Com essa onda de plágio nas capas e com todo mundo falando disso só quero dizer algumas coisas:
01. Não seja ingênuo o bastante pra achar que não dá pra perceber quando você plagia um designer.
Por mais """"genérico"""" que seja o estilo, conseguimos ver se teve ou não plágio.
02. Não ache que inspiração e plágio tem um linha tênue.
Não tem mesmo, são duas coisas completamente diferente. E, voltando ao item anterior, conseguimos ver isso sem dificuldade.
03. "Ah, mas eu me inspirei só na paleta de cores!"
Mas custa algo você falar isso? Sinalizar que teve "só" essa inspiração? Claro que não.
04. "Eu coloquei de quem me inspirei na descrição da postagem no portfólio."
A capa vai ficar só no portfólio? Ou ela vai ser usada em um lugar onde não tem como ver essa descrição? Todo mundo que ver essa capa vai saber que existe essa descrição?
Se a reposta for não, é pq você tem que colocar na capa também. Marcar na descrição é apenas pra informar ao capista que você se inspirou e dá ao seus seguidores, um link direto para o perfil da pessoa, sem que tenham que ficar caçando. Mas quando ela sai do seu portfólio, ainda tem que ter essa sinalização, afinal você não se inspirou apenas no Tumblr, né?!
Vejo muitos capistas fazendo isso sem notarem o absurdo que é e mesmo que você achei que está tudo bem, pense assim: no Tumblr sabem que eu fui a inspiração, mas no Spirit/Wattpad, que são os mais importantes, não sabem. Isso faz sentido pra vocês? Não ser creditado no lugar onde tem mais visibilidade?
05. Pressa nunca vai te levar a perfeição!
Eu sei que é frustrante tentar e tentar e achar que não tá saindo do lugar. Mas esse frase é mais que certa. Quem olha pra capa perfeita de um capista não sabe quanto esforço teve por trás, tanto da técnica quanto no aperfeiçoamento do estilo de edição.
Foram horas, anos e vários tipos de softwares que foram usados para chegar onde tá agora. E falo isso com propriedade, pq eu edito desde meus 10 anos (se não era 9), tenho 14 anos de experiência em edições.
Se hoje eu faço designers lindos, tem toda essa história por trás. E, mais que obviamente, eu não comecei fazendo obras de arte e nem hoje eu faço. Esse esforço de anos me fez a capista que sou hoje.
Para alguns, pode levar 30 anos, para outras 1 ano ou apenas alguns meses. Cada um tem seu tempo. Mas, eu nunca parei de aprender coisas, técnicas, estilos e formatos. E nunca vou parar. Eu fico frustrada, eu excluo todo meu progresso pq achei horrível e começo de novo. Eu desisto de fazer um estilo pq eu não consigui fazer a minha ideia inicial. E isso é normal.
Então pare de achar que se escorar nos outros vai alavancar suas habilidades. No final ainda vai ter que aprender do zero, de qualquer forma.
06. Eu não tenho Photoshop, por isso não sou bom/boa.
Como eu disse, eu testei vários softwares/apps de edição. Minha noção de cores, posicionamento de elementos, formatação etc não vieram com o Photoshop que inclusive, comecei a usar no final de 2016 (6 anos depois de começar a editar).
Ele me ajudou e ajuda muito ainda. É o melhor software de edição, mas eu mesma não sei usar tudo nele. Assim como só tenho contato com uma versão mais antiga (CS6 de 2012) e não sei usar as mais novas.
Há tantos capistas maravilhosos que utilizam o Ibis Paint e editam apenas com os dedos. Por mais que o software ajuda muito, ele não faz o capista.
Se eu lembra de mais alguma coisa, eu falo depois!

