I’m just beyond delighted to post the image for my Fandom Trumps Hate highest bidder, @saltnhalo. It’s a scene from her BEAUTIFUL fanfic A Lonely Vigil, which I already adore. It just sucks you right in, and if you haven’t begun reading it, I HIGHLY recommend it. (Also, while I won’t spoil anything, this MIGHT seem sad at first glance, but IT ISN’T, I SWEAR IT. Just READ IT.)

If you like my work, consider leaving me a tip!

If you like Saltnhalo’s amazing writing, leave her a tip (she deserves it and it’s way tougher for writers out there!)

FTH High Bidder Reward

I meant to post this right after I finished it, but 2020 got in the way. The delightful @totallysilvergirl​ was my high bidder for Fandom Trumps Hate 2020 and I prepared their Johnlock series “Drawn to Stars” for printing.

This is the cover:

And here is a sample of what the interior looks like:

The Fandom CDC: supporting one another through the current crisis

This is an extra-scary time for -- well, just about everyone, but particularly for the folks in our community who are financially precarious. We know that some in our community rely on sales of various types of fan crafts and merchandise as part of their normal income, and some need the extra income now because of hardships related to the COVID-19 crisis.

We also know that there are a lot of people in our community who want to help others out financially and would love a chance to get some new fandom stuff while stuck at home and bored -- or to buy faraway friends a little pick-me-up!

In order to connect the latter folks with the former, we've set up a directory of fan creators who are relying on these sales for income right now. We're calling it the Fandom Central Directory of Creators, or Fandom CDC. It includes people selling handcrafted items as well as those with print-on-demand stores like Redbubble or sites like Patreon -- anyone who is using their fan creations to keep afloat.

You can find the directory here!

If you'd like to sort or filter the spreadsheet by fandom, you can copy it to your own Gdrive, but be sure to check back every few days for an updated copy!

Questions? We’ve got answers below the cut.

Q: Are these sites affiliated with FTH?

A: No. We're setting up a directory, but the listings are not raising money for our usual organizations, they are helping their creators make a living just like they usually do. We are not affiliated with any of them beyond listing them in this directory. We are not evaluating or vetting the sites we list, and we do not endorse or take any responsibility for the items they are selling or their selling practices.

Q: Is it safe to order handcrafted items right now?

A: COVID-19 can stay on smooth surfaces like plastic for up to 72 hours (3 days) and porous surfaces like cardboard for up to 24 hours. We recommend that you do NOT use priority or express shipping, and if your item gets to you in under three days, don't open it for a day or two. As long as it's been 72 or more hours since it was shipped, even if it turns out the crafter was a carrier you should be in no danger. However, the decision is ultimately up to you and your risk tolerance. If you are concerned, you can always ask the crafter about their sanitary procedures, etc before ordering, or stick to digital items.

Q: There are other lists of fanwork shops. Why do we need another one?

A: Many of us (including some of the FTH mods) sell fandom-related crafts or designs as a hobby or side gig for extra money, but don't rely on that money to make ends meet. We wanted to focus specifically on fans who do rely on it, or who are being forced to in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, so that those of us with money to spare can support our fellow fans. If you are looking for a larger, more general list of fan stores, try Copperbadge’s!

Q: How do I add my shop to the list?

A: If you rely on your fan creations for income or need the extra source of income during this crisis, you can list your shops using our form here: https://forms.gle/s31F3w5LhyYS593X9  - Be sure to fill it out once for each site you'd like to list.

I Loaf You, With All My Heart.

Fandom: The Witcher (Netflix) Pairing: Geralt/Jaskier Warnings/Rating: No Archive Warnings Apply/Gen Audience Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting; Established Relationship; Married Geraskier; Parents Geraskier; Baking; Happy; Domestic Bliss ;Domestic Fluff; Fluff; Baking Jaskier; Sappy; Geralt is very in love with his husband; and Jaskier is very in love with his husband; and they both dearly love their daughter.

Summary:

It wasn’t often Jaskier had the entire house to himself. Usually Ciri was there, laughing and playing — either accompanied by himself or Dara over for a playdate — or Geralt was making some sort of ruckus from the garage. Either from working on his trusted old motorbike, aptly named Roach, after his beloved horse from childhood; or pounding away at punching bag, he used to get out his frustration from his rather... idiotic clients.

It wasn’t often Jaskier had the entire house to himself. Usually Ciri was there, laughing and playing — either accompanied by himself or Dara over for a playdate — or Geralt was making some sort of ruckus from the garage. Either from working on his trusted old motorbike, aptly named Roach, after his beloved horse from childhood; or pounding away at punching bag, he used to get out his frustration from his rather... idiotic clients.

But today was a rare day where he had the entire house to himself. 

Yen, Triss and Renfri had opted to take Ciri out with them, for an overdue girls’ day they’d claimed as they bustled the young girl out of the house that morning. Geralt had frowned, eyes narrowed at them, but had said nothing to dissuade them. 

Jaskier wondered which one of them he was more scared of, to inquire about their plans with his princess. Probably all three of them, and rightly so. The women in their life were utterly terrifying creatures. 

Jaskier loved them all so dearly.

Read rest on Ao3.
