Hey do you still write fics
Hi!
Other than very occasionally (like, once a year for an exchange), I don’t no. I still get fic ideas sometimes but I haven’t had the energy or time to even think about writing any of them down. Hopefully that changes sometime. Maybe in 2019!
I will say though, I’m assuming you’re here from my MCU fics, and I doubt I’d write much more in that fandom. You’re always welcome to send a prompt just in case the mood strikes me, but it’s unlikely.
“The female writers, for whatever reason (men?), don’t much believe in heroes, which makes their kind of storytelling perhaps a better fit for these cynical times. Their books are light on gunplay, heavy on emotional violence. Murder is de rigueur in the genre, so people die at the hands of others—lovers, neighbors, obsessive strangers—but the body counts tend to be on the low side. “I write about murder,” Tana French once said, “because it’s one of the great mysteries of the human heart: How can one human being deliberately take another one’s life away?” Sometimes, in the work of French and others, the lethal blow comes so quietly that it seems almost inadvertent, a thing that in the course of daily life just happens. Death, in these women’s books, is often chillingly casual, and unnervingly intimate. As a character in Alex Marwood’s brilliant new novel, The Darkest Secret, muses: “They’re not always creeping around with knives in dark alleyways. Most of them kill you from the inside out.””

I actually got chills reading this article, because this is someone who gets it. I mean, “The female writers, for whatever reason (men?), don’t much believe in heroes.”
“Most of them kill you from the inside out.”

Do Not Repost
This time of year can be frustrating for people in the aro/ace community.
I will be here, whenever you need to talk.
transcription under the cut:
There is a site called Gramunion that takes every single image posted to every single blog on this website and reposts it to its website, removing the original context of the images, including artist’s notes, requests to not repost artwork, and so on. The website does this as a way of “helping” you “Browse Any Tumblr Blog In a Structured Way!” (to quote their website).
We can all agree that this is garbage, right?
As a result of this website’s existence, I’m seeing more artwork posted to Pinterest and other websites, using Gramunion as the source.
I’d like to see if something can be done. Because no matter how many DMCA takedown notices I send to Pinterest, there will always be idiots who get my artwork again and again from Gramunion. I don’t want that, I’m pretty sure no-one else wants that for their artwork, so what can we do?
I think using this guide here we can send DMCA takedown notices to the website to get our art taken down. Here’s what the website says:
Let’s assume “Phil” sees his 1,500-word blog post republished on a forum. His first step would be to issue a DMCA takedown notice to the DMCA agent of the forum letting them know of the infringement. If the forum does not take down the content, Phil would look up the hosting service for the site using a “Who Is” domain search, and serve a takedown notice on that company as well. Finally, Phil would serve notices on Google, Yahoo, and Bing. If all parties comply with the notice, the offending page would be removed by the host and delisted in the search engines.
The website also provides an easy-to-use template for sending a takedown notice. Seriously, it’ll take you about two minutes to fill out, if that.
I sent a DMCA takedown to Gramunion itself first. I tried looking up the “Who Is” stuff for the site, and it led to a site called “Name.com,” which would be the next stop if Gramunion refuses to respond to my request. (I sent Gramunion an email already last week, and they refused to respond.) I’ll keep you posted on how this goes.
If you’re serious about keeping people from stealing your artwork, then I highly recommend you join me in sending takedown notices to this website. Maybe we can eventually get it shut down.
Accdg. to https://www.hostingchecker.com/#gramunion.com, the hosting service of Gramunion is actually Cloudflare. Try to send your DMCA takedown notices in https://www.cloudflare.com/abuse/form
So I checked Gramunion and it’s kind of uncomfortable. First of all, they have no permission whatsoever to repost Tumblr content. I searched if Gramunion is associated with Tumblr, there is none. Gramunion is only powered by Tumblr or in layman’s terms, they’re using a Tumblr theme.
Whatever the text is below the image (for example, link to the artist’s official website, support patreon, etc.) is cut out, allowing their art to be spread in other websites without actual credit to the artist.
Check if your art is in there and report if you must. Warn your favorite artists too if they don’t like their works reposted (unless they sign/watermark their works, but even that can be cropped out).
I already reported it in Tumblr (which you can do too, https://www.tumblr.com/support). But it would be nice to give them a heads up that one of the blogs using their themes are screwing with Tumblr artists and calling it “helping”.
Take this atrocity down, one report/reblog at a time.
This isn’t just art guys, it’s literally ANY photo you’ve put on tumblr is reposted there content free. Stop these guys
both my blogs are there.
Yup, every photo, including personal photos of me. I’m reporting this shit.
Interesting… Samurai Troopers Fanzine tumblr account content is there as well…
Everyone’s stuff is there. Jesus…
just being entirely reasonable
This has been a bad year for me, can I please restart it. I don’t know how much more I am going to be out of work because of my leg (I’ve been out of work because of other things, too, like personal sickness and my mother’s sickness and then eventual death ha ha ha *breaksdown again*). And yes, while the injury did happen at work, it was me walking and then my knee/leg simply deciding to give out on me to horribly disgusting terrible results. I’m putting the next bit under a strikethrough because I hate, hate asking this, but I can’t help but have to do it. If you can spare a bit, my paypal address is songofvarda@gmail.com. Please feel free to share this post, as well. Ughhh, and also, thank you so very much
