Writing For Great Justice
I have been feeling despondent about the news, as indeed who has not, and then I had a brainstorm of a way I could raise some money for the ACLU: writing ficlets.
So! If anyone is interested. Make a $10+ donation to the ACLU and message me your receipt with two or three prompts, and I will write you a 500-1000 word ficlet. (If I get inspired it may get longer, but don’t count on it.)
…Also I realize that I have described all of these fandoms in terms of their anti-fascist bona fides, but you don’t have to request something fascist-fighting themes, like seriously, ask for Steve and Bucky cuddling or Kit Kittredge and Ruthie Smithers having wheelchair races in their nursing home or whatever your little heart desires.
Fandoms I Will Write
Captain America. It will probably be Reciprocity-ish, because that’s just how my brain works. Steve! Bucky! Natasha! Sam!
American Girl. I have read every single American Girl series, and I was going to list the ones I thought particularly relevant to the current situation - Molly, because fighting fascism; Rebecca, because she’s Jewish and she has refugee relatives - but honestly I think any of the series are relevant; the American Girl books are (however imperfectly) about inclusion and freedom and girls being awesome.
Code Name Verity. More fighting against fascists! Also TRAGEDY. Also flying.
Tamora Pierce’s Protector of the Small. I don’t think Tortall has fascists exactly, but if they did you know Keladry of Mindelan would be in the front lines to stop them.
I will also consider origfic prompts if you have a yen for that, although I think it’s harder to make origfic satisfying at such a short length. But we’ll see!
