Guys, I hate to do this.
Any of you who know me in any circle know that I'm a very professional, very private lady who hates any sort of disc horse breeds that might give me a headache. But this one is important, and my goal here is the integrity and reputation of artists.
For my credentials: I have been a part of five zines in the past. Two I moderated, and one I ran, created, laid out, printed, and shipped in its entirety.
So anyway:
HELLCHEER ZINE BULLSHIT
I joined Hellcheer and the Kindred Freaks Zine very late. Well, after sign ups, check-ins, etc. I saw it was happening in april-ish and shot a DM to the twitter to join. I did both a full art page and a cosplay page.
At the time, the server was quiet but kind. We got updates on the number of orders and books being made.
@Lawless is the runner of the Zine. They created and organized it. They are in charge of the main emails, the selling website, the orders, the shipping, and the funds. (To be clear, this level of sole responsibility is not ABNORMAL in a zine. And is not always an issue.)
@Valerie is the 'social media' mod. They are in charge of managing announcements and answering questions on Twitter and Tumblr. Please keep in mind: No one wants anything but a fast and easy recovery for both Lawless and their mother. Medical emergencies, heck—LIFE happens. It's always okay to put a hiatus on anything, even product with money, in order to take care of yourself and family. Every single contributor only wants them to be clear in what they need and how we can help.
So lets break down what's happening.
Back in May, Lawless went radio silent on the status of books and merch coming in. Another contributor and I, @Toguchin, start dming Lawless to make sure everything is on track. They come back after a week and apologize for being MIA, explaining that their mom got sick. We thank them for all their hard work and wish them and their mom well.
On July 15th, after contributors and customers inquire on delays to meeting the announced shipping deadline, Lawless makes a twitter post saying shipping has started and contributor copies will be happening. They proceeded to go MIA from the server discord and have been since.
The following week, contributors and customers discover that shipping HAS NOT started. Labels have been created and printed, but nothing appears to be in transit at all.
Toguchin and I started getting reached out to by customers worrying their packages are lost. We report this to the zine server to NO RESPONSE. Except @Ashlee, the discord mod who also has heard nothing.
July 20th to 22nd with customers complaining and theorizing a scam in mind; Toguchin and I propose that PDFs be given out to assure and apologize for delays.
We as a server discover a few things: 1. We cannot access the list of buyers at all in order to email apology zines because Lawless did not share the account information with anyone. 2. We cannot access the main email for the same reason. 3. Valerie, the social media mod, deleted discord and distanced themselves from the Hellcheer fandom and has not been checking the Twitter or tumblr, or discord notifications since May.
Ashlee and Ichikun contact Valerie to sign on.
I made a new email and said fuck it, we need to do something to assuage fears, let them send receipts to honor their zines. Valerie didn't know what to post or say or how to answer everyone, so I gave them a copy paste.
Still no words from Lawless but hoping for the best knowing the have a medical emergency, Ashlee and I begin answering the new email for PDFs, but cant help people change addresses or give them any update!!!
Throughout the weeks mods and contributors ping Lawless constantly asking if they need any help! Any help at all, answering emails, changing order addresses, heck a few of us ask if we can pick up the books and packages and ship stuff for them so they can hands off the project and take care of their mom. No response.
We send message after message saying if Lawless can share picture proof, that would be great cause scam theories and chargebacks are starting. BUT ALSO, we let Lawless know we and customers will ABSOLUTELY UNDERSTAND delays if they just communicate it. That if they post in server and on Twitter that shipping needs to wait a month or two, no one will mind. No responses.
July 31, Lawless makes a Twitter update with comments disabled that they are shipping ALL packages that monday with a picture of packages. They also call Valerie privately and tell the issue that USPS refuses to pick up shipments from Lawless has, and they can't leave their mothers side from the post office. They also claim they can only deliver ten packages at a time at the post when they go. *USPS has no such rules. Me and other mutuals who run shops have never had such a problem.
A week later, we realize that customers and our packages are still not in transit. Labels printed only. Most of us assume all packages are just label printed and sitting at Lawless' house.
We beg for updates from Valerie or Lawless. Valerie doubles down on Lawless old reasonings and also officially goes MIA until present day.
