Help Haiti!

Some of your favorite Bad Girls fan fic writers have decided to write custom ficlets in an effort to raise donations for disaster relief in Haiti.

Here's how it works:

1) Choose an organization to which you'd like to donate.

2) Make a donation.

3) Comment on your favorite author's thread with a prompt. (For a full list of authors, click here.) Tell us who, when, where, how. Make it detailed or leave it open. And we'll write the ficlet for you. (Check each author's individual thread for specific details.)

4) Spread the word! If you know any other fan fic authors who want to get involved, tell them about us. If you want to get involved, comment on this post with your contact info. If you have friends who would like to read fan fic and help a great cause, send them our way! (We're even open to other fandoms!)

5) Check back
for your story. You'll find a list of links under your author's individual posts.

Let's turn something we love into something world-changing! Let's help Haiti! Remember, all contributions to these charities are deductible on your 2009 taxes!


Update: We are not making a profit off of any of these stories. All funds are donated directly to charities by the requesters. No money will be collected or distributed by any fan fiction writer. After consulting with a lawyer, we are sure this project does not constitute copyright infringement. Please see similar charity fund drives here.

We just want to raise some money for the victims of Haiti by playing nice and writing fan fiction. It's a win-win!

We are suggesting $5 per 500 words, but any amount you can give will certainly be appreciated by the people of Haiti.

I am happy to submit any type of fic, shorties are probably better. Being a brit settings and storylines need to be those that I would know about but besides that I will pretty much have a go at anything. I am happy to write fics that include past storylines or characters and will be happy to discuss anything with the readers about the plot that they require.

My preferred length is long stories so I'd prefer higher word limits if possible. Having said that I'll try my hand at shorter pieces. My usual pairing is Nikki and Helen but I'll write any canonical slash pairing or gen. I can do AU, science fiction, historical and maybe even crossovers if I've seen the other show (remembering that I'm based in the UK). I'll do unusual slash pairings if I can convince myself they'd work - no Bodybag/Nikki requests, please . My only caveat is that I tend towards the angsty so if anyone really doesn't think they can take angst (or anything else) in a story they should warn me so that I can be sure to leave whatever it is out.

Look forward to hearing from you !

I prefer the Helen/Nikki pairing, but would be willing to try some Trish fic as long as she's not the "bad" guy. I also prefer not to be asked to write 'sequels' to any of my existing stories (at this time). I'm happy to write Larkhall or post-Larkhall stories - or even new ideas (new ideas are very very good).
