Fandom links 'n' things

[sholio]

equalityauction is currently taking creator signups. This is a fandom charity event in the style of Fandom Trumps Hate, etc, to raise money because Black Lives Matter. See rules here, including a non-inclusive list of nonprofits where winning bids may be donated.

goss is inviting BIPOC fans (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) to take this one-click poll:
I'm curious about how many of us are out here still, whether actively posting on DW or simply lurking. Maybe you are wondering too! So I am putting up this poll, in the hopes of reaching out to and connecting with as many BIPOC fans here on DW as possible.

fandomgiftbox, a summer event styled after the apparently-no-longer-with-us Fandom Stocking, is taking signups for gift boxes until June 21. Signup post here.

recthething is a new comm for reccing fanworks! All media, fandoms, ships, and kinks are welcome. You can post recs in the comm or link to recs elsewhere, including older rec posts.

wingficex (Wingfic Exchange) is a short-duration exchange - longer than a typical flash exchange, shorter than a traditional exchange - currently taking tag nominations.

auexchange (AU Exchange) officially opens for nominations on the 19th, but rumor has it that you might be able to slip some tags in early. Tag formatting is fairly specific in this exchange, so here is the rules post to read before nominating.

Already mentioned earlier, but H/C Bingo is open for signups in case you want a card!

Hold me, sholio - I signed up to do watercolor fanart at equalityauction. *wibble*

(I set the minimum bid high because, goddammit, if I have to sit there watching paint dry I'd rather it be for a substantive bid. Here's hoping someone bids on me?!)

ETA: Gosh, there are...not a lot of fanartists?? Huh.

[goss]

there are...not a lot of fanartists

Hey, since you've already signed up for the auction, would you be interested in making a post at drawesome about it? Maybe it might encourage some fanartists to participate?

ETA: And judging by your awesome Uhura and Fury, I have no doubt that your recipient will be absolutely delighted by your watercolour fanart. <3

can do! promise i will use actual capitals & fix typos over there - i have some rsi stuff going on, so shift key slows me down

and thank you!

[sholio]

Yay!! :D And yeah, I second goss that the art you've been posting is beautiful; I think you will make some lucky bidder very happy. <3

I'm still dithering over whether I can commit to signing up. Still a couple of days to decide ...

[sheron]

I just took a look and your art of Fury and Uhura is fantastic, I'm sure people will bid :)

[cornerofmadness]

thanks for these

[sholio]

Sure!

[goss]

Thank you for the signal boost. ^___^

[sholio]

Anytime! :)

Oooooh I see! I thought BIPOC stood for bisexual people of color. Whoops! Now I know.

Oh crud, I think I've got at least one new exchange on my calendar... XD

[sholio]

I didn't know what it stood for until like ... a day ago. XD So definitely not just you! (I thought it meant Black and Indigenous only. I think it's possible it might have at one point and the meaning evolved.)

Anyway - roping hapless passersby into I mean, sharing exchanges gives me joy. :D

I'm also about to sign up for equalityauction, as a beta (or editor for nonfiction, if people want that), so thank you so much because it makes me feel better about not being able to be part of any exchanges recently, and it's also good to try and do more to help.
