Hello, KimuraSato here. Anyone from the Danny Phantom fandom may or may not remember me, but I used to write a lot for the fandom, and I decided to pick up on writing for it again. Sidebar image of my OC Abner Faust was drawn by the awesome akiwitch~

“Any interesting cases?” Chloe pushed around her salad, making sure the dressing got well mixed. Noah shook their head and dipped a cheesy bread stick into the marinara sauce. “Nothing that needs you to look at it. I’m pretty sure the antique doll,” their mouth twitched in amusement as Chloe made a face, “wasn’t actually cursed or possessed. It was creepy as hell though.” “All those kinds of dolls are creepy,” Chloe muttered dryly as she stabbed at her salad with her fork.

I saw a very blunt Instagram comment today that told a writer, "AI is going to steal your job soon. You may want to choose something else." It was so nonchalant and casual, like what was just said wasn't heartbreaking to hear.

Can we writers just make a pact just to... not quit? Can we not give in so easily? Can we actually fight to keep our professions and continue to share our own original work? I will never expect writing to be my main source of income, but that does not mean I'm so willing to give it up for the sake of some robot.

Rewrite Game

Tagged by @akiwitch! You're awesome! Thank you!

Rules: rewrite the last line of the person who tagged you however you want, then give your last line for other people to try!

My line:

The icy fear already working through his chest became a living thing, lashing against the inside of his ribs.

Rewrite:

The icy fear wiggled its way through his chest, thrashing about his ribs like a terrifying living thing.

My line:

Staying up late last night trying to decipher those pages was not looking like the best idea with the headache still pressing behind her eyeballs.

Open tag to whomever feels like participating!

Happy STS! What is part of your writing process you used to dislike but now enjoy?

That, hm, that's a hard one. Definitely not editing. XD I still groan and whine every time I think about having to edit. And going back to take notes always feels so draining. (And, wow, I have been failing hard at do that lately. I really need to sit down and do that, but I keep putting it off.)

Maybe rewriting? Once I finally figured out how to let go of a first draft. XD And I'm glad I did because I finally nailed a version of one story that I really liked, which really helped with the stories to followed after it.

I made a little thing for my friend @akiwitch about the amazing story that they are working on! It caught me from the very first image and has been on my mind since!

Silver twists and rosemary twigs,

Keep the Shadows at bay.

Or else upon the pure white snow,

The crimson blood will lay.

Grab the lanterns, hold them close,

The winter nights are long.

Too many dangers ride the dark

So keep your courage strong.

Stay out of forests dark and deep,

Where secrets hide and grow.

And devious Shadows lie in wait

For those who leave the glow.

Two hearts drawn close against all odds

Start blooming with love's light.

But will they or the Shadows win,

As they stand against the night.

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

  • We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 
  • We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.
  • To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 
  • For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 
  • Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

kind of funny how they knew what the reaction of this would be so the first thing they're saying about it is: here's how to opt out

Quick guide for mobile users

Be aware you need to do this separately for every blog if you have multiple

This is from Brynn's story (I really need to think up some titles. I've got like 3 stories now without titles).

Brynn breathed out slowly and leaned her head back against the wall with a quiet thump. She wished she could just forget everything that happened. Her hand found her necklace, rolling the beads between her fingers. They were silent. For the moment, she remained safe. After a couple of quiet minutes, she stood and walked over to the window. She parted the curtains, letting in the morning light. Townsfolk were already up and moving about, their voices reaching her as they stopped to chat in the street. Letting the curtains fall closed again, she moved to wake Ellie.
