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.

  1. This is a great idea, have you thought about contacting the admins at RALST to see if any of their writers want to participate? I think it could make even more money if you allowed other femslash fandoms in.

    1 question - If I donate an amount, can I split my request among more that one writer. For example can I donate 50 dollars and request half words from 2 authors?

  2. Hi, Stephanie. I like your idea about Ralst; I'll see what I can do. And yep, you're welcome to split your donation/request between authors. :)
