THIRD ONLINE PLAYTEST! - 28.11-5.12

Surprise! We’re doing a playtest next week! Come on over in our community Discord to try out an all new download, chat with folks, and learn more about development on our as-of-yet-untitled fishing game! This test will only be up for a limited time, so get it while its hot!

This time we'll be testing out everything we have so far! By that we mean we'll be testing every system together. This includes:

Three islands to explore and fish on

Upgrades to find and buy (the shop and eel shopkeep is BACK!)

An all new fishing minigame!

A food buff system where you can turn catch into helpful meals! (this will definitely break the game, so have fun)

New dialogue boxes, but sadly no return of the Cod Quest just yet. narrative is still gonna be pretty barebones

Come on in! https://discord.gg/ATPbPKMywk

Would you like some free books? 'Cause I've got some free books for you! Also a whole bunch for just 99 cents.

Including all these preorders:

So, if you like books, grab 'em and spread the word. This is a lovely stack of stories and I can't wait for you to read 'em.

Most of these sales will end Friday night, but the preorders (Including Pumpkin War, which is set in the same world as my Shattered Tale!) will all stay 99 cents until June 12th. My personal goal is to hit 200 preorders on To Destroy an Illusion, and I'm currently a quarter of the way there.

PSA: Writers, WRITE FOR YOURSELVES!

Something that I feel like us writers forget is that we should be writing for ourselves, for our own enjoyment not that of others. I keep seeing these writers making posts about how they hate that their reblog to comment ratio doesn't match and it makes them angry.

I get it, but I also don’t. I understand that you put your work out there for others to read, but personally I think that you should be putting it out there because you want to, and I think that people forget that.

I am not writing for my fans/followers, I am writing because I like the way it makes me feel. Its the only way I feel I can escape, and so therefore I write. I don’t do it for anyone other than myself. I am overjoyed that people read my content and share it when they do, but that’s not what matters to me. What matters is that someone else could find joy in the things I write.

Yes, it does feel amazing to have people reblog and comment, it gives us motivation, but we shouldn’t be solely focusing on that alone. If you are, then you are doing something wrong. You should just love the feeling of even just a like.

It is sad to see all these different creators threatening to leave tumblr or even giving up on their stories because of the gratification of others.

There have been times where I have written things that don’t get a whole lot of attention, and that fine. I am more than happy that I have even 50 people who read it and love it, because I wrote it for myself, I shared it, for myself and not for anyone else. That to me is what is important.

Do you think that every Harry Potter fan has written a personal letter to J.K. Rowling telling her how great her book is? No! And that’s perfectly fine. She knows that there are so many people out there who read her books and enjoy them in silence. That is something that we should remember, we should be doing the same as writers. Not everyone is going to be vocal about what they think about your writing, but just like her, she wrote that book for her, because she enjoyed it....

Now readers need to understand that we are not just there to write for them, and that if we don’t want to write something we do not have too.

I have a friend who was afraid to tell someone that she wasn’t feeling the request that she received, and that is more than okay. There is nothing wrong with not wanting to write something, and there is nothing wrong with saying no! There is also nothing wrong with taking a request and making it your own, so don’t forget that. So please don’t send hate if things don’t go your way, we are all here to enjoy ourselves and escape the world that we live in.

Back to writers, love your craft, and don’t worry about those who don’t.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -

I am fine with "the audience" -

downloading my fics

printing my fics

copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics

sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3

making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whispering my precioussss

doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc

I am not fine with "the audience"

doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity

feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever

Save the fandom things. Preserve the fandom things. Respect the fandom things.

Enjoy the fandom things.

#fanfic #ao3 #archive of our own #fandom things #tumblr things #i may have said this at some point #i'm sure i have #but whatever - just in case #i don't say this with the presumption that i'm so amazing and people are clamoring to save my fics #but just if anyone is so inclined that's all #ftr i don't intend on ever removing my fics from ao3 or deleting fandom things from this blog #i've always shared my fandom things with the intent of keeping them shared bc that's the whole point of posting #but the fandom atmosphere and ao3 constantly being under attack who knows what can happen #not that this applies to anyone but should all else fail you can also reach out to me and i will personally give you a copy #at least of fics bc i save everything #not so much the tumblr things but this is a good reminder to myself that i should do that for the things i care about #that i've made or done and only posted here #anyway sorry i have now used up my quota of the putting words into sentences doing for today #i have plans to stare into the void now

FYI artists and writers: some info regarding tumblr's new "third-party sharing" (aka selling your content to OpenAI and Midjourney)

You may have already seen the post by @staff regarding third-party sharing and how to opt out. You may have also already seen various news articles discussing the matter.

But here's a little further clarity re some questions I had, and you may too. Caveat: Not all of this is on official tumblr pages, so it's possible things may change.

