Hello,I am Amira from gaza, 23 years old, and the breadwinner for my family after my father's death. My mother has a weak immune system and suffers from the widespread diseases. We were displaced to southern Gaza after the heavy shelling, and our home was completely destroyed🍉🍉. Now, we are living in tents for displaced people.

Please help us by donating or sharing the link to our donation campaign to escape this danger and return to a safe life. May God bless you and reward you 🙏🙏.

Sincerely,

Amira

Apparently much-needed reminder that reposting artists' art (by saving the images or screenshotting them and reuploading them yourself) on other platforms without the artists' expressed permission and without credit is theft and an insult to their passion and craft. You are profiting (in views, in attention, in feedback) from someone else's work and ideas, who do not get that feedback for sharing their creation.

If you are an art reposter, you are a thief and I have no respect for you.

I'm noticing an uptick in comments complaining that most of the current WIR fandom content is Turbo instead of the other characters and, like... you guys know you can search other characters by their specific tags, right??? Or exclude Turbo from search results by temporarily blacklisting him in your filtered tags?

Idk, it's just weird to me to be discouraging towards people making fandom content just because it's not the specific content you want to see, like, it's ok to want to see other content, but complaining about how other people aren't catering to your tastes enough instead of just making the content you want to see yourself is kinda bad vibes, y'know?? (And that's not to say that I think those comments are intended out of malice of course, I really don't think they are, I just wanted to point out that it can come off as a little entitled, as well as discouraging towards people who just want to draw Turbo, which is something that should be fine if that's what they want to do. Fandom should be fun for everybody, and there's lots of tools available to curate your experience with it!)

I think if you're a huge Sonic fan it's perfectly fine and valid to have critiques about the series and the way the writers handle it, because like. Y'know. It's healthy and shit to be able to critique your interests, even the ones you have the biggest attachment to. But if it's getting to a point where you're wishing the loss of a job, physical harm, or even death on people who have been creatively involved in the series because they "ruined it" then you need to dial it way wayyy back and also maybe get a hobby and perhaps seek therapy

Brain: Here is a fully fleshed out idea for five comic pages plus an alternate ending and bonus material!

Me: Oh, cool, so I can sketch it all out real quick, clean it up a little, and then post it in just a couple days?

Brain: NO

Me: ...Excuse me?

Brain: Ink and color it.

Me: .......................That will take weeks.

Brain: Do it, coward

Me: Nope. It's going to be a cleaned up sketch comic.

Brain: You can lie to your hands all you want, but I'll be the one making them move.

In the end, it was not a cleaned up sketch comic.

and before anyone asks, yes it is narilamb

For folks who buy/sell characters

I've seen things go either way (tho mostly one way in my personal experience) and I wanted to see what the general consensus was. Do you think it's fair game to add your own art's worth? Or is it an underhanded way of price gouging a character? Vote to decide! And ofc Reblog for larger sample pls same as all polls lol

[kennys-parka-jacket]

Tbh I'm glad that sp artists dont do that "reblogs > likes" thing. I was a little worried when a few people put it on their posts a while back, but it died off pretty quickly.

what are your thoughts on the differences between Early Access characters and full release? Did you play it?

I don't play early access games. I don't have the time for it, believe it or not, and I also don't want to burn myself out on (usually) shittier versions of games without experiencing the full scope. If someone wants me to beta test their game, they can pay me.

I played the first Darkest Dungeon in the earliest patches, and it's forever tainted my perception of early access games for me personally.

That said, I can only go off of what people say about those versions of the characters and that is exceedingly difficult without just watching playthroughs of those various versions. Why? There are plenty of people who have their heads on straight, but I see enough mythologizing of cut content, older sketches of things, etc. for me to be wary of relying on second-hand accounts. And I definitely don't have time to watch playthroughs of an obsolete version of this video game lol.

Anywho, my point is: I like the game at release. Thinking about what was and what could have been is as useful to me as rocks in my shoes. I prefer to discuss what we have.

y'know i mentioned it yesterday at the art party, but uh!! jsyk, my messages/ask box is open if y'all ever want my help redlining charr artwork or if you got any questions about how to draw charr, i could always draft up a tutorial and frankly all my old art advice could use a refresher 💦

i'm by no means a photorealistic artist and my interpretation of charr may differ from the myriad of interpretations of charr out there, but! i have fun with anatomy, i enjoy giving critique and i am Always happy to indoctrinate encourage more people to draw charr, they're tough but fun!

Happening this week:

We've got three deadlines coming up!

First, artist and beta sign-ups will be closing on April 23rd. This is your last chance to participate in this year's Bang!

Artist sign-ups are here, and beta sign-ups are here.

Second, the deadline for the first check-in (also April 23rd) is fast approaching! We're requiring all authors to submit an Ao3-style fic summary and a fic outline to the google form posted in #event-announcements on the discord. The form is live, and will remain open until midnight PST on that day. As always, please feel free to ask a moderator if you have any questions. We've made a google drive folder of summary/outline examples, which can also be found in the event announcements channel.

Looking to the future, we've got the Artist Choice Period coming up directly after the first check-in ends. More information on that soon!

Finally: fic assignments will not be first come, first served, so please don't worry about catching the artist choice sheet as soon as it goes like on April 24th. It'll be open until April 30th, and matching won't begin until every artist's choices are in.

I put this in the tags at first, but I think some people need a reminder for real. Reading fic and seeing fanart is a privilege not a right. A PRIVILEGE. Treat authors and artists with respect, most of them spend countless hours working on their craft for FREE and often little to no recognition. They do not owe you anything and you don't get to dictate when they should post or update. Some people seem to get really entitled in fandom spaces. This also goes for game mods.

When reading fanfic keep in mind that for professional literature: 

Short story: under 7,500

Novelette: between 7,500 and 17,500

Novella: between 17,500 and 40,000

Novel: over 40,000

Fics over 40k are literally a novel written and shared for free.  If you have written a 40k+ fic, you have literally written a novel.
