Not to brag, but I may have literally saved a life by commenting. Comments are important, folks!
want your favorite author to update but don’t want to be too pushy in their comment section?
here’s 5 things you can do to encourage them:
Reblog their fic link on tumblr (bonus if it’s with tags)
Bookmark the fic with a note about what you’re excited about/love in the fic
Recommend the fic to your friends or local discord channel
Draw art or create other media for the fic (as indicated by the author’s comfort level)
Leave them a comment when re-reading about the parts of the chapter/story that stood out to you the second time

"Operation 'Use the really excitable housewarden to make sure my newly acquired academic rival properly rests' is a rousing success. Hopefully I won't need to ask Jade or Floyd for reinforcement." - Azul, probably.
Also known as "not enough people reacted to Riddle's hair color change".
Also also known as "we need more of the second years housewardens"
A bit experimental with the coloring and lineart, featuring suddenly blessing the white pen I cursed in the past (guess who colored Riddle's hair red at first?). Alcohol-based markers + fine pens.

GET KOSA TRENDING.
STOP SCROLLING NOW!
AS OF FEBRUARY 21ST, 2024, WE GOT FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE DAY OF DECISION OF THE KOSA BILL, WHICH WILL CAUSE MASS CENSORSHIP ROUND THE INTERNET IF PASSED. OR DOOMSDAY. WE NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS AND CONTRIBUTE. I'M NOT GIVING UP ON YOU ALL.
WE'RE DOWN TO THE WIRE BUT WE CAN'T GIVE UP YET. IF WE GIVE UP, EVERYTHING IS OVER. IF WE DON'T, AT LEAST WE HAVE A CHANCE.
I'M THE ONE WHO SOUNDED THE ALARM, AND I'M NOT GOING TO CURL UP AND DIE YET.
Reblog this post in every LEGAL way you can under the Tumblr guidelines with the appropriate tags. TELL AND TAG EVERYONE YOU KNOW, then add the tags to see below... and more if you can think of any complying.
Visit badinternetbills.com if you want to find a way to defeat KOSA. It WILL NOT take much of your time. Reblog with any other information or sources, too-- but make sure to reblog if you can.
Reblog if you support lgbtq+ content.
Reblog if you support questioning queer youth and/or abused youth getting the information they need.
Reblog if you support Ao3 and/or other sites that wholeheartedly preserve talentedly made media.
Reblog if you're going to repost this on other sites than Tumblr and spread the word across Twitter, Tik Tok, Pinterest, or elsewhere, alongside the link to badinternetbills.com.
Reblog if you think KOSA is unfair and shouldn't be anyone's problem -- including the adults ALL OVER THE DAMN EARTH forced to face the mass censorship it causes because "think of the American Children!".
Reblog if you support internet activism and Palestine.
Reblog if you hate fascism or censorship, and don't want actually serious and helpful conversations censored on the internet.
Reblog if you value the internet in any way at all whatsoever.
We won't let this stand any longer. Let's start a riot and get this trending.

