#Mailing List

[acorviart]

I made a mailing list! finally!

you can sign up here: https://acorviart.bigcartel.com/newsletter

note that it's a double opt-in system to prevent spam, so you'll need to check your email (check spam folder too) for an opt-in email to hit confirm and fully sign up

my only plan is to use this mailing list for shop drops and to send out compilation catalogues of new items, so people don't have to go digging through my social media to see what's new. it won't be used for anything else

also forgive any issues while I figure everything out, I've never used a mailing list service before!

‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ I'm starting up a ye ole fashioned mailing list! ☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

This is for anyone who wants first notification when my shop goes live - and of future crowdfunding efforts to turn my designs into enamel pins, embroidered patches, and possibly much more if those do well!

Signup also includes an optional interest poll with regards to types of merch, as I'd love to gauge what folks are interested in. Thank you for your consideration of my work!

The mailing list isn't real

Fuck it, I'm saying it. I don't believe you. None of you telling me the mailing list is real and sending pictures are telling the truth. I guess they're all fanmade fakes, because it literally isn't possible to sign up for the letter. There's a website that SAYS you can sign up for it, but it doesn't work. I've used multiple devices with multiple unique emails, one made explicitly and exclusivly for the newsletter. I signed up. I signed up again. I signed up again. Different device. Difference browser. My main email instead of the dedicated one. Different wifi networks. It's always the same thing. "We sent a confirmation I promise" and there's no confirmation. Not in promotions, not in social, not in spam, not in the standard inbox, not in all mail. There's nothing. No confirmation email. No newsletter. I don't think you're telling the truth anymore. For reference this is a post I made on reddit about the topic SIX MONTHS AGO: https://www.reddit.com/r/Undertale/comments/1c4n20z/is_the_mailing_list_even_real/ the best I could be told was "well it works for ME". Fuck you. I don't believe you anymore, I don't think it does.

Introducing the positivity mailing list!

Hiya! As you probably know if you're following this blog, I send a monthly positivity message to all of our followers. This is something I LOVE doing, but there are a lot of you now, and sending all the messages manually is beginning to take a lot of time. I'm also aware that some of you don't really care for the monthly messages.

So, I'm starting a mailing list! Being on it is *not* a commitment to answering the monthly messages, as I know many of you like keeping them in your inboxes. I'm simply hoping to save a bit of time by not sending the messages to those who don't want them.

Now, how do you get on the mailing list?

Well, first of all, you can comment here or send an ask to say if you want to opt in or out of it! I also won't start using it right away; I'll ask in the next few monthly messages if you want to keep getting them, and I might reach out more directly to people I don't hear from.

Thank you all so much for following the blog! This is honestly a wonderful problem to have and I did not expect that the blog would get so big when I started it. I'm looking forward to keeping on sending these messages and helping you guys share your own <3

He's drawn on lined school paper and has doodles around it saying "Best boy" with hearts. It's been cropped from a larger image as a teaser. End image ID.]

I was reminded during the write in last night that I should plug my mailing-list more often so here's why you should sign up!

YOU GET FREE STUFF WHEN YOU SIGN UP: If you like reading about mythology, legends, fairy tales, folklore, you get an exclusive lore document about the world of Runaways!

SERIOUSLY THO THE LORE: I have an extensive analysis talking about the difference between adapting a story in the public domain vs taking inspiration for world building purposes. This document is 16 pages long, and it includes reference numbers to the Stith Thompson tale type index, illustrations, and in-universe "field journal" excerpts. I'm super proud of this meta and genuinely don't talk about it enough.

YOU GET EXCERPTS: I don't post my final draft type work publicly anymore due to the AI scraping, but the mailing list gets to see things like song lyrics and full passages before anyone else.

YOU GET EARLY UPDATES AND BEHIND THE SCENES: I've got a lot of big projects in the works I've been tight-lipped about on social media for various reasons, but the mailing list gets to know what's actually going on IRL and what's coming up.

YOU GET SPECIAL PRIVILEGES: Want to see me cover a topic on my blog? Ask me directly! Want to get dibs on ARCs, preorders, see the cover design and possible illustrations, and other big updates associated with the Runaways release? Signing up is free.

I ONLY EMAIL YOU ONCE A MONTH: I swear I don't have the bandwidth for anything more than that.

Many moons ago, when (I think it was) the fifth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was airing on TV, I decided it might be fun to join some mailing lists dedicated to the show, so I'd have more people to talk about the show with. (Mailing lists were pre-social media vehicles for fandom, somewhere between USENET and MySpace; imagine a chain of comments on a Tumblr post, but it's sent to you in email.) It definitely let me talk to more people about a show that I loved, but it also taught me that online fandom can take just as easily as it gives. [SPOILERS if you're just starting to watch the show, i think it might be having a minor resurgence atm.]