(1) "I heard they already have access to my data and it doesn't really matter if I opt out"

From the 404 article:

A new FAQ section we reviewed is titled “What happens when you opt out?” states “If you opt out from the start, we will block crawlers from accessing your content by adding your site on a disallowed list. If you change your mind later, we also plan to update any partners about people who newly opt-out and ask that their content be removed from past sources and future training.”

So please, go click that opt-out button.

(2) Some future user: "I've been away from tumblr for months, and I just heard about all this. I didn't opt out before, so does it make a difference anymore?"

Another internal document shows that, on February 23, an employee asked in a staff-only thread, “Do we have assurances that if a user opts out of their data being shared with third parties that our existing data partners will be notified of such a change and remove their data?” Andrew Spittle, Automattic’s head of AI replied: “We will notify existing partners on a regular basis about anyone who's opted out since the last time we provided a list. I want this to be an ongoing process where we regularly advocate for past content to be excluded based on current preferences. We will ask that content be deleted and removed from any future training runs. I believe partners will honor this based on our conversations with them to this point. I don't think they gain much overall by retaining it.”

It should make a difference! Go click that button.

(3) "I opted out, but my art posts have been reblogged by so many people, and I don't know if they all opted out. What does that mean for my stuff?"

This answer is actually on the support page for the toggle:

This option will prevent your blog's content, even when reblogged, from being shared with our licensed network of content and research partners, including those that train AI models.

And some further clarification by the COO and a product manager:

zingring: A couple people from work have reached out to let me know that yes, it applies to reblogs of "don't scrape" content. If you opt out, your content is opted out, even in reblog form. cyle: yep, for reblogs, we're taking it so far as "if anybody in the reblog trail has opted out, all of the content in that reblog will be opted out", when a reblog could be scraped/shared.

So not only your reblogged posts, but anyone who contributed in a reblog (such as posts where someone has been inspired to draw fanart of the OP) will presumably be protected by your opt-out. (A good reason to opt out even if you yourself are not a creator.)

Furthermore, if you the OP were offline and didn't know about the opt-out, if someone contributed to a reblog and they are opted out, then your original work is also protected. (Which makes it very tempting to contribute "scrapeable content" now whenever I reblog from an abandoned/disused blog...)

(4) "What about deleted blogs? They can't opt out!"

I was told by someone (not official) that he read "deleted blogs are all opted-out by default". However, he didn't recall the source, and I can't find it, so I can't guarantee that info. If I get more details - like if/when tumblr puts up that FAQ as reported in the 404 article - I will add it here as soon as I can.

Edit, tumblr has updated their help page for the option to opt-out of third-party sharing! It now states:

The content which will not be shared with our licensed network of content and research partners, including those that train AI models, includes: • Posts and reblogs of posts from blogs who have enabled the "Prevent third-party sharing" option. • Posts and reblogs of posts from deleted blogs. • Posts and reblogs of posts from password-protected blogs. • Posts and reblogs of posts from explicit blogs. • Posts and reblogs of posts from suspended/deactivated blogs. • Private posts. • Drafts. • Messages. • Asks and submissions which have not been publicly posted. • Post+ subscriber-only posts. • Explicit posts.

So no need to worry about your old deleted blogs that still have reblogs floating around. *\o/*

But for your existing blogs, please use the opt out option. And a reminder of how to opt out, under the cut:

The opt-out toggle is in Blog Settings, and please note you need to do it for each one of your blogs / sideblogs.

On dashboard, the toggle is at https://www.tumblr.com/settings/blog/blogname [replace "blogname" as applicable] down by Visibility:

For mobile, you need the most recent update of the app. (Android version 33.4.1.100, iOs version 33.4.) Then go to your blog tab (the little person icon), and then the gear icon for Settings, then click Visibility.

Again, if you have a sideblog, go back to the blog tab, switch to it, and go to settings again. Repeat as necessary.

If you do not have access to the newest version of the app for whatever reason, you can also log into tumblr in your mobile browser. Same URL as per desktop above, same location.

Note you do not need to change settings in both desktop and the app, just one is fine.

I hope this helps!

Butch Fairy Zine: interest check!

This is an interest check! For a Butch fairy themed art zine to be held in 2024. Find the link here

This will be an art book that celebrates butch folk, and fairies, but through the lense of a field guide, with sketches and concepts alongside full colour illustrations. This project is currently being planned by 5 people, and a frog 🐸

This is not an Artist App form, but if you want to apply as an artist, you can still fill this in. We will make An Artist form later in January.

Why I Prefer To Text Instead Of Talking

I don't have to think about body language

It allows for information processing time

If I'm confused by language, I can fact check

If I'm feeling overwhelmed, I don't have to reply

I feel less judged for how I communicate

I can organise my thoughts more easily

I feel more in control of what I am trying to say
