ICE OUT!

A Heated Rivalry fandom fundraiser to support immigrant rights in America

ICE is terrorizing communities in the United States, tearing families apart by kidnapping and imprisoning our neighbors. Let’s come together to raise funds for organizations supporting those impacted by the violence and abuse we’re seeing more of every day. As a fandom, we can do our part by using our love for Heated Rivalry to get ICE OUT!

FAQ

- What is the minimum age to join this event? This event is for participants over the age of 18 and are not considered minors in their home country.- How do I send you money? You don't! Please donate directly to any of the supported non-profits we've listed, and submit your donation receipt to us via our form with identifying information blacked out.- I don't have a discord/twitter/bluesky/etc. account, can I still join? As a creator, you must have a discord and an email account. As a donor, you only need an email account so that we can send you a link to your gift.- I have not created any Heated Rivalry fanworks before, can I still sign up as a creator? Yes! We would like creators to have made any fanworks before, not just fanworks from this fandom.- As a donor, can I choose which creator makes me a fanwork? No, the mods will match your prompt to the creator they feel is best suited to create a gift for you. You can however let us know of any DNWs (ie do-not-wants: any elements/tropes you would not want to receive in a gift).- How many prompts can I ask for? As many as you like, as long as you have donated the required amount. So if you've donated $20, you can ask for four $5 prompt, two $10 prompts, or a single $20 prompt. Simply submit the form again for each prompt you'd like, up to your total donated amount.- Can I use gen AI to help in creating fanworks for this event? No. Use of gen AI is strictly prohibited for any and all aspects of this event.
