when will people use the anon function to send passionate, homosexual anonymous love letters
They are just denying the truth
are gender nonconforming cishet girls actually mirroring lesbian experiences, behaviours, and fashion or are they just claiming surface level commonalities as their entire identity just so they can say absurd, borderline homophobic shit to lesbians like "i too have short hair and own a flannel, and I'm not a lesbian" "having a pet cat doesn't make you gay, i have a cat" "i'm that close with my best friend too and we're not in love with eachother" "i've never been boy crazy either" "it's called being a tomboy" "just cause she has a masculine job doesn't make her butch, I work with a lot of guys as well" "captain marvel is straight because she's basically me" "hashtag no makeup no skirts" "not a dyke"

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!

Your fears are valid and you should not let that stop you from being the wonderful, beautiful person you are
Your fears are valid and you should not be ashamed of it, no matter what anyone else says
YES
As a capricorn I want a women who doesn't beg me to save her. Who doesn't murk my still waters. Who sees my strength and depth without showing hesitation. Who understands my fear and anxiety are not on the surface but constantly circling under waiting to feed and I am no ones solution. I am not a mother. I have given enough life to these hoes.
23frogs are bitches and we don’t negotiate with terorrists.
