REVERSE TROPE WRITING PROMPTS

He’s so cool

Why Vox needs to GET THE FUCK OVER THE RADIO DEMON:

(By Velvette, the only competent of the Vees)

1. He’s just not into you

2. We have better things to do than allocate company time to this.

3. He makes you look stupid

4. He makes US look stupid

5. What do you even see in him? Tacky coat. And that voice is so old-school.

6. You have two people who (reluctantly) want to work with you. Why spend energy on a guy who doesn’t?

7. This was seven years ago babe. Give it up.

Bidding is now closed!

The closing scripts are running, but remember that it will take some time to close all 1000+ auctions! Even if a bidding form is still open, bids with a timestamp after 8:00:05pm EST will not be considered valid.

More fun behind-the-scenes stuff is underway. We'll be sending high bid emails out within the next 24 hours, so please sit tight.

In the meantime, many of the stalls in the Fan Crafts Bazaar are still open! Be sure to check the details on each individual stall, though, because some of them did end when the main auction did.

Two hours left!

A few reminders as we head into what is often the most heated bidding-war time:

ONE HOUR LEFT!! Get those last bids in!

Announcing: The Closure of Suibian Subs

It's never truly easy to make these type of announcements... but what would I know, I've never had to make one like this before:

I am announcing the permanent closure of Suibian Subs. The public discord server and translation work will cease.

As for our downloads, we are still deciding whether to offer them on our tumblr - which will stay open - or if there is a better solution going forward.

Please note that this doesn't mean everyone should race to upload MDZS audio drama to Youtube!! We still do not appreciate our wishes being broken.

However, if you have a friend who's downloaded the audio drama, you can have them share with you privately either online or in person. Do not upload it for the public anywhere.

Treasure Chest subs is currently working on MDZS audio drama subs. Please find their information to get access to their downloads, and respect their rules.

Thank you everyone for your kind words and support these 6-7 years.

If you're truly wondering, this closing is not about the server hack. It's 10% server hack and 90% member interest. The server being hacked is what really brought things into perspective for us. That is:

It's just time.

A little note from kittykat2010 down below:

Fandom: God there’s like NO content anymore. I wish we could get more art and fanfics :(((

Someone: Hey, I can’t draw anything digitally, because I can’t afford a tablet, but here’s a pen on paper drawing that I spent a lot of time and hard work on. Also, I took a shot at my first fanfic and I’d really like some feedback or at least some kudos if you enjoyed it :)

Fandom: Oh... yeah sorry no... not you. We actually meant writers that are already well known and popular to produce MORE content... I mean, if a popular blog shares your work then maybe. And we don’t really like pen to paper art. We just don’t think it’s professional or even looks good :/

This is why I try to reblog things that have little notes - the fandom NEEDS new people, or it dies, but the OLD people are there to support the new creators! New creators will leave and forget if the fandom doesn't welcome them, because they feel left out. We should remember that all great artists and writers, even the famous ones in big name fandoms, they all started from nothing.

If you don't want a fandom to die feed the sparks that come anew, don't blow on the old burnt ashes hoping they'll start again.

REBLOG STUFF IN GENERAL!!!

also please do not demand "content." Fandom does not consist of content-making machines.

It is a community.

Participate.

Fandom is conversation, not consumption.

i've made friends with people who commented! they left nice comments i could really respond to and it sparked conversations! you don't have to create to make friends. just participate! engage! talk to each other (kindly! with no demands!)

Discord Server Hack - it's gone. For now.

Yes, our Discord server was hacked. The entire server was deleted, channel by channel.

The culprit also spammed an extremely rude image. Apologies for those who saw that travesty.

For now, we do not have a timeline for what will happen next. If there's a way to get a backup, great. If not, we may start a new server. I will continue to report here on what's up.

Can you hear my heartbeat?   You set my heart on fire!

It’s been 7 years since I last drew them … 

The full comic is finally over!!! Thank you for following it ~
