Ukraine is currently being invaded by Russia. Russia’s president is perpetuating false and irrational “justifications” for why Russia is invading Ukraine. Many people have been killed and even more are being displaced from their homes because of the ongoing violence.
Fandom and our shared love for our favourite characters has always been a way to unite people of various walks of life as a community and in some instances, as a family. The aim is to contribute financially to various, legitimate charities designed specifically to assist with the crisis in the Ukraine and help the people affected.
We are looking for creators in the Pitch Perfect fandom to offer creative services in any capacity—so long as you make fandom content (gifs, moodboards, fics, fanart), we would love to have you on board. Please submit a short sentence about what you can contribute and whether you’d be able to commit to filling prompt requests. Your participation is valuable and voluntary and there are no strict time limits to fulfill a prompt. If you’re a writer, we’re asking for you to aim for a minimum word count of 500 words.
We will update the list of creators on our blog by the end of day Thursday, 11:59 p.m. (EST) so please let us know if you are interested before then by sending an ask indicating what you can contribute and commitment.
We welcome all fandom members from the Pitch Perfect community!
We ask you to open your wallets—at least $10—to the list of organizations below. We initially chose these links among many (though of course you may donate elsewhere at your own prerogative) because of its ability to let you choose among a list of available organizations and allocate your money as you choose.
Proof of a $10 donation (receipt with specific personal information crossed out) and one of our creators will make something in whatever capacity they can for you. You may send in a prompt, but prompts will follow this format: Ship (if any) + Genre/Emotion/Trope. (e.g. Bechloe + Fluff; Chaubrey + Angst; Staubrey + friends-to-lovers).
There are so many things that we can all do to help, this is just one thing that we as a fandom want to do. Please continue to educate, inform, donate, and spread awareness in whatever capacities you can.
If there are any questions specifically about this fundraiser, please let us know via Ask or DM. Please see our FAQ for more information!
Get information out there, give generously, and come together as a fandom. We want to keep this up for at least the month of March.
