Roundup for Week 51 of 2022

Fri, 23 Dec 2022 09:35:22 GMT

These posts are my weekly 'round up' of the things I've been up to and the things I've seen in fandom over the past week.

Reading

Writing

Wrote the ending for What's In A Name, 1500 words of wincest PWP.

Sometimes after finishing a PWP I'll think 'wow, vamp, you're a fucking perv, have a little class', but then I slap myself because that kind of thinking leads to writers block and that's never fun.

So fuck yeah, I'm gonna write a bunch of porn, because porn is hard to write, and if I can write porn I can write anything*.

* except maybe really long things cos my attention span sucks balls

Watching

Kindred. So good.
The Midnight Club. WTF is up with these series that make me cry?

Fandom

Some fucker is publishing other people's fanfiction on Amazon. I feel sorry for people who'd get suckered into paying for fic that's available for free on AO3, but I'm fucking horrified that someone thinks it's perfectly fine to steal fic off AO3! And publish it! For money!

There is so much wrong here.

Anyway, at the link above, there's a call for help to identify the authors so they can file DMCAs.

Google is blocking AO3 in Germany due to pressure from the German government over some new 'protect the children' legislation.

Don't use google, people. DuckDuckGo is right there and you can use bangs, which are really nifty. Check out the AO3 bangs!

Social Media

There is so much twitter fuckery going on at the moment I can't keep up. TL;DR elon banned mastodon, masto urls were apparently malware, then any competing social media links were against the rules, and then they weren't, also 51% of twitterers told elon to go away and now he's quitting but probably his investors told him to get the fuck out cos he's just doing crazy shit and haemorrhaging $$$.

I'm finding it hard to fathom why anyone is still using that site, to be quite honest.

Website Updates

Removed fandom.community from the Big List of Fandom Mastodon Instances because it's shutting down.

Redesigned the site because now I'm posting fic there I noticed the reading experience was Not Good.
