Been seeing a few tiktoks on writerstok recently saying Google are freezing people out their documents if there is smut involved and it's shared with anyone else (such as you might with a friend or beta reader) and there is no consensus whether it's because of the other person reporting or the more suspected that Google are reading what you write and freezing it because of the content

I don't write smut but this might be useful to people

[altegos]

I really want to write something over here

What should I do?

[altegos]

I made good progress on my prop today

I am really proud of what I've achieved so far

[altegos]

So after several months break I am coming back to Not As You Know Them and am working on the next update for both the main plotline and the spin offs!

What started as a fun little project to get me writing more all the way back in 2018 has grown and become something I am super proud of even now.

If you want to check out the over 200,000 words (across multiple fics) I've written towards this AU you can find the whole lot over here:

The fics are chronological in time order.

You can find the recommended reading over here

Not As You Know Them: Recommended Reading Order

Please note this is a simply a recommendation to help things make the most sense, but whatever order you read it in (within reason) should be alright.

Titles link to the fic on AO3 - the numbers link to the relative post on Tumblr.

Surviving Five Nights -Something foul is going on at Freddy Fazbear’s. With creepy worn, old animatronics wandering around at night, something sinister creeping down the hall, and more questions cropping up with each passing night, maybe Yan should have considered getting another job.

Night 1 - Night 2 -  Night 3 - Night 4 - Night 5 - Day Shift Night 6: Yan - Night 6: Rowan -  Custom Night - Bad Ending

Hellhound and Humanoids - After the fire at Fazbear’s, Yan and a recently wiped Rowan wind up at an old mansion looking for stuff to sell so they can keep the car running. But the building and the beings inside will make their mission far from an easy one.

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4  - Part 5 - Part 6 - Part 7 - Part 8

01 - 02 - 03 - 04 - 05 - 06 - 07

Season One: Not As You Know Them -Dark found them, he’s brought them together under one roof, he’s offered them all the same protection from some unknown threat. But they’re all strange, unique people and other troubles are not far behind. How long can Dark really keep them safe?

Escape the Motherloving Nightmare - Stuck inside a deady game, Madpat and Natemare are fighting against some unknown opponent. Throw in a long estranged brother and an easily distracted drunken detective, how will they ever see who’s really in control?

This is your early morning PSA to support artists. And I don’t mean only monetarily. I mean reblog shit. Ramble in the tags how much you like it if so compelled. But artists will only continue posting while there is support.

And I want to make it entirely clear that I do mean post. Because what is gonna happen is that they will continue to create, but it will just be shown to their friends that they made within the community. If you want to continue to see things from an artist, tell them as much. We have seen fandoms and communities die, because there was no more support for the artists that are the backbone for them.

Reblog your favorite fanfics. Reblog your favorite artists. Write them a nice comment. Tell them how you like their art style or how they write a certain character. Artists will continue to create because we continue to enjoy it. We continue share it because we want to spread something we’re proud of and we think others will to.

I’ve seen too many of my artist friends recently saying it’s not worth it to post anymore because there’s no point. No one acknowledges it. Yet I continue to see it before they post and support them. So they privatize their audience.

Support artists if you want them to stick around. For fuck’s sake.

#little to no support has a near direct consequence of no motivation to create #that's a big part of why I've had a near two year hiatus personally

NAYKT: Season 2 - update 3

Tag list: @mightnightmooon @thelittleautisticgirl

Like or reblog >>this post<< to be added to the tag list

“So what if we introduced a determination factor?”

“Not unless you want to blue-screen again.” Mad points to Google’s screen, tapping at a section of code, “It’d create an overload of unprocessable data.” he drags his finger down to a later part in the code, “But if you shifted it over here, changed it to an interpretation instead you would…”

Mad tapers off, but Google barely notices, staring at the code as he starts to see what Mad is trying to suggest.

“Process instead of pre-empt. Of course. And this would-?” Google stops as Mad nudges at his shoulder. Mad’s looking behind them and the droid turns to follow his gaze.

The door to the lab is open and in the doorway stands a weary-looking Bing. He’s slightly taller than when he left, maybe half-an-inch, and a darn sight scruffier. His hair has grown; Google isn’t sure he likes it. The most notable thing though is the look of shock on his face as he stares at the droid sitting at Google’s workstation, and the madman stood beside him.

“You should go.” Google doesn’t even turn to Mad as he speaks.

Mad doesn’t hesitate, quickly grabbing his jacket from the floor and  throwing it around his shoulders as he heads for the door. Bing takes a few steps forward to let the guy leave but otherwise just stands, staring at Google.

Google hasn’t forgotten what happened. He remembers with crystal clear clarity every one of Mad’s sins against them. He knows what Mad did to them, to Bing, and he has by no means forgiven him. He also knows exactly how this probably looks to the cyborg.

