People participating in Fandom Trumps Hate

[snowgall]

There are over 500 people offering services for the Fandom Trumps Hate auction which is awesome, if a little overwhelming! Even just looking through the "fandom: Harry Potter" tag brings up what seems like 100 pages

A million thank you's!!!

I was so overwhelmed by the sheer number of pages - I admit to simply closing the page and hoping for people to post on their journals.

You are the best!!

You're so welcome! I'm so glad that this is helpful - I was pretty overwhelmed myself!

Love that a few of the LJ/tumblr crowd are offering something. Let's hope people are willing to bid for it. :))

[snowgall]

Yeah, I think that with so many auctions going, it's possible that some people might not get bids.

But I've decided not to be concerned about it :) I'm going to donate some money no matter what, and the whole thing is a good idea that I'm happy to be participating in even if my offer isn't bid on. I'm not going to take it personally - with 500+ auctions, it's just the way things will be. I just want lots of money to be raised for good causes no matter how it happens ♥

But I also suspect that with so many offerings, people may be overwhelmed and not sure where to start, which is one of the reasons I decided to try to collect these names :)

By the way - I think it's really cool that you're offering translation! That's really unique and different from what other people are doing, and I know how hard it is to do a good translation, so I am so impressed by this!

Aw, I think your attitude is great. Even wishing for everyones' creations being bid on it can't happen. But having bid on two things myself I hope to contribute to the cause. It really doesn't matter how, just that we do. :D

Yes, translations are a lot of work. I do them regularly at work, but only in a scientific context. That's way easier than to get an atmosphere and feelings right. Anyway, if someone bids for one, I'll do my best.

Oh damn. I would've so done this!

:)

I think a lot of people would have, but maybe didn't see it on tumblr. Cross-platform fandoming is a challenge!

But there's still time to bid! Bidding is open until January 20 ♥

Have you checked out @fightbackfic? I believe that's still open!

[zeitgeistic]

I signed up!

This summary is great (and perfect for those of us who find tumblr a bit mystifying!).

[snowgall]

Thanks so much :) I'm just worried I might have missed someone who is active on LJ - there were a lot of pages to go through! If you know of anyone who should be added, let me know ♥

You are the best. I had the tumblr on archive view but even then @fandomtrumpshate is overwhelming

[snowgall]

It really is! I don't envy those mods at all - having to hand-code something like 700 tumblr posts and associated google spreadsheets for bidding! Even though I can think of ways that it could have been made more organized and easier for searching, I completely understand why they wouldn't have the time or energy to do that. It's amazing they managed to do what they did.

Glad you found this list useful :) I noticed that some other people have made lists too, in particular dsudis created some useful tag clouds here, which list everything.
