The 2026 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's Bazaar is so far tying last year's record of 28 crafters offering a wide variety of crafts in dozens of fandoms (and many 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 have items for a set donation. So be sure to read the details carefully!

The Bazaar will stay open until March 18, 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 18th, 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!

contrary to popular belief not everyone has an innate sense of internal gender or care to have one or seek a name for it, some people go their whole lives without questioning their occupation in one of two gender roles, but for some people, if pressed, they don’t feel that internal sense of ‘i am a woman’ or ‘i am a man’, and in that case i feel the switch over to transgender vs cisgender relies on active identification of a gender other than the one they were assigned. if someone’s like ‘idk dude I just work here’ then that’s valid

#i would describe my gender as not exactly ‘idk dude i just work here’ #more like…..when someone assumes you work somewhere that you don’t #but you know how to help them so you do it anyway #my gender is wearing a red shirt at a target

These are the best tags

A portion of people in the notes are like ‘but that makes you trans. That’s called being agender’ and another portion of people are going ‘this is how the majority of cis ppl feel and it’s NOT agender’ and personally I feel like both of them are missing the point here. Yes a lot of people identify as agender because of this feeling. Yes a lot of people with this same feeling still identify as cis. These are not mutually exclusive experiences and it doesn’t mean the agender people are secretly cis or the cis people are secretly agender. It just means they have very similar experiences of gender that they choose to conceptualize and label differently, and neither of them are mistaken or wrong to do so.

Hello! Here is a follower rec. Inspired by the magpie rhyme, this au is magic and witches. I enjoyed reading this and learning a little mythology along the way! - Anon

The Music Shopkeeper and the Witch

by Rookseeksraven (@rookseeksraven)

E, 27k, Wangxian

Summary: “One for sorrow.” Lan Wangji spoke before he registered that he was now standing directly in front of the man. The man’s playing stopped and his eyes snapped open. He raised a hand, but then his large, sun-threatening smile spread over his face, and his shoulders drooped as he fell back against a tree trunk. “Ah, you again.” He absently petted the chest of the magpie at his shoulder, fussed a bit with their feathers before settling again. “You also believe my magpie brings sorrow?” Lan Wangji’s face was contorted into a scowl naturally at seeing the man’s brashness, but the question sounded so like his mother, that he softened. “No.” “No?” The man smiled, eyes sparkling with something, something, something. “No. They simply impart the news. They do not cause it.” “Hmm.” The man hummed, petted the bird again, and then motioned around him. “Care to join me? It’s a lovely day.” Or: Lan Wangji lives in a small seaside village where he meets Wei Wuxian, a witch who searches for a lost boy with his magpie familiar.

Are there any Untamed fanfics out there wherein Wangxian has their first time in between the evening scene in the Jingshi and the morning after in episode 43? (see this analysis by @bug-catcher-in-viridian-forest which I accept as a headcanon) Looking for fic recs.

I'm also looking for fic recs on post Untamed series romance that leads to Wei Wuxian's confession (which by fandom osmosis I have learned was supposed to be in the Guanyin Temple scene) and the all famous "Everyday means everyday." love scenes. Completed fics are preferred but not needed.
