Fandom Trumps Hate

fandomtrumpshate for the second year in a row! Last year I offered the minimum word count for three fandoms I'd been comfortable in in the past, kept very very quiet about it on my social media, and was "bought" for the minimum bid out of what was probably a combination of curiosity and pity. Nevertheless, I managed to write something I was pretty proud of for a fandom I'd had fun working with in the past.
This year I'm trying to be a bit more ambitious-- and, unlike last year, I'm comfortable enough in my current fandom (or rather subset of a fandom) to actually put it on the list, and to advertise that I'm writing for it. I also made myself a little more expensive, which I hope wasn't a mistake-- I was trying to strike a balance between giving people options and not locking myself into too large of a commitment. (I said a bit more ambitious.) So I'll post a reminder once my creator contribution has actually been made public, but if you should happen to want up to 10K words of Legolas/Gimli, gen Harry Potter, or canon-pairing Avatar: the Last Airbender fic... that will be an option!
And if you're American, look into the auction-- it's for a whole series of good causes! (Not least defiance.)