“I wanted to tell you,” Google starts, “I wasn’t sure e-mail was the right way to-”

“It’s fine.” Bing’s words are clipped, his voice tense as he glances away avoiding eye contact. Indication of deception. It’s not fine.

Silence falls between them. It’s been a while since they were in the same room and the air is heavy with awkward tension. With his old processor it would have been easy for Google to ignore it, mostly because he wouldn’t have noticed it, but now he understands the nuance of the discomfort between them; the unspoken anger and feelings of betrayal about Google lying by omission about Mad. It’s not pleasant, and Google doesn’t plan to let it go on any longer than he has to.

The droid stands, heading to Oliver’s workstation and pulling something from a drawer before he strides back towards Bing. The cyborg merely watches in confusion, even as Google stops and holds out a very familiar pair of orange sunglasses.

“What…?”

Google says nothing, patiently waiting as Bing carefully reaches out and takes them.

“You fixed them.” There’s surprise in his voice.

“We improved them.”

They’d found the glasses a few hours after Bing ‘woke up’ again. Snapped in half and abandoned on the floor. Bing had made some off-handed comment about having to get a new pair, but ultimately tried to throw them out. Naturally the Googles weren’t going to stand for that. 

Fixing them was obvious and relatively easy, reinforcing the repaired frames with flexible titanium would stop them being snapped again. The rest of the upgrade was Oliver’s idea and took significantly longer.

Bing turns them over in his hand. “They look the same.”

“Try them on.”

Bing opens them and puts them on, wincing as a bright orange light flashes in his eyes from the lenses.

“Ow!”

Each Google receives a message instantly, and if they’ve done it correctly, the message should be on Bing’s glasses lenses too.

[NEW USER IDENTIFIED]

[WELCOME BING]

[OLIVER] He’s back!

[RED] You finally gave him the glasses then?

[OLIVER] Does he like them? He’s not mad is he?

Bing tears the glasses from his face triggering a [BING IS OFFLINE] message to the Googles. The cyborg stares at the glasses in his hand before looking up at Google in astonishment. “What was-?”

“It’s connected to our network.” Google nods. “Partially anyway. There’s only so much we could manage in a pair of sunglasses. You can see status updates and send and receive messages.”

Bing looks baffled, “Why are you adding me to your network?”

“Well you are our brother.”

Google says it as though it’s the most obvious thing in the world because to him it is. There has been so much madness in the last year but through it all he’s realised that even when he lacked the processing power to truly comprehend it, Bing means no less to the Googles than any one of their brothers. Bing may not be a droid, but he is as much a Google as the rest of them and including him seemed so obvious once the idea had been pitched.

That’s to say nothing of the cyborg’s tendency to wind up in some sort of trouble or other. At the very least, Bing being able to connect to the network would make it easier to figure out when he needed help. No more waiting three days for Google to check the CCTV.

Bing stares at the glasses in his hands, speechless. This isn’t something he ever even thought of, never mind hoped or dreamed of. It almost doesn’t seem real. As he looks up at Google, a warm smile on the droid’s face, Bing’s shoulders relax and he surges forward, tightly wrapping his arms around his older brother in a hug.

“Thanks Goog.”

Google smiles, gently patting Bing on the head. After a moment he chuckles.

“Can you put the glasses on again? Oliver’s worried you fainted.”

Bing laughs.

It’s good to be home.

#reblogging this since I'm working on the next part currently

[altegos]

So I find myself drawn back here again in an attempt to reignite my passion in near anything and I find that despite my certainty I would be lost to ethos, I haven't been forgotten

At least if the multiple tags are an indication of anything

[altegos]

Been listening to my Mad playlist today so guess who's drifted back over here again

[altegos]

i think when some of you say "neurodivergent" you just mean adhd and autism

[altegos]

To that last post i reblogged

I have a fic i wrote that i am so afraid of backlash from i made an entite new ao3 account and have posted it nowhere on tumblr

[altegos]

I just saw a Tik Tok that said writers on AO3 are not looking for constructive criticism in their reviews. I have no audience on this platform so I have to know if this is true? I've always left my pros and cons when reading a fic and now I'm concerned that the authors didn't like that.

Yeah writers are Not looking for criticism, constructive or otherwise. Unless they specifically ask for it, it’s considered rude and honestly a bit hurtful. In the least bitchy way possible, don’t do that. It’s unwanted.

#; writing

[altegos]

I have some cool plans coming up in NAYKT and I just want it written already!

Why do I have to write it?!

Maybe I need to try smaller goals

Or maybe noting don my plans in an order

Ooh that sounds like it might be good

[altegos]

Bing and Mad

Enemies to friends

I need it now
