Kikyo851/starflame situation

Quotev

I'm sure by now that you all noticed the disappearance of the accounts and stories by the author kikyo851 -main account/ lavendersky known as starflame -alt account/ misamisa851 -kikyo alt.

All her accounts including their alt got deactivated by Quotev, where she mainly writes and has all her works, she have 30 days before her account gets permanently deleted. 

Besides Quotev she can still be found on Wattpad (xKaguraYatox) and AO3 (Kikyo851)

As for now she is still able to access her account, but she can't download any of her writing. For now she has to copy and paste every chapter of every story by hand, or all of her work risk being deleted forever with all her accounts. She can't log out or she'll risk not being able to log in back in and access anything. 

Please if you can, and have an account on Quotev try to report by saying that you believe the account has been wrongfully deleted and requesting it be restored. It's by the most importance that you remain polite but firm in doing so, to avoid aggravating the issue further and make them not want to help.

If it helps anyone struggling with like anxiety over the message, just remember that it's mostly bots and not real people reading it. So just getting straight to the point and requesting the accounts be properly looked at and restored is plenty. It's best to avoid spamming, making only one or two reports. Don't copy and paste reports, the bots might see it as spam and delete it.

Try to spread the message as much as you can, please raise awareness about it on different platforms like Tumblr, Reddit, Wattpad, etc. Promote her Wattpad and AO3 accounts as much as you can, there are tons of readers from Quotev that don't even know where to find her other accounts. 

She is beyond destroyed she needs all the support she can have, go give her lots of hugs and spread the word!!!

Bring back Kikyo851!!

Hello, dear readers. If you have been on the platform Quotev for any decent amount of time, you've likely heard of the author called Kikyo851, also known as Starflame. Recently, she has disappeared from the platform altogether. I'm here to explain why.

Kikyo851 is a well-known author, most notably for her reader-insert fanfics for MHA/BNHA and JJK. She has accounts on AO3 and Wattpad, but she was most popular on Quotev. The reason this author, who was loved by almost 20,000 people, suddenly vanished is due to targeted harassment from the Quotev mods.

They have deactivated her account for no apparent reason, along with 8 years of her work. We need help to raise awareness and help Kikyo through this situation. Not enough people are aware of what happened to Kikyo, and the mods on Quotev are actively filtering out any mention or protest of the issue. Not only is Kikyo suffering because of this, but other creators on Quotev might not be aware and fall into the same trap. There needs to be a public outcry. She has most of her works saved or cross-posted on AO3 and Wattpad, but she's having trouble on those platforms too. Additionally, some of her Quotev-exclusive stories are currently lost unless she can get her accounts back before they are permanently deleted.

So what can you do to help? First of all, message Quotev. Report the situation. Second, spread the message, be it on Tumblr, Reddit, X(Twitter), etc. Third, support and promote her through other platforms and join her Discord server. Links are down below;

Kikyo851/Starflame follow up

These few day we have been trying to spread the news about the abrupt deactivation of all the accounts of our beloved writer Kikyo851 (on Quotev,) to all platforms, especially on Quotev. Making reports, publishing books, quizzes, going as far as tagging as much people possible, anything to make sure that the situation is know to readers and writers alike. Quotev as been actively filtering out our works, anything related to her, within hours (sometimes even minutes) of publishing the works they can't be found, not on the site nor manually searching on other search engines.

Now it seems they even got as far as disabling the support email of the site [email protected]. Some were able to send theirs reports with no problems, but others got an error message saying "adress not found". Someone tried [email protected] email account and that was able to go through. It's best to use this email to send reports ([email protected]).

As for now sending reports selecting "Help" on the app/quotev's website still works.

As mentioned in the previous post help us by making a report regarding this issue- and ask for Kikyo's accounts to be restored.

Make a report, informing succinctly, firmly, but POLITELY that you believe Kikyo's accounts were terminated unfairly, as she has not broken any guidelines, and that you would like them to PLEASE review the situation and consider returning her accounts to her.

do NOT be aggressive or rude in ANY WAY, as this will aggravate the mods and cause more issues.

Do NOT SPAM THE MODS. DO NOT SPAM REPORTS. It's against the TOS, and will get you disabled, or cause more problems for Kikyo. Try to make no more then ONE report a day. Do not copy and paste the same report each day. Change it up, write something new each time. That way they know you are a real person, and not a bot. If they think you are a bot- they WILL ignore you.

Make journals, story entries, author's notes on Quotev that mention the issue to raise awareness. Again, be polite in your postings. Do not aggravate, attack, or threaten the mods.

make SCREENSHOTS of any journals, story entries, author's notes, or any other mention of Kikyo's issues when you make or notice them. Having screenshots that they existed will be important proof if they start disappearing- as that will show the mods are trying to silence people.

Make reddit posts, tumblr posts, mention it on your A03s, wattpads- etc. Raise awareness and let people KNOW what is going on and how they can help.

Tell your friends, or other authors, or anyone you know who you think might be willing to help with the awareness and reporting.

We are trying to convince the people in charge to restore everything, we will try everything to bring her to the light, to not let it be swept under the rug, to hopefully restore all her accounts and hard work back.

VISUALIZED MELODIES

IDEA: Melody used to create the general structure of a textile pattern 

Ex: Lace border patterns

IDEA: melody dog pattern used for abstraction and expressive elements in paintings 

-Leaf patterns in trees in a landscape 

-Hair curl shapes in a portrait 

-Shape of a mountain range 

I have been doing this for years, in my drawings, as a technique, at times. I find parsons code is efficient for making it simple. Using a bar with intention to consider notation of soft or sharp and etc about key of whatever, can also be done. I haven’t really had the time to do this, with that level of intended articulation, but think it’s a cool idea for conceptual s suggestion for work that has a great degree of time given to single pieces with intricate details. Something I am working on. 

Like all my other stuff, where I enjoying hiding and revealing things. 

I think minimalism is a response to wanting a distance from this, due to when people are learning, developing and concealing patterns. A desire not to look or listen for nothing there other than decorative, or for it not to distract. What is simple, does this, after what is complex, sonically and visually… to appease and give rest. While the other gives much to explore, see and be entertained by.
