I love how, despite Luffy consistently being the most popular character, we as a fandom go through great pains to avoid writing from his POV. If you check any other fandom on ao3, you'll find that most fics were written from the favorite character POV, or at least include it. But not One Piece. We've collectively decided that the mindset of this dumbass who literally blurts out his every thought is a bit too hard to get into. His inner voice is the same as his outer voice, but making him the narrator is the stuff of nightmares. Luffy goes through 1000 chapters with his every thought and motive out in the open, and you would think that would make it easier but no. He's one of the most straightforward characters I've ever seen, and trying to think from his perspective is like looking at everything a bit sideways. Man just doesn't make sense, and it doesn't even matter that, canonically, his head is empty. It just makes the situation even funnier.

cannot stress enough that his onscreen acts so far have been in no particular order: flipping kidd off, threatening to murder kidd for bossing him around, juggling a disembodied head around for way longer than necessary, act like a complete freak while asking drake how many people he's killed, breaking multiple laws by recruiting an escaped slave onto his crew, have bepo finish a fight he got bored with, and watching luffy cause an international incident with the manic smile of someone obviously smacked on the highest quality shit he could find on sabaody archipelago. unambiguously and undeniably, he is the people's princess.

AU: Kuina lived and her father was supportive of her ambition. He sent her to Wano to learn the way of the swords so they meet again when Zoro arrived at Wano.

I just rlly wanted to design a giant Kuina after seeing how big Kiku is :)))

a comic about wine, a wager, and reconnecting through your weird kids

this behemoth of a comic and finally done - and just in time for zoros birthday huehue. initially i wanted to make a zolu introspective from an outsider POV and was like you know who would have really funny input on this … mihawk. and then it spiraled into seven pages of mishanks sitting and talking. i thought it would be funny if mishanks ended up doing self imposed couples therapy the day mihawk brought luffys bounty bc well. its kind of hilarious to think abt mihawk realizing shanks was onto something all those years ago after he meets zoro and luffy. like sure this new generation is batshit crazy but my god are they cooking. anyways. cheers. get some kids

bad guys/good guys

#leverage #best description ever #I love that no matter the good they do they're still the bad guys

[ladybirdcarina]

that one zoro screencap where he's just staring dreamily at luffy. how is that real. he enamored. he's swooning. luffy is getting in a fight with a giant WHALE (so the whale has something to look forward too & exits a depressive spiral) and zoro is looking at him like THAT. oda I am metaphorically shaking u by the collar why did u do that

Hizashi: Sho, what are you writing?

Shouta: The hero commision wants to know what kind of weapons I have here in our house. I'm letting them know thats private information

Hizashi, looking over Shouta's shoulder: This just says "fuck around and find out" in calligraphy

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:

(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.

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.

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.

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!