It wasn't a terribly negative experience. I didn't get bullied or even have my ideas shit on. That season had the show's typical mystery of what's the deal with this season's Big Bad and how are Buffy and the Scoobies going to defeat them, but it also had the mystery of Buffy's previously unseen sister, Dawn. Where did she come from? Howcome all the characters act like she's been there all along when she totally hasn't been? Et cetera, et cetera, et wtf.

There had been cryptic hints dropped in the previous season (Little Miss Muffet, counting down from 7-3-0), but they were very cryptic. Babylon 5 had concluded not too long ago, and HBO's mainstreaming of the "tv show as novel" concept had not quite kicked into gear yet, so nerdy fannish brains were hungry for a well-planned-out tv narrative to sink their teeth into. This mailing list was full of speculation, sometimes based on those aforementioned hints, sometimes based on the bits of Latin and German text seen in the opening credits (the show is full of mystical tomes), to all those sorts of background details and clever quips that supposedly have hidden meanings. You know how it can get.

Of course I had my own theories, which I do not remember. That's suspiciously convenient, because I do remember that they were wrong. (Good job, super ego. You saved me from an embarrassing memory for once. That doesn't mean we're okay about all the other stuff.) Whatever my wrong predictions were, it really bugged me when they turned out to be wrong. And before they were proved to be wrong, it also bugged me when I would watch the show and someone else's theory, usually one I didn't like so much, would pop into my head. Oh, that one character did that thing that supposedly proves that such-and-such will happen. There was a mention of that so-called clue that means Dawn will turn out to be whatever annoying thing that one poster said that I didn't like. My pet theory being wrong was just the stink on top of the turd pie.

So at the end of that season, I thought, this deeper involvement in fandom has made the show less fun to watch. And that sucked, because I really liked that show. I'd found it at the beginning, and my enjoyment of it had grown from a very simplistic "hey, there's an attractive lady kicking vampires" to a real appreciation of all the character growth and the good acting and the smart metaphors and the playing with tropes, all the stuff that makes a tv show good. And one of my best friends had recently gotten into the show, though they were still catching up via my obsessive video taping (a lost art, folks). All that enjoyment was diminished, if only a bit, by my participation is a particular aspect of fandom. I unsubbed from the mailing lists and decided I wouldn't go down that path again.

Obviously, I didn't completely give up on online fandom, because here I am. But I have tried to be much more careful in how I engage with that fandom. Speculation isn't for me. It might be for you. Digging into behind-the-scenes details, and examining statements that creators have made about a story is not for me. It might be for you. What is for me is finding those stories--whatever medium they may be told in--that appeal to me, taking them in, letting myself get lost in the details that catch my attention, talking about those things with friends, and occasionally posting something here. Similar vibes seem to attract each other here. Most of the interaction is just a like, which I can interpret as appreciation for the thing that I enjoy or maybe my rambling about it, and that's nice. When folks do reply with more than a like, it's almost always thoughtful and written in a chill, conversational way.

I reckon the moral is, it's worthwhile to notice how your interaction with fandom affects your enjoyment of the art that brought you there in the first place, and it can be helpful to tailor that interaction so that you get the most positive and the least negative out of it.

Hey! Do You Want to Be Added to A Stranger Things Fanfic Mailing List?! Read Below!

Hi, in case you missed it, I made a post about creating a mailing list for people to receive my fics straight to them.

This is just in case KOSA gets passed and Ao3 and Tumblr become places that I cannot share my writing on anymore. But also, it would be fun to send out my works, so we're gonna try this out.

Please read all information on the form I'm sharing. It includes important details about the ships that I write (or may write), choosing works that are explicit if you're a minor (and why I won't send them in physical mail form—only if you're a minor), if you want to send things back to me (your own writing, artwork, whatever) how to address the envelope, and so on and so forth.

This project is being manned by just me. I am one person. This already took me several hours to download hard copies of my completed works, set up this form, and set up my email inbox. Please be polite, understanding, and patient with me. That's all I ask.

Please fill out the form with complete honesty! I am trusting you to give me correct and accurate information. Please note:

Your information that you provide will be kept under lock and key, filed away, and I will be the only person viewing (sans a postman, possibly). If you live outside of the United States of America, I am not able to send physical copies of my works at this time—this is just due to expense costs.

That's all for now, I think! If you have questions/concerns/comments, either DM me here or shoot me an email using the address given in the Google Form.

This form will close on March 1st, 2024 at 8pm PST! If you miss it, you can reach out to me, but I cannot guarantee how fast I will respond.

Much love! <3

EDIT: THE FORM IS NOW CLOSED, BUT WILL REOPEN AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE!

The tags on this post are for reach for the people this pertains to. Apologies for how I have to use the tagging system. I want this to reach the maximum amount of people it needs to. Thank you for understanding! &lt;3