AO3 IS IN TROUBLE IF CALIFORNIAN AGE VERIFICATION LAW PASSES
An upcoming Age verification bill centered in California will be voted on Monday-- And as always,instead of actually protecting kids, it will lead to more online censorship and privacy risks, as it will force websites hosting to verify their users age by sending their ID, your browser history would be linked to it. if you live California, call your reps and tell them to oppose the bill AB3080 as it highly unconstitutional.
They also deem LGBT content harmful to minors, as well as mentions of weapons and tobacco, putting them on the same level as NSFW content.
Since AO3 headquarters reside in California, much like Reddit, Twitter,Discord and Youtube (and others) who knows how bad the effects would be. Instead of just effecting Californians (even then its concerning.) the effects would be US or even worldwide. VPNs wont help.
Please take actions here (a script is included to help you) https://www.defendonlineprivacy.com/ca/action.php
Find your rep here https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/
You can also send faxes using this https://faxzero.com/
If you don't live in California, please talk about this,tag your friends and urge others to take actions, make posts and tweets using the hashtags AB3080 and NoOnAB3080
More info HERE
Edit: Lots of this information is outdated for a more recent post click here.
Voting has been delaying until Monday May 13th 2024

Alright, to ao3's soon to be arriving Wattpad Refugees, a basic guide to general user culture:
1.) Unlike Wattpads vote system that let's you like each chapter, the ao3 equivalent kudos only allows one per work. Everyone is generally quietly annoyed about this. To engage with each chapter, you're heavily encouraged to comment. Trust me, it makes people's day.
2.) Ao3 has no algorithm. By default it's latest updated work first. You can find things to your taste through searches, filters and tags.
3.) 'No archive warnings apply' and 'user has chosen not to use archive warnings' mean two very different things. No archives warnings means the work is free from any content that could require a warning tag (character death, graphic depictions of violence, non-con, etc). User has chosen not to use archive warnings means it could contain any of the warning content, be it hasn't been explicitly tagged. Treat it like an allergen. No archive warnings apply is allergen free. User has chosen not to use archive warnings, may contain traces or whole chunks of the allergen. If you're likely to have a bad reaction, maybe don't take the risk.
4.) Speaking of warnings, ao3 has very few restrictions on the type of work that's allowed. Whatever your personal thoughts or feelings on that are, thats how the site is. You're likely to run across some dark subject matters and a lot of people are uncomfortable with reading that. You're well within your rights not like these works and have your opinion on whether they should be allowed, but harassing the authors of such works (or any works) is more likely to come back on you than them. Ao3 operates on a strong policy of 'don't like, don't read'. Use the tagging system to your full advantage to only engage with the kind of works you want to see.
We look forward to welcoming you all and seeing the fantastic works you create. Happy writing!

Reblog for a larger sample size!
No "show results", if you're not a fanfic writer just be patient.
I saw a post about an anon saying it was embarrasing to have an ao3 account in your 30s (it's absolutely not), so I want to do a poll and see what the age range actually is.

This is what happened when a fanfic site is profit driven. Wattpad sucks 😞
The email/DM from Wattpad is so condescending. Imagine pressuring writers to update and work while they are doing it for free and fun. Also, the discovery? Algorithm? Of Wattpad looks like a stressful popularity contest 😑

Truly ironic that people tried to defend the Wattpad purges because; "They're only getting rid of the illegal stuff!" right up until Wattpad did the exact same fucking thing and got rid of all their standard softcore queer porn too.
(Bonus points for the fact that they're all now flocking to AO3 and trying to force a space for themselves there under the demand that AO3 changes it very purpose and policies.)

you can pry happy endings from my cold-dead hands. It can be the most heart stopping, gut wrenching fic that has every existed and I will read every drop of it if I get my happy ending. I have had enough painful endings in real life, give me happy in my fantasy world. It can be at the last second, it can be a single sentence, even a single word. Give me all the angst and hurt in the world for 500,000 words, but please give me the comfort I need in the ending. please and thank you.
#do I love angst? yes. but also need to be happy in my delulu world for five seconds#sometimes you need domestic fluff to soothe the burn#fan fiction#ao3#hurt/comfort#steddie#stranger things#lumax#byler#ronance#steve harrington#Eddie Munson#archive of our own#wattpad#robin buckley#steve x eddie#happy endings
