Amazon Unveils a [Horrifying] Fanfic Publishing Platform

Today, Amazon announced the imminent launch of its newest endeavor, Kindle Worlds, a publishing platform for fanfiction. When I read the announcement, I was horrified, then angry, then sad. I want to take a moment to explain why this is such a tragedy.

This is REALLY IMPORTANT guys. AO3 is so special as a platform. Don’t get suckered in by shiny features or whatever!

[thenerdyindividual]

If you don’t feel like reading after the read more, here is the most important stand out of Kindle World’s TOS.

“By using the platform, authors give all rights to the work to Amazon, who can then license your elements to other authors with no compensation to the original poster.”

If you want to retain rights to your work, don’t use this site. Stick to AO3.

Got identical asks from two different blogs with two different fundraisers on them, dont donate to these unless you can find more information about them to verify theyre real

[buddhawithoutorgans]

I'm glad other people are posting about this cos the same thing happened to me

Honestly if you received a msg like this coming from a blog with nothing but a fundraiser (and similar fundraisers, which is also very odd) you should probably ignore it. Neither of these blogs replied when I asked why I received the same msg from three different blogs for for 2 different fundraisers

[donationscamwarning]

It appears that some accounts are duplicating fundraisers word for word and reposting them with new payment information.

Reverse image searching the photos if you're on desktop may help find the original source

[donationscamwarning]

Reblogging this again because I did a little digging and found a pattern of similar blogs making distinct, separate fundraisers using the same PayPal accounts

There is no way to direct funds from multiple donation posts into one PayPal.me link and know which payment was meant for which fundraiser, so this is clearly a scam - the OPs don't care which fundraiser gets the money because the fundraisers aren't real (they're probably stolen from other platforms like Facebook)

obviously if I provide a link Tumblr will hide this reply but most of the posts on this blog are about this phenomenon. I've made something of a masterpost listing all the blogs involved so please check it out before you donate or boost a fundraiser from someone you don't know

I'd recommend reporting these blogs since they are demonstrably fraudulent

[egberts]

I'm so glad this is going around because I got a suspiciously large amount of these and they were all just a little... off. I knew it was fishy. This is literally so evil, people will be afraid to donate to legitimate causes because of things like this. These have already made me hesitant to share posts when asked. 😡

[lesbianshepard]

i know people are calling picrews cringe and all but i can not hate the simple joy of making and dressing up a little cartoon person and then looking at it and going “it’s me! :D”

[crylements]

[jpinesart]

why does nobody talk about the adhd symptom where you KNEW this was gonna happen. i’m TELLING you- look, i’m... i like everything, i’m a great cool. i feel a good, but you make me angry! rememb- ..no! you remember..? the first time we met... you wa- you walk in- i’m on my shift, and you come in, and you got a dick slip in your... in your HEV suit.

[respectfully]

i really can't stand this anymore oh my god

so i have made a few posts talking about this, but my mom is Making Ultimatiums that are going to fuck me over financially just for the hell of it. i am currently unemployed, receiving no more benefits, and i have absolutely no savings. at this point i have a negative balance on my bank account and i have nothing much i can do about it. i am a trans man with adhd, ptsd, and severe depression so it has become inhospitable in my current living environment, and i need to move, except i currently live in one of the most expensive places in the US and i don't know how to drive. basically, i need to buy a bike, get a plane ticket, and find a job. so this is a mutual aid request but also like. if any of you know of any trans people who know of any trans safe living areas that are not wildly expensive, please message me!

anyway i have talked for too long, here is my info

cash.app: $luvlandfrog

paypal.me: /ezrabanksy

[respectfully]

1/23 update: my bank balance is still at -$300 and the notes on this post have slowed completely

please reblog if you can't donate and what not

IM NOT GONNA ASSUME ANYTHING BUT…NEW GAY SHOW TO BE OBSESSED WITH?? COMING SOON??

