mobile we wanted to make them easy to find elsewhere.) You’ll also find dates for our Crafts Bazaar. (wait, the what? Read more at our 2024 Crafts Bazaar page.)

Here is this year’s list of supported organizations. We’ll be posting more detailed profiles of each of them over the coming weeks. We also encourage you to look at the Auction FAQ (which has lots of useful information for people thinking about signing up as creators, as well as dedicated sections on bidding and on nonprofit orgs.) If you’re raring to go, you can look at our bidding policies.

Lastly, in a couple of weeks we’ll be kicking off our newly-revived offscreen activism tumblr blog, FTHAction. If you're on tumblr, give us a follow!

FTH2025 Auction Calendar

Monday, January 20th: creator signups open for both the auction and the crafts bazaar

Sunday, February 2nd: creator signups close.

Wednesday, March 12: proof of donations due

…and if you’re thinking the gap between the end of signups and the beginning of browsing period looks long: we have also noticed this! In order to accommodate some back-end changes that will help the auction run more smoothly, we’ve given ourselves an extra week to get ourselves set up. We’ve also got some stuff in the works to occupy that time – we’ll say more about that when the time arrives.

Together, we’re going to make sure that there is at least one (1) good thing in the world with the number 2025 attached to it.
