The Middle Distance

Fandom Trumps Hate 2018 is getting ready to rumble!

We're going to have new features and some refinements to our process and our charities list. Our About Us is here.

Last year, we raised over $32,000 for the nonprofit activist groups on our list. We're still a small crew of volunteers, and we're looking for more volunteers to help - it is a hefty, hefty job, we processed over 700 individual auctions last year.

Also, I will be offering fic again this year!

Now, I need to dig in finishing last year's fics, and also the THREE NEW STORIES I am writing for my bidders in fandomlovespuertorico. (Congrats to fangirlsays, fivepips, and okapi!)

Basically Kink Bingo by any other name - the goal is to achieve bingo by creating at least five kinky fanworks.

This is my card. Get your own!




Deadline is September 30 to win a snappy banner.

I'm always open to suggestions, for any kink you'd like to see me try with any pairing. I am NOT promising I'll do it, but if it grabs me, I might. I'm totally up for Sherlock, anything Tolkien, and Good Omens, plus a few other random fandoms I've written in the past and will again if a good idea hits me.

I was really unreasonably gutted that there won't be a regular Porn Battle this year - I hadn't realized how much I rely on it to snap me out of the January doldrums and inspire me to try new things.

BUT! All is not lost! The Porn Battle Amnesty group at Dreamwidth (pbam) is running an Amnesty Challenge from February 15 through the 25th, and the prompts that are up for grabs are . . . every single prompt on the books from the last 15 editions of Porn Battle! That is potentially a lot of porn. So I'm in and I want to spread the...word.

Porn Battle Golden Oldies!


Last year, I wrote 5 Porn Battle stories, in 4 different fandoms. (Well . . . are The Hobbit and The Silmarillion really two completely different fandoms? Especially since the characters I wrote about in the TH ficlet also appear in the Silm? Yes and no). I'm going to try to beat that this year. A greater number of stories and of fandoms, that's my goal. Also to get some femslash in this year. Last year my tally was 1 f/m, 2 m/m, and 2 m/f/m threesomes.

This will be especially challenging because February is a hectic month with travel to a con at the end of it, AND...

I also plan on doing come_at_once for the first time.

Obviously I'm going to have to cheat by starting now.

Cheer me on! I accept all manner of virtual stimulants and encouragements.
