A little bit about Fandom Trumps Hate

FTH is an online fanworks auction, designed to raise money for progressive nonprofit organizations that help and support marginalized people. In the past seven years, thousands of fans have joined forces to raise nearly $240,000 for a range of progressive organizations.

Let's Sterek this up and come together to knock Sterek works out of the park! Last year we had 27 Sterek offers and 23 Sterek offers in 2022. Let's up those numbers!

So, what are you willing to offer? If you are an author, artist, beta, or provide other services within fandom, all are welcome!

Check out the list below for different types of fanworks and fan labor to get an idea of what you may like to sign up for.

You can offer any type of fanwork that can be delivered digitally, including:

written fanworks (fic, poetry, remixes, etc.)

digital art, which includes but is not limited to gifsets, manips, mood boards, etc.

podfics

fanvids (including fancams)

b&w version of the manip i colorized for this sterek fic here

[keldjinfae]

This is one part shameless reposting of my 2022 Sterek Reverse Bang fic, and one part letting @giveemhales know that I finally got some time to figure out how to give Discord the finger for no longer hosting images. Sorry it took me so long, but your art is back up and running, and I still love it just as much as I did when you made me shriek in a downtown crosswalk.

Title: I'm Not Asking Questions, I'm Taking My Chances

Art: Charmed and a glorious moodboard. Like, no, seriously. The manip was what inspired me to write the fic in the first place, but the moodboard? Is fucking brilliant. Em perfectly balanced all of the elements of the story and I still can't get over it two years later.

Fandom: Teen Wolf

Pairing: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski

Rating: Explicit

Summary: After a devastating tragedy, the king of Beacon banished all supernatural entities from his kingdom. Ten years later, another devastating tragedy forces Derek to sneak into the kingdom that banished his kind, where he finds himself featuring in a fairy tale more than he ever had while living out in a forest with a pack of werewolves. He doubts that even Stiles appreciates the irony. On some days, anyway.

✨Bidding Now Open!✨

I'm a bit late in making a promo post, but I just wanted to share with you that I'm offering both a Teen Wolf fanfic AND any fandom fanart for @fandomtrumpshate this year! It's my first year participating. I think it's a really cool project, and I'm really happy to be a part of it. (:

My Offers:

(long post including art examples)

DoughritoArt Auction #1 (^ click to see listing!) Organizations this auction benefits: Bidder's choice of any of the listed groups (See full list.) Type of fanwork: Fan art Subtype(s): Banner, Book cover, Drawing/painting/etc., Photo manip Fandom(s): Any Length/scope: Minimum bid is $10 for simple edit, eBook cover, or plain illustration. $20+ full book layout or more complex illustration. $40+ willing to do complex painterly illustrations. Basically, the more you donate, the more complex and detailed the result. Fan art details: High Resolution/print quality Illustration, Banner, or Book Cover. Willing to do full sleeve book cover (Cover, Spine, and Back [including text]) as well. Comfortable with Edits or Illustration, capable of using commercial use assets, happy to discuss specifics. Especially interested in: I am particularly fond of stories involving queer romance, trans characters, and occult imagery. I am fond of both historical and modern fantasy. I really enjoy working with Original stories, but I also like 'underrepresented' fandoms, older fandoms, and superhero media. Unwilling to address: No extreme gore (i.e. Splatterpunk), no graphic horror (mild horror is okay), not super fond of extreme musculature. Struggle with illustrating of anthropomorphism, mecha/machinery, scantily clad/nude women. Other notes: I would like to have a very direct communication with the bidder. I want to make sure I am able to tailor your art to exactly what you want. I would like a lot of input at the initial stage, so I have a good idea of what direction to go (i.e. illustration vs edit and what subject matter), and I would like feedback when presented with multiple options. Special interests: Poly ships, Canonically trans or nonbinary characters, Trans or nonbinary interpretations of canon characters

