Spooky Gift exchange updates

I’m hosting a Halloween themed event to bring us some more content and build community in this fandom.

Since it’s a gift exchange, there are some  minimum requirements:

For writers:

1000 words fic. The rating can range from General to Explicit. 

No Tcest hater.

 If you are a minor, please mention it in the section “Do you have squicks, triggers and NOTPs?” This section has been created in the form to be sure that gifts don’t contain something that could make the giftee uncomfortable.

For artists:

1000 pixel wide. Color or black and white with shadowing is allowed. If you want to make a comic, at least three panels is required.

If you’re interested:  Sign-up here starting today!

Calendar:

10th August: Sign-ups close (hurry up if you want to participate)

13th August: Assignments sent out by mail.

1st October to 1st November: Gifts are due

You can post them here, on DA, IB or A03 with the tag: tmntspooky and don’t forget to include the giftee name.

I will guarantee you a gift in return if you create something. You’re welcome to create more than one present for your recipient, but you’re only expected to create one. You are also free to gift other people than the one you got matched with after you are done with your first assignment.  No need for it to be gory. It could be funny, sexy, angsty…there more than fifty shades of dark ;)It could also be about Fall or Halloween if horror doesn’t inspire you.

Any questions, ask me! If you need to drop out, please also drop me a line.

Show us your dark side and participate in the Spooky Gift exchange!

I know: we are still in July! But events take some time as creating work does. I’m hosting a Halloween themed event a little early to bring us some more content and build community in this fandom, because…it’s kind of lacking, actually?

Since it’s a gift exchange, I have to make some  Minimum Requirements:

For writers: 1000 words fic.  NO OCs except if its the OC of the person you are matched with. The rating can range from General to Explicit. No Tcest hater.

I’m offering emergency commissions!

Mom’s boyfriend (drunk jerk) threw mom out and his car was the only car in our use too. Mom is sick and she simply NEEDS a car. Sis and I don’t have driving licenses or a car. Mom lives in a small area where own car is A MUST! No public transportation! Sis and I are trying to gather money to get her a car.

So I’m offering commissions. Donations are also VERY welcome, no matter how small or big! You can donate to my paypal -> https://paypal.me/neining Rules are simple: - Bust pics only, includes lining and flat colors! - TMNT arts ONLY! (1987, 2003, 2014/2016 and 2018) - One character per art - SFW ONLY! What I won’t draw: - OCs - NSFW (for now) - 2012 tmnt. I’m not familiar with them. Sorry.

Price: 15 euros / 17USD.

Here’s example what you get:

Please, help us to help mom. Thank you all.

Reminding you all that I, too, am offering commissions to help sis to get money enough to get mom a car.

We are still in a need of money to get mom a car! Please, consider ordering commission from me or sis or donate!

I can draw something else too if you don’t want tmnt art! I forgot to mention this in my first post since my lame mind had forgotten all other things what I’m able to draw.

I can do: - Usagi - Dragon Ball Z - Dragon Age Inquisition (Bull and Dorian mainly) - Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9, 10, 12. - Characters from Sonic the Hedgehog - Original Devilman (no Crybaby!) - Some Pokémons if they are not too detailed - Cute chibi animals (not realistic tho!) - Inuyasha - Castlevania - Monsters / horror etc.

You can ask me via chat can I draw your idea (as long as it is simple bust art).

If your fandom is not listed here, send me a message via chat and ask if I know the series because I might have forgotten it.

If you want bigger and fancier work, I can do it, but it will cost more.

Literally every coin counts. Thank you!

Defamation and social media

           Given the current climate in many fandoms, I thought I would provide a little education on the subject of callouts, abusive and insulting language, and name calling.

           First of all, many people are throwing around terms without clearly understanding their meaning.  I will address here the current favorite phrase in many fandoms: ‘you’re a pedophile’. Writing about fictional underage characters, human or otherwise, is not pedophilia.  When you call someone that because of a story they’ve written (or art they’ve created), you are watering down a term that should only be used about someone who has committed the most egregious crimes against actual children.

           If you don’t believe that it’s all right for an adult to write fiction about underage characters engaging in sexual acts, then you should probably be attacking authors such as Stephen King, Judy Blume, Norma Klein, Madeleine L’Engle, David Levithan, Danielle Evans, Megan Abbot, Lindsay Hunter, and V.C. Andrews just to name a few.  These people certainly have a longer reach and great influence than a fanfiction writer.

           Secondly, before you start calling people names just because YOU don’t approve of their subject matter, you should really think hard about the legal ramifications of your actions.

           Libel and slander are both types of defamation. Libel is an untrue defamatory statement that is made in writing. Slander is an untrue defamatory statement that is spoken orally. The difference between defamation and slander is that a defamatory statement can be made in any medium.

           By “any medium”, that is inclusive of the internet. In many countries that is an actionable offense.  It means that the person you have called a ‘pedophile’ online can bring a civil suit against you. A libel or slander lawsuit seeks monetary damages for harm caused by the statement, such as pain and suffering, damage to the plaintiff’s reputation, lost wages or a loss of ability to earn a living, and personal emotional reactions such as shame, humiliation, and anxiety.

           So, you think that you’re ‘anonymous’ and that the person you have libeled can’t find you? Think again.  The social media site that you are hiding behind will comply with a court order to divulge your true name.  Being underage doesn’t make you ‘safe’ either.  A lawsuit can be filed against your primary guardians.

           Why do you think that social media sites immediately remove posts when they receive a claim that said post is libelous or hate filled?  They do it because they know that it is wrong.

           I can only hope that the people who need to read this actually do so.  Some of them are old enough to know better and the ones who don’t, or are quite young, should educate themselves before they find that they are in hot water.

           If you don’t like certain fandom content, then avoid it. Period.  Easiest thing in the world to do.  No, you do not get to push your opinions onto other people through strong-arm tactics.  You are solely responsible for your online experience, the rest of us are not required to modify ours just to suit you.

           My greatest hope is that we will all, someday soon, learn to be better to each other.

Well said!

Oh I would definitely pick him up...

This piece is absolutely stunning. Would be an interesting place to start an RP from.

I’d come to a screeching, brake squealing stop and back up to get him.
