FTH 2023 Wrap-Up
Boy has it been a year, guys.
This seemed like the year when anything that could go wrong did, from covid to family emergencies to work obligations to software bugs. We're so grateful to you all for your patience and for coming back year after year to remind us why we do this.
Historically, non-election years have usually seen slumps in both our number of auctions and our donation totals. But this year? You guys blew us away yet again.
We had just as many auctions as last year, which is amazing. But even beyond that: our donation total —just 10% lower than last year's massive record— is 150% higher than our third best year, making it a very close second.
So are you ready for this year's grand total?
This year
thanks to all of you
FTH raised...
$47,361.75!
Which brings our seven-year total to
$239,507.86
Thank you so much to our 616 creators who offered 800+ auctions in over 400 different fandoms and subfandoms, and to everyone who bid! Also a special shoutout to our record 17 crafters who raised over $2500 of this - three times as much as any of our previous craft bazaars!
Your returning mods (@porcupine-girl, @captainbunnicula, @tiltedsyllogism, @anyawen, and @renjunbabygirl) would also like to give our heartfelt thanks to this year's two additions to the mod team, @trickybonmot (who has been a mod before but was returning after several-year absence) and @a-still-small-vox (who is brand new to this whole thing). Given everything that went down this year, the auction literally could not have happened without them. They've been ridiculously awesome.
Creators, be sure you contact your bidders by April 1, and bidders, on your end please respond to their communication by April 15!
Once the fanwork is posted, let us know via our form (can you believe six creators have already finished??) and if you're posting it on AO3 be sure to add it to the Fandom Trumps Hate 2023 collection. If you're writing a fic for FTH and need help from our Regiment of Fan Laborers, email us!
As always, we hope that for at least some people, your involvement in FTH will lead to continued action throughout the year. Sign up for our organizations' email lists, check out their volunteer opportunities, and help boost their signals on social media!
And if you'd like to run your own fanworks auction for a good cause, we can help get you started! Contact us at fandomtrumpshate at gmail.com and we can send you our auction playbook, as well as answer any questions you have about our process.
Your mods are going to be going into post-auction hibernation mode (or, for most of us, post-auction deal-with-all-this-other-stuff mode) for a little while. So if you email us, don't panic if we don't get back to you immediately! We will start actively monitoring the inbox again by April 15 at the latest.
Here is a quick snapshot of the donations to individual organizations - see below the cut for all of the totals!
We hope to see you all again next year!

🌾🌾 🌾 🌾 🌾 🌾 🌾 🌾
The first rays of sun illuminated the room.
Papyrus blinked and stretched. He looked outside the window, while sitting on his bed.
He watched in awe as the sun rose slowly, illuminating the small town.
He always loved the sunrise, sunset. Well, almost everything!
It was a pleasant morning.
He didn't have many jobs to do, most were done. He was planning to return tomorrow morning to the farm.
He got up, got dressed, ate breakfast and exited the apartment ; ready for the day.
He breathed some fresh air. Yeah, the day should be ready for the Great farmer Papyrus.
In the afternoon, he visited Ophelia. He was holding the herbs and vegetables for her and her clinic.
It was quiet so they began chatting about their days.
(At around 18.15 pm)
A nurse rushed into her office
"Emergency! Dr. Ophelia we need you! Two monsters arrived one of them needs medical attention immediately!"
Ophelia waved at him and ran "See ya later Harvey! (Papyrus's nickname) ".
He waved back. He prayed that whoever was here, would get well soon.
She entered the room, her heart clenched. She couldn't recognize their face.
Their bones were covered in rash, blisters, cracks, blood. Their left ulna and radius were cracked. The way it looked, indicated fall.
Their neck, face and sternum were covered in a mass of huge blisters. Their skull had swollen, making them unrecognizable.
She couldn't see their eye sockets, nose or mouth. They were that bad.
In all her years, she had to face quite shocking emergencies; this was no exception.
