Well, see you, friends

https://www.404media.co/tumblr-and-wordpress-to-sell-users-data-to-train-ai-tools/

Internal documents obtained by 404 Media show that Tumblr staff compiled users' data as part of a deal with Midjourney and OpenAI.

Don't go after staff members because of this, for what I know they weren't even informed until later in the process. You know who this comes from.

this is a drastic betrayal of user trust

jv

That's an understatement. It's treason, and they know it. The fact they haven't announced it, that even within the company this had been handled mostly in secret? Bad people doing bad things

🚨🚨TUMBLR WILL BE SELLING DATA FROM OUR BLOGS TO TRAIN AI!!! 🚨🚨

That means ARTISTS, WRITERS, ANY CREATIVES ON HERE! YES YOU TOO FANFICTION WRITERS!!! Tumblr is making a deal with Midjourney to sell your work to train their AI!!

Well, I don't trust them to take any feedback about this as being a terrible idea. This blog has remained up as an archive, but clearly I can't trust it to stay up without everything I've put my hard work into being used without my permission for AI data training, which means that this archive is going to be removed from this site, and all the writings, art, and asks are also going to be gone. Thank you all for you support, through the active years and also for the continued support during the inactive ones. There is a possibility that I might take most things over to Patreon like @monstersandmaw is considering and just making a free access tier, but I'm unsure if that is something that y'all would want (since I've been inactive so long anyway and a lot of my stories are on Wattpad under the same screename) In any case, It's been a heck of a ride. Thank you all so much for all the care and love through the years. Much love and monster hugs ~Minty

A Friendly Reminder :)

Hey guys! It’s me, Mint!

I’m just wanting to remind all y’all who have been around for a while, and also inform some of you newer folks that this account is essentially here for archive purposes, and that new content hasn’t been, and won’t be, posted here.

However, last year, this month actually, I moved over to Wattpad! I’ve discovered that the format works a lot better for me there, and since the move, I’ve not only written more one-shots and expanded and added to some old favorites, but I’ve also started up some long-format stories that update by chapter/part, which are still ongoing as I write this!

It never ceases to amaze me that I have such an amazing group of followers here, and I am sad that I had to make the jump, but the organization of Wattpad and the way I can collect stories is just so much easier to navigate!

I haven’t been able to completely move all the stories from here over yet, as I still have plans to update them and tie them together better in a single book (In doing that with one longer story, Shangri-La, I realized that I swapped POV in the last couple parts without realizing it, whoops). As such, a few are still missing from Wattpad, but I absolutely have plans to move all of my original writing content over, albeit with updates!

The only thing that probably won’t be making the move is my fanfiction, The Venom, as I’m unsure about copyright issues and such. For now, that will be a tumblr exclusive, but depending on how things go, as I’m still learning, that might make the jump as well!

Art won’t be going, though, as Wattpad is a writing site, but it’ll all still be around on here. Not planning to delete the page, don’t worry! :)

That about sums it all up! If you’d like to see more of my writing, including a pretty fair chunk of new stuff, go and follow me on Wattpad! Hope to see you there!

Hey guys, just reblooping this again because I recently added some updates to a handful of long-form stories that are specifically on Wattpad (linked just above)!

Also a reminder that I’m not really active on here anymore simply because it’s incredibly hard to find reblog content to fill my queue and also the formatting options here are much, MUCH worse than on Wattpad, where I can easily post longer form stories much easier.

There’s a lot more Wattpad exclusive stories now that so much time has passed, and I won’t actually be posting them here. So hop over, I promise it’s a lot easier to read the stories there, and some of the stories here on Tumblr have gotten updated formatting or extensions, too!

As always, thank you all SO MUCH for your support and interest in my silly goofy stories, it’s been so much fun being able to share them with you.

#mintmon talks #come join the wattpad fun!#I may actually be moving the rest of my stories over to Wattpad soon #including the Venom fanfic since there's actually no issue doing so I recently found out #but anyway!#Thank you guys for your support!#Please come drop in on Wattpad anytime!#<3

#mintmon talks #PSA #exophilia #terato #probably the last time I'll use that tag #but yes I have written *so* much more on wattpad than what is here #go check it out!

Hello! I just wanted to know, were you author of the fic where a giant feather monster mistakes the reader’s Halloween costume as a smaller member of its species?? It was super adorable and I’m trying to find it again!!!❤️

----

I believe that you might be referring to Xanxaske, who has a feather ruff and a skull head, so if that sounds right, then yes!

You’d be looking for The Patriarch collection of posts on my Master List!

What’s the name of the story you did about the corn maze and the Minotaur? I can’t find it in your master list and it was one of my favorite pieces you have done!

---

Wow, I had thought that it was also on my Master List, but as it turns out, it must have been published on Wattpad after I moved over there!

As it is, though, here’s a link to the story! The Fall Festival
