countingnothings Auction #1

Organizations this auction benefits: Bidder's choice of any of the listed groups (See full list.)

Type of fanwork: Written
Subtype(s): Fanfic
Fandom(s): Voltron, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, Locked Tomb Trilogy
Highest rating: E (Explicit)
Length/scope: The minimum bid ($5) will get you up to 3k; every $5 above that will add 1k words

Especially interested in: I love writing character-centric work that explores relationship dynamics (platonic, romantic, and otherwise) in canon or canon-adjacent settings! Within these fandoms, I'm also very happy to write work that explores elements of canon worldbuilding that are maybe under-explored in canon itself, and work that fixes problems in canon (especially if those problems are of the "this was pretty bad writing" variety).

Unwilling to address: I'm not very comfortable with a/b/o, pregnancy of any kind, or extreme violence (for its own sake or as a kink). Sexual violence especially is an absolute no (rape, non-con, extreme underage), but if you're not sure whether what you have in mind is too non-con, do reach out - I'm comfortable writing certain kinds of dub-con!

Notes: I'm a pretty structured writer, so I'm happy to share outlines and brainstorming notes along the way!

Special Interests: F/f ships, Canonically trans or nonbinary characters, Trans or nonbinary interpretations of canon characters, Ambiguous endings

Minimum Bid: $5

I am also comfortable working on creating a consistent style (i.e., historical, imitating a certain author, etc)

I specialize in queer history, British and American history, the history and effects of colonialism, and historical literature.
Sensitivity Reading: I am happy to offer feedback on the portrayal of ace characters, including ace or ace spectrum characters who enter romantic or sexual relationships. I am also happy to look for if an ADHD character's thoughts seem realistic, how medication might impact them, what they might do instead of medication, and what the diagnosis process is like.

nerdsandthelike Auction #2

Organizations this auction benefits: Bidder's choice of any of the listed groups (See full list.)

Type of fanwork: Written
Subtype(s): Fanfic
Fandom(s): Benoit Blanc Mysteries (Knives Out, Glass Onion), Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, The Old Guard
Highest rating: M (Mature)
Length/scope: Less than 5k words

Especially interested in: character studies; historical fics; future fic/post-canon; AUs, especially strange and unusual AUs; any kind of healthy, loving relationship; found family
For Glass Onion/Knives Out: Blanc's past, including past cases and Blanc/Phillip, Blanc & Marta and/or Blanc & Helen, future fic about Marta or Helen, ridiculous AUs or crossovers (including involving muppets, the film Clue, and the Scooby Doo Gang)
For Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries: Jack/Phryne, Phryne & Mac, Phryne & Dot, Dot/Hugh, Cec/Bert, poly Phryne who is still super in love with Jack, case fic, fluff, humor, slice of life, modern AUs, bi4bi Phryne/Jack, trans woman Phryne, earlier adventures in Phyrne's life
For The Old Guard: Joe/Nicky, Andy/Quynh, Nile and Joe friendship, ridiculous AUs, trans characters in those AUs, the team and gender/sexuality in history

Unwilling to address: RPF, incest, Mpreg, A/B/O, teacher/student, significant age gaps, noncon or dubcon, dark versions of any character, explicit sex (fade to black, references to sex, including specific sex acts, and discussion of sex is all fine), self harm/suicide, cheating
For Glass Onion/Knives Out: Marta/Ransom, Helen/Miles, basically anything where Ransom or Miles in particular are portrayed as sympathetic or redeemable, Blanc/any canon character other than his partner. I'm happy to do Blanc/OC pre-canon, but none of the existing characters.
For Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries: I haven't read the books, so I can't do anything that depends on characters or dynamics that are just in the books. I don't want to deal with Murdoch Foyle. Any non-canon pairing involving Jack, Dot, or Hugh.
For The Old Guard: any pairing involving Nile/another immortal, any pairing involving Nicky or Joe other than Nicky/Joe, "someone else in the iron coffin" AUs

Notes: I can never guarantee how long my stories will be, but this year I'm feeling something a little bit shorter. I don't tend to write under 1.5k these days, but I don't want to promise anything!
For trans interpretation of canon characters, I prefer to write canonical cis women as trans women or nonbinary people rather than trans men, and same with canonical cis men as trans men or enbies rather than trans women. However, I am willing to talk if you have a specific request.
I will write disruptor-centric fics for Glass Onion and Booker-centric fics for The Old Guard, so I'm not putting it above. However, I will admit that those aren't my favorite things, so if that's what you really want, I might not be the best author for you.
But generally please feel free to reach out and ask if what you're thinking about is something I can do! I really like talking about fics and making sure that you're getting what you want!

Special Interests: Canonically trans or nonbinary characters, Trans or nonbinary interpretations of canon characters, Ambiguous endings

Roccolinde/Fire_Sign Auction #1

Organizations this auction benefits: Bidder's choice of any of the listed groups (See full list.)

Type of fanwork: Written
Subtype(s): Fanfic
Fandom(s): A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, Wheel of Time
Highest rating: E (Explicit)
Length/scope: Less than 5k words

Especially interested in: Power/Battle couple dynamics and competence kink, exes/second chances/second loves, prickly characters being vulnerable, female characters finding common ground, snark and banter, character-driven stories/smut, hurt/comfort, narrative gender fuckery of all types, shifting power dynamics where they are both aware. Tenderness, vulnerability, and the mortifying idea of being known. I adore complicated and nuanced takes on the character's relationship with gender and identity, and lines getting blurred there.

I love writing so many classic fic tropes and kinks, so if there's something you're interested in feel free to ask! Big fan of writing angsty or bittersweet fics and ambiguous or unhappy endings, but not interested in unrelenting misery.

I have offered fics up to 5K. There is a perfectly good chance I'll go over, but some stories just want to be told in a brief way and I don't want to pad just for the sake of words.

Unwilling to address: Scat/watersports, ageplay including usage of daddy/mommy/girl, underage/high school AUs or college AUs where focus is on the college element, casual misogyny or sexual violence (narratively relevant is fine), dubious/non-consensual sex that is not treated as such, revenge porn (literal revenge porn or the "Punish character X" type), power dynamics where there’s a potential abuse of power, humiliation.

Prefer to avoid Brienne with major body image issues, ESPECIALLY when phrased about feeling like a “real woman”--insecurities, yes, but not as the driving narrative force. Not interested in Cersei-bashing fics--she's awful, I'm happy to make her awful, but I don't want to make her one dimensional.

Notes: GoT: Jaime/Brienne, other pairings with discussion. While happy to incorporate elements of the book canon, this story would be primarily driven by show canon dynamics/characterisation. Happy to write in a canon or AU setting

MFMM: TV/film canon. Any pairing, canon or fanon. I primarily write Phrack, but as my ao3 will tell you there's very little I've not dipped my toe into. If you are interested in Dot/Hugh fluff, I'll do it but it's not a strength. I strongly prefer canon set stories for this fandom.

WoT: Anything centred around Lan, Nynaeve, and/or Moiraine, platonic or romantic or pre-romantic. I have read the books many times, but this offer is for TV canon only due to other commitments. If, however, you want something like a missing scene from the first few books, that can be discussed during the bidding process. I strongly prefer canon set stories for this fandom Any questions or requests deviating from the above, please don't be afraid to ask. I promise I'm very friendly.

Special Interests: F/f ships, Poly ships, Trans or nonbinary interpretations of canon characters, Unhappy endings, Ambiguous endings
