Reblog art guys. Seriously.
Saw a post like this with negative outlook so I asked for it to be fixed
So, as some of you probably know, I recently premiered the teaser/trailer thing for my webseries Welcome To Interstellar (which might end up being an ARG of sorts)! To kick this off, I will be (most likely) going live tomorrow at somewhere around 10:30am EST! I will be talking about the series and will very likely be joined by some members of my cast and/or crew! I'm so excited, and I hope to see you there!!! :D If you haven't seen the teaser/trailer thing yet, you can watch it here!
pronouns don't mean gender and it should not be the base assumption that they do. send post
Y'all I got my silly goober!!! :D
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!
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

New Year plans! :)
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
Reblog this, spread the word
For anyone who is unaware, MAP means "minor attracted person" though this is nothing but a false name Pedophiles use in attempt to weasel their way into the Queer community. If you see anyone using this flag, block them and report them if you can.
Edit: I've seen a lot of people mention this so I'd like to state it here as well so more people can see it. 1) DO NOT REFER TO PEDOPHILES AS "MAPS". The only reason I used it here was to make people aware of what it means in this context. Actually using it when talking about pedophiles does nothing but help them hide and it also hurts the animation community. Which brings me to point 2) the term "MAP" in animation is an acronym for "Multi Animator Project". If you see an animation video with MAP in the title it simply means that the video was made in a collaboration between several animators, it is in no way related to pedophiles or pedophilia. We need to stop calling pedophiles MAPs both to stop giving them an "innocent" sounding title and to stop hurting the animators who are simply trying to keep their titles short and simple.

@sanityshorror @sobertober6969 thought you two would want to share this with your followers
reblog to add +10 haunting power to your ghost when you die
I don't know how to explain it but there's something about Subcon that sparks my brain. Like I get so many ideas and stuff off of it. The other chapters don't really do that, at least not to the extent that Subcon does. The lore, I think! And the cut content from it is also interesting. The other chapters are cool and awesome and amazing, don't get me wrong, I love them too! But Subcon will probably always be my favorite.
Alright, I was bickering with my sister and I told her I'd make a poll in an attempt to settle it, so...
So if some of you didn't know, I used to have super curly hair. But when I finally cut it, I lost my curls. But I'm finally getting them back now! Yippee!!!
:D
sometimes, you think you're making a character playlist for a character you're voicing and you realized you're accidentally characterizing them as a hurt nonbinary disaster bisexual who just wants love and maybe to create the world's best adblocker while also dealing with these maniacs who keep interrupting her work but also have good baked goods

Two and a half nickels :D

I would like to say, this is SO COOL!!! And though it's not a canon design, at first glance it absolutely could definitely pass as one. And I super appreciate this!!!
Astra has multiple canon forms, and though this wasn't the first thing that came to mind, it's gonna be difficult to imagine much else when I think of this character. And I cannot express enough how much I absolutely love this! Thank you!!! :D
Hey you guys should watch this bcus I voice in it!!! This is my interpretation of one of the characters but not the official design cus there isn't really one I don't think lol https://youtu.be/u9wEiORrBwY?feature=shared
