a-big-apple’s offerings:

a-big-apple Auction #1

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

Type of fanwork: Fan Labor
Subtype(s): Specialist expertise, Sensitivity reading
Fandom(s): Any
Highest rating: E (Explicit)
Length/scope: 10 - 20k words

Areas of expertise: I can provide specialist expertise about bookselling (particularly at independent bookstores), academic libraries and administration (particularly small colleges), and some insight into other book industry areas like publishing and writing (particularly children's literature)! I can provide sensitivity reading about fat characters, aromantic and/or asexual characters, and characters with ADHD (particularly adult women).

Experience: I was a children's bookseller for 10 years, and have worked in the library at a small liberal arts college for 7 years. I have an MA in children's literature, and have worked in a number of other book industry jobs and with other book industry people. I'm fat, aroace, and have ADHD. Please note that I'm coming at all of these things from the experience of a white cis USAmerican woman, which limits the intersectionality I can bring to this advice.

Other notes about labor offered: I had a great time last year helping someone with their bookstore AU fic, and would be delighted to help bring realism to another work this year!

Especially interested in:

Unwilling to address: I've had a hard few months and would prefer not to advise on anything that is very dark or violent, but some sad content is okay with me.

Notes: Feel free to get in touch with questions!

Minimum Bid: $5

Auctions run from 8:00AM EST, 1 March 2023, to 8:00PM EST, 5 March 2023. Bids before or after this period are invalid and will not be counted. If you would like to bid on this auction:

a-big-apple 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): Steven Universe, Locked Tomb Trilogy
Highest rating: E (Explicit)
Length/scope: Less than 5k words

Especially interested in: For The Locked Tomb: I'm especially interested in Griddlehark or Gideon and/or Harrow on their own, Cam and Pal (platonically), pretty much anything going on on the Ninth House or Sixth House, and ensemble stories with lots of people making appearances. I'd be delighted to write canon missing scene fic from any of the books, canon divergence "what if this one thing was different" fic, or AU fic (including Harrow's three AU settings). For Steven Universe: I like to write canon fic about Pearl, Bismuth, Volleyball, and any combination thereof. And I like writing ensemble fics! I'd also be happy to consider AUs.

Unwilling to address: I've had a hard few months and would prefer not to write anything too dark in either fandom, though some sadness or melancholy is ok and very much within my wheelhouse. For The Locked Tomb: I'm not that interested in writing about John or the OG lyctors. They're incredible characters, just not my cup of tea for ficcing. For Steven Universe: I would prefer not to write about Rose.

Notes: I will happily write something totally new in either of these fandoms, but if you'd like to see a followup to a fic I've already written, that would be awesome too! Feel free to get in touch with questions.

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

Minimum Bid: $5