ThePurebloodPrat Auction #1 (^ click to see listing!) Organizations this auction benefits: Bidder's choice of any of the listed groups (See full list.) Type of fanwork: Written fanwork Subtype(s): fan fiction (new) Fandom(s): Teen Wolf Highest rating: E Length/scope: Depends how much the bidder contributes. Bidding starts at $5 for 2k+ words. Every $5 adds 5k words, i.e. $10 = 7k, $15=12k. Maximum word count minimum is 25k. Minimum Bid: $5 Especially interested in: I am most interested in Sterek, Stackson, Scallison+Stiles, Jydia+Stiles, or other main MLM pairings. I am very open to poly ships. I enjoy some dark themes, but typically prefer to write main pairings in healthier relationships while the dark elements are external in longer plotfics, I don't mind the main pairing featuring dark themes from a kink-oriented perspective. (i.e. if you'd like 5k of a character getting nonconned, I'm cool, but 20k of yandere!character stalking their partner, I am less cool.) I enjoy transmasc characters. fave tropes: creature!Stiles (werewolf, raven shifter, vampire, otherwise supernatural), magic!Stiles, mpreg, Omegaverse, canon divergent, med.fantasy, college au fave characters: Stiles, Derek, Jackson, Lydia, Peter, Erica, Isaac, Allison, Scott, Parrish, Finstock, Sheriff, Boyd, Liam, Corey, Danny I enjoy writing complicated people and complex relationships. I enjoy creative world building. I tend to write very introspectively. Noncon, underage: OK Unwilling to address: Not super into Bad!characters, but willing within reason. No Scat, no bugs, no necrophilia, no Major Character Death, no genderbending. Less extreme, I am less fond of: All human/no wolves AU, Post Apocalyptic AU, Time travel Other notes: I would like to have a consistent communicative relationship. I tend to go weeks without working on something and then binge write a whole huge chunk at once. I would love to be able to shoot a few ideas at you randomly and have you respond in a day or two, to make sure you like the direction I'm going. Special interests: Poly ships, Trans or nonbinary interpretations of canon characters

Here are a few examples of cover art and illustrations I've done:

[sterek-and-stuff-events]

Welcome to the first event!

Now until July 31st!

If you were considering doing something, but were too busy, etc, before or if this is your first time hearing of it, good news: You have a whole other month! (Until the day before the next full moon.)

This will take place between the dates of the next two full moons: June 3rd and July 3rd. (Edit: Now until July 31st!)

June’s is the Strawberry Moon, also called the Rose Moon and the Hot Moon.

July’s is the Buck Moon, also called the Hay Moon, Thunder Moon, Herb/Wyrt Moon, and Claiming Moon.

Depending on the region both are also known as the Mead Moon, hence the name and theme of the event. (The Mead Moon can also refer to the full moon closest to the summer solstice, which is in June most of the time, but is in July this year.) 

The summer solstice is June 21st, Midsummer Eve is June 23rd, and Midsummer Day is June 24th.

There are 3 ways to participate: fic, art or playlists involving 3 or more of the 21 prompts:

3s and 7s, self-expression 

Creative number 21

Fall into Altered Reality 

Frightening, enlightening or fun

 

Aphrodisiacs can induce

lovers, friends or strangers to fuck

The avatar of a dancing deity

Becomes a velvet antlered Buck

 

A courtship hunt before the Claiming

Games and riddles with the Fae

On the night of the next Full Moon

Rendezvous for a roll in the Hay

Herbs and nectar for a Honeymoon 

Converts Hot water into Mead

In the light of the Midnight Sun

A mischievous Midsummer Night’s Dream

Rumination, rambling, and Revelry 

A Ritual at the Rose of a thousand thorns

A Solstice feast of wild plum and Strawberry

Awaits between rainbows and dark Thunder storms

--Event info below--

Rules and requirements:

New or unpublished works are accepted for this event. Feel free to combine with other ongoing or upcoming events.

For Writers:

3,000 words minimum using 3 or more of the 21 prompts. 

This can be one work or multiple works of at least 1,000 words each. No maximum for word count or amount of works. 

