I don't think you should get to go on here and post about how the evil Chinese government influenced book award nominations for ideological reasons and then later reblog something that reveals that this was all a distraction to keep all the Chinese language ballots that got thrown out for racism reasons a secret and everyone is just supposed to give you a pass?

That's nice.

As one of the people directly affected (episode 6 of my show Sandman would have got enough votes to be on the Hugo ballot, but was mysteriously removed as "ineligible"), I've been posting and reblogging the information that we've had as we've been getting it.

One of the best things about getting to blog in real time is that as more information comes in you get to reblog that.

Originally, what we knew from what people were saying or implying was that there was censorship going on.

We knew that a book, two people and a TV show had been removed from the nominee list before the final ballot. But nobody was talking on the record.

Then one of the Hugo Committee broke ranks, leaked emails and spoke to Jason Sanford and Chris M. Barkley, who released this report:

The most shocking part of the story, from the leaks, is that Dave McCarty, the adminstrator, appears to have thrown out hundreds, perhaps thousands of Chinese votes, claiming that they were a "slate". (Something that he doesn't have the authority to do, any more than he had the authority to mark things inexplicably ineligible.)

I hope this helps.

My art got stolen, edited and used for commercial purposes

This store claims to be "official" Grian merch shop and oH BOI they are clearly not. The amount of stolen art on this store is simply owherwhelming. This is just an example.

They took my art, made 5 designs and slapped it on everything they could mass produce, resulting in more than 55 merchandise pieces with art they have no right on. And I am not even counting Grian Official (like TRUE OFFICIAL) mech, and some other artist I don't know, but clearly they haven't given their consent to this. Examples below.

Official Grian merch that was limited edition btw:

Artist I don't know, please help me find them:

This one is by TheElliPelli on twitter, here is the link

And if you think that i was kidding about erased signature... HA

I already contacted them, and asked to take down absolutely everything that includes my art, and also I emailed Grian himself, i don't know does he bother or not, but worth a try.

PLEASE SPREAD THIS POST

Thank you all uwu

The woman stares blankly at her.

“Amaia,” she says, “I know not who I am. Won’t you give me a name?”

Her mouth opens, and then closes.

This isn’t Laurentina.

“Specter, then,” she whispers. Then she drops her voice lower, leaving the syringe in the bag and opening her journal. “What do the voices tell you?”

Specter smiles at her. “How did you know about the voices?”

Amaia is quiet. “We’re the same, you and I,” she says. “Both striving for something out of our reach.”
