There is ONE WEEK left until creator registration closes!
We’re absolutely delighted by the turnout—thank you so much to everyone who signed up already! We’re so excited about our list of creators, which we know will only grow in our last week of registration.
If you signed up, you should have received a confirmation email shortly after submitting your form, so please check your inbox and get back to us! Some gmail accounts appear to be blocking creators from replying directly to that email; if this is happening to you, whitelist marveltrumpshate@gmail.com and send a new email with your reply. Remember to tell us the username you signed up with so we know who you are. None of our emails have bounced, so if you haven’t received an email within a few hours after you signed up, please check your spam folder. If it isn’t there either, please email us at marveltrumpshate@gmail.com and let us know.
Sign-ups are open until 11:59 PM ET on Saturday, October 1 (what time is that for me?), so there’s still time to join us as a creator and help raise money for some Marvelous causes. You can view our example creator sign-up form if you’re looking for guidance on filling it out. Remember that if you participated last year, you can look up your 2021 auction post here and reuse whatever information is still relevant. If you’re new to MTH this year, see what people offered and wrote in their sign-ups by looking through our MTH offerings Tumblr and searching by auction type (https://mthofferings.tumblr.com/search/auction:-TYPEHERE). Replace “TYPEHERE” with one of the following: art, beta, craft, digital, fic, podfic, translation, video, or labor.
Additionally, we’re hosting an all-day live Q&A on Friday, September 30, on our Discord server. If you have questions but won’t be able to join the live chat, you’re always welcome to contact us directly after checking our FAQ or stop by our Discord anytime.
To those of you deciding whether or not to join, remember that there will be plenty of time for you to complete your auction work. We have a soft deadline of one year, so as long as you communicate your timetable clearly in your sign-up, there’s no need to stress about filling an auction immediately. If you don’t finish by then, that’s okay as long as you’re in touch with your winner and they’re aware of your progress. You’ll still be eligible to sign up as a creator for MTH 2023. You only need to worry about a hard deadline if you want to sign up as a creator for MTH 2024, in which case you must fulfill your auction before sign-ups open in 2024 to be eligible for that year’s auction.
If you’re still concerned about your ability to complete your work but really want to join, we recommend stating limits on your sign-up forms; for example, only offer works up to a certain word count or offer a specific type of art like a line art portrait. You can also state when you’ll be able to start working on the piece if you can’t begin right away and encourage people to contact you before they bid to ask questions about what you’re willing to create.
So sign on up and help us raise funds for some great charities. Even a winning bid/donation as small as $5 is a valuable contribution—together, all those $5s add up!
