AAAA PLUSHIE REAL!!! :DD

Why do you reblog your own fics so much?

Because someone might as well!? And look at this. Look. At. This.

Does this look right to you??

These are just the last three fics I wrote. I appreciate the likes, believe me I do, but you have to understand. Likes do nothing for content creators. It’s the reblogs. Because that’s how you find shit on your dashboard. Through reblogs. Not likes. This isn’t twitter or tiktok or instagram. This is a website that’s run by the reblog system.

Reblogging helps content creators put their stuff out there. Why do you think so many people stopped writing fanfic and creating beautiful fanart and edits? It’s because they put in hours of work and don’t get nearly enough notes for their masterpieces. Yes we do this because we enjoy it but like...some validation won’t hurt. A boost of confidence here and there might be all someone needs to finish whatever thing they started and left.

Anyway, I’m still going to reblog my shit...

Aaaa thank you for putting this up! I was going to do it myself, but then I saw this and was like "Ooo! Re-blog!" I am very excited and am loving working with everyone! And I am very happy with how the teaser turned out :)

Welcome To Interstellar.

The stars giveth, and the stars taketh away.

Welcome to Interstellar.

So yay! The teaser trailer is finally up, and I promise I'll have a better mic by Monday!

Psst! Fellow writers!!! Thought I'd reblog to let more people know.

Fanfiction Authors: HEADS UP

(Non-authors, please RB to signal boost to your author friends!)

An astute reader informed me this morning that one of my fics (Children of the Future Age) had been pirated and was being sold as a novel on Amazon:

(And they weren't even creative with their cover design. If you're going to pirate something that I spent a full year of my life writing, at least give me a pretty screenshot to brag about later. Seriously.)

I promptly filed a DMCA complaint to have it removed, but I checked out the company that put it up -- Plush Books -- and it looks like A LOT of their books are pirated fic. They are by no means the only ones doing this, either -- the fact that """publishers""" can download stories from AO3 in ebook format and then reupload them to Amazon in just a few clicks makes fic piracy a common problem. There are a whole host of reasons why letting this continue is bad -- including actual legal risk to fanfiction archives -- but basically:

IF YOU ARE A FANFIC AUTHOR WITH LONG AND/OR POPULAR WORKS, PLEASE CHECK AMAZON TO SEE IF YOUR STORIES HAVE BEEN PIRATED.

You can search for your fics by title, or by text from the description (which is often just copied wholesale from AO3 as well). If you find that someone has stolen your work and is selling it as their own, you can lodge a DMCA complaint (Amazon.com/USA site; other countries have different systems). If you haven't done this before, it's easy! Here's a tutorial:

HOW TO FILE A COPYRIGHT COMPLAINT FOR STOLEN WORK ON AMAZON.COM:

First, go to this form. You'll need to be signed into your Amazon account.

Select the radio buttons/dropdown options (shown below) to indicate that you are the legal Rights Owner, you have a copyright concern, and it is about a pirated product.

Enter the name of your story in the Name of Brand field.

In the Link to the Copyrighted Work box, enter a link to the story on AO3 or whatever site your work is posted on.

In the Additional Information box, explain that you are the author of the work and it is being sold without your permission. That's all you really need. If you want, you can include additional information that might be helpful in establishing the validity of your claim, but you don't have to go into great detail. You can simply write something like this:

I am the author of this work, which is being sold by [publisher] without my permission. I originally published this story in [date/year] on [name of site], and have provided a link to the original above. On request, I can provide documentation proving that I am the owner of the account that originally posted this story.

In the ASIN/ISBN-10 field, copy and paste the ID number from the pirated copy's URL. You'll find this ten-digit number in the Amazon URL after the word "product," as in the screenshot below. (If the URL extends beyond this number, you can ignore everything from the question mark on.) Once this number has been added, Amazon will pull the product information automatically and add it to the complaint form, so you can check the listing title and make sure it's correct.

Finally, add your contact information to the relevant fields, check the "I have read and accept the statements" box, and then click Submit. You should receive an email confirmation that Amazon has received the form.

Please share this information with your writer friends, keep an eye out for/report pirated works, and help us keep fanfiction free and legally protected!

NOTE: All of the above also applies to Amazon products featuring stolen artwork, etc., so fan artists should check too!

Where I Have Been

Hi all! Currently dealing with some personal issues so the next YT video will be delayed! (yes, I know it's been like a month since I've uploaded there, sorry about that!) Meanwhile, I'll be doing what I can behind the scenes to make up for it. I've got a few things up my sleeves (a few videos to record while I'm not home!) and I hope that you all enjoy them! I will also try to get some more clips out and edit down some VODs so I will try my best to upload something within the next couple of weeks. That's all I have to say for now, I think! I will continue to keep you all updated :D

Do you ever think about how weird it is that when Bill Cipher possessed Dipper, he pulled his entire soul out of his body. Which meant that Dipper was fully conscious and was able to observe Bill in an out-of-body experience-

but when he possessed Ford, Ford was never able to remember what Bill did in his body.

What I think is usually Bill will pull someone’s soul out to create an empty puppet he can control because it’s much easier that way. But for some reason, he pushes Ford’s soul to the side instead. So they’re both inhabiting the same body, but Ford is in a sort of stasis sleep in the deep recesses of his mind.

And that’s why he legitimately has no idea what Bill is up to in his body. He can’t see what he’s doing, because he isn’t conscious for it and he doesn’t have the same out-of-body experience Dipper had.

I also think how interesting it would be for Dipper and Ford to talk about their shared experience with possesion and slowly come to the realization that their experience was wildly different. Ford would be shocked to learn about Dipper’s out-of-body experience.

So I decided to read Book of Bill and managed to finish right before the countdown ended

Progress update on Project A Dec 19th 2023

INTRO: his month marks the 3 year anniversary of when we dropped the teaser and as usual, we're back for another yearly developer update! This time we’ll be showing a little more than usual.

MILESTONES: We’ve hit another massive milestone on the project.. ALL of our main levels are now playable from start to finish! We’re also very close to finishing the level assets too! After extensive iterations, feedback, and hard work, we’re confident we’ve made something great.

BEHIND THE SCENES: We would also like to show some behind the scenes of our creation process today! We’ve compiled some special footage for you to take a peek at!

GIANT SPOILER: Whoops, I accidentally dropped my glasses while taking the screenshot.

HOW MUCH IS LEFT? As highlighted in the earlier milestone update, the project has reached an excellent stage. The major tasks are nearing completion, and the focus will soon shift to polishing everything. It’s important to note that the polishing phase may be time-consuming.

END Much like Hat Kid, the developers are now seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. I hope you enjoyed this special update and we hope to share more as soon as possible!

Thank you very much for your continued support and patience as we bring this thing to the finish line! As a bonus, here's a new OST preview too: https://youtu.be/KeE0mHM6G4A?si=-k3hIPGLGd5SevbW
