Out of Oakhurst and onto the Ghostlight Express bound for Duskenvald.
Scarlet is off on a new case as a crimson sorceress in the new Crooked Moon campaign I'm playing. Still clinical, a bit cold and very observant, she's managed to keep her true nature a secret from her new traveling companions... for now.
Tumblr is rolling out a new reblog/notes system that completely disregards creators. In their new system, they're taking a twitter-style approach where reblogs will have their own notes that DO NOT contribute to the original post's notes.
Because of this, creators will no longer be able to see an accurate display of likes/reblogs/etc. This is completely altering the way feedback and responses to works are going to be received on this website.
If you come across a fan work that you enjoy, please take the extra step to go to OPs original post, and leave your comment/like/reblog there. Or go one step further and send an ask to OP directly to tell them what you liked!
I really hope Tumblr staff reverses course and reverts to the original reblog system for the sake of the large base of creators who use this site to share their works, but until then, please be considerate and make sure the creators here see/feel the love.
Hello, all! This is an announcement for a Vampires SMP community event to support bat conservation. There’s a lot of misconceptions surrounding bats being evil or dirty or diseased, which makes it really hard to get people to care about some bat species that are already struggling with survival. Bats are close to the heart of VSMP, so i thought we could do something to raise awareness and support within our community.
-
When this event occurs: April 12th-18th, as International Bat Appreciation Day falls on the 17th of that week.
-
How to participate: Create a post with a piece of art or a story that is related to bats in VSMP in some way, and include a donation link to a bat conservation group with it. All posts will need to either tag this blog, or use a hashtag (#vsmp bat conservation event) so that we can find and reblog it to share the love. It’s not required but including information about bats themselves either within the work or separately is encouraged.
Who can participate: Everyone! Regardless of skill level, everyone is invited to participate. And if you’re not able to participate directly, you can still help by donating or liking/reblogging other people’s works.
Accepted art: Digital, traditional, 3D, short stories, poems, get creative! You may make as many posts as you like.

Day 5: Echolocation

Donation Links:
Merlin Tuttle’s Bat Conservation: https://www.merlintuttle.org/
Bat Conservation International: https://www.batcon.org/
i personally don't feel comfortable handling money in any way, so all donations will need to be made directly to the conservation group(s). The downside to that would be that there won't be a specific monetary goal, and we won’t know how much gets donated in the end. HOWEVER.
To incentivize participation, i will be taking art requests. For each request that is made, I WILL DONATE $5.00 USD (capped at $500 USD). That means even if you're not an artist or writer, and donating is outside of your means, you still have the opportunity to be involved in a meaningful way!
All art requests must be sent as an ask, and must follow the above stated rules, otherwise it will be deleted. You may send an ask early, but it will only be fulfilled after the event starts on April 12th. Requests will not be accepted after April 18th (or if we hit the $500 goal).

Disclaimer: This event is not sponsored by anyone, nor are any of the Vampires Creators involved in the project. This is just a fun event for the community to celebrate and support bats.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to send an ask or dm!
