Okay, so I guess it's fine to drop this now since it's February 23. I made an Effie and Haymitch piece for the @fandomsunited4hr charity. This was under some time constraints and I never really went ham with the background as I wanted, though this just makes me want to make a 'choose your own story' game with dialogues.

When I was 12, I remember shipping them so hard and loving their characters the most. In my 20s, I still love them, though not exactly the same as I did when I was a kid and a teen, but they are still very important to me. Hence why I chose them.

Also belated Valentines to my childhood OTP <3 I will make a proper art of them in my spare time when I can, because who doesn't love Hayffie?

Oh my god. This week, Emily and V discovered the existence of the single most galaxy-brain brilliant fanfiction of all time. No spoilers, but you WILL NOT predict ANY facet of this story. Also, we delve into the extremely long and impressive (and sometimes hilarious, because the '90s) history of Hanson fanfiction, AKA Hanfic. The Wayback Machine really earned its $2 donation this week, folks, because it turned up some pure gold.

Hurricane Helene devastated Asheville, North Carolina and other areas. It is the deadliest mainland hurricane since Hurricane Katrina, and an estimated $53 billion dollars will be needed for North Carolina to recover. Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games home is in Appalachia; additionally, The Hunger Games movie was filmed in Asheville. To help support relief to those affected in the area, a fundraiser was created by those in the Fandom. This fundraiser entails a PDF zine of more than 30 plus pieces of fanart and fanfiction totaling over 330 pages of work. Those who donate to an approved charity toward relief from Hurricane Helene will receive this exclusive collection. A list of charities can be found on the fundraiser’s tumblr, @fandomsunited4hr.

Omg I know I read it before, but I was still giggling as I reread your FUHR fic!! I love how oblivious Katniss and Peeta are to how unhinged they sound.

‘Seeing her today, so close to what would have been our 15th anniversary…’

PEETA!! Sir!

I don’t remember the last few paragraphs from my initial read, but it’s the perfect ending!!

Love love love!

@mollywog!! Thank you!! I am so grateful to you for betaing. I tried something different with the pacing and I was unsure. I only had the guts to submit once you said you liked it! ❤️

Peeta really did think he could turn that date around, truly delusional. 😭

Great catch! I ended up changing the last bit slightly because @unnamednarrator suggested I have something a bit more definitive and hopeful.

And honestly, a purely hopeful ending works the best because the angst possibilities are endless! Whose family absolutely hates the other one now? Which side did their friends choose? Which one's had a one-night stand that they need to confess to? Will they ever be able to truly forgive each other??

If you are curious what this is all about, check out how you can access the Helene Collection below! It is pure talent and I've been having the time of my life. 🫶🏼

Is there a minimum we should be donating? I'm low on funds and want to help (plus I'm curious about the content) and want to see if it's possible/in the cards/able to be budgeted for.

There is no minimum for donation! We gladly accept any monetary amount that people can kindly offer! That includes in any currency as well!

What has been the most surprising part of the Helene Collection? And/or what's your favorite?

Hi Anon!

Ooooph. I am roughly halfway through the collection at the moment, and it is fantastic, I am floored by this gathering of so many beautiful works in one place. It's such a privilege to read/view everyone's art. As I am one of the slowest readers on the planet, I have been trying to read two per day, and to message everyone because all of the creators deserve some love for all that they've accomplished and contributed!

One thing that strikes me is the wealth of creativity, how we all are overflowing with so much incredible talent and, even after well over a decade of fandom, there can still be such striking works, be they fiction or art. I think it goes to show that the biggest beauty of fandom is what we each bring to it, and part of us all calling out isn't just into a void- it's to provide a connection.

And, in this case, it's a connection which is being pushed into something even more beautiful, that being helping others through donations and raising awareness of the continued struggles people are facing following Hurricane Helene.

I'm going to give two special shout-outs to @sadieillustrates 's Everlark Embrace which is GORGEOUS; and @dracoisalooker76 's fusion of Stranger Things and THG, it is so, so well crafted.

If anyone who hasn't had the opportunity, please go to @fandomsunited4hr and get involved to gain access to this beautiful collection!!

I loveeee for your FUHR piece how you weave together the timelines and stories; and how you build your world so, so well, and wrap it all together beautifully!❤️❤️

Thank you! I was very inspired by The Last Five Years to have one timeline moving forward and the other backward. Even though it's different as they aren't going along the same chunk of time, I think this structure helped make the story more dynamic than sticking to both going in chronological order. Plus there are ways that each one interacts with the section next to it that works out better with the two different directions (my favorite being the last two sections, with the connection the of start of Kaitlin's story and the conclusion of Katniss's).

If reading a fic where Victorian!Everlark move from Peeta's death backward to their first meeting, while reincarnated Modern!Everlark move from their first (re)meeting to their marriage sounds interesting to you, check out @fandomsunited4hr for access to the 300+ page collection of THG fanart and fanfic and do some good helping the relief from Hurricane Helene.

[charlunday]

Coriolanus Snow you better hope I don't catch you in the streets or you're going to catch these hands

commissions open!

[thesunpersists]

Sorry, I’m going to fan girl over your FUHR story. It was so well-written, and I loved reading every word. It honestly felt like I was watching a movie scene in my brain. The back and forth between Katniss and Peeta on their dates was so funny and just so fun to read.

Reading it, I knew right away that it will be a hit with the readers. And it is 🤭

Thank you!

@disgurrr!! ❤️❤️❤️

I was so excited to share my work, and this first feedback means the world! Romantic comedies and sitcoms are always such a huge inspiration for me, and that was exactly the vibe I was going for. I even pictured the camera pans between the scenes while writing :)

Thank you so much! First, for organizing such a meaningful project to gather donations and then for your incredibly kind and supportive comment! 🫶🏻

Everyone, donate to one of the approved charities to access the Helene Relief collection! More info at @fandomsunited4hr!

[atelierlili]

the art you did for the fandom relief thing was so cute!!

Aw thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

If anyone is interested in seeing my and other people's unpublished, exclusive work for the Hurricane Helene Charity Collection check out @fandomsunited4hr and donate at one of our approved charities here!

[thelettersfromnoone]

Your FUHR piece 🥺

You have a way of writing emotions so vividly: I’m feeling the anxiety and nostalgia right along with them. All the details and back story you sprinkled in really brought the characters in this AU to life!

Also “unc’mitch” 🩶

🩶🩶🩶

Aadlfghbadlfg thank you!!! I am so, SO excited to see what everyone's written!

(HC in this universe, Uncle Haymitch was too big of a mouthful for poor Rosie... so now Unc'mitch is his forever title, haha!)
