Heading to Pillowfort, and Iām Offering Keys
Hi, you may or may not know me. I go by Tyramir, and Iām an author. Mostly I write fanfic, but I have also published a book at some point. (Yes, that was a subtle plug ā donāt feel obligated to click the links, theyāre there to justify to myself why Iām doing this so I can say this wasnāt 100% altruistic because Iām a crusty old troll)
So, recently, Tumblr has made something of an announcement regarding what kind of content they will and will not host in the future. And you know what, thatās okay. Itās their site. They can do what they want. Just like Iām free to say,Ā āHey, @staff, go fuck yourselves with some sandpaper, you masochistic fucks.ā
Ah, that felt good. You know what else feels good? Moving to Pillowfort. Iām in no way associated with them, beyond that I am now a user. I just bought a key. More than one, actually. I bought a whackload of them. I am not rich. See: author. Very poor profession if youāre not ultra-successful. However, what I am is angry, and disappointed with the direction this site is taking.Ā
This site is home for the marginalised, for the outcasts, for the misfits. Itās also the home for a lot of fellow artists, like myself. Ones that might not have a little extra cash in their wallets. So, as a Christmas gift (and as a way of sharing that link up above advertising my book, see self, youāre not totally altruistic), Iām making this offer.
Reblog and like this post. You donāt have to follow me. You donāt have to buy my book. You donāt have to tell anyone it exists. You donāt even have to click that link. Just like and reblog. Anyone who likes it will get one entry for drawing for a key. Anyone who reblogs it will get one. Anyone who does both will get two. And on December 17th, the Day of Ignominy, I will draw ten names, and I will gift ten keys. Iāll even wear a Willy Wonka hat while I do. You wonāt be able to see it, but the spirit will be there.
If you want to get the word out, but donāt want to get an entry (say you already have a Pillowfort account), just reblog and tag the post withĀ āno entry,ā or some variation thereof. Iāll exclude you from the draw, but thank you (in my mind, Iām not gonna actually thank people, but that requires effort, yo) for helping others learn about this opportunity.
TL;DR: Bald author wants to use very little cash he has to give people Pillowfort accounts. Just like and reblog for entries.Ā Also, I hope you are feasted upon by a swarm of angry weasels, @staff.
**EDITED TO INCLUDE** A kind soul who has stated their desire to remain anonymous has volunteered an additional five keys to the raffle! We are now up to fifteen keys.