For Artists:

Use 3 or more of the prompts to create visuals (drawings, gifsets, manips, vids/edits, moodboards, etc.) Can be one work or multiple. 

For Mixers:

There are 2 options for standalone fanmixes:

Use 3-7 prompts to make a playlist of 21 tracks. At least 3 tracks per prompt used. (For example: A playlist with 4 prompts — 5 songs for Rose, 7 songs for Full Moon, 3 songs for Thunder, and 6 songs for Altered Reality.) Arrange them however you like: all grouped together in segments, whatever flows best, randomly, etc.

Make a playlist of 21 songs with 1 song for every prompt in any order.

If you’re attaching a playlist to a fanfic or art post:

Do whatever you want, but you get extra cool points for 21 tracks and including 1 or more songs for every prompt that you use and/or 3 songs for at least one prompt.

Put your playlists on Spotify, YouTube or both so I can listen to them. 😉

Content:

This is an event for fans of Sterek, but it’s Sterek & Stuff for a reason. I’m a multishipper and some of you might be too, so the deal is if you pay the Sterek Toll you can do other Teen Wolf ships (or pre-ships and gen) in separate works in your series should you desire.

The Sterek Toll is:

At least 2 prompts and 1,000 words of Sterek for writers.

At least 2 prompts and 1 piece of art for artists.

Music is generally up to interpretation so unless you go out of your way to say it’s not for Sterek don’t worry about it, lol. But if mixers want a toll too then it’s 2-7 prompts and a 14 track playlist.  

All Sterek all the time is of course always welcome and there will be a Sterek Only subcollection on AO3 and separate Sterek and NonSterek posts on Tumblr. (Assuming anyone does NonSterek, lol.)

To count as a Sterek fanfic Stiles and Derek have to be together by the end of the work. The story should focus on them, but feel free to include other characters too. 

Sterek Plus and Sterek Poly go in the other ships category and is subject to the Sterek Toll.

Allowed:

Any background ship.

Crossovers as long as the focus is on Sterek (or other TW characters if you’ve paid the Sterek Toll.)

Angst, whump, and dark themes as long as the story (the last related work if it's part of a series) ends on an upbeat or hopeful note and there’s nothing from the Nope section.

Nope:

No permanent death of Stiles or Derek. If you’re doing a series in the same setting they both have to be alive and together (or have the possibility of being together in the future) in the last related work. This applies to other TW works too. (No permanently killing off whoever is in any other main ship either.)

No miserable, tragic endings. Everything doesn’t have to be perfect and happily ever after, but the last related work should at least have a hopeful or “we’ll make the best of this shit” ending for Stiles and Derek (or other main ship.) 

No explicit descriptions or depictions of sexual activity under 16. (Kissing, dating, references or vague descriptions are okay.)

No bestiality. (As in regular animals. Xeno /Tera with beta or full shifted Derek, Stiles, etc, is okay.)

No scat.

No death or gore fetishes. (As in rotting corpses and gaping wounds and stuff. Bloodplay is okay.)

No Real Person Fiction.

Make sure to tag accurately!

Posting:

The event starts at 5:30am PDT (12:30pm GMT) on June 3rd so please don’t post before then. 

Now officially ending at 11:59pm PDT on July 31st (6:59am GMT on August 1st,) but late posting accepted.

On Tumblr:

Tag your work here with #mead moons and #mead moons (prompt) for each prompt that you use. (Ex: #mead moons fae.) At @sterek-and-stuff-events. 

If you’re doing multiple works put links to the previous works in each new post. The requirements (3 prompts, 3,000 words for writers, etc) have to be met by the end of the event.

On AO3:

I’ll post the links to the AO3 collections on the morning of June 3rd. There will be a main Mead Moons collections and subcollections for Music, Art, Stories, and Sterek Only works. 

If you’re doing multiple works put them in a series. (Mead Moons or something related to your prompts.) The requirements (3 prompts, 3,000 words for writers, etc) have to be met by the end of the event.

