Hey, did you know that you can't mention DONATIONS on AO3? More details and further reminders in our tumblr post on avoiding "commercial" language. Don't sleep on this one, the life you save could be your own!
Agree with Ellery, it's not allowed to link to any sort of tip jar from AO3. We highly suggest that you read the FAQ on commercial promotion: archiveofourown.org/tos_faq#comm...

Hello! Our email has been slow mode as the mods take a breather. We'll start pinging non-responsive bidders after April 15th.
No foolin', today is the deadline for creators to get in contact with their bidders. The deadline for bidders to get back to creators is April 15th. (Obviously sooner would be better, but mods won't step in before that.)
We are so thrilled to have been able to support this vital cause!
YES THAT'S RIGHT you all helped us raise over $110,000 dollars this year, bringing our 10 year total to OVER HALF A MILLION BUCKS!!
It's here! The moment you've been waiting for! DRUM ROLL PLEASE

High bid donations are due TODAY, March 18th. We are still waiting on a few foot-draggers (yes, that's what we are calling you on our Discord if you haven't donated yet)
If you've still got donations to make, take a look at some stats.
Votebeat, Fight for the Future, Greenlight America, Open Secrets and In Our Own Voice are each under 3% of total donations.
Gaza Soup Kitchen, National Immigrant Justice Coalition, and Advocated for Trans Equality account for 55%.
Creators with multiple bids, and really all creators and all bidders all the time: CONSTANT VIGILANCE! ...in your email, at least. Keep an eye out for these messages ⬇️
(btw it's the time of the auction season where your mods get a little loopy)
Sorry for any delay, we do our best but there can be a queue of messages to get through!
Got outbid on your faves? Didn't spend your whole donation budget? Sad that you missed out on the auction? Cheer up, you can still donate in honor of the Regiment of Fan Laborers! This year we're bringing back a few awesome orgs from years past who would gladly take that extra cash off your hands...
We still have a couple of bidder email addresses that are bouncing - if you or anyone you know has not gotten your high bid email, please let us know IMMEDIATELY or these auctions will be awarded to the second bidder this evening!
All high bidder notification emails have been sent! If you believe you were the high bidder on an auction and you have not received an email from us with donation instructions, check your spam folder and then email us at our gmail address (fandomtrumpshate).
🔔🔔🔔 BIDDING IS CLOSED! 🔔🔔🔔
BIDDERS: Don't make any donations until we notify you of your win
CREATORS: Don't contact your winning bidder yet, we need to process stuff on our side first!
THE CRAFT BAZAAR is still open!
