Spread - Blog Posts
It’s with a very heavy heart that I’m asking for help and kindness from anyone that is able. My niece Luna passed away this past weekend at less than 2 months old. We are raising money to help support her family through this tragedy. Please, anything you can do to help Jenn fly her daughter home to be laid to rest will benefit greatly.
It's your lucky day! I have been motivated to post and you guys get two post this month, shocker I know.
I have somehow gotten dragged into the TMNT fandom again and decided to do a Rottmnt Leo spread!
And in case you missed it, I drew Donnie from two different Au's that I recently got invested in.
Top one is Swanatello by @tangledinink , which is an au where Donnie gets magical girl-ified! :D
Bottom one is from the fanfic Open your shell to find your wings by @onejellyfishplease , where Donnie gets double mutated! :0
I hope I've done both of these creators justice, and please go check them out and give their AUs some love!
Yunno how I said I'd be posting more regularly? Uh yeah, I lied. BUT! I have something to post now!
I present to u, Alastor and Lucifer spreads! :D
Reblog to spread the word
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!
My greatest fear is growing old without you.
Hello, I am from Gaza, due to the shortage of medicine in Gaza, my mother who is a type 1 diabetic and was supposed to undergo urgent eye surgery, has not been able to get insulin or any medical care for the past three months. . Some members of my family fled to the southernmost part of Gaza (Rafah) in tents. But my parents and sisters have nowhere else to stay. They are forced to stay in the Nuseirat refugee camp, which has been bombed since the beginning of Christmas. "I am on my knees asking for your donations. Please help me. where you can.
Goal: $700
I’m unable to donate unfortunately but i will try my best to bring attention to it, thank you for letting me know
PLEASE donate to them if you can, even if it’s 5 dollars it’ll help
Hey Twsties, wanna do a charity drive?
I want to but I've never done anything like this before ever, so I'm going to need some help first before we get started so I'm looking for co-mods to help me organise and plan things!!
Um, but what will this be FOR?
It's gonna be for the people of Palestine!! They've been suffering under relentless bombing from Israel and I didn't want to just sit by and do nothing. This event will only be on a small scale though as it will only be fandom-wide, but every bit of help counts!!!
I don't want to be a mod, but I want to help!
You'll have plenty of opportunities later when we open up applications for artists and writers to contribute charity art and fics and by, of course, donating! You can also help by reblogging this post and spreading it around for people who might be interested in helping!!
Wait, what's going on in Palestine exactly?
Here are some links that you can refer to if you're uninformed! Educate yourself and spread the word! Just doing that helps a ton!
A collection of resources about Palestine
Infographic explaining the settler colonialism and ethnic cleansing going on in Palestine.
Oh look, here's another!
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! I DID have a more wordy version of this post, but the longer it got the more insecure I got so I'll just edit this one if important questions come up.
Dear friend, ❤️
I never imagined I would be reaching out like this. My family and I have lost everything — our home, safety, and sense of normalcy. Now, we’re living in a tent, struggling every day to meet even our most basic needs.
If you’re in a position to help, your support for my fundraising campaign would mean more than words can say. Together, we can take steps toward a safe and secure future.
With all gratitude,
Abdelhadi 🇵🇸❤️
Spreading this to popular tags!!!
I will be spreading this message! :D
I’ve been sent to spread the message that the tubblings are running a campaign to get tubbo some votes for the streamer awards and we’re trying to reach out to different communities. Basically we’d like your help spreading the word if that’s okay?
of course!! Spread the message guys!!! :D
Oh, by the way!
Here are my two pages for @untoldstoriescwzine :) I guessed I made myself wait on this one but I felt like it was more excited to let the mystery last a little longer ;)
My take on the Untold Story is that Maul and Savage deserved more screen time together and thus I decided to create a small exchange over Maul preparing his revenge on Obi-Wan during his (short) time of ruling Mandalore. And, of course, that included reminding people of Feral and Savage having trouble remembering his life pre-transformation but still having remnants of feelings he had felt once.
Yes, it’s angst, my bad.
Remember to check out the leftover sales btw !!
THERE IS GONNA BE A FUCKING MINECRAFT MOVIE IN 2019 FUCK
