I complained to support and my blogs have been restored, but I’m still unhappy with Tumblr’s new censorship in general. I’m particularly troubled by the persistence of hate/racist/nazi/MAP blogs and porn bots. And the apparent censoring of LGBTQA material and progressive tags like Black Lives Matter.
FOAH has posts queued for the next 3 months and I’m not going to delete them, but after that all non-art updating will be on AO3. As an incentive to read over there instead, I’ve already posted everything right up to last night’s session. https://archiveofourown.org/works/17046851/chapters/40080410 and updates will happen as soon as I have enough material to cut off for a chapter. [probably still around twice a week.]
AO3 is a more stable host and against censorship in general. Plus it gives better stats, their search is functional, and we’re not counting on reblogs to get attention. Because the rp is a sequel to “Fear of a Herobrine” It’s being listed under the title “The Shining Eyes” Which is the name of the Skype conversation we roleplay in.
And speaking of stats, it’s also made me fully aware of how massive this project has gotten. Up until this point I was not able to get a word-count. [A page or line-count would be inflated because of the double-spacing in the format.]
As of yesterday our word-count is - 2,481,356 or two million, four hundred eighty-one thousand, three hundred fifty-six words.
This is 12x larger then Fear of a Herobrine.
It is twice as long as Homestuck...
Out of 4,377,428 pieces of writing on AO3 - we are the 6# longest fic on the site.
Now. I started this project because I love HerobrinexSteve, which is a rare-pair couple with only 46 works on AO3. And our second most frequently appearing couple is a creepypasta Herobrine shipped with a female OC. So this is truly; being the change you want to see in the world.
I also received this, which absolutely made my day-
Also thank you to @theoverworldqueen for helping me upload some of the 427 individual files in exchange for chai tea, salmon crackers and a bowl of chili. XD
