As you know, Tumblr has begun the fuckening. I am someone who is a part of so many great Captain America fandom communities, and I’d hate to lose touch with anyone as a result of this nonsense.
Because of that, I’ve created a Captain America Fandom Lifeboat spreadsheet where people can list their alternate contact accounts, from Pillowfort to Twitter. Please feel free to share this across Cap fandom, or even into the wider MCU!
A directory of social media handles so people can find you on other sites. Once you fill out the form (none of the questions are required so in theory you can just hit “submit” without answering anything, but you can also just View Here) you will be able to access, but not edit, a spreadsheet of everyone’s handles across their social media.
As the disclaimer banner says, EVERYTHING you enter into this form is made public so you know, be careful. If you don’t want two of your handles linked…don’t put ‘em both in there.
I can’t think of a genuine reason this would be a bad idea but it’s a lot of data about people and their personal names that’s easily scrapeable so you know, if you can argue that this is a really bad idea for X reason, I’m willing to listen and delete as necessary.
I saw a sad facebook post from the gay bookstore back in Ann Arbor where I used to live about how they hadn’t sold any books that day so I went on their online store and bought a couple, and while you don’t get #deals like elsewhere online, I’d love it if y’all would consider buying your next gay book from them instead of like, Amazon.
Common Language is a great bookstore and while I’ve only been there once, I follow it on Instagram and really want to see it succeed!
This post is only a few days old, so let’s keep the ball rolling!
Cosigning about the greatness of this store.
They’ve announced they are closing on Dec 31, 2018. Please do go buy out their stock and send them off with a bang.
The final day of the store will be December 31st. We hope to sell as much of the inventory as possible. Effective immediately nearly all inventory is 20% off. In mid-November prices will be 30% off. For the final two weeks of the year everything in the store will be 50% off. Please continue to follow us on Facebook. An online presence may remain. While we are happy to continue to take special orders and online orders, the sale doesn’t apply to those orders.
We’re making some overdue improvements to the code that powers our login system. When we make these changes, all Archive users will be logged out of their accounts.
To avoid permanently losing access to your account, please make sure you know your password and/or can receive password reset emails by December 13.
If you don’t have access to your email address, please contact Policy & Abuse immediately.
We’ll do our best to help you regain access to your account whenever you contact us, but it’ll be a much easier process if it’s done while you’re still logged in. If you wait to get in touch with us later and can’t prove account ownership, we won’t be able to update your email and you might be logged out permanently.
Please take a moment to check your email account, and send a ticket as soon as you can if you need to have your email address manually updated. You can always reach Policy & Abuse here:
Chinese fandoms are currently experiencing an actual Purge right now. Every fandom. Accounts are getting banned, all shipping wars has been put on hold. Everyone’s hiding their porn and moving them to ao3.
There’s reward money involved. A recent update to censorship law raised the maximum reward for reporting illicit online materials to 50k yuan (7000 USD), so some people are reporting porn like crazy right now, and apparently, BL fandoms have been especially targeted, where some even more tame things got maliciously misreported.
Anyway, it’s a mess. Content creators are just disappearing off the face of the internet left and right. Expect an influx of Chinese porn fics on AO3.
Well… if there’s one thing out of this mess… nothing bands warring ships/fandoms like censorship…
Hey guys, if some awesome person in China translated your fic into Chinese or created fan art, you really should spread the word! This could affect someone you know!
This is also a call out to all you fuckwits that repost art on Tumblr, twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram. Your negligence hurts people.
