Reblogging For Anyone Who Needs This.

Reblogging for anyone who needs this.

My own AO3 account is purely used for reading so I probably won’t need a friend to gift mine to, but others may find this useful for forward planning.

P.S. If anyone knows how html works on this website and is willing to teach me how to do strikethroughs etc on here, or can link me to a post with a list of the different html codes for Tumblr, I’d be very, very grateful!

N.B. I think bold is just using the asterisks on either side of the word - or at least that usually works for me - but the rest is a mystery 😟.

Sorry if it's a morbid question but I'm at that age when death is coming closer each day, and I'm wondering what to do with my fics on AO3 and tumblr should I die one day. Of course I can put them in a will or get someone's help. But me writing fanfics is like a secret identity that none of my family or friends know. They're not into it and I don't think they'll value them either. They'll probably trash them but I'll love for anyone to adopt them if they like to. So any ideas or suggestions?

Not morbid at all! Planning for the future isn’t depressing, it’s planning. Taking care of something that’s on your mind will only make you feel better about things, anyway :)

As for the answer to your question, AO3 has exactly what you’re looking for: Fannish Next of Kin. This is the person that you decide you want to have take care of your works after you die. They’re a fandom friend you trust, but you don’t have to know them in person. You don’t even need to know their real name. You just have to trust that they’ll follow your wishes after you’re gone.  

In the event of your death, the Archive will transfer your account into that person’s control and they can manage it on your behalf. 

For more information, read that link above. Just one more way that AO3 looks out for the “Our Own” part of the Archive :D.

Where I am there’s also another app called Olio which works in much the same way I believe? If one app isn’t available in your area, the other may work?

so

we have this app called toogoodtogo where restaurants/cafes/bakeries/hotels and so on sell their leftovers for really cheap to reduce foodwaste

i got all of this for €4 from starbucks

So

bless

I’m a combination of the first and the third. Mostly I ❤️ posts to bookmark them for later reference but sometimes I just like/agree with a post (usually if it’s particularly cute, humorous or positive).

there are four kinds of tumblr users:

likes posts as bookmarks, to find them again later

likes posts as receipts, so they know they’ve reblogged them already

likes every post they see and enjoy because that’s what it’s for

has no liked posts at all, is possibly a cryptid

Anyone who needs the answer to @nandamai’s question please see the comments. It’s a serious issue and one that could see AO3 taken off the internet if not adhered to.

I’ll add: especially as I sign up for NaNo almost every year and most of the time I spend all month staring at a blank page/screen trying to get the words out and failing miserably.

If you are producing words, be they for an original story/poem/script/lyrics or for a fanfic, song fic/filk etc. you’re doing awesome!

Writers!

A moment of your time, please x

I've seen a few of those 'fanfic writers aren't real writers' posts going around and goddamn it's frustrating. You write? You're a writer. That goes for any writing.

Every time you plan, plot, brainstorm, note-take, write, edit? You're getting better at writing. You're improving. You're building your skillset. And I couldn't be prouder.

Don't let anyone tell you different, okay?

Have a great day x

Just a heads up

You know those “donate by watching” videos going around for BLM? I’ve made a list of all of em I could find. 8 of the 28 I found have been removed from youtube. This happened around the same time I believe, as they were all there mere hours ago.

Not a Bot, just a lurker rather than poster. Fandom old in too many fandoms to count (and been burned many times, hence preferring to lurk). Likes: natural history, antique jewellery, fashion I can’t wear and bits and pieces of other stuff.
