Thank Q was a fan charity fundraiser in The Magicians fandom, that was created in response to the death of the character of Quentin Coldwater.

Description from the About Us page:

We are a group of fans, who after the fourth season finale of the tv show The Magicians, have decided to organize this content auction and fundraiser to honor the mentally ill, bisexual lead, Quentin Coldwater. We have decided to give back to the community and celebrate the fans of The Magicians, many of whom finally saw the stigmatized and underrepresented parts of themselves reflected within Quentin Coldwater. We will be raising money for The Trevor Project to help LGBTQ+ youth in crisis.

They raised $11,495 for the Trevor Project. Fans would also submit their donation receipt and have their names added to a raffle where they could win fanworks as prizes.

The group were also trying to organize a fandom auction, but it appears that it never happened.
