Yep, yep, the pain fades fast. I have just signed up for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fandomtrumpshate again. I both upped my bid to min $15 and ticked the 10-20k box because let's face it, the fic is going to end up there anyway. This year I'll be offering are Good Omens, Guardian and Harry Potter. As usual though, I am open to discuss any other fandoms too as long as I know the canon or have a reasonable chance to familiarise myself with it.
The sign-ups are open until 31st of Jan, and you can browse the bids from 17th of Feb. The actual bidding period is short and intense, 24th-28th of Feb. Check the community for details! I'll link to my offer once it goes up in case you are interested in bidding.

However! I also really wanted to boost the project the community mods are doing: Boosting Fan Labour, i.e. beta reading (and equivalent to vids, art etc), expertise offered in e.g. cultural or professional knowhow, translations...
Check the link for all the details but I thought this was a really cool and worthwhile effort! They are looking for testimonials from fan labourers and those who have benefitted from their efforts, so maybe consider doing that (shout out to my two most recent betasfledge and dreamersdare here!). In addition, they are setting up a 'Regiment of Fan Labourers' to support the FTH writers mostly, where people can donate to the charities listed in exchange for help. You can sign up for that if you don't want to/can't offer fanworks!
