“Higher, faster, further, baby.”

As we said in our closing message at the end of this year’s auction, that was our mantra coming into MTH 2019, and we certainly carried it off with your help.

Last year, we had 236 creators and 354 auctions… This year, we zipped past that with a tremendous turnout that went beyond our expectations: 324 “Marvel”-ous creators came forward to offer 522 auctions.

Last year, we raised $19,262.52, a mindblowing number we’re still trying to wrap our heads around… This year, we’re excited to announce that together, we raised:

That’s about $8,000 more than the MTH 2018 total 😮💖🎉

We’re going to channel Luke Cage here and exclaim, “SWEET CHRISTMAS!”

Considering just how successful MTH was in its inaugural year, we were unsure whether we could get close to those numbers again, let alone top them. Suffice to say, we were blown away at every single step, from creator registration all the way to donation processing.

We told ourselves we would be happy with any amount, especially if we miraculously matched our total last year, so we were shocked speechless when we hit it days before the auction ended. Then the total kept growing, with no sign of stopping or slowing down, as the donations kept pouring in. Surely it would stop at 20k? 22k?! A few of us, emboldened by the “higher, faster, further” theme this year, dared to wish for the impossible: 25k. We all knocked on wood and referred to this figure in vague terms (“the number we won’t mention,” “the number that must not be named,” etc.).

It was a remarkable experience, and we often found ourselves at a loss for words (we had to resort to heart emojis, keyboard bashing, and exclamation points many a time in our mod chat). We’ve been impatient to share the results with you, not just because of how incredible the final count is but because of how we got there. Each and every one of you was instrumental to our success, and we appreciate your contributions so very much.

Creators, we couldn’t have started this auction without you all. We loved seeing so many of last year’s creators sign up again and were pleasantly surprised by how many new faces showed up to the party.

Bidders, as crazy as it sounds, most of the donations were small ones. It just goes to show how much of an impact you can have when you’re part of something bigger than yourself. Each donation has a ripple effect, and with enough ripples, that can cause a wave. You matter, and you can make a difference.

We also owe our success to our wonderful signal boosters. There can’t be an auction without any participants, and thanks to everyone spreading our posts around and encouraging their fandom friends to sign up and/or bid, we reached hundreds of incredible creators and bidders.

Thank you all. We’re so touched by the massive number of people who donated above and beyond their pledged amount, creators who took on multiple auctions and offered up multiple winner slots, and bidders who accepted their second-place wins with such eagerness! We also had people make donations in the spirit of MTH even though they didn’t win an auction, which was beyond generous.

We’ve already seen how our donations are changing the world for the better. To name a few examples:

Not to mention that our good deeds haven’t gone unnoticed thanks to bidders who gave us a shoutout this year. The president of RAINN knows about MTH and gave one of our winners a personal thank you for participating and helping raise money for their organization, and BBRF somehow found out about us and emailed us personally as well.

We’re sure that in the months and years to come, we’ll see even more wonderful results.

In addition to the astounding amount of money we were able to raise for charity, MTH was successful in other ways. We strove to be as inclusive as possible, determined to make this event a fandom-wide effort. Considering that the auctions covered over 400 platonic and romantic relationships (if we include “all ships/gen”-inclusive relationships, this number is even higher) across 29 universes within the Marvel multiverse, up from 242 and 19, respectively), we can safely say that we accomplished our goal.

This spirit of inclusion also applies to our charities. Every one of our 30 supported charities received donations. We’re in awe of your commitment to supporting all our creators and charities and thrilled that you spread all the love around, bidders!

Here’s our breakdown of the donations (click to enlarge the image):

We’ve also listed the amount raised per charity on our List of Organizations page.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for helping us turn our second Marvel Trumps Hate auction into such an incredible experience. We cherish every single message of love and support that we received and continue to receive on our Discord server and through DMs, Tumblr messages, emails, tweets, etc. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

If you’d like to keep up-to-date with all of the 2019 Marvel Trumps Hate fills, follow us and/or check out the “mth 2019” tag on our Tumblr. You’ll also be able to find works posted on AO3 in our Marvel Trumps Hate 2019 collection and links to fills in our Discord server, which you can join to brainstorm prompts, chat about fills, and find out about other fandom events.

Thank you once again to everyone who volunteered their services, time, money, and platforms to spread the word.

We can’t wait to see all of your fanworks over the coming year!

Lots of love and gratitude, Your 2019 MTH mods

HP Kinkfest 2019: Prompting NOW OPEN

Prompting is now open for Round 10 of HP Kinkfest. The fest is now in its tenth year which means it has been providing Harry Potter fandom with fabulous kinky goodness for a decade. We’re excited to be back for this milestone round and hope you will join in the fun to help us celebrate.

  • You can leave prompts directly on the prompting posts on Dreamwidth (hpkinkfest) or LiveJournal (hp-kinkfest) or you can prompt by filling out the Google Form HERE. You do not need a Google account to complete the form.
  • This fest is multi-ship and any solo character or combination of characters from the Harry Potter book series, Cursed Child or Fantastic Beasts are welcome. 
  • Any and all kinks are permitted for this fest. 
  • Please be creative, have fun and enjoy the fest and if you see prompts you don’t like, just scroll on and find ones you do. Your kink isn’t my kink and so on. 
  • If you have an idea already we advise that you don’t leave it as a prompt otherwise it will be opened up to general claiming. Simply keep an eye on this blog on 9 January for details on how to sign up if you’re writing your own prompt and in the meantime you can leave prompts for other creators if you wish.
  • Prompting places you under no obligation to participate and you do not need to have left prompts in order to claim.
  • The prompting template works as follows:
Kink: name the one primary kink you want showcased, e.g. orgasm denial or spanking or pony play etc. One to three pairings (or ‘any’): you can list up to three possible pairings (or solo characters or threesomes/moresomes). If you’re flexible you can leave pairings open for the claimant to choose or make a broad suggestion like ‘any femslash’ or ‘any next gen slash’ or ‘Harry Potter/any Trio Gen or older male character’ etc. Optional Prompt/Extras: this is the place for more detailed information about the kink you want to showcase. e.g. for the kink ‘size kink’ you might put ‘I’d love it if Harry is the one with the size kink’ or for the kink ‘bondage’ you might suggest options such as ‘old school ties’ Submitted By: leave your username here if you wish or keep it blank if you would prefer to prompt anonymously

The list of prompts can be found HERE with a couple of early examples. The prompt list will be updated at least once every 24 hours during the prompting period.

  • Prompting closes at Midnight EST / 5am GMT on 8 January.
  • Claiming opens at Midday EST / 5pm GMT on 9 January
  • Posting begins on 24 February and will last for a three week period
  • Posting is not anonymous and you are responsible for uploading your works to the AO3 collection on your assigned posting date which will be provided to you when you sign up. 
  • Detailed Rules and FAQs can be found HERE
  • Please ensure you have familiarised yourself with the fest rules and the fest ethos if you wish to take part, as the posting rules have changed a little since last year, primarily for ease of running the fest and also to account for the changes in Tumblr policy in 2018. 

Your Kinkfest mods are @writcraft and kitty fic (@kittylovesmerthur) but if you have specific questions about the fest it is generally easiest for admin purposes if you contact us through the ask function on the @hpkinkfest tumblr or via email at hpkinkfest AT gmail.com

Happy Kinking!