Fanfiction Authors: HEADS UP
(Non-authors, please RB to signal boost to your author friends!)
An astute reader informed me this morning that one of my fics (Children of the Future Age) had been pirated and was being sold as a novel on Amazon:
Tumblr media
(And they weren't even creative with their cover design. If you're going to pirate something that I spent a full year of my life writing, at least give me a pretty screenshot to brag about later. Seriously.)
I promptly filed a DMCA complaint to have it removed, but I checked out the company that put it up -- Plush Books -- and it looks like A LOT of their books are pirated fic. They are by no means the only ones doing this, either -- the fact that """publishers""" can download stories from AO3 in ebook format and then reupload them to Amazon in just a few clicks makes fic piracy a common problem. There are a whole host of reasons why letting this continue is bad -- including actual legal risk to fanfiction archives -- but basically:
IF YOU ARE A FANFIC AUTHOR WITH LONG AND/OR POPULAR WORKS, PLEASE CHECK AMAZON TO SEE IF YOUR STORIES HAVE BEEN PIRATED.
You can search for your fics by title, or by text from the description (which is often just copied wholesale from AO3 as well). If you find that someone has stolen your work and is selling it as their own, you can lodge a DMCA complaint (Amazon.com/USA site; other countries have different systems). If you haven't done this before, it's easy! Here's a tutorial:
HOW TO FILE A COPYRIGHT COMPLAINT FOR STOLEN WORK ON AMAZON.COM:
First, go to this form. You'll need to be signed into your Amazon account.
Select the radio buttons/dropdown options (shown below) to indicate that you are the legal Rights Owner, you have a copyright concern, and it is about a pirated product.
Enter the name of your story in the Name of Brand field.
In the Link to the Copyrighted Work box, enter a link to the story on AO3 or whatever site your work is posted on.
Tumblr media
In the Additional Information box, explain that you are the author of the work and it is being sold without your permission. That's all you really need. If you want, you can include additional information that might be helpful in establishing the validity of your claim, but you don't have to go into great detail. You can simply write something like this:
I am the author of this work, which is being sold by [publisher] without my permission. I originally published this story in [date/year] on [name of site], and have provided a link to the original above. On request, I can provide documentation proving that I am the owner of the account that originally posted this story.
Tumblr media
In the ASIN/ISBN-10 field, copy and paste the ID number from the pirated copy's URL. You'll find this ten-digit number in the Amazon URL after the word "product," as in the screenshot below. (If the URL extends beyond this number, you can ignore everything from the question mark on.) Once this number has been added, Amazon will pull the product information automatically and add it to the complaint form, so you can check the listing title and make sure it's correct.
Tumblr media
Finally, add your contact information to the relevant fields, check the "I have read and accept the statements" box, and then click Submit. You should receive an email confirmation that Amazon has received the form.
Please share this information with your writer friends, keep an eye out for/report pirated works, and help us keep fanfiction free and legally protected!
NOTE: All of the above also applies to Amazon products featuring stolen artwork, etc., so fan artists should check too!

@mintavia Isn't that LITERALLY how we met?
do you ever think about how sometimes it just... takes one random message? and suddenly you find yourself with a best friend or in constant conversation with someone who lives on the other side of the world but is just as much of a freak as you are or maybe you find yourself in love with someone without a last name but with so much kindness and affection in their words and presence. crazy how life and love and friendship just happen

We needed more of the Queendom trio together, so... here!
Tumblr media
Commentary and inspiration below the cut
Cheap pencils, two different black pens and a white gel pen, coupled with the difficult art of photo editing. At least the pale vibe of the coloring works well in this context ^^'
The inspiration is this, by the way:

(yup, another trio of childhood friends who's seen some tragedies)

Asexuality is an orientation in which a person does not experience sexual attraction to any sex and/or gender.

However they may still be able to experience other types of attraction, and desire relationships with other people.

"I am absolutely, positively right--beyond any shadow of a doubt!"
"I have to be! Otherwise, what was any of it for...?!"
Thank you Riddle for being the reason why I rediscovered how fun traditional artisting was. (Also for helping fighting that artblock)
Done using cheap markers, two different types of white gel pens, an old box of soft pastels and some sketch pencils.
WIPs under the cut!

Alearcryst Week Rules and Guidelines!
Tumblr media
Hello Alearcryst Fans!
The rules and general guidelines have been created for Alearcryst Week 2023, and are as follows:
Alear and Alcryst must be the featured characters in submissions, and interactions may be platonic or romantic in nature. Content for both genders of Alear is welcome!
Submissions can be made through mentioning @alearcrystweek (Twitter), @alearcrystweek2023 (Tumblr), or by using #alearcrystweek. If your content was posted on an outside website, leave a link and/or a preview image!
Prompts serve as suggestions and themes for a specific day, but content outside of the day's prompt is just as welcome!
You must tag any content warnings if they apply to your work. Please refer to Archive of Our Own's list of archive warnings for a baseline.
The inclusion of NSFW content shall be up to the community, and voting will take place through an inquiry form posted on the Alearcryst Week Twitter and Tumblr. The decision will be announced after the poll closes on Sat. Sept. 9th at 11:59pm UTC and rules will be updated accordingly.
First and foremost, this ruleset is here to provide a level of organization and create a space where participants can be comfortable and have fun "engaging" with the community. Thus, if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or even just want to say hi, feel free to ask questions here on this blog or on my main accounts (as linked in the pinned). Thank you all, and stay "cool"!
