LMAO 😭
Currently losing it over whoever wrote this gem on the gravity falls shipping wiki
Hey did y’all know I have a Patreon so y’all can help me make better quality stuff? I’m currently working on two (technically actually three) projects, Welcome To Interstellar, a pretty cool fan series which I’ll post more about tomorrow, and also the entirety of Interstellar Studios which I plan on making a ton of cool improv stuff on! (also Interstellar Studios is the same YT channel in which I will be posting WTI on so yay yippee) So if you would like to help me make better cooler stuff you should consider joining if you can! It would help me out a ton and would be super appreciated! :D
today in 1976, 6 unarmed palestinians were killed and over 100 others were injured by israeli forces during protests against the theft of their home.
today, even after 75 years of israeli occupation, they are still here. they are continuing to fight for their land, their history, their freedom.
today, we recognize the people of palestine and remind ourselves that we are still fighting and standing for palestine and we will not stop until a permanent ceasefire.
..BLONDE.
queer as in gay but also queer as in unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Y'all I got my silly goober!!! :D
Psst! Fellow writers!!! Thought I'd reblog to let more people know.
(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:
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:
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!
It terrifies me that there’s so much raging passion in the lgbt+ community that insist on marginalizing asexuals and implying that asexuals don’t deserve to have safe spaces. There’s still so much acephobia so I just wanna know which blogs are genuinely supportive and a safe space for asexuals
I don’t care that most of the main characters are blood relatives. Gravity Falls is about found family. No I will not be elaborating
so I remember these exist :P