Throughout August, USA packages get delivered. A few more updates are made straight to Twitter and Tumblr with comments off. Radio silence in server.
As packages arrive, we all become aware from people's posts and pictures that random Stranger Things Art Stickers are included. No credit to any artist is given? No contributor is responsible for this art. These are suspected to be BOUGHT from Amazon. STOLEN arts amazon sellers resell in packs. NO contributor is okay with this!!! Valerie responds with no response at all.
Tumblr media
As of now:
No response to missing digital copies. Ashlee and I cannot give out any without receipts because we have no access to buyers list. Nor can we answer missing packages inquiries cause we have no info. International packages unaccounted for. SCRUNCHIES FREE OR OTHERWISE UNACCOUNTED FOR. Zero word on contributor copies. Zero word on donation status. Zero word on generated profit or book and shipping cost. No way to verify funds at all. No word from Lawless to contributors since July 15. From Valerie since the 31st.
Some notes:
Turning off twitter comments was NEVER what any one of us wanted. A ZINE LAYOUT was never shared. So until people had them in hand or in PDF none of us realized that the credits DO NOT POINT TO ANY SOCIAL MEDIA. All of our usernames are handle-less? This was extremely disappointing. This one matters to me: Our FanEdit artist was not aware their work was not getting a full page. Again no pre-layout was shared. So their work is tiny and in the margins of the front and back. That's not okay. All of us wanted to help in any way we could. NONE of us doubt Lawless intentions or emergencies. But lying, misleading, non-communicating and turning off comments are all things we did not consent to. All of us only wanted a cordial, honest response. None of us actually cared about delays as much as we did communications. There has been many noticeable times Lawless has been online, posting privately or otherwise, even active on Discord and has not reached out.
Why make a post:
Customers should know contributors fought for them. That we did everything we could and our reputation as artists in the fandom shouldn't be tarnished cause two creators decided to disappear. Contributors should get their copies. Many of us BOUGHT bundles. I've been in five zines and every single one gave out free contributor copies WITH merch!!
I'm also attaching all server screenshots for integrity. I'm in half a mind to release the zine PDF publicly, for free, for everyone at this point. I personally think it's only fair since many are still missing just that. But I do not want to insult anyone who paid for just the PDF regardless of the potential contribution to charity. But it's really up to customers, not me.

𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐓𝐎𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐔𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓 𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓 ━ ≪ 𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 ≫
Tumblr media
Welcome to the fourth annual installment of Visions of Temptation - the multifandom kinktober content creation challenge hosted at my blog.
►under the cut you will find both lists written down in blank format. You’ll also find a short explanation of some lesser-known kinks you might encounter above.
Tumblr media
███  RULES
▍This challenge features kinktober dialogue & kink prompt lists for everyone over the age of 18.
▍It’s absolutely free to use across all fandoms, with a main focus on otome. If you’re a writer, artist, visual graphic creator, etc., you can use these lists to create your kinktober works.
▍You can share this with your followers and open requests using these lists.
▍There are a total of 62 kinks, two for each day of the month of October, and additionally 31 dialogue prompts. It’s up to you whether you choose to use prompts from one of the lists or both, and to combine them or not. You don't have to follow just one list - mix and match them if you'd like!
▍Make sure to put content warnings where needed.
▍This challenge won't have a masterlist featuring the works created for it, meaning that it won't have a deadline either - feel free to complete it at your own pace.
▍About credit: Make sure to mention the challenge itself and its creator, me. I’d be happy to see your works, so please tag me when using my list here on tumblr! Posting to other sites is fine, as long as you credit me properly :)  
▍In order for us to find each other's works and appreciate them, please make sure to use the tag " #visions of temptation 2023 " !
▍Don't hesitate to reach out if you have a question! My askbox is always open!
▍Remember to have fun and not stress over this long challenge!
targeted fandoms: Ikeseries (Ikemen Prince; Ikemen Vampire; Ikemen Revolution; Ikemen Sengoku; Ikemen Genjiden; Ikemen Villains + other cybird games); Tears of Themis; Obey me!; Mr. Love: Queen's Choice; Count of Darkness; Voltage games; Mystic Messenger; Light and Night + all other mobile/console otome you can think of. Remember, this is just the focus of the challenge - you can write for any fandom at all!
