Sign up for Fandom Trumps Hate by February 2nd!!!

The @fandomtrumpshate online charity auction is back for its 9th year! This is a fantastic way for the fandom community to raise money for small, progressive non-profits working to protect marginalized people.

We'd love to see more auction offerings from the Nimona fandom this year. Creators must sign up by February 2nd and can offer fanfic, fanart, fanvids, podfic, fan labor (including beta reading), and more! Winning bidders will receive a gift in thanks for their donation to one of this year's charities.

January 20 - February 2: Creator sign-ups

February 21: Browsing begins

February 25 - March 1: Bidding on auction offerings

March 12: Winning bidders must show proof of donations

The next four years may seem daunting, but we encourage you to rise like a fiery phoenix from the ashes and make a difference as a Fandom Trumps Hate creator, bidder, or both!

Even if you can't participate yourself, please signal boost! You are also more than welcome to offer fanworks for other fandoms; this is a pan-fandom event.

Fandom Trumps Hate 2025 Calendar

We're back, folks! FTH is back for be our ninth (!) auction, and there's lots of good work to be done. (What is Fandom Trumps Hate?)

In this post you'll find the calendar for the 2025 auction, along with links to some useful information, including this year's list of supported organizations. (All of these same links can be found in our masthead, but since that's not visible on mobile we wanted to make them easy to find elsewhere.) You'll also find dates for our Crafts Bazaar. (wait, the what? Read more at our 2024 Crafts Bazaar page.)

Here is this year's list of supported organizations. We'll be posting more detailed profiles of each of them over the coming weeks. We also encourage you to look at the Auction FAQ (which has lots of useful information for people thinking about signing up as creators, as well as dedicated sections on bidding and on nonprofit orgs.) If you're raring to go, you can look at our bidding policies.

Lastly, in a couple of weeks we'll be kicking off our newly-revived offscreen activism blog @fthaction. Why not give it a follow?

FTH2025 Auction Calendar

Monday, January 20th: creator signups open for both the auction and the crafts bazaar

Sunday, February 2nd: creator signups close

Friday, February 21st: browsing period begins, crafts bazaar announcement goes live

Tuesday, February 25th, 8am ET: bidding opens

Saturday, March 1st, 8pm ET: auction bidding closes

Monday, March 10th: craft stalls close

Wednesday, March 12: proof of donations due

...and if you're thinking the gap between the end of signups and the beginning of browsing period looks long: we have also noticed this! In order to accommodate some back-end changes that will help the auction run more smoothly, we've given ourselves an extra week to get ourselves set up. We've also got some stuff in the works to occupy that time -- we'll say more about that when the time arrives.

Together, we're going to make sure that there is at least one (1) good thing in the world with the number 2025 attached to it.

Art by Star! | @starburstsobsessions

After a storm breaks out on what was supposed to be a sunny morning, Ballister makes a break for any shelter he can find. However, after being denied entrance to different shops for being soaked by the rain, the University robotics science professor finds that his only salvation is a new Café Bakery in town that opened just that day, seemingly out of nowhere by two people no one in town had ever seen. Owned by the sweetest, most anxious and handsome man Ballister had ever seen, and his feisty part-timer sister who adorned a smile as sharp as her teeth. He never expected that entering the Café that day would change his life forever. Now Ballister needs to navigate his life with a new routine thrown into his everyday as he attempts to make any and every excuse he can to visit the Golden Sparrow, dragging along with his rebellious sidekick and foster child Nimona, his partner in science and the only friend he really has, Dr. Meredith Blitzmeyer. However, as the history of the mysterious siblings begins to unravel, they all soon begin to see that perhaps there is more to the story here than only cupcakes and rainbows.

Nimona Week 2025 FAQ

What is this?

Nimona Week is a celebration of our favorite shapeshifting sidekick, in both her movie and comic incarnations. We're hoping to encourage new fanworks of all kinds. This year, Nimona Week will be both here on Tumblr and on Bluesky.

When is it?

Nimona Week will take place from Sunday, March 30 to Saturday, April 5, 2025. Those dates were chosen because March 31st is Trans Day of Visibility.

However, it's never "too late" to be inspired or post fanworks. We'll try to reblog tagged posts during actual Nimona Week, so keep that in mind if you decide to post early or late.

Are there prompts?

There will be! Please feel free to share some suggestions here by December 21st. After prompt submissions close, you'll have the opportunity to vote for your favorites. We'll share final prompts by the end of January to allow writers and artists time to create.

What can I make?

You can make or write basically anything featuring Nimona-the-character: haikus, limericks, 100 word drabbles, ficlets, long fics, traditional art, digital art, gifsets, cosplay, embroidery, etc.

What if I'm not interpreting a prompt correctly?

We are not policing people's interpretations of the prompts. If a prompt inspires you to create, that's fantastic!

What about Goldenheart/Blackloin?

This event is Nimona-centric, but @goldenheart-week will return this summer. Fanworks for Nimona Week can absolutely include Ballister and Ambrosius (or other characters!) in addition to Nimona, but we want to keep her in the spotlight.

If you are interested in organizing @goldenheart-week 2025, please reach out to @zyrafowe-sny. :)

Are there any other Nimona fandom events?

That's up to the fandom! Another @nimonabigbang, a Reverse Big Bang, or a fic exchange can only happen if there are enough people willing to moderate and/or participate; fanweeks like this one and @goldenheart-week are a little easier to organize.

To provide feedback on possible future fandom events, you're invited to fill out this anonymous survey (even if you didn't participate in the 2024 Nimona Big Bang).

Are there any other multi-fandom events coming up where Nimona fanworks would be welcome?

We strongly recommend keeping an eye out for Fandom Trumps Hate in early 2025 — it's a multi-fandom online fanworks auction that's designed to raise money for progressive non-profits. You can sign up to write fanfic, make fanart, beta read, or perform other fan labor, and people can bid on your fanwork. If they win the auction, they donate directly to the non-profit(s) and submit proof of their donation. This is not a commission or selling fanwork; the fanwork you create is a thank you gift for the donation. Bidding often starts at $5.

There are also multi-fandom Big Bangs, monthly and weekly prompt lists, bingos, etc. We will often reblog those to help signal boost.

Where can I find information about Nimona Week 2024?

Here are some links from last year:

What about...?

Feel free to send an ask if you have additional questions. We will also be updating the FAQ as needed.

One week left to submit prompts!
