★ AUCTION WEEK INFO ★

We’re partly through Day 5, which means we only have about two more days until the auction is over! Keep track of all the auctions you’re eyeing, and don’t forget to bid on time.

We want to thank everyone who has been bidding on our wonderful golden needle auctions. We started yesterday with 77 needles, and now we’re down to 43. That’s incredible. Of those remaining, a third consists of beta service auctions, nearly all of which are $10 or less. That’s an extremely good bargain considering all the benefits betas provide, so go bid on our betas!

As we’re entering the final days of Auction Week, we’d like to help creators promote themselves. Here are some tips to ensure that as many people find out about your auction(s) as possible:

  1. Reblog your auction post if you haven’t done so yet! Find your post on our list of creators, and click the circular arrow on your post to reblog it.

  2. If you’ve reblogged your post earlier in the week, do so again in the final days/hours leading up to the auction closing time. Some people may not have seen your first reblog, or they may have forgotten about it as it’s been a few days since it crossed their dash. Consider queueing your reblogs (click the post to reblog and on the drop-down menu on the “Post” button, click “Add to queue”) or scheduling them to be posted at specific times throughout the day, so that your followers in different time zones aren’t left out (click the post to reblog and on the drop-down menu on the “Post” button, click “Schedule”).

  3. Share ideas/prompts you’d love to work on and your strengths as a creator. Are you an expert at drawing complex backgrounds? Is there a rarepair you would love to make a moodboard for, or are you itching to write a horror fic because you’ve been prepping for Halloween? Did you fall in love with the Venom movie and want to make Venom plushies? Let people know! Reblog your auction post and include more information, or share on Twitter, Discord, and any other social media platform you’re on.

  4. Talk to people on our Discord server. Don’t be shy! Everyone’s nice and we love having new people show up every day. Many of our creators have found new bidders this way and have made some new friends while they were at it. Don’t forget about our creator-bidding matchmaking channel, which is for bidders to put up ideas they’re looking for creators to fill, and for creators to advertise specific ideas they want to create!

  5. Let people know if you’re open to group bids. Are you open to making sequels of existing fics or expanding on a universe you’ve created? Did you hear that someone had an exciting prompt for you but doesn’t have the budget to bid on your auction? This is a great way for people to get involved even if they don’t have much money to spare (chipping in $1 or $5 to a pool can make a big difference), and you’re helping raise more money for charity! It’s a win-win.

We also have more character/ship/fandom-specific lists to share (get in touch if you’d like one to share with your followers as well):

  • The happystevebingo team has helped us create a massive list of all possible Steve Rogers creators, with pairings listed next to creators.
  • All the Stucky creators participating in MTH are on Stucky AU Big Bang’s list
  • Marvel TV Bang has a list of all the creators offering auctions involving Marvel live action shows (Agent Carter, AoS, Cloak & Dagger, Marvel Netflix, and the Runaways)
  • Spideypool fans can now check out the pairing list on Tumblr in addition to Discord
  • Winteriron fans can do the same, thanks to summerpipedream’s post here.

Thanks for a phenomenal week so far, and see you tomorrow for Day 6!