Depending on how much free time i've got on my hands, I'll also be checking out your works and reblogging them on my main blog, @kissmetwicekissmedeadly - under the tag "#vot 23 reblogs" :)
If you're wondering if I'm taking requests for my challenge, make sure to check my blog beforehand. At the moment of posting this, requests are closed - but that might change in the future.

FAQs
Please read the full post if possible as not all FAQs have been posted here
How do I sign up?
To participate as a writer, sign up using the link above! Sign ups begin June 1st, 2023 and run through July 1st, 2023.
To participate as an artist, sign up using the link above! Artist sign ups begin June 1st, 2023 and run through August 25th, 2023.
Can I sign up as both an author and an artist?
You may sign up in both categories, but please be aware of your ability to balance your workload. Signing up as an artist is a commitment to the writer you claim that you will produce artwork for their story. Signing up as a writer is a commitment to the artist that claims you that you will produce a finished story to accompany that artwork.
When and how do artists claim stories?
The Artist Claim Post will go up on August 25th, 2023. In order to submit your story for an artist claim, you must be at least halfway finished with your draft (minimum 5000 words). Authors will submit their story summaries during Author Check-in Number 2, summaries will be anonymized and posted, and artists will fill out a form to claim the story. All artist claims are first come, first served.
Where will the stories and artwork be posted?
All stories and their accompanying art should be posted in their entirety to Archive of Our Own, with a header linking to your story submitted to this tumblr. During the final check-in, when you have finished your works, you will claim a date and time to post your works to AO3 and the linked header to tumblr. You will be responsible for posting your own story/header at least 2, but no more than 24, hours before your assigned time. Please do not cross-promote your works until the bang is completed.
What is the minimum word count? Is there a maximum word count?
The minimum word count required for this festival is 10,000 words. There is no maximum word count.
Can I use a story I’m already writing?
The goal of a big bang is to create a new work of long fiction within a specific time frame. As such, stories you have begun prior to the start of the bang cannot be used. Planning, preparing, and outlining prior to the bang is allowed; beginning your story before the bang starts defeats the purpose of the challenge.
Can I write more than one story?
Signing up for more than one story is allowed, but discouraged due to the high word count requirement. You are the best judge of your writing pace, so please only sign up for what you feel is realistically achievable. Remember that submitting a summary to the Artist Claim Post is a commitment to your artist to complete your story or stories.
What if I don’t finish my story?
You may drop from the OFMD Big Bang at any time prior to receiving an artist claim without penalty. Dropping after art claims is unfair to your artist. If you drop after receiving your artist claim without prior contact with the mods, you may not be allowed to participate in next year’s OFMD Big Bang.
Is a beta required for my story?
Your story must be beta-read at least once before submission. If you do not already have a beta reader, you can visit our beta page (TBA) to request one.
Can I submit my story early?
You may not submit your completed story until at least 2, but no more than 24, hours before your assigned posting date and time. However, if you finish before October 22nd, 2023, you will be poised to claim your posting time slot as soon as the final check-in opens. Please do not post your story to AO3 more than 24 hours before your assigned posting date/time.
May I post my story as a series of installments over time?
No. Your entire story must be posted on AO3 before you submit to our tumblr. You may start posting to AO3 up to 24 hours before your time slot, in order to get all chapters posted and any formatting issues resolved. Please choose your posting slot accordingly. If you need more than 24 hours to format your story, please use AO3’s draft and preview system.
What are the art requirements for the OFMD Big Bang?
The OFMD Big Bang allows a wide array of art, with requirements based on the media. Artists providing a graphics package should include at least one piece of cover art, and a banner/header (which can be a modified version of the cover art). Artists submitting a fanmix should include a linkable (hosted on spotify, youtube, or the like) mix of at least five songs with front and back cover art. Artists submitting traditional or digital artwork should include 2+ pieces of artwork, though one piece can be a banner/header or a piece of cover art cropped from the first piece of art. Artists submitting a fanvid should include at least one video of at least one minute in length. Artists submitting a Photoset or Gifset must have at least six (6) frames. Artists submitting a podfic should include a recording which covers the entire text of the story. In all cases, artwork should not whitewash any character played by an actor of color. If deemed necessary by the mods, artists may be asked to adjust palette/skin tone color of their work.