I’m ready for my catradora/lumity ass to be ~fed~ ✨🌈✨🌈✨

[transxfiles]

lumberjanes is based off of a comic created by shannon watters, noelle stevenson, and brooklyn allen, it’s about a group of girls who attend a camp for hardcore lady types and go on adventures together, solving mysteries. in the comics, we see: 

two lesbian protagonists in a healthy, loving relationship

a trans girl protagonist who is openly trans and happy with herself, and just another one of the girls

various girls who are butch lesbians or coded as butch lesbians

various girls who are gender nonconforming

an ace girl who enters a relationship with another girl, and they discuss the ace girl’s boundaries and her girlfriend respects them

a nonbinary character who starts out going to the boys camp but then realizes they’d prefer to go by they/them pronouns and attend the girl’s camp. the trans girl helps them with their journey, and they discuss gender together!

a background relationship between the camp director and her ex girlfriend - they’re still in love but they have different beliefs about the magic of the forest, so they stay separated and pining

a girl who has two dads

various other background canon lgbt/lgbt-coded characters! 

please support lumberjanes. read the comics if you’re interested (they’re sweet, cute, and funny, and the arcs are wonderful! it’s a kids comic but it’s really for all ages) and continue to show support for the show. there are even traditional books (written at the middle-grade level) if you want to check those out. overall, lumberjanes in general is a great piece of media and i’m so excited to see how the show turns out!

[enbychuya]

OH HELL YES

[xxfag-with-fangsxx-deactivated2]

I GOTTA WATCH THIS

[fuckyoufrnk]

YES I OWN LIKE ALL THE COMIC COLLECTIONS AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[romansroys]

this scene deserved at least 10 emmys 

[norahastuff]

What’s hilarious about this is that they didn’t even really have an ending planned for this scene. They took it to the network censor person and said there’s going to be a lot of guns and blood is this ok? And she was like hmmm…well could the whole thing be about gun safety? And Dan was like ok sure, because it wasn’t about anything 10 minutes ago. 

[babey]

can we PLEASE talk about the google scorpion emoji

While Apple Sauce seems to have people’s attention

[kitschie]

i genuinely hate when people will make a long post and then put a tl;dr at the bottom that just says “go back and read the fucking post it’s not that long” LIKE,,,,,, TL;DRs ARE ACCESSIBILITY RESOURCES YOU ASSHOLES???? LITERALLY IN THE SAME VEIN AS IMAGE DESCRIPTIONS??????? you HONESTLY do not have to be such a fucking dick about it that you would take an accessibility resource and then twist it just so you can be passive aggressive, honey your neurotypical is showing

[kitschie]

taking a tl;dr and instead of summarizing the post you use it to say “just read the fucking post it’s not that hard” is exactly the same as taking an image description and instead of describing the image you say “go look at the picture and use your eyeballs dumbass” actually

[kitschie]

i get that things like racism and antisemitism and lgbt+phobia and exclusionism and terf rhetoric and all that are very important topics. i get that they need to be talked about. what i DON’T get is how you feel the need to be ableist when talking about these things.

people with things like adhd and dyslexia genuinely find it difficult to read your five paragraph PSA. people who are still learning your language will find it difficult to read your post. tl;drs genuinely help these people. keep that in mind. if you want to spread the message consider EVERYONE who might want to read it.

tl;dr: don’t fucking use an accessibilty resource to be passive aggressive to people just because you’re mad about the thing you’re talking about.

[kitschie]

i think it would be pretty fucking poggers of yall if you could reblog this actually i’d like this post to reach the people i’ve seen using tl;drs like that

[jidem]

If someone could explain to my self what tl;dr are the abbreviation of, I would appreciate. Like. Please. Tell me. What does those letters stand for?

[datsderbunnyblog]

Too long; didn’t read.

[pure]

everyone forgot that mlk jr. said he hated white moderates

[pure]

he said white moderates were a greater stumbling block to freedom than the kkk. mlk jr said that.

[swtrgy-deactivated20250202]

yo can someone please tell me if this is accurate? Because that’s fucked up

[regularlesbian]

yes and he was right

[projectburnt]

read the thing for yourself https://web.cn.edu/kwheeler/documents/Letter_Birmingham_Jail.pdf

Most relevant paragraph 

“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councillor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says, “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically feels that he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time; and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.”

[rev-krissy]

He wasn’t wrong. It is, sadly, still true today.

[blessedarethebinarybreakers]

“…who is more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.” We talk about this in seminary all the time: peace that is won by one side holding its foot on the other side’s throat is not peace. When we pray for peace, we must pray for peace with justice, never at the cost of justice, made by silencing the oppressed.

Fellow white people, don’t just reblog or share mlk jr.’s more palatable “hate cannot drive out hate” type quotes and ignore the fact that he also said challenging things like this. We must hold ourselves accountable. We must not be lukewarm. And there is never a “more convenient season” to act to secure rights for all people – the time is now.

[sourcedumal]

He also had a speech to the APA that openly called out white people for caring more about “riots” and damaged property than the fact that Black people were suffering under institutional violence.

He called out white people regularly for their lack of empathy for Black lives and their continuance to spout respectability at Black people than hold the white policymakers accountable for their racism.
