The adventures of Goth Duck

“Colour is the key. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano with its many chords. The artist is the hand that, by touching this or that key, sets the soul vibrating automatically.” Check out the Wassily Kandinsky Merch Collection on shop.bauhaus-movement.com

Dear people planning to move to pillowfort:

As someone not involved in the development of pillowfort but am a web developer, I think you should lower your expectations, but not for the reason you think.

Pillowfort is a baby. A newborn. A smol bab. If you were here during the early days of Tumblr, think of that. 

Pillowfort simply cannot be the immediate solution to your woes. It needs to be nurtured and cared for to become a mature and happy adult. 

If you want Pillowfort to work, they’ll need feedback, advice, bug reports, etc. This is a chance to make Pillowfort the Ao3 of Fanfiction.net. It’s not gonna happen overnight, you need to give it time and love and it’ll get there. 

If you don’t want to pay money to get into the beta, that’s ok. It will be open to the public soon enough and you won’t have to pay a dime. Their financial model moving forward sounds good (a subscription fee for super extra features), but even an Ao3 model would work swell for them probably. 

We’re living in an interesting time on the internet. Governments across the world are cracking down on content and yet community run websites are starting to thrive more and more. 

Tumblr once upon a time was what Pillowfort is today, but this time, let’s make sure Pillowfort can stay independent from mega corporations. 

It sounds like I’m getting my key tonight or tomorrow. It looks pretty decent but clearly it needs more content and there will be some things needing fixing. That isn’t going to happen if no one tries it out.

Pillowfort is back!!

hanks to all of you who were so patient and understanding as we worked on these updates the last few days. If you only just heard about the site during our hiatus, you can now check out our FAQ to learn all about us! (Note, however, that the site is currently getting about 15 times the usual amount of traffic, so you may still have some problems accessing it).

As for invitations, we are going to wait a little bit before sending them out– we want to make sure there aren’t any bugs resulting from the many changes we made to the site over the last few days, and wait until traffic hopefully mellows a bit. We will let you know when we do start sending out invitations, though because we have thousands to send out we will likely send them over the course of a couple days. Thanks for your patience!

Harpea’s Cave, Navarra, Spain

Oh sure, when nature draws a perfectly triangular cave it’s “a syncline-anticline fold” and “used by shepherds as a shelter since ancient times, but when I do it suddenly it’s “bad worldbuilding.”

There’s a quote that I can’t remember well enough to do a search to find, but paraphrased it’s this: Writers have a more difficult job than God because God is under no requirements to make their work believable.
