contact the seller before bidding, even if it fits within their listed
parameters. If you are asking for a specific kink, always ask
first.
Astriiformes’s offerings:
Astriiformes Auction #1
Organizations this auction benefits: Life After Hate *,
Manomet *, Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund *, Votebeat *,
The Ace and Aro Advocacy Project
(See full
list.)
Type of fanwork: Fanfiction
Fandom(s): Tolkien: Lord of the Rings (books), Critical Role
Highest rating: M (Mature)
Length/scope: Depends how much the bidder contributes. The
minimum bid ($10) will get you 5k of fic, with an additional 1k per $5
added on after that (up to a 15k max)
Especially interested in: Just genfic, with the caveat that I
count stories that contain canon couples but don’t center on their
romances as gen.
For LotR: My favorite character is Legolas and
I like writing about any of his significant relationships (ex: with
Gimli, Thranduil, etc). But I love all the LotR protagonists and will
also gladly write ensemble stories (especially about the Fellowship)
or ones centered on other characters.
For CR: I can write
Campaign 1 or 2. For CR1 my favorites are Percy and/or Keyleth; for
CR2 it's Fjord and/or Caduceus. But since I love found family
dynamics, I am also very open to writing ensemble or whole party
stories.
I love writing platonic/queerplatonic relationships,
hurt/comfort, whump, AUs (both canon divergence or the out-of-universe
kind -- let’s talk if you have an idea!), characters with mental
illness, aromantic, asexual, or trans characters/headcanons (though
for trans ones, I'm much more familiar with transmasculine topics),
and autistic or ADHD headcanons.
Unwilling to address: No fics with significant romantic or
sexual themes or content (a possible exception may be if it’s for a
story exploring aromantic or asexual identity, definitely check with
me to confirm though), permanent major character death, "genderbends,"
or AUs in which any of the protagonists are evil or bigoted. While I
am willing to write dark/violent/intense situations (hence offering up
to an M rating), the story must still end on a hopeful note (even if
things are still not wholly fixed/resolved).
Notes: The 15k max mentioned in the bidding section is just to
make 100% sure I can deliver on your bid, but it is entirely possible
that I could end up writing more for a prompt that's a good fit! If
you want to check in with me before the auction closes about an idea
you have and see if it's one of those ones that really vibes well --
especially if you're considering making a fairly significant donation
-- I would love to talk with you about it!

Astriiformes Auction #2
Organizations this auction benefits: Life After Hate *,
Manomet *, Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund *, Votebeat *,
The Ace and Aro Advocacy Project
(See full
list.)
Type of fanwork: Fan labor
Subtype(s): Betaing, Specialist expertise (about a
profession, hobby, subculture, etc)
Fandom(s): Tolkien: The Hobbit (book), Lord of the Rings
(books), Lord of the Rings (movies), Critical Role, Star Wars:
Original Trilogy, Prequel Trilogy, Legends / Extended Universe, Rogue
One
Highest rating: M (Mature)
Length/scope: Depends how much the bidder contributes. Up
to 5k for the minimum bid, plus an additional 1k per $2 added after
that
Especially interested in: For Tolkien: Legolas-centric or full-Fellowship ensemble stories.
For Critical Role: Percy and/or Keyleth-centric stories for Campaign 1, Fjord and/or Caduceus-centric stories for Campaign 2, and full-party ensemble stories for either.
For Star Wars: Original Trio (especially Luke) and Rebellion-centric stories.
In general I am big on team bonding, fun/creative AUs, aro, ace, and trans fic, and hurt/comfort stories!
Unwilling to address: I can't help with fics with significant
romantic or sexual themes or content (a possible exception may be if
it’s for a story exploring aromantic or asexual identity, definitely
check with me to confirm though), although if your story includes a
canon relationship but doesn't particularly center on their romance,
that's fine.
No fics with permanent major character death,
"genderbends," or AUs in which any of the protagonists are evil or
bigoted. I would prefer stories that end on a hopeful note, even if
they contain dark content.
Notes: I'm perfectly happy to offer either more early
development story help (helping you with your plot or worldbuilding,
brainstorming, being available for questions on certain topics as you
plan, etc), after-the-fact beta services (reading over your work and
offering constructive criticism), or some combination of the two --
whatever suits your own writing style best! I'll just want to
establish which you want up front.
I can help you with beta/sensitivity reading or specialty advice
focused on a few different areas, among them: writing aromantic,
asexual and trans characters (though note that I am mostly qualified
to speak on transmasculine topics), ADHD and autistic experiences, and
help with speculative fiction worldbuilding -- especially rooted in
real-world science topics, particularly biology. I love helping people
with really complicated ideas and with thinking about things like
character voice and characterization or how to adapt canon to fit
certain AUs.
I also have some fandom-specific knowledge I can
offer help with, as for LotR I am fairly familiar with Tolkien’s
conlangs, and for Critical Role I am very knowledgeable about D&D
rules, mechanics, classes, and spells.
