    Voldemort being a MOD and Time-Travelling in 1933 to take revenge on everyone who wronged him- and taking his younger-self and Harry for the ride in the meanwhile (more in part two, cause i'll (defo) make one when i have time ( ◡‿◡ *) )

    INSPIRED BY Ouroboros by @metalomagnetic (the orphanage burning scene of course (//▽//))

    ALSO WANDLESS AVADA KEDAVRA (just because i like green)

    And the link for the ao3 Artbook, where Tumblr doesn't butcher the quality of the larger works

  • For anyone worried because they write the same trope more than once: I love that shit. I will love that first one and I will still be excited for the thirtieth one. Let these idiots do the same thing over and over again. We deserve that.

  • I always struggled with charatcer outlines or sheets because there were always stupid questions like “what’s their favorite color” or “what’s their favorite memory.” Stuff that would never come up…

    My script teacher said you only ever needed to know a handful of things:

    What they want. What they need. What’s stopping them. And what they learn.

  • “ao3 should have an algorithm” ao3 should continue only giving me exactly what I ask for which happens because I know how to use the search, sort, and filter functions

  • You don’t own fanfics. They’re inherently public domain because they aren’t your IP. Agree or disagree with AI, there are no grounds for “protection” from AI because it isn’t your IP to begin with. That’s what you chose when you chose this medium

  • Oh dear.

    Okay, you get an answer, because at least you took the effort to write your ask out properly, even if you are hiding behind the grey, sunglassed circle.

    Do I, or any fanfic author for that matter, have any legal claims to our work? No, not really, no. (Although if someone took a fic, filed off the serial number–deleted the fandom specific elements–, and then had it published for financial gain, yeah, that would be a case.)

    BUT

    Fandoms are built on a social contract that says we respect each others work, the effort people put into their art. We don’t steal or disrespect the work of our peers. By feeding people’s fanworks to AI you both steal and disprect it, and we need to make people realize that before it’s too late–before fandom falls apart, because there will be no more real, actual fanworks.

    Disrepectfully,

    Orlissa

    (i can’t believe I have to say this)

  • Also this is not true. You do in fact have the copyright to the specific writing you did in a fic, because that’s not how copyright law works. Like this is not a grey area.

    People who write IP content for corporations give up their copyright on a contractual basis–the company wants writing they can sell about characters/settings they own without getting entangled in royalty obligations etc, so they hire people. Who sign contracts saying they don’t own what they write as part of that job.

    That’s why you don’t own Star Wars stuff you wrote for Disney; you specifically agreed not to own it.

    Writing for IP you don’t own leaves you in a position where you can’t legally monetize it (without taking out the Owned parts ad rebranding), but it absolutely does not automatically cede or void copyright. That is super not a thing.

    SUPER not a thing, I cannot say this enough.

    I can’t sell my Batman fic, but neither can DC Comics without my duly authorized consent. Because they own Batman, but not the prose I composed about him.

    Do not perform that kind of massive corporate overreach for them. Holy shit. Do they not own enough.

  • It’s fascinating that this misconception of copyright still exists. Haven’t we all seen the posts on here where authors beg fans to please not send them fanfic of their works? They’re not doing that because they feel like it, they do that because fans legally own their words and ideas, and an author who takes them even unintentionally can in fact end up in real legal trouble for taking something that’s not theirs. It doesn’t matter whether they own the canon.

  • Masturbation Midsummer Bingo

    image

    I may have made a promise that I would do this once I scrubbed out of "Last Drabble Writer Standing" and here we are.

    What is Masturbation Midsummer Bingo?

    This is a low-key challenge created to fight back against Puritanism in fandom spaces. You simply try and get a bingo however you can, be it with drabbles, fics, art whatever. The idea is to flood fandom with masturbation-positive works because it's something to be celebrated not shamed. Pleasure is a basic human right and no one should be denied that.

    How long does it go for?

    From now to the end of August. It's super low key.

    Is there a collection?

    No. We're just doing this for fun.

    Will you be crossposting?

    I will cross post any Masturbation Midsummer content that I get tagged in and if I miss you just message me.

    Is this only for a specific fandom?

    No. I primarily post in the Harry Potter fandom and there are some fantasy themed squares but if you want to do it in a different fandom that's totally fine.

    How did you come up with the Bingo squares?

    I brainstormed a whole heap of them and used a random number generator to put them in the board.

    Go crazy everyone!

  • This looks like a lot of fun @sniperjade love it 💗
