Transformer tumblr, I have a few questions, and bring a poll to put answers.

I've been wondering for while now on the origins of Six Changers (in-universe), and TFWiki hasn't been much help.

So, I've come here to ask my questions.

Are Six Changers the products of Experiments or Naturally Forged? If Naturally Forged, would their ability to have six modes be considered an Outlier?

Yes Forged, Yes Outlier

Yes Forged, Not Outlier

Not Forged, Yes Experiment

Other, not listed option here (Elaborate in Tags please)

Remaining time: 6 days 20 hours

Thank your for your answers in advance.

Feel free to elaborate in tags for whichever option you pick.

i get the vibe that people are reading less fic these days. confirm/deny?

in terms of reading fanfiction in the last six+ months...

i have been reading less fic lately for various reasons

i have been reading less fic and i'll tell you right now it's because of AI

i would like to read more but i'm in a fic reading slump

i never read all that much fic (less than one story per week)

i almost never read fic (less than once a month)

i read the same amount of fic as ever

i have been reading more fic lately

nuance/bald/i'll tell you in comments

Remaining time: 3 days 22 hours

"because of AI" i mean because of the number of fics that are written using AI.

Being a fanfic author is about basing your entire premise around a single plot bunny and then having to bullshit your way through the rest of the story.

It's happening again, so just to remind everyone:

TUMBLR ADS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO AUTO-PLAY AUDIO! THAT IS A BUG AND YOU SHOULD REPORT IT!

"This ad is auto-playing audio" is literally on the drop down menu for reporting an ad. Tumblr isn't trying to implement this! Don't protest this "new policy", cause it's not one.

Report the broken ads.

Thank you.

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be a part of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

ok so this is another long shot but a few years ago there was a twitter post (in japanese i think?) that had measurememts for how to make this book stand thing out of cardboard that you could use to double up books and use up more space on shelves

back then i made a bunch of these but by now i lost the pic and dont know how to find the original post anymore

if it comes down to it i can just take one apart and get the measurements from there but i would be very grateful if anyone happens to have the original post or something similar??

[megacarapa]

don't mind how long it's been since i made this post, anyway i realized that i don't even need to take one apart to get the measurements when i can literally just unfold it and refold it /FACEPALM

so anyway here is the diagram for anyone else who is interested!!

this requires pretty big carboard pieces, if you have a really big box or something you can make it from one piece, but if you don't, you can also just make each of the pieces individually and then tape them together

and then in the end you put it together like this!!

and then when you make a bunch you can put them all next to each other and stack your books like crazy

EVERYONE START GETTING MORE USE OUT OF YOUR SPACE NOW!!!!

"you already left kudos here"

And??? Let me like it again??? Clearly it deserves more??

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

don’t know who needs to hear this but ao3 is not a social media. it’s an archive. a library. please stop treating it like twitter or tiktok

[puppydogwhitaker]

PSA to fic readers, it is so hard to freak a fic writer out with your comments. we are just as crazy about the fic as you are.

tell me you love it. tell me it made you slam your laptop shut. tell me you brought it up at your college lecture about kink. key smash in all caps. quote the passage that made you think. i promise, we’ll love it.

we spend hours thinking about it, writing it, editing it. there is no such thing as over enthusiasm when you’re talking about our fics to us. we are sooooo weird about them, i assure you. you are just matching my freak. the freak bar is already set so high. feel no anxiety about enjoying something and letting the creator know.

everyone shut da fuck up this is the only thing that matters