The summaries posted to the Artist Claim Post will include a note on any types of artwork an author prefers to receive/not to receive. Some authors may be uncomfortable with certain content (eg. nudity) or formats. Please do your best to make an artist claim that will best suit both you and your writer.
Artists are required to host their artwork on a site of their choosing, and then provide embedding links to their authors. Simply emailing your finished art files to the author is not acceptable. See below for more information.
Can I claim more than one story?
Please claim only one story in the first Artist Claim Post. If we still have unclaimed stories, we will post a second round claim post later that same week.

Welcome to the 2024 hiatus rewatch!
Starting January 1st, we will be watching two episodes per week (Monday - Sunday). These can be watched at any point throughout the week. Complete rewatch schedule can be found below the cut!
Reminders of which episodes we will be watching each week will be posted on Sunday around noon CST. On Monday, a discussion post will go live that you can reply to if you want to talk to your fellow rewatchers, as well as a list of any fanfics that are tagged on AO3 with the episode number.
We encourage anyone participating to live blog, share their thoughts, scream about their favorite parts, or post any newly created fanworks about the episode using #911 lone star rewatch 2024
Other ways you can participate:
Reblog gif sets, fan art, fan fics, edits, metas, etc. related to the episodes of the week! Tag them ‘911 lone star rewatch 2024’ and we will do our best to reblog as much as we can as well, including queuing up posts throughout the week. (Obviously we will not reblog spam, or anything hateful or bigoted.)
Send us fic recs pertaining to the weekly episodes! Not everyone tags the episode on AO3, so send us anything we missed.
Please mention us @911lonestarrewatch or use the tag ‘911 lone star rewatch 2024’ if you post any new gif sets, fics, or fan art pertaining to that week’s episodes
Feel free to come and go as you please, there’s no obligation to take part every week. Also feel free to fall behind and reblog stuff from past weeks. The schedule is just to give this some structure, not a deadline anyone has to meet.
And have fun!
Schedule under the cut:
January 1st - January 7th:
1x01: Pilot

FAN PROJECT FOR RONEN & RAFAEL
As you all know Ronen and Rafael are joining the First Responders Reunion convention by Dreamit in Paris on June 3rd and 4th and I thought of a small project for them that anyone can join.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Following the marina fans example (thank you for the beautiful idea!) I've got 2 pride flags to gift Ronen and Rafael and I wanted to get them signed by fans before giving them to them so:
If you're attending the convention, you can find me there and sign them personally, I'll be there on both days (or do the below)
If you're not attending the convention, you can send me your name, country and a small message (optional, max 10/15 words) through dm, ask or as a reply under the post and I'll personally add you on it
DEADLINE: MAY 22nd
Any signal boost, even if you're not interested in joining, is very much appreciated!

- Please read & share if you're able -
I'm worried about the immediate future and admittedly need help... Details are below the cut and links are bolded.
I was let go a little under a month into my job because my trainers "didn't have the time to babysit" and considered my lack of immediate skill an issue they didn't want to "waste time" resolving. I was hired July 22nd and my last day was August 16th. I hate pulling this card, but I'm a disabled, LGBT+ person of color who comes from a very abusive background and I'm living in a state where you're now allowed to discriminate based on your views on such subjects. It took me several months of searching before I was able to land a job since I was rejected left and right without any reasoning. Now I just got fired from a job I only recently got without any prior warning or chance to discuss it. They claimed I was doing well, then my manager suddenly had my coworkers gang up on me at once instead of trying to iron out the issues by getting to know me herself. Words can't express how shocked I am that it ended up this way after everything seemed okay. I'm ashamed to say that I have just under enough money to pay off my insurance this October and I'm worried that finding a new job will take longer than expected. I have to admit that I may need a boost, and literally anything will help right now. I do have a Ko-fi where anyone can donate $5. My PayPal and CashApp are both under the same name, and if you want a little something out of supporting me on those two apps, know that I'm willing to discuss taking art commissions whenever I'm asked (though they can take me a while to get to and finish). There's absolutely no pressure to help me meet my deadline - I'm just getting desperate and even sharing this with a friend would make me so grateful. I will do my best to pay the kindness forward however I can. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. ❤️

--- Cohort 1 notes: on 3/15/24, 4 of the Cohort 1 AWC seedlings were planted in 3 pots: Gemini (two together), Atlas, and Pipsqueak in the Derby (2004) medium with a sprinkle of Osmocote + original medium from cones. Heights were 14.5 cm & 6 cm (Gemini), 12 cm (Atlas), and 10 cm (Pipsqueak). Pending them not dying immediately and/or showing signs of significant growth, the remaining seedlings will be repotted. Target height prior to planting is 36 cm. Repotting showed a shallower root system than expected, needs a wider container than cone or should be replanted sooner.
