Hi all,

Happy 2019!

I ultimately ultimately decided not to delete this account, because there are just entirely too many memories and posts that I love more than I rightfully should (I’m incredibly sentimental askljhfalhskjd)

But! I won’t be posting here anymore. I would suggest checking out my twitter or subscribing to my ao3 for any announcements, and find all drabbles on my dreamwidth.

Feel free to send anything in, but responses will be delayed.

Love and best wishes from my family to yours,

-dicky

all i want to do is write that one fic that takes people’s breath away and kinda lingers in the back of their minds. i want to write something that makes people want to make art and play with my versions of characters or in the universe i created. i want to be able to create worlds that feel real enough to walk into and write lines that stick with people until they forget where exactly they heard it because it lives in their bones now.

Get yourself un-shadowbanned That post seems to be going around a bit but not the reblog on how to fix it, so here’s another

Go to postlimit, put in your blog name, TAKE A SCREENSHOT

Go to tumblr support and file a support ticket. Category: Blog incorrectly marked explicit. Details: posts hidden from search results. Attach the screenshot. Do this even if you’ve already filed a support ticket N days ago without a screenshot. Make sure the relevant blog is chosen and you have the right contact email address.

They got back to me within an hour.

“That’s one way to start a conversation lmaoo”

[squelchsquelch]

there is no ‘right time’ there is just time and what you choose to do with it 

[squelchsquelch]

Every chapter. Every one shot. Every drabble. Every ficlet. Whether it’s on a personal website, a blog, or an archive. Whether you’ve read it a hundred times before or you’re reading it for the first time. Whether the fic was posted years ago or minutes ago. Whether you sign your name or leave your thoughts anonymously. Whether your comment is paragraphs in length or a few short words. Comment on every fanfic you read and enjoy in the month of January.

Scam Alert - Commissioning Artists Beware

Artists, there’s a scam going around on Twitter at the minute, and you never know, someone might try it over here.

This guy is messaging commissioning artists and attempting to gain access to their PayPal by pretending to need a code to pay the bill. Obviously we all know that’s bull, but if someone isn’t paying attention, is unfamiliar with PayPal commissions as a whole, or is just desperate enough for that commission money?  They might fall for it. OP’s tweet here.

PayPal will not require a code for someone to complete payment.

It’s just not how it works, I know it, you know it, the scammer knows it.  But he’s gambling on the potential that someone (and that someone is mostly likely to be a young, new artist without much commission experience under their belt, let’s be honest) doesn’t know it.  Let’s make sure everyone does. So if you’d be so kind, please boost the everliving hell out of this.  Don’t let anyone fall prey to this shady, shady individual, either here or on twitter or anywhere else.

hey since apparently some people didn’t know this

if your family is low income, you can take your sat for free – twice!

and as a bonus, you can waive 4 college application fees. so like if a college you wanna apply to has a $20 fee, you can use one of your freebies to not have to pay that. four times. that means you can apply to at least 4 colleges (more if you can find ones with free applications) for no cost at all.

check in with your guidance counselor and see if you qualify – at my school, we qualify if we’re on free or reduced price lunch. my waiver had 2 free act’s included too.

boosts appreciated! a lot of people don’t know about this and it can save you a lot of much-needed money. tell your friends. tell your friends’ friends

and this is all directly from the college board website so it’s legit
