Something I most likely haven't talked about but would y'all to know if you're here for my fics, is that I have some rules about pronouns while I write.
First, no emoji or random words pronouns because it's confusing as hell and not readable
Second, for characters using several pronouns I only use one per paragraph and can switch between paragraphs.
Third, when one character uses several pronouns I tend to refer to them with one that isn't already used by someone else in the paragraph. Example: in a paragraph, one person uses she/her, another uses they/them, and then we have the character that uses whatever pronouns. So for that last character I'll most likely use he/him in order to make the reader understand more easily who does/says what.
So tomorrow or next week I’ll try to make overalls just because
This Google Drive AI scraping bullshit actually makes me want to cry. My entire life is packed into Google Drive. All of my writing over the years, all of my academic documents, everything.
I’m just so overwhelmed with all the shit I’m going to have to move. I’m lucky to have Scrivener, but online data storage has been super important as I’ve had so many shitty computers, and the only reason I haven’t lost work is because Google Drive has been my backup storage unit.
My partner has recommended gitlab to move my files to - it seems useful, and I can try and explain more about what it is and how it works when I get more familiar with it. I’m unsure if it’s a text editor, or can work that way. He was explaining something about the version history that I don’t quite understand right now but might later. I’m just super overwhelmed and frustrated that this is the dystopia we live in right now.
I so badly want to write but I don't have the drive to do so...
Not 100% sure I'm reading this right but,
The tiers are intended to encourage actions that are positive for the marketplace and recognise and reward artists who invest time creating and promoting unique products.
Hum... Great, so if you wanted to have a redbubble on the side to make some money then you're basically not welcome???
And seriously I am in tears at that like wow. Basically, if you make enough money for Redbubble, the fee is removed. Basic tiers have to pay a fee, but premium and pro don't.
There's also the "opportunity to create licensed fan art" that bugs me because, there already was a list of things you could make fan art of depending on the list they have, but now you can't unless you have a premium or pro account? While (from what I've seen at least) most small artists make fan art and sell it because they know that there is a fanbase for it and that it will sell.
I do understand the copyright problem they face, sure. But the rest still is... not good.
Over the past few years the amount of new accounts and content has increased significantly on our marketplace. This has resulted in increased costs as we’ve needed greater investment in resources to operate the marketplace and support our artist community and your customers.
So yeah, increased costs that they will make the small artists pay for and subsequently make people think twice before coming on the plateform, or just leave it.
you can't just make any animal long and call it art

2019-2021 had me go bonkers with me feeling so well and having so much time and fun
Like damn the amount of stuff I wrote
but then 2022-2023 I have like... so few works per year because lmaooo less time and energy since I had to move and have more stuff to do
Yeah ! write long comments!! receiving comments is nice but show me exactly what you like about my work so I can give you some funky infos about it!
but like who started the idea that fanfiction writers are somehow bothered by enthusiasm for their work???? cause i see posts all the time like “do writers really want to talk with us about their fics? Do writers really want long comments? I dont want to bother them” and i just think its absolutely ridiculous????
ofc i want to talk to you about it, and would love to hear you go on about it. i took time out of my real life to write this stuff down so we could all share these characters!!! the idea that you’re bothering a fanfiction writer, a fellow nerd, is absolutely crazy
Cross-posting my work to SquidgeWorld without changing anything in them because,,, you know, archive
and omg...
I was writing like garbage
xey/xem French Don't be fooled, I'm a platypus, I don't much stuff (art side account)
