i did lose a longtime mutual over being a thancred fan (fancred?). it was kinda funny i did catch them shittalking with their friend on twitter that i'd probably end up enjoying thanuri + ryne family. i just silently broke mutuals w them, didn't start a fight (they're younger than me), but they were right. i did. i did end up enjoying thanuri + ryne family.

Honestly, fanwriters (and fancreatives in general) should just go on "strike" for a month or two. Tagline it something like "#kill the algorithm" or "#fandom on break" or whatever and under the hashtag fancreatives can share their stories with fandom, how it use to be a community and how they watched it changed and die and morph into something consumerist, and encourage others to revive the fandom community once we come off "strike".

Even if it doesn't work, we at the very least get a break to just focus on ourselves, reconnect with our hobby since we can still make fanwork we're just not posting/sharing it, and to get some time to just finally vent and bond with other fancreatives in our hashtag(s). It will also force the go-go-go, post-post-post attitude of modern fandom to a halt, and that will probably drive out a good chunk of the algorithm-rotted normies (for a little while at least). January and/or February could be our strike month(s) if we want to do this sooner, or we can do October and/or November if we really want to stab it where it'll hurt.

It could also be kind nice to just do a "strike" month every other month, so like, for example, strike on January, create again on February, strike again in March, and repeat.

But that would be more of a movement focused on slowly down fandom and giving creatives consistent rest and freedom from the pressure to constantly update rather than a "strike" built to encourage community since there wouldn't be an endpoint/goal in sight beyond "we tried, on break, BRB boss, see you on Monday".

This "movement" could be taglined something like "#let fandom breathe" or "#fandom on commercial break" or "#fandom on weekend" and followers of it could give themselves some corny ass name like "fanworkers" since they essentially have months they "work/clock on" and months they "have off/clock off".

Posting as a response to a previous problem.

The fact that Knockout, the canonical prettiest of the bunch, got the worst toy interpretation is absolutely criminal.

Sorry you're the target this week, friend. I wish the people that send crappy asks like that could realize the joys that are: 1. Fanwork is a voluntary act of love no one is required to do a certain way, 2. You have the power, at any time, to be the fanwork you wish to see. You want more content of a certain kind? Then A: make some yourself! And B: Go in good faith and comment/reblog/praise work of that kind! Fancreatives, (like other humans! Wow!) respond much better to carrots than sticks!

(2)When you try to guilt or shame folks into doing the thing the way you want, the most likely outcome is actually that the person Reduces Their Output All Together. :P *sigh* Anyway, personally, while I came for the Hannigram, I stayed because I dig your style and your takes enough that I am chill with or enjoy most of your non HG content as well. And if I stop? Then I have the ability to filter or leave! Wow! What an adult choice! XD Hang in there friend. Don't let the shitheels get you down!

Omg, yes totally, I feel that the more people go I should be doing things, even if I try, it doesn’t happen.

I have been attempting Hannibal art in the middle of all of this other stuff and I’ve not been happy with anything, that’s probably because I’ve been forcing it, and you can’t do that. 

But yeah, use xkit, blacklist tags, everything is tagged even reblogs for me so it’s easy to get rid of if you don’t want to see it!

Everytime I think that you know, I’m confident in what I’m doing and the direction I’m taking there’s always a knock I suppose.

But yeah, thanks for the support! It means a lot! xx

Key is right...it’s IMPOSSIBLE to watch SHINee perform live and leave without becoming their fan

cr: @amberrlocket ~ they are that amazing live 😱

[kooriicolada]

tbh i’m like super afraid to interact with some fandoms... star wars, marvel, lord of the rings (tho i managed to interact there some!) because they’re old, and vast, and there’s a fear of Those Fans who will eat you alive.

tl;dr they’re like staring at some eldritch abyss, maw agape and a million teeth and eyes turning to scrutinize you and your fancred.

Free Agent Contract Projections from Jon Heyman and His Expert

Late last week, we kicked off our 2018-2019 offseason preview with a look into Bryce Harper’s exciting trip through free agency from the perspective of the Chicago Cubs. Ultimately, it is still our hope that Harper will be the front office’s primary target of the winter, though multiple, recent developments have indicated otherwise.

But there are a lot of potential free agents out there – 131, give or take – and whether the Cubs decided to spend freely or not, they should be at least involved in many of those discussions. So with that in mind, let’s take a look at the full set of contract predictions made by Jon Heyman and his “expert” to get a sense of the market. We couldn’t possibly share everything here, so be sure to check out the full list at FanCred. We also discussed the financial projections from MLBTR here this weekend.

Bryce Harper is listed first, as he’s expected to land the most lucrative contract of the offseason. Heyman has him at 11 years and $330M total, while his expert has him at 11 years/$374M. That’s a difference of $4M/year (both in actual dollars and AAV), so that’s a pretty sizable gap. Ultimately, I think he’ll land closer to Heyman than his expert, but $350M isn’t out of the question. As for potential landing spots, Heyman lists the Nationals and Phillies as “for sure,” before adding the Giants, Cubs, and Yankees.