Do u think you'll ever create amazing Buddie photo manips like u used 2 in the Sterek fandom??? Ur stuff is phenomenal.

Please, you flatter me 🥰

Truth is I haven't felt the need to make any manips like that for Buddie. Probably because the scenes we get with them in canon are already spectacular. I doubt a manip would ever capture the same raw emotions.

But! I still like creating edits for my fics. Did a subtle vampire!Buck manip for my vampire fic, and there's quite a few pics included within my to be found fic. It's nothing as flashy as what I used to do with sterek, but.

And if I do move forward with my idea for a zombie apocalypse AU, I'll definitely make some kind of edits for that one as well. I love providing visuals!!

Shipper Tag Game

I was tagged by @heyholmesletsgo.

1. What ship were you completely obsessed with when you were a teenager, but now you don't care about anymore? Ooh, easy one. Danny and Michelle from Guiding Light. Danny was in the mafia. Michelle killed his brother (when he assaulted her). Danny married her to keep her safe from the rest of his family. They were *chef's kiss*. Probably my first introduction to fandom. There were shipper vids, fics, fan edits. And I mean this was, like, 1998, so it's not like the internet was huge back then. And it's not so much that I don't care in that I haven't thought about them in years. I wonder if there are fics for them on AO3.

2. Which ship would you consider your first one? I'd say Han and Leia.

3. Your first fanfic was about which couple? Trip and T'Pol from Star Trek Enterprise. I do not acknowledge that final episode.

4. Do you remember the first couple you saw fanart of? That depends on how we're defining "fanart". Danny/Michelle had a lot of manips and screencap edits, but the first, like, original art I remember seeing was probably for Ron/Hermione.

5. Have you ever gotten into ship discourse? Dude, I ship Sterek AND Sheith, ship discourse just finds you. But actually the worst for me was when I was in the CSI: NY fandom. People legit hated me there. I got doxxed on LJ. That's one of the main reasons I'm a fairly passive consumer of fandom nowadays. I don't have the energy to deal with that shit.

6. Did you use to have any NOTP or have one currently? Oh I have SO MANY NOTPs. I have a lot of filtered tags on Tumblr. Some of them are ships that squick me out, some of them have annoying or abusive fandoms and that turned me off the ship, and some of them are just I don't like them and don't want to see them.

7. Who were the couple in the last fanfic you read? I was simultaneously reading a SeanWhite (Not Me) and a WangXian (The Untamed) fic.

8. Currently, do you have any OTPs? I mean... Yes?? Have you seen my blog?? SeanWhite and WangXian are the big ones right now but I have so many.

9. Is there any couple that, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting together? Sterek (Stiles/Derek, Teen Wolf) and Sheith (Shiro/Keith, Voltron Legendary Defender). Those fuckers were married, I don't care what garbage "canon" says.

10. Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they are kind of interesting? Not a specific one, but I used to dislike slash on principle because slash shippers treated me like shit when I was in CSI: NY fandom, so I sort of thought they were all like that, and now all of my ships are queer so there you go.

11. Do you have any ship that, in the past, would've been considered normal but now you would be cancelled over? I mean, I think if Sterek and Sheith had been 20 years ago, no one would give a shit, but now the purity patrol polices everything. People are still calling us abusers for those, and those shows ended 6+ years ago.

12. What is your favorite crack ship? I don't really have one, honestly. I have a limited amount of mental energy to spend, so I'd rather focus on my OTPs.

13. What is the couple you read the most fanfics about? Total, ever? I think Merthur, followed by Sterek.

14. What do most of your ships usually have in common? Grumpy is in love with sunshine, sunshine & sunshine protector, usually some variation of that dynamic.

15. What you absolutely hate in a ship? Understanding that this is personal preference and I am not casting judgment on what anyone else ships: ships when there is, like, absolutely no evidence that the two people involved have any romantic feelings for each other. I railed against Leonard and Penny on TBBT for so many years because I'm pretty sure they got them together because they "made the most sense" but in actual canon they were horrible for each other. I have no idea WHY I was supposed to want them together.

