oopsie i tripped and spilled my link to archive dot org's downloadable copy of Microsoft office suite for 2007, which features no AI tools and is a powerful word processor that still holds up just fine on windows 10!
It's just a little over a month until this year's extra-special 10th Anniversary RinHaru Week, and we've got some extra-extra-special goodies to celebrate!
Whether you're posting fanworks to the event or sharing our promo posts, you're eligible for our giveaway! RinHaru Week can continue to grow and share RinHaru love with the world thanks to all the amazing fans who support the event. We hope you'll join us by spreading the word! 🏊♂️ Sharing this post is a great way to start–and will earn you an entry into the giveaway ✨
Winners will be announced after RinHaru Week 2024 is over. We will contact the winners personally to coordinate forwarding of the prize to them. Make sure to keep an eye on our posts, and don't forget to keep those DMs open!
To see more details about this year's prizes–and our giveaway rules!–make sure to read below!
Two (2) winners will be selected this year!
Prize (A) will be this set of Rin and Haru plushies, with their high school uniforms so you can dress them up! These are the mini versions of the plushies known as "busunui" (deformed plush). They're super cuddly and cute, and the perfect size to take on all your globetrotting adventures!
Prize (B) will be these rubber straps of Rin and Haru, plus three (3) photocards of RinHaru official art! Last year and this year, KyoAni started releasing photocards with all of the official promotional artwork from the series, and they're sold in mystery sets so you can trade for your favorites. As you can imagine, the RinHaru cards were very sought after! Since they're plastic, you can easily decorate them with stickers, or put them in a photocard holder keychain. Together with the rubber straps, you can get a head start on your RinHaru ita bag!
Please read the rules below to find out how you can enter for a chance to win one of these prize bundles 🏊♂️

watching death note with my family and after the college entrance episode my mom asked offhandedly if anyone had ever pictured L and light as a couple before. it felt like one single white dove had landed on a crystalline lake in a beautiful pure clearing. no i dont think anyones ever thought of that before
I know I just reblogged this but I think the really important takeaway here is that this techbro is not genuinely asking “how can we improve fanfiction?” What he’s asking is “how can we tap into this massive market?”
I keep thinking about how many of these chat bots are free—for now. And of course they are! It’s a classic marketing technique when you’re trying to get your foot in the door with a novel product: let folks use it, let them get used to it, then start charging for it. You don’t have to look any further than streaming to see a very recent example of how this happens.
And it’s going to happen with AI.
There’s nothing these assholes love more than making money off of other people’s hard work. But you can’t legally charge for fanfic! So how do you get around that? You charge for a chat bot (which you trained on other people’s fanfic). You can’t charge for the content, but you can charge for the thing that produces the content.
AI is theft, and there are a whooooole lot of people gleefully looking to make a buck off of our hard work.
Don’t use AI, don’t feed AI your favorite fic writers’ and artists’ work, don’t read AI fic, don’t engage with it. And if you do, well, I can’t force you to give a shit about other people, but AI is a paywall being built, brick by brick, between you and the things you love. Stop slathering on the mortar.
