@fand-raiser
Hey, I have an extra key that I bought, can I send it to y'all to give to someone?
Yes, you can! Thank you so much <33 You can message @ultimate-queen-of-fandoms2 (one of our lovely mods) to give the key! She’s in the process of sending out keys right now so there will be six lovely people who will be getting them soon thanks to you! :D!!
Thank you for your kindness!! <3
KEYS UPDATE:
Hey y'all! The first batch of five keys have been bought and they should be going out soon! We apologize for the wait ^-^ however it looks like the only batch we'll be able to get out for the moment. With the new influx of people going to Pillowfort they've paused in handing out keys to make sure the servers can handle all the new people (update found here) but they will be getting them out again as soon as possible!
In the meantime, we hope to raise as much as we can so that we can help as many people as when it does start back up! Please, please signal boost in the meantime so that we can spread the word! (We're offering things to people who do donate check it out here!) Anything helps! Thanks y'all and have a happy holidays!!

Fander Pillowfort Giveaway!!
Hello, friends! I purchased two Pillowfort registration keys. Only one of them is called for. This means that I am giving away one (1), Pillowfort registration key. This key will allow you to create an account on Pillowfort.io!Â
Now, I do not really have any rules to enter- I would highly prefer it if you were a Thomas Sanders/Sanders Sides fan (because I would love to see the Fander community over there grow!), but I suppose that’s not a solid rule.Â
To enter, just reblog this post. Likes/double reblogs do not count. If you are simply reblogging to spread the word and do not want to be entered, just tag your post “no entry” or comment “no entry.”
I will list the URLs and then draw one at random on December 21st, one week from today. Winner will be alerted via Direct Messaging.Â
Good luck!Â
-Marin.

40 to 50 dollars = 2k to 4k fics (wowza!)
50+ donations = discuss depending on how much! :D
There are more rewards to come in the future! For now, consider donating to the GoFundMe here, even a dollar helps! If you can’t donate, then reblog this and boost to let other people know! Again, thank you so much for signal boosting and giving us your support <333 its one of the greatest things about this fandom!
heads up before you spend $$ on pillowfort, especially note the paypal thing. the io domain concern does not seem carefully enforced but is in the TOS so 🤷
These are valid concerns but like. Have we tried not making a call out post to promote hate against a brand new company made by fandom for fandom? This is the same shit that has been pulled on AO3 this year. Contact them and ask them to clarify their content moderation. Ask them about their concerns about Paypal – they’ve already mentioned on their Twitter that they’re changing domains because of the adult content ban on .io domains. They’ve been nothing but open and honest about everything since they were first announced and far more patient than is reasonable with the amount of questions they receive. And the site was down because it was fixing security issues in order to make the site safer for users. They’ve been absolutely transparent about this issue, which is unheard of these days.
Pillowfort will only survive if we support it. We need our own space that isn’t going to get sold out. Do you think Twitter is gonna allow NSFW content forever? Instagram doesn’t give a shit about fandom. And while Dreamwidth would be great, it would be a total culture shock to a lot of people – they have a 500mb cap for images, a tag limit, and communities decentralize fandom unlike Tumblr’s ability to just look at all of the posts under a single tag.
I’ve been looking into Pillowfort a lot. Obviously, there have been lots of tumblr-adjacent projects that haven’t worked out in the past, so it’s reasonable to be cautious. However;
Pillowfort has existed in beta for months now, with a fairly small user base. They created, funded, and closed their kickstarter over 3 months ago- you can check, it’s dated. They earned $57k, reasonable to get started, but not enough to create a fully operational social media site in 3 months. And unless they’re psychic, their site was clearly NOT created to take advantage of users fleeing tumblr, but rather out of genuine desire to create a platform that addressed the concerns of tumblr users.
With the money they earned, they have been working on the site, and the site being down was SCHEDULED (posted about before and while it was happening, keeping registered users updated on why it was taking so long and when it would be up again) maintenance to, you know, work on the site like they promised they were going to. It is literally in beta.
Again, unless they’re psychic, they had no idea tumblr was going to drop this bombshell while they were doing their maintenance (and again it’s in beta, ie the time when the site is SUPPOSED to be under maintenance!!)
They address the .io domain on their twitter (plan to change) and their FAQ addresses their business plan and how they plan to implement it. Plans to on board moderators are discussed on their FAQ.
So yeah, I get being cautious, but you should actually DO the research on this instead of knee-jerk reaction deciding it’s a scam. I’m not saying it IS going to turn out like everyone is hoping, but I have scoured all the info on their kickstarter, social media, and website; i have checked out the demo version of the site; I like what I see and so far everything checks out. So yeah I’m willing to bet a whole $5 on this site.
Okay reblogging this for misinformation
$5 is basically a nice latte. Even if the absolute worst case scenario happens, you’re only down a latte. It’s probably worth staking the literal price of a Starbucks drink on this and seeing what happens.
Also, they straight up say that if you don’t like the website, you can email them for a refund.
Announcements & Updates
Hello everyone! So much has happened over the last week and we want to keep you all updated with what’s going to be happening over the next few weeks.
Invites - We’re sending out the rest of our invitations today for payments that were submitted between Dec 4 at 3:45 PM PST and Dec 5th at midnight PST. If you sent a payment during that time period or earlier but don’t receive your invitation by later today, then a) check your spam folder! Yahoo and Hotmail in particular seem to like to filter our automated emails as spam, and then b) email us at [email protected] if you still haven’t gotten your invite. If you sent a payment after Dec 5th at midnight PST then we are aiming to send out your invite later this week.
Pillowfort Now Has Over 25,000 Users! To put this in perspective, at the beginning of this year we had only 4,000. The positive thing about the recent influx of new users is that the registration payments have given us more funding for developers and other expenses, which will result in a more robust infrastructure for the site in the near future. The unfortunate result in the meantime is slower load times as the site deals with the unprecedented amount of traffic. We realize that many users are coming to the site as an alternative to Tumblr, and we certainly hope that we can meet those expectations soon! Right now, Pillowfort is still a small team, and we hadn’t expected to have such a huge influx of potential users arrive on our doorstep all at once, so it will take us a little time to catch up. But rest assured we are working as hard as we can.
PR Assistant - Pillowfort is looking for a part-time public relations assistant to help us manage our communications with all our new and upcoming users! This person will primarily be responsible for helping us respond to inquiries through our social media accounts and email, and drafting our outreach materials. Pay will be around $15/hr and it is best if you live in the Austin, TX area. Please contact us at [email protected] if you’re interested.

