If you are a 100 Monkeys fan, we have another treat for you. A wonderful photographer friend has donated 8 fantastic photos taken at the London show on 15 Dec 2011 at the O2 Academy Islington. Please help us raise an amazing amount for an extremely worthy cause.
As before, bids will be taken via email to fandomforheroes@gmail.com until 21 february (which is the final day for donations and submissions)

Announcement: Extension to contribution and Donation Time

2012-02-08T10:44:00.000-08:00

We have decided to extend the writing time as a few people (organisers included) have been struggling with getting their one shots/chapters written in time. So, rather than needing to get your contribution or donation to us by 14 Feb, you now have until 21 Feb.

Please continue to pimp out the fact that you are contributing your time/money to this wonderful cause and hopefully help make the lives of injured service men and women a little better.

Thank you to those who have already submitted their contributions, they are wonderful.

Donations Update

2012-01-29T14:06:00.000-08:00

As there are just over 2 weeks until the story donations are due in so we can compile the compilation to send out, we thought we'd let you know how donations are going.

The auction raised a whopping $109 (£70) for the photo kindly donated by Jodie Platz. Thank you to everyone that bid, and congratulations to the winner!

As for the donations for the compilation, we have (so far) raised $150 (£95).

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far, I wonder if we can get more... help spread the word as much as you can

The Launch of Fandom(s) for Heroes

2011-11-11T03:00:00.001-08:00

Welcome to the launch of the newest fandom fundraiser. We wanted to launch it today, for obvious reasons, but you'll need to bear with us for a short while as we pull this whole thing together.

For a long time now I've looked at the various fundraisers going on in the fandoms and thought that, as fantastic as they all are, that it would be great to support a UK based cause. With this in mind, we have chosen to support our servicemen and women by supporting Help for Heroes and The Poppy Appeal.

It's been over a year since this idea first emerged; twelve months in which our lives took over and this project took a back seat for a while, but also twelve months in which, as of 10th November, 2011, another 44 British soldiers lost their lives in Afghanistan, and, as of 15th October, 2011, 288 more were admitted to field hospitals after being wounded in action.

We ask you all to take a look at the Help for Heroes and Poppy Appeal website to see the full extent of what we are hoping to help a little with. We would also like to here if any relevant stories to this that you, as a fandom, can share with us as to why this cause is important to you. There will be a page set up here for these stories, so please contact us at fandomforheroes@gmail.com to share.

This will work in the usual way, we ask any authors out there who would like to donate a piece to the compilation that we will put together, to sign up (form for this to follow), and anybody who wishes to support us, to make a donation to Help for Heroes or The Poppy Appeal and present us with the receipt, to receive the compilation.

This is open to all fandoms, as well as original pieces of fiction. Please, please help us to spread the word about what we are doing. You can find us on Twitter here: @fandom4heroes

Thank you for all of your support.
