i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users
would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

The count down has begun! Less than 24 hours left to sign up for Camp Cartoon: Dynamic Duos! We won’t be able to take any more campers after March 28th at Midnight EDT!
Join us in this exciting collaborative writing gift event!!
Welcome, welcome, welcome! I'm just pleased as punch you're joining us for Camp Cartoon! Give this form a looksie and fill it out before Mar
We promised more details about this year's Camp Cartoon and we're just pleased as punch to announce the 2026 Theme:
Dynamic Duos!
Camp Cartoon will be open for sign-ups from March 15 - March 28. The event starts on April 1 and will run for six weeks, through May 15.
For this year's event, each camper will be paired up with another teammate to complete two prompts together. Teamwork really does make the dream work this year and we're excited to see what you all create!
When you sign up, you'll submit one prompt, along with info on what kind of stories you like to write (and what you can't write.) We'll use that to pair you up with your writing partner. Each team will get two prompts to write together over the course of the six week event.
Teams should aim for around 2.5k - 12k words for each story.
Below is what you can expect to see on the sign-up form. Please read through and let us know if anything doesn't make sense! We love questions, so send 'em our way!
Example sign up form. The actual form will be released on March 15th when sign-ups open.
Your Prompt (What a team will write for you):
Main character(s):
Primary relationship(s):
[please indicate if you prefer romantic, platonic, familial, or any]
Prompt in eight words or less: [examples: The Sides go to the beach. Logan and Remus make a discovery. Canonverse DRLAMP soulmates.]
Icks and Triggers: What do you NOT want to read in your story? (examples: no major character death, no u!Sides, no violence, etc.)

Anything else we should know when matching you with a teammate?

@tsseventhub, @sanders-sides-events, and Fanders everywhere, can you help us spread the word?
i say this jokingly of course, but the sentiment IS genuine, nothing but love and respect for our smut writers
and also, the way fanfic does smut is so interesting to me
it's pretty much the only medium where you will get deep, nuanced examinations of themes like life and death, religion and societal structures, where people drawn complex psychological profiles, lay bare all of their characters' neuroses, insecurities, and unspoken needs through the medium of pornography
and there's something so serious about it. I think humans have always loved smut and sex, and there's something unique about fanfiction's unashamed approach to it, about fanfic authors taking smut completely seriously as a tool in the storytelling toolbox just like anything else, sex as not something that is superfluous or forbidden or shameful, but something that is part of the vast array of human experience and deserves to be treated with the same seriousness and care as any other aspect of it
& idk how this will develop in the future with the rise of puritan sentiments in the wider culture, as more and more places on the internet ban or restrict explicit materials, if we stand at the precipice of a massive backslide
but I think that in 200 years, some literary scholar would be delighted to read today's smutty fanfic precisely because it is amateur and unpolished, a pure, raw expression of the writer's humanity unconcerned with marketability or mass appeal
so yeah. I'll print this smut on acid-free paper and build the book as solidly as I know how because I think there is inherent value to horny art, and it is worthy of archiving & I Must Preserve This Smut For Future Generations

If you vote, reblog. Y'all know Tumblr's not going to lift a finger to help spread this poll.
Don't know what all the fuss is about? Here's the info on last February's event:
Copied from the link Tumblr's being a little bratty about:
21 and up? Is this a spicy event?
Why yes, yes it, dear Nonnie!
Think of this as the After Hours club you go to after the Sleepy Bean Fanfic Café. The menu’s coming soon, as will an application for those who’d like to help tend bar.
Our bartenders will serve up the tastiest of drinks, all on request. Customers can pay for drinks with comments (more on that in a future post) with a very flexible schedule, so start keeping track of what Sanders Sides stories you’re reading so you can point us to your comments. (And so you can share what you’ve read.)
And, yes, this event is strictly for those 21 and up.

Are you gonna run the speakeasy next year? I would like to prepare.
I am undecided.
I would like to be flippant and say it's merely a lot of smut to read and check for tags, cw's, and such, but that's only part of the lift to run the event. There's only one Arizona after all. The Speakeasy is a lot to carry.
I suppose now would be a good time for an interest check, wouldn't it?