I've applied for one key, but if I have some money in the future, I'll try to donate ^^
Thank you so much! We appreciate any support we can get!
This project is great! Thank you so much doing this :D Any idea when the first batch of keys is going out? Thanks and have a great day/holiday season!
Thank you very much! We’re hoping to get the first batch of keys out this week, probably later in the week since Pillowfort sends out keys every Friday. The batch after that will depend on how fast we get donations!Â
Update for Y’all
First of all! Thank you so so much for the support and the signal boostin, y’all are awesome and we appreciate it so much! Keep the ball rolling guys and we’ll help as many as we can!
Second, if you can donate we would absolutely appreciated if you could!! Every little bit helps! Coming soon we’ll have some optional rewards for those who donate, so keep an eye out for those!

Thank you so so much for everyone who’s donated, signal boosted, and/or offered to help! The support for this has been amazing and we’re hoping to keep this going so that we can help as many people as we can! We’ll be sending in the payment for the first batch of keys soon, and with hope ;) we’ll start to see some of y’all on Pillowfort not long after
(I, personally am signing off for the night, but feel free to continue to send in asks, messages and the like! Keep the ball rolling and I’ll do my best to help as soon as I can! -Soc)
How obsessive of a fander do i need to be to get in on this because i've seen and love every video i just don't ship or reblog anything cuz it's just Thomas is that okay
@literally--illiterate Yes, it’s okay!! We do have Thomas as our icon for a reason pffft.Â
We’re inclusive of all fanders regardless of “obsession”, so if you like Thomas Sanders and you want to help others in need? Good, you can help! :)
Hi! I’ve applied for an account (since I can’t afford my own) but I wanted to also support you guys (because this is so lovely of you). I draw quite a lot but I don’t sell my artwork on my own. It said in your FAQ that selling artwork and donating the proceeds to you might help - would it be possible for me to send you art directly and for you to auction it???
Hello there! Thank you so much for your interest in helping out the Fand-raiser! We would love to help you sell your art in support of this in the way that you’re most comfortable with! ^-^ I’ll be sending you a PM for more details!
Realized a little belatedly that mobile users can’t see the links in our theme ^-^;;Â
