Wait, what is this auction? It’s a fundraiser for several excellent charities and social justice groups, organized in response to the election of a certain cheeto. You can find the auction’s tumblr here, and the various auction offerings here.
1) You get to commission a fanwork (art, fic, podfic, video) to your more-or-less exact tastes and desires, and/or recruit one of your talented fellow-fans to furnish you with the help you need (beta-ing, translation, &c.) to make your own fanwork as awesome as it can be.
2) Every single cent of your donation will go directly to one (or more) of the charities/organizations on our list. There are a lot of groups listed, covering a lot of issues (LGBTQIA, environment, civil liberties, minority rights) and they are all excellent organizations that are badly in need of our support. Here’s the list.
3) You can take part in showing how powerful fandom is, when we work together. We are running almost 700 auctions. That means that we have the potential to raise, in technical terms, a whopping shit-ton of money. But in addition to all the fabulous creators who are volunteering their time and talent, we also need bidders.
tl;dr: you can get the fanwork(s) you have always craved, and help show the world how amazing fandom can be, all for the low, low price of doing something that is valuable and important anyway.

Please reblog from this post! A term that folks may have filtered for is not included, so they won’t get to share in the wonderfulness otherwise!