Unsurprisingly, Manny Machado is listed next, and he’s expected to get slightly less than Harper. Both Heyman and his expert expect Machado to land a 10-year deal, but the expert is going on the high-end of total dollars ($325M) compared to Heyman ($300M). Of course, Machado’s overall earning potential will almost certainly be decided by Harper’s deal, so their thoughts on Harper probably influenced this position. And that means that, once again, I think Machado could land somewhere in the middle, but probably will not exceed $325M. Heyman believes the Phillies and the Yankees are the most obvious suitors, and I would agree.

A trio of pitchers follow these two prime-aged bats – Dallas Keuchel, Clayton Kershaw, and Patrick Corbin – but I don’t actually expect the Cubs to be involved with any of them. Note that Kershaw wound up extending with the Dodgers for three years and $93 million, a far better deal than the 4/$100M he was projected to get.

The next free agent listed who could be of interest to the Cubs is Craig Kimbrel. The formerly dominant closer wasn’t quite his usually dominant self this season, but he was still good, and should probably ride his name into a big deal. Heyman and his expert are both predicting four years, which sounds right, but their money, is once again spread widely: $60M for the expert, $72M for Heyman.

One of the questions I asked on Twitter the other day was If you could get Andrew McCutchen *and* Manny Machado for the same price as Bryce Harper, would you do it? And the results were almost completely split down the middle. Of course, some people thought the entire premise was unlikely, based on what McCutchen should get in free agency. But, well, maybe that’s not so true. According to Heyman’s expert, McCutchen is in store for just 4 years and $15M/year ($60M total), while Heyman thinks he’ll get fewer years (3) and less money/per season ($13M/year, $39M overall).

So by Heyman’s standards, McCutchen+Machado would cost you $339M total, while Harper would cost $330M, and his expert sees the duo costing $385M total with Harper at $374M. So, basically, the premise is almost exactly spot on … have you changed your mind? Does it even matter?

MLBTR projected McCutchen to the Cubs on a three-year, $45 million deal. While he might not be the top choice for an offensive upgrade, at that price tag, he might not be a bad addition in concert with other moves.

One very intriguing – perhaps unexpectedly so – free agent to keep an eye on for the Cubs this winter is Marwin Gonzalez. The versatile Houston Astro could play second base for the Cubs, back up Javy Baez at short, and spend time in the outfield as needed. Because of that versatility, however, he won’t come cheap. The expert has him at 4 years and $56M overall while Heyman is just behind that: 4 years, $52M. Ben Zobrist’s 4/$56M with the Cubs is clearly being used as a comp.

Some outgoing Cubs free agents, just as an FYI: Jesse Chavez is projected at one or two years, and about $6 million per year, Justin Wilson is projected at two or three years and $7 to $8 million per year, and Jorge De La Rosa is projected at one year and $2 to $3 million.

The crop of free agents is enormous, so head over to FanCred Sports and check out all the contract projections to get a rough sense of the market.

Report: 'Industry Speculation' Is Joe Girardi Is Waiting for Cubs Job

Kathy Willens/Associated Press

Former Florida Marlins and New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi remains available for teams with a job opening, though according to Jon Heyman of Fancred, Girardi may be holding out for the Chicago Cubs or Chicago White Sox position to become open a year from now:

Girardi, 54, last managed the Yankees in 2017. In 10 years in New York, he went 910-710, leading the team to six postseasons and a 2009 World Series title. In one season with the Marlins (2006), Girardi went 78-84.

As for the Cubs, the team is bringing back manager Joe Maddon for the 2019 season, but as Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported in early October, the team won't offer him a contract extension this winter. Instead, "he was told he will be evaluated after next season with his five-year, $28 million contract expiring."

The Cubs disappointed this season, especially in October, losing against the Milwaukee Brewers in an NL Central Division title game after the two sides finished the regular season with identical records. They then lost in the NL Wild Card Game against the Colorado Rockies.

That's no guarantee Maddon won't be retained, especially if the Cubs have a strong 2019 campaign, but it does leave open the possibility that the position could be Girardi's if he's indeed interested in managing for the Cubs.

The White Sox, meanwhile, went 62-100 this past season, and manager Rick Renteria's contract is up after the 2019 campaign. Unlike the Cubs, the White Sox are in a rebuilding phase, making it more likely Girardi would be targeting the Cubs out of the two teams given their playoff-ready roster.

As for his 2019 plans, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reported Friday that "it appears at the moment that Girardi’s plan is to return to MLB Network next season, though he absolutely wants to manage again. Would be surprising to see him fill any of the current openings."

So regardless of whether it's with the Cubs or not, it appears Girardi's next managerial job will come in 2020.
