The Aca-Awesome Aca-Auction

5^th July – 7^th July 2013

GMT time

You really just read that.

No, really.

Your Aca-Awesome Aca-Auction team are Gen O’Fanfick/Chantel Knight, Tori W Inch-Tester, and Silver Spoon. Our mission is simple – to bring you aca-b**ches some fabulous wares that will have you pitch-slapping each other in your efforts to place those bids.

An album of colour photographs will be available exactly one week before the auction begins so you can peruse the goods on offer. There will be a mix of fandom merchandise, handmade items, and fic services, (eew, gross, not that kind of services)!

In order to view this album, you will need to become a member of the FFA Fundraisers Facebook group. You can do so here -

The auction concept is a simple one really – you lovely people pledge to donate something aca-awesome that you own and no longer want or need, and someone as equally lovely will bid on it in the name of charity. 

Bidders will have from 5^th July 2013 GMT time to 7^th July 2013 GMT time to duke it out. Winning bidders will then donate the required amount to the required charity, and email their donation receipt to FFAFundraisers@outlook.com

Simple! There are a few formalities and technicalities, but all of these are outlined in the rules available in the following posts, which are helpfully separated into those for auction contributors, and those for auction bidders. We kind of hope you’ll be both!

Go forth, donate, bid, and have fun you awesome nerds!

“Charity begins at home.”


We’ve all heard it, right? The phrase often tossed out there when someone finds it difficult to get behind a particular cause. Not because they are a bad person, but because they find it hard to justify offering help to a distant source whilst seemingly turning a blind eye to the suffering that occurs on their own doorstep.

This year, FanficAholics Fundraisers have decided to do something a little different, with just that very phrase, and all its implications, in mind. Picture this – a fandom charity event bigger and more diverse than any that have come before it. Are you on board yet?

Following the success of 2011’s Junkin’ For Joplin auction, which raised a significant amount for the victims of the tornado that struck the community of Joplin, Missouri, FFA Fundraisers are back with a few new faces, fresh ideas, and some epic fundraisers.

This year, the multiple fundraisers that take place will see donations sent to three major international charities – meaning that your money is certain to benefit your community, as well as the wider world. Not only this, but the gals at the drawing board will be offering contributing persons the opportunity to personally select the charitable cause that will be helped by their submission.

All we ask is that you take the time to get behind these amazing causes, and even more amazing people who hold the desire to help very close to their hearts. There are some fictastic times ahead, and we know you’ll want to be a part of them!

Come one, come all fandoms, and help us spread the word about FFA Fundraisers 2013.
