All auction emails have been sent!

(But edits are ongoing)

If you signed up to offer an auction in FTH 2026, you should have email from us - be sure to look for both our gmail.com and proton.me addresses, and add the latter to your allow list.

If you do not have either a) an email with a link to your auction or b) an email explaining that there is a problem that needs to be fixed before we can post your auction, please do email us at this point.

If you have submitted edits via the edit form:

We are a bit behind on these and likely will not have them completely done tonight. If your edit has not gone through by the time we post that browsing is open, and at that time it has been at least 8 hours since you submitted the edit, please email us.

Browsing is not open yet!

Browsing will open at 8pm EST tomorrow, February 27.

Before then, the offerings blog is NOT to be considered ready for public consumption. We have plenty of work ahead of us, please do not send bidders to browse the auctions until it's officially open.

Thanks for your patience as we get all the finishing touches put on this year's auction!

How to play: Find the word in any WIP and comment with the sentence containing it. Just the one, ideally! The less context, the more hilarious & interesting it can be.

Rules:
- All fandoms, all ships, all writers welcome
- Give a head's up for disturbing/distressing content
- If you share a sentence, please read some left by other writers and drop at least one person a comment. (If you leave the first comment, thanks for starting us off and please stop back later!)

Keep an eye on your inbox!

We have started posting auctions, which means that we have started sending emails with your auction link and the link to submit edits!

Please keep in mind:

These WILL be coming from our new proton.me email address, so be sure to tell your email client not to send it to spam!
We will be sending these emails throughout the week. If your friend got theirs and you haven't gotten yours, please be patient. We can only post a few hundred of the 1600 auctions per day.
Your auctions may not all be posted on the same day. You'll get one email for each auction post - some email clients may put these in one thread together, so keep an eye out for that.
You will not be notified when edits are made, you will have to check your post. If you still do not see your edits by Thursday evening, and it's been at least 8 hours since you filled out the form, email us to check.

Please remember that just because your post is up for your viewing, does NOT mean that browsing is open in general! Please don't send bidders to check things out until Friday, Feb 27!

mod announcement

New FTH Email Address!

Like many people these days, FTH is trying to detangle ourselves from Google. This won't be quick or easy for several reasons, but this year we've taken one step you'll need to be aware of as a creator or bidder: We've got a Proton email address that we'll be using for some FTH business.

We can't use it for everything, because a lot of our automation will currently only work with gmail. But be sure to add fandomtrumpshate AT proton.me to your email client's allowlist, and look for FTH emails coming from this address as well as our usual gmail!

Hey Sweetheart 2026

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in Hey, Sweetheart. This was our biggest year to-date, breaking record totals on both AO3 and on discord, where 80 people earned the legacy strawberry icon illustrated by yours truly.

🍓 The AO3 collection

🍓 The tumblr tag

🍓 The bluesky hashtag

In addition, we brought back the original Kirk/Spock version, the ship that launched the original event back in 2014, and received a delightful TOS fill. (The Trek version is still open, so if you are a K/S writer and you'd like to join in the fun, have at it. That series' next event isn't announced yet.)

What's coming up:

Next up is the discord-based, 6-in-1 be kind, rewind! which brings back six past ficwip events, all running simultaneously! We're going to be a little busy from now through the end of May. It's a complex event with seven rule sets (overall + specifics for the six -- I know), so running it in public would potentially be a headache.

And in April, Hyuge is hosting hanahaki4hanami, which has a hub on our server where you can earn this year's flower icon.
