Questions for the creator? Reach out to them via Tumblr (here)!
If you have a very specific prompt and are not flexible, it's best to
contact the creator before bidding, even if it fits within their
listed parameters. If you are asking for a specific kink, always
ask first.

Length/scope: For research assistance and
specialist expertise questions, the minimum bid is $5. If you are
looking for sensitivity reading of your fic, however, I ask that you
bid at least $5 per 10k of writing you'd like me to look over (10k
would by a $5 minimum, 20k a $10 minimum, and so
on)
Special interests (what is this?): Aro/ace characters,
Canonically trans or nonbinary chars, Gen (no ship) or platonic works,
Trans or nonbinary interpretations of canon characters
Fanwork Details:
Jewish & American culture-picking, sensitivity reading for
Jewish, aromantic, asexual, transgender (especially transmasculine),
ADHD, autistic, and chronically and mentally ill characters, as well
as writing queerplatonic relationships.
Specialist expertise: Archives and archival work, stringed instruments
and orchestras, queer history, scientific & medical history,
historical research
Relevant experience/background:
I'm an American Jew, aro/ace and transgender, both ADHD and
autistic, and manage chronic physical and mental health conditions
like POTS and OCD. I should also add that my queerplatonic partner has
severe ME/CFS, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which I have also become
very familiar with.
As far as specialist expertise goes, I'm a grab bag. I've played viola
for 16 years; I currently work as an archives assistant in a LGBTQ+
history library & have fairly in-depth knowledge of both archives and
queer history; I previously worked in a historical medical library and
study the history of science, particularly in Early Modern Europe; I
also work for my state's historical society teaching middle and high
school students how to do historical research projects, and know of a
lot of great research resources that I would love to connect you with
as a result!
Additional notes about labor offered:
I do a lot of really in-depth historical research for my own
fic (for some particularly relevant examples on Ao3, check out "Go
Down to the Netherworld, Plant Grapes," "Stemma Codicum," and "Future
Boy") and would love to help you figure out what resources you have
access to and how to go about doing solid historical research for
media set in other time periods or historical AUs.
I am willing to work with folks writing for any fandom, though if
you're looking for a particularly good match, some of my personal
favorites include The Locked Tomb, Critical Role, The Owl House,
Pentiment, Back to the Future (the movies and musical), Lord of the
Rings, Dracula, and Dungeon Meshi.
Subjects/theme/tropes of interest:
Historical fandoms and AUs; trans male characters; stories
about disability and mental illness; asexuality, aromanticism, and
queerplatonic relationships; whump and hurt/comfort; friendship; the
complexity of identity, personhood, and self-discovery; science
fiction and fantasy; elaborate worldbuilding, Jewish characters and
Judaism.
Unwilling to address:
While I am comfortable offering my services to those writing
sex- and romance-centric works, I am very much sex- and romance-averse
myself and will not be able to offer very much feedback on those
elements.
Auctions run from 8:00AM EST, 25 February 2025, to 8:00PM EST, 1 March
2025. Bids before or after this period are invalid and will not be
counted. If you would like to bid on this auction:
Step 1: Check the bidding spreadsheet to find out what the current
high bid is. (Note: It may take up to five minutes for a bid to
appear.)
Step 2: Fill out the creator's bidding form with a bid that is higher than the current high bid. If you want to make it harder for someone to outbid you, bid higher! We will NOT notify you if someone outbids you. FTH will only notify you if you are the high bidder after the auctions end.