Their breathing was ragged almost inaudible.
She noticed some twitching in their fingers. Blood and magic oozed, soaking the sheets under their body.
They were laying naked on the surgical table. Save for a fabric over their pelvis (that was soaked in blood, fluids and magic too).
Ophelia run to their side and threw a quick glance "prepare anesthesia".
"Their stats are quite low, like really low, I'm afraid to use complete anesthesia" Lilian mentioned while putting on his gloves.
"Then we are going to lower the potency. We will add local anesthesia." Ophelia informed as she put on her gloves and the nurses finished dressing her.
They nodded and got ready.
"Agatha, you and I will start with the face and neck okay? Lilian, Hermione you take care of the ribs, do the best you can. The rest stay close for assistance".
They nodded.
Few stood on the left side and the others on the right side.
They prepared all the necessary tools and began action.
They added some medicine in the IV.
Each doctor and nurse took a hold of a special injection. They lined up.
When they found a spot that was visible they injected the anesthesia.
They therefore used a special antiseptic gel to pat the blisters in all of the patient's body.
Some seconds passed and the blisters broke / popped; fluid, blood and magic oozed.
She checked their stats. The stats were falling. "Nurse?! The HP! Inject the light green medicine in the IV!" the nurse nodded and did what she was told.
The HP stopped going down. It went a little up.
Ophelia looked at Agatha, "Agatha, clean the face, do what you can. I'll check the neck". Agatha nodded.
Ophelia moved on to the neck. She began inspecting and cleaning.
As she was cleaning she noticed a spot that looked quite different. She frowned and leaned closer to inspect.
She gently touched it. She pushed and removed fluids and a stinger.
She put it in a special case to look at it later. They checked their soul beat. Steady. The doctors added more medicines in the IV.
As she was cleaning, she looked at Lilian and Hermione that were cleaning the sternum.
The rest of nurses took care of the hands, legs and offered assistance when needed; just as they were told.
She noticed that the patient was leaking a lot. No matter how much the doctors were cleaning them; the fluids, clotted magic and blood kept coming.
Ophelia was checking their statistics many times.
Ophelia looked at a nurse "Daniella, please keep injecting a small dose of the light green medicine. It will keep their statistics steady". Daniella nodded.
Daniella kept doing that when Ophelia ordered her.
Ophelia and Agatha switched works. Ophelia began cleaning the face and Agatha the neck.
Hermione and Lilian the ribs, some nurses the hips.
She repeated the procedure; they used an antibacterial gel and gently patted it on the patient's body to prevent infection.
As they were working; the patient's body arched upwards.
Ophelia and the rest stopped what they were doing; anesthesia was wearing off.
The poor soul; let out ragged, choked breaths and gurgling sounds.
Their soul beat got higher. Their choked anguished groaning of discomfort broke the doctors's heart.
Ophelia with a gloved hand, caressed their collarbone and spoke as softly as she could.
"Hey, it's okay! I know! The difficult part is almost over! It's okay, ssshh" She motioned to Daniella and pointed to the IV.
Daniella nodded and injected sedatives and painkillers in the IV.
"You are a pretty strong skeleton!Now I want you to relax! We are here to help you, don't worry! You are in good hands" Ophelia's voice was soft, comforting.
Their movements calmed down and went slack. Their soul beat had calmed down.
"Pretty good! I'll just clean your face now yes?" there was no reply.
Their chest rose and fall softly. They twitched their fingers.
"Was someone else with them?" she asked as she continued cleaning.
Hermione replied "Yes, another skeleton. They teleported here with him on their arms. They begged desperately that we will help him. We assured them that we will do what we can. They are waiting outside".
She nodded, too focused on her work.
It took hours (around 4) to clean their body.
Eventually they could see,
who they,
Who he was.
Ophelia's eyes widen..
Her hands trembled...
End of part 1!
I'm excited yet nervous for this fic!...
Who do you think is the patient? We'll have to wait and see in next chapter ;)
