GaaLee Fanfics for Gaza // Fanfiction Bids for Falastin

In an effort to help Palestinian families who are trying to raise funds to evacuate from Gaza due to the occupations continued genocide, I have decided to offer up GaaLee fanfiction for anyone who donates. My goal with this campaign is to focus on a small group of GFMs at a time in order to better focus the financial impact on these families and their campaigns.

There are two ways to donate in order to maximize donations, and both require proof of donation. The minimum for GaaLee Fanfics for Gaza is $5, while Fanfiction Bids for Falastin starts at $20. Of course I encourage anyone capable of donating more to do so, as the Rafah invasion is a near threat, and even without the occupation invading, they are still bombing Gaza, including the so-called 'safe zone' of Rafah.

Below follows the families this campaign will focus on for now, and how these two campaigns will work.

Donate to:

Amal is 24 years old with two beautiful daughters. Her goal is $25,000 and (at the time of posting) she has raised $16,482.

The Wishah family is a family of 8, which includes their surviving cat. Their goal is €71,500 and (at the time of posting) they have raised €12,253.

Nourhan is raising funds to help her family of 9 evacuate. Her goal is €70,000, but (at the time of posting) she has only raised €25.

The Rozan family is a beautiful family of six, including children and teens, trying to evacuate. The family's goal is €38,000 and (at the time of posting) they have raised €5,915.

Rawan is a 15 year old girl doing everything she can to raise the funds for her family of 6, which includes her younger brothers. Rawan's goal is $30,000 CAD, and (at the time of posting) she has raised $6,159 CAD.

Omar just turned 20, as today (4/26) is his birthday. He is a friend of Rawan's and is raising funds to evacuate himself and his family. His goal is €20,000, and (at the time of posting) he has raised €11,022.

Mona is a mother of three trying to evacuate herself, her children, her husband, and her sick mother. Her goal is $50,000, but (at the time of posting) she has only raised $609.

Wafa is a single mother from Gaza trying to raise funds to evacuate herself and her daughter. Her campaign is in Danish krone with an exchange rate of kr6.97 for every US $1. Her goal is kr100,000 (=$14,345.56), and (at the time of posting) she has only raised kr5,562 (=$797.90).

Somaya needs help to evacuate herself and her two children. Her goal is $40,000, and (at the time of posting) she has received $2,085.

For more information on how each of these campaigns will work, please check below the cut. If you are not familiar with my writing, you can check it out here.

GaaLee Fics for Gaza

This is a fairly straight-forward donation campaign. Donate at least the minimum amount to any of the above families (or multiple of the above families), and I will write you a GaaLee fanfic. Below are more details:

Minimum donation is $5USD. Any donation to a campaign run in a different currency must still meet the minimum in USD. Send proof of donation to me via DMs. The screenshot must clearly show your name and the amount as a finalized payment.

No NSFW.

Only GaaLee fics, Gaara-centric fics, or Lee-centric fics. Side pairings are fine, assuming it's a side-pairing I typically write (ShikaTema, NejiTen, KakaGai) and not a NOTP in order to ensure the speed and quality of the fic.

AUs and canon-verse are fine. No Bortuo.

Fics will be 2,000 words minimum, but depending on the prompt may go up to 5,000.

Donating more than $5 will not change the word count, unless it is a generous donation (ie. $50 or more) and/or you donate to all 9 families above. However, bear in mind this will prolong the writing process.

Donations to multiple families counts as separate fics, or you can combine these donations into a longer fic. Again, bear in mind longer fics will take more time.

You may request a fic idea of your own, or if you do not have one you may request a fic from my 'ideas doc' which I will pick at random.

You cannot make a $20 donation for a GaaLee Fic for Gaza and use that same donation towards a bid on a fic update. Those must be separate.

There is currently no cap to how many fics I will write, but that is subject to change in the event this blows up (which I don't expect).

Fanfiction Bids for Falastin

Unlike the above, this campaign hopes to encourage larger donations through bidding on a fanfic update.

As I am a notoriously slow writer, who will disappear for a year and then return with a 30k word chapter update, and because @shukakumoodboard indicated hope that a donation could lead to a certain fic being updated, I thought perhaps other people might also consider donating for an update as opposed to something new. The minimum/starting bid is higher because the WIPs available for bidding are all a lot more complex than a 2k word one-shot, and will take more time. The bidding format also allows me to only worry about ONE large update, as opposed to a handful of updates.

And because this is about helping Palestinian families, you must actually donate to the families for your bid to count towards a potential update. While I would love to promise multiple 30k word updates, I do not have that capacity right now and so only one person can make the final choice on what will be updated.

Below is a more thorough breakdown of this particular donation campaign and the fics available for bidding:

Starting donation is $20. Like the GaaLee Fics for Gaza campaign, proof of donation is required. Donation does not guarantee you will be able to pick a fic for updating.

You cannot combine donating a donation from GaaLee Fics for Gaza fic with this campaign.

There is no min/max word count, as this will be for ongoing fics. Depending on the fic the update could be anywhere from 5k words to 50k.

There will be no prompts. Again, this is for a fic update. All WIPs are already plotted and changes will not be made to the plot.

You can bid as many times as you want, but separate bids will not be counted as one large bid. I will update a separate post as donations come in, so anyone donating can see what the most recent highest bid is.

Donations for this campaign will start immediately, and the end date will be May 20th.

At the end of this campaign, the donor with the highest single donation will be able to chose a fic update from ONE of the following fics:

Absolution

The Art of Love

The Ballad of the Dragon and the Phoenix*

Blood on the Branches*

It Eats Your Heart*

Thirteen Strokes

*Note: These fics are not as far along and the next chapter updates are not likely to be extremely long. Estimated at under 10K.