I'm not going to tag anyone so if you want to do this, go nuts!

Artists self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five arts/sets/edits/gifs that you've done, then pass on to at least five other people. Time to shine and spread some self-love and appreciation 💖

- this Morgana set is probably the coolest and most competent-looking-giffer thing that i have ever made and i'm still obsessed with it

- i had a lot of fun and am really satisfied with this Derek set, much experimenting was done (and also the feels)

- i love this Kira/Scott/Stiles set both for the aesthetic and colors of it, which i love, and for the thoughts that i dumped in the tags alfkgakdgh

- this Stiles/Void gif took SO MUCH WORK to make happen, it deserves a spot for that alone, but also i still get chills every time i look at it

- why does everybody love hurting Derek so much, Derek gets another set but Sterek-flavored this time, and i'm very happy about the blending in this one

(and now we get some honorable mentions tacked onto the end cuz i was looking through my "favorites of mine" tag like 👀😂: i love the colors in these Hale aesthetics, these Stiles/Derek edits are technically an AU for a very obscure mobile game story but i just also love how it looks and it's still my computer background, this Laura & Derek manip just makes me happy to look at, and idk what it is about this Jackson & Laura kanima aesthetic but it's so goooood XD)

[ivegoneawayinsidemyhead]

I LOVE all your Buddie photo manips!!! I wish u were in the Sterek fandom cuz ur work is amazing. I'm shocked that photo manips in the Buddie fandom don't blow up with notes. Sure they have scenes together on the show but obviously there r other "scenes" we wish we could c and that's where ur amazing talent comes in and fixes that! Lol. Even tho Derek and Stiles obviously had scenes together as well we love photo manips and those posts get notes in the thousands!!! If u ever get bored one day feel free 2 throw some Sterek at us!..... or Bucktommy but I have a feeling ur a devoted Buddie shipper lol (I'm both).

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like them - I have a lot of fun making them (usually lol). I've never seen Teen Wolf, unfortunately, but I am a Buck/Tommy enjoyer, so there's always a chance I'll make more manips for that ship if the mood/idea strikes.

[dirtbagdefender]

New or unpublished works accepted. (Feel free to combine with other events!) No maximum for word count or amount of works.

There are three kinds of events:

Seasonal: 2 or more full moons and generally a solstice or equinox, over 5 weeks. 15-24 prompts.

Moon: 1 moon (full, eclipse or other phases.) Under 5 weeks and during or between seasonal events. 10-13 prompts.

Writers

Seasonal events:

3,000 words minimum using 3 or more prompts. This can be one fic or multiple works of at least 1,000 words each.

1,500 words minimum using 2 or more prompts. This can be for one fic or multiple works of at least 750 words each.

Mini events:

500 words minimum (unless paying the Sterek Toll) using 1 or more prompts/tropes.

Combo writers: If you're doing an art post or a standalone mix too then only the single work minimum is required for Seasonal and Moon events. (1,000 or 750 words.)

Artists

Seasonal events:

Use 3 or more of the prompts to create visuals (drawings, gifsets, manips, vids/edits, moodboards, etc.) Can be one work or multiple. 

Moon events:

Mixers

There are 2 options for standalone fanmixes:

1. Use the prompts (3+ Seasonal, 2+ Moon or 1+ Mini,) to make a playlist. Events will either have a particular number as one of the prompts -- which is how many songs it should have -- or other instructions. Arrange them however you like: all grouped together in segments, whatever flows best, randomly, etc.

2. Make a playlist using 1 song for every prompt (in any order.)

If you’re attaching a playlist to a fanfic or art post:

Do whatever you want! But you get extra cool points for using the event number of tracks and/or some of your prompts.

Put your playlists on Spotify, YouTube or both so I can listen to them. 😉

-Content and posting info below-

Content:

These events are primarily for generating more Sterek, but it’s Sterek & Stuff for a reason. I’m a multishipper and some of you might be too, so the deal is if you pay the Sterek Toll you can do other Teen Wolf ships (or pre-ships and gen) in separate works should you desire.

