Hello hello! It's this time of the year again... Do you want more Alex Rider fanworks? Do you want to support good causes? Then wouldn't it be cool to get both by getting involved in the @fandomtrumpshate auction?
If there is a fic you wish you could ask someone else to write, this is your chance to do so and raise money for progressive causes along the way. Fan labor is also welcome if you're more of a Brit-picker than a fic writer, and it is also possible to offer fanart!
Last year I had a choice between several prompts, all interesting and I really like the fic I wrote. It was a good experience overall and I might do it again with the lowest word count requirements for the Alex Rider fandom ;)
