I'm so glad to see AO3 making it absolutely clear that none of these things are allowed to even be HINTED at.

Here's some of the language from the new post about AO3's police on commercial promotion:

-

There is a wide variety of things that are not allowed under AO3's non-commercialization rules.

Any other language which one might interpret as requesting or having requested financial contributions, whether for yourself or others. This covers indirect references, euphemisms, or other language intended to get around the TOS. Some examples of this include:

Thanks for the coffee!

My ☕ username is the same as my username here

You know where to find me if you want early or bonus chapters

“Go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”

— Kurt Vonnegut (via lazypacific)

How to get access to queer lit for freeeee

Our Summer Reading Challenge fundraiser for LGBTQ+ youth is ON - you can see our full queer summer reading list here.

"But It Gets Better, how do I get access to all these amazing queer books without having to buy them all?" you ask?

🟣 First, check your school’s library, or your town/county’s local public library. Many have an LGBTQ+ specific section! Ask them how to apply for a free library card, and how to access their digital collection - they may require proof of address, like a school I.D., driver's license, or piece of mail addressed to you.

🟣 Many public libraries give you access to platforms like Libby and Hoopla for free with your library card, which allow you to download even more books that may not be physically on your library’s shelves!

🟣 If your town has an LGBTQ+ center, ask if they have an LGBTQ+ library with books that you can borrow. You can find your closest center with the directory from Center Link.

🟣 BooksUnbanned.com can help get you free e-cards from multiple libraries around the country, so you can access their online collections even if you don’t live in the area. Most cards are available for people ages 13-26! It was started by Brooklyn Public Library, and you can also get free cards for Boston Public Library, LA County Library, Seattle Public Library, and San Diego Public Library.

Once you’ve got your books, you can join the challenge here!

I had such a blast doing the Atlas Rising Q&A (which are still open), that I thought I might try do the same with Darkbloom if anyone had questions!

Can I just say something honestly and very seriously to all you writers?

With the Internet going down the "nothing adult, no death, no nothing. Make it kid friendly" route,

Please don't ever stop making art or writing wips that are gruesome, horror, other things like that. Don't let the Internet sanitize how you wanna tell a story. Channel your rage into your art and keep going and don't give up

>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on

I know we are all used to hear bad news from the USA or UK when it comes to trans rights but this time Germany wants to play in the same league.

Our idiots at home ministry came up with the fucking idea to start a register for all transgender and nonbinary people which would mean every person working at some public position could always at any given time see your assigned gender at birth, your deadname, your address and who knows what else.

We had been there in the past. Hitler Germany called it the "Travestite Law" back then. Our politicians didn't learn.

We all know this is unacceptable.

Please, if you are German, sign it. If you are not, spread it wide and far.

This had been stopped once a few years ago. It needs to be stopped again.
