No joke I was a manager at Hot Topic during peak Twilight craze and let me tell you it was ~ w y l d ~

Headquarters told us to stop putting size stickers or sensors on the new shirts that would come in, just put them out as fast as we could and literally people would rip piles from our arms!!!

like we had a midnight release “party” for ppl who preordered their copy of Twilight but like it got out of hand and 1200 ppl showed up. we had to assign someone to be security for the Edward cardboard cutout because ppl were biting it

I have been in a mini hibernation state since starting Nanowrimo this year and I wanted to say that I am working on Criminal Minds stuff including all of the prizes from my 1500 follower celebration.

Also, I need to give some virtual hugs/ high fives/ bro nods to all the people who have reminded me that my writing is worth reading! xoxo

Welcome to all you new faces and supporters!

if I see anyone posting anything that isnt catholic stained glass photos after the 17th I’m reporting you to the staff on sight

Supernatural Fan Fic/Art Rec Site

I’ve been thinking about this for a while and now seems like the right time to consider it further. Is anyone interested in collaborating on a site to host fan fic/art recs for SPN to include threaded discussions? Knowing there are many, many variables to a project like this, I understand there’s a discussion to be had. Just wanted to see if there’s any interest. I might do it anyway bc it’s fun, but it’s more fun when more people collab! xox – MJ

ETA: this site could also host things like Sinful Sundays @kittenofdoomage and Wet Panty Wednesdays, etc. – just a thought.

There is a certain comfort in knowing that the staff of tumblr continue to be as inept as always, its like that one friend we all have that has all the opportunities in the world but manages to mess it up every single time. Tumblr is still a unique platform on the web and instead of trying to take it to the next level their own incompetence can only allow them to struggle to achieve the most simple tasks. Guess the goal is to be completely obsolete rather than continue to grow and flourish. 

For fun, some of my favorite flagged posts from ARCHatlas:

i cant believe i ever read anything bad about Bohemian Rhapsody on tumblr and lukewarm reactions. i went in expecting something ‘okay’ at best because of some of the comments here.

instead what i got was the best movie I’ve seen in a very, VERY, long time.

don’t let anyone on tumblr downplay this movie for you if you are curious about seeing it. it will blow you away. it’s larger than life.

From someone who’s survived MySpace, livejournal, deviantart, and fanfiction.nets’ content purges and bad policy updates, here’s some advice on how to get through tumblr’s recent bullshit:

– don’t knee jerk delete. I know it’s tempting to peace out immediately but hang on and do the other steps first. Out right ghosting and erasing everything is how fandoms die.

– archive everything on your blog you want to keep

– tell your followers how they can archive and keep your work too. A lot of fic and art were only saved from ff.net and lj because other people saved it first. If you’re cool with other people saving your work for them to personally keep, let them know this. You can absolutely discourage reposting but I really do highly recommend you allow people to personally save fic and art they like and are worried will disappear forever. Digital Dark Ages are a real thing.

– tell people where you’re jumping ship to. Give links. Keep that info up, even if you’ve left the site.

– go through who you follow and find out where else you can follow them. Save their work if they’ll allow it. It’s tedious as hell but if you want to keep up with people on here clicking on their page to check in is the best way to do it.

– support places like ao3. This is exactly why ao3 asks for donations a few times a year. They are a 100% anti-purging, judgement free, ad free non profit run by an elected board and protected by lawyers. Places like ao3 literally save fandom so please continue to support them and other similar archives. This is exactly why ao3 is so important.

For example, here’s a post that explains and links for how to back up your blog

Also, go read the source policies and official Tumblr statements in addition to user analyses and reactions. It’s important to keep abreast of developments over time; staying informed is your power in this situation. Memes and reaction posts are funny and are a useful way to vent / provide commentary, but some of them create an inaccurate picture of what’s happening and should not be taken as evidence on their own of what developments have happened.

Hey friends, this might be helpful. For now you can find my fic at Ao3 and me at Twitter. I’m Incog_Ninja in both of those places.