3/17/24 update: might be a coincidence but Pipsqueak and Atlas are already showing new growth (crown and branches, respectively). no changes from Gemini. among the un-repotted, Ursa Minor has some browning at the crown - might need to transplant soon than later, or perhaps burning from too much sun? will rotate and see if this improves. unsure how I will separate Gemini/Ursa Major and Minor when the time comes :/
3/20/24 - separated Gemini into two pots due to lack of immediate growth/improvement shown in Atlas and Pipsqueak. Concern about browning on Ursa Minor, may attempt to divide soon. Potted Hajime and Tagalong to use up the extra medium.
3/28/24 - Potted Ursa Minor and Ursa Major (without Osmocote). Atlas and Pipsqueak continue to show the most improvement. Tagalong has started to show some new growth; less from Hajime. Gemini 1 has started showing new radial growth with a hint of crown growth from Gemini 2. Added layer of compost to all C1 after morning watering
Heights updates:
Pipsqueak - 12.5 cm
Atlas - 13.0 cm
Gemini 1 - 14.5 cm
Gemini 2 - ~6 cm (note: crown is bent)
Hajime - 13.8 cm
Tagalong - 11.0 cm
Ursa Minor - 6.7 cm (note: browning on crown might affect future vertical growth)
Ursa Major - 18.3 cm
Cohort 2 notes: on 3/17/24, 105 seeds were planted for Cohort 2 in the Derby (2004) medium with the Osmocote. seeds were floated (77 floated, 28 didn't float) and grouped by float status, divided into 28 cones (on average 4 seeds to each cone), planted, and additional medium spread on top ~1/4 cm. some of the original medium from Cohort 1 was used in cones where Derby medium was insufficient. all cones were watered at approximately 12:00 with 2 tsp of distilled water.
3/20/24 - no growth so far. continuing with 2 tsp water daily (morning). May try dividing into 1 tsp morning, 1 tsp evening.
3/28/24 - no growth so far. continuing with 2 tsp water daily (morning). will switch to divided watering for a sample after 30 days.

Next week, I will run a tournament bracket to decide what the actual subject should be. Until then, please submit suggestions for subject through asks!
The finished result will be posted by December 10th.
My regular art blog is @harbek. Here's some examples of my range:
Tumblr media
SCHEDULE:
November 14th - 21st: Polls on medium/style/colours/vibe.
November 21st: Deadline for subject submissions.
November 22nd: The subject tournament bracket begins!
(One-day polls. Length will depend on number of suggestions.)
PROFIT??? (I work on the art and also my other exams.)
December 8th: Academic deadline for this project!!
December 10th: When the final result will be posted.
MORE DETAILS (FOR THE CURIOUS):
This is a project that's a part of my bachelor degree in Art, at the University of South-Eastern Norway. I'm examining and experimenting with the concept of an artist letting the direction of their work be determined by their audience (such as by communal voting).
Stuff you may find on this blog:
These polls, obviously.
An occasional reblog relevant to this subject?
Other polls asking your opinions on related stuff.
Concept sketches based on random possible combinations of poll results (to have more than one work to show).
ALSO, the art result of my test poll!
If you're an artist (of any level of skill/experience) and you have thoughts on this, please feel free to reach out!