As a general note to everyone donating, please keep in mind that while I am running this campaign and will do my best to deliver fics quickly, I am also working, disabled, and most importantly still helping families who reach out to me on IG with their campaigns. I have a spreadsheet of nearly 100 families, with more people waiting on me to answer their messages. I will set aside a day a week to work on any fics for this campaign, but please understand these fics will not come out immediately.

Thank you in advance to everyone who donates, whether you donate for a fic or not. Truly, you have no idea how important every single donation is to every single family is. The messages I have received filled with gratitude and kindness would break your heart and make you cry. It was so impossible to pick only nine families to ask you to help when I have so many more reaching out to me; when there are so many more who I haven't spoken to whose campaigns I've seen on my various social media feeds. No one family is more important than another. Every family is filled with love, with stories, with memories, with hopes and dreams; every family matters so much; every single family deserves to live free, long, happy lives; and every family has experienced so much pain and loss there is no way to do that justice with words, but they deserve the chance to grieve, to breathe, and to heal.

Please help these families reach their goals, and if you cannot donate the minimum required for fic, please even $1 will make a difference. Every single thing we do creates a ripple effect. One dollar becomes two, becomes three, becomes four... until one day a family is safe.

So please, regardless of the fic I am offering, do what you can--whether that's sharing GFMs or donating. Every little bit helps.

XO

what are your thoughts on lee’s design in boruto

i haaaate his design so much, they did him so dirty, here's some small tweaks i think would improve it. I think it'd be so cute if lee went from emulating gai's hair to metal's undercut and maybe bringing back the braid bc i love both

#hoh lee????#deaf lee???????#pls plspls pls plspls #naruto

just wanted to say that i love ur gaalee stuff SOOOO MUCH i just finished reading the pizza shop one and it had me giggling and kicking my feet…thank you for carrying the gaalee community on ur shoulders

Thank you so much! How sweet of you to say! We Build Another World has a super-special place in my heart (probably because of all the yokai and cryptid references snuck in there + my many years of wage slavery to Dominos Pizza), so I'm always delighted when someone likes it!

I wouldn't say I carry the GaaLee community on my shoulders, though. There's dozens of folks out there who have made this community the vibrant, thriving thing we have now. As much as I'd like to take credit, I know that without all the brilliant authors and artists and playlist creators and meta writers and rebloggers and likers, we wouldn't be where we are today. I've been blessed to be one little piece of the puzzle, that's all.

But again, thank you. Your kind words mean the world to me <3

The Finish Line!

I wasn't expecting to write this update so soon after the last one, but as of this morning, we have officially reached (and exceeded!!) our fundraising goal!! A million thank yous to every single person who helped us along this journey, whether through a donation, spreading the word, or sharing words of support.

When I started this fundraiser, to be honest, I wasn't very optimistic. I was thinking, "Well, maybe we'll get a few hundred dollars and I'll apply for some credit cards and hopefully that will be enough." I would not, in a million years, have expected the outpouring of kindness and generosity we've received from our community. I don't think I realized how much support we had out there until the past few weeks.

I've been crying off and on since I woke up this morning (and no, that's not just my eyes watering from the cold from hell I've been fighting off, lol), but it's a good kind of crying. A cathartic kind. All of the anxiety, stress, worry ... whatever you want to call it, that's been building since I first got the quote for my treatment, it's all been lifted as of this morning. I feel lighter as a person and so, so optimistic for the first time in ... well, probably since I received my diagnosis last summer. It's indescribable, really. I guess the closest word would be "hope". I feel hopeful, for the first time in a long time.

And it's all thanks to all of you. I know I've said this over and over again, but there truly aren't enough words in the English language (or any of the other vocabularies I could tap into!) to express the overwhelming gratitude I'm feeling today. I thank you, my wife thanks you, and my whole family thanks you for everything that each and every one of you has done to get us here. We wouldn't be here without you.

I'll be closing commissions for the time being, so I won't be accepting any new comms. If you already requested a commission, expect delivery within 2 weeks of your donation date (or whenever we discussed, if we picked a different date).

Sending you kitty snuggles (if you aren't allergic) and e-hugs,

Greyson & co.

#updates #thank you #we are all sobbing on this blessed day #or at least i am

I haven't boosted this in a couple of days because I was having the workweek from hell and then battling the cold from hell, but as of today, we are officially HALFWAY!!!! to our goal. I couldn't have gotten here without you all. I am all set to start treatment on May 9th and am covered for the first two of my four payments. I'm beyond grateful to everyone.

That means we still have another 50% to go, though, so please continue to share this where you can and donate if you're able! Thank you all!!

$1 = 100 words: drabbles or ficlets of your choice of fandom and pairing/character!

As some of you already know, I've been dealing with some serious health issues in the past year. My doctor has recommended a treatment that could help alleviate or even eliminate my symptoms, but it's very intensive (5 days a week) and very, very expensive. It also isn't covered by my insurance. Being sick has decimated my savings and my PTO from work, so I can't afford to take time off or pay for the treatment on my own right now.

As a result, I'm offering to write drabbles or ficlets in exchange for Ko‑fi donations!

Here's how it works:

Send me a Ko‑fi donation in any amount.

I'll write you a drabble or ficlet according to the amount you sent. $1 = 100 words!

Contact me either in your donation notes or by any of the methods listed on my Ko-Fi page with the fandom, ship (or character(s) if you want gen), squicks/do-not-wants (DNWs), and a one- to two-word prompt. Remember, these are drabbles, so there won't be too much plot to them!

I'll send you your drabble / ficlet via your preferred method within 2 weeks of your donation date.

For more details, click the image above, or just click here!