The Sterek Toll is:

Moon: At least 1 prompt. 750+ words of Sterek for writers and 1 piece of art for artists.

Mini: At least 1 prompt. 500+ words of Sterek for writers (so 1,000+ total for the event) and 1 piece of art for artists.

Music is generally up to interpretation so unless you go out of your way to say it’s not for Sterek don’t worry about it, lol. But if mixers want a toll too then it's 10 tracks, 2+ prompts for seasonal events and 1+ prompts for moon events, or 5 tracks with 1+ prompts for mini events.

There will be Sterek Only subcollections on AO3 and separate Sterek and NonSterek posts on Tumblr (with the exception of one or two post-event total round ups along with the other round ups.)

To count as a Sterek fic Stiles and Derek have to be together by the end. The story should focus on them, but feel free to include secondary characters and ships too. 

Sterek Plus and Sterek Poly go in the other ships category and is subject to the Sterek Toll.

Allowed:

Any secondary or background ship.

Crossovers as long as the focus is on Sterek (or other TW characters if you’ve paid the Sterek Toll.)

Angst, whump, and dark themes as long as there's nothing from the Nope section.

Nope:

(Not judging, I just plan on reading everything so am selfishly dictating things to my tastes, lol.)

No permanent death of Stiles or Derek. If you’re doing a series with the same story then they both have to be alive and together (or have the possibility of being together in the future) in the last related work. (This applies to other TW works too and no permanently killing off whoever is in that main ship either, if applicable.)

No miserable, tragic endings. Everything doesn’t have to be perfect and happily ever after, but the last related work should at least have a hopeful, “we’ll make the best of this shit,” or open ending for Stiles and Derek (or other main character/ship.) 

No explicit descriptions or depictions of sexual activity for characters under 16. (Kissing, dating, references or vague descriptions are okay.)

No bestiality. (As in regular animals. Xeno /Tera with beta, alpha, or full shifted Derek, Stiles, etc, is okay.)

No scat.

No necrophilia, wound-fucking, and such. (Bloodplay, vampires, post vanquishing-our-enemies getting it on, etc, is okay.)

No Real Person Fiction. (As in Hobrien instead of Sterek. If you want Stiles, Derek, etc, to randomly run into Edgar Allan Poe or the Rock or something that's fine, lol.)

Make sure to tag accurately!

Posting:

Begins when the event does. See individual event info for dates.

On Tumblr:

Tag your work here with #(event) and #(prompt) for each prompt that you use, (ex: #spring moons equiphlox, # spring moons equiphlox arranged, #spring moons equiphlox sleepy, #spring moons eclipse whisper,) and @sterek-and-stuff-events. 

If you're doing multiple works either add links to the previous ones at the end or give them all the same tag (ex: #sbm trisk.) Or both.

On AO3:

Collections will be added here either the first day or a day or two before the event.

If it's a Sterek work add it to both Sterek subcollections, general and event specific. (Ex: SaS_Sterek, Sterek_Blue_Moon.) It'll go to the parent collections too.

If it's NonSterek/Sterek+ add it to both parent collections. (Ex: Sterek_and_Stuff_Events, SaS_Blue_Moon.)

If you’re doing multiple works put them in a series.

Late posting

Events go until whenever the next one starts.

When that happens you can still use previous prompts, but you have to make something with the current ones too, either adding the new prompts (3, 2, or 1) to the others or doing separate works.

If the latter, post the current event work first. Only the one work minimum -- 1,000, 750 or 500 words, 1 prompt art, etc -- is needed if the other(s) meet the event requirements. Ex: Posting 1,100 words and using 3 prompts for a current Seasonal event & 2,050 words and 2 prompts from a previous Moon event counts as 3,000+ for the current Seasonal event.

Collections will remain open at least until a similar event comes around the following year.
