Weirdest kin discovery: On November 28, I thought about a roleplay I did with a group of people where we were different people in/from the Black Parade (from the album of the same name) for the first time in years and uh. Of course. Of course I was very invested in that rp’s lore. That’s my lore, I was there. -tbp!Mikey #🦅🚬🌑

does the site accept members to help with writing some of the stories?

This is something that I've been thinking about, but considering the frequency in which this blog is targeted by trolls, I do have a lot of security concerns.

I could accept maybe one or two more writers and one more artist for the comics.

Anyone who is interested in this can message me off anon or reply to this post, and if I get enough responses, I'll create an application form and pick the team from there.

Applying for the Forum

It has come to our attention that there may have been a misunderstanding about forum applications.

After you sign up with Yuku and make your profile, you apply to the forum by visiting the forum and clicking on a section, which will take you to an application page that you fill out. Then you wait to be approved as a member.

I'm sorry I wasn't clear about this before.

If you've already signed up with yuku, you can send me your yuku url via ask (not anonymous!) or fanmail and I'll invite you; then you can just accept the invite and get posting.

Sorry for the confusion!

(make this a comic?) a crowkin finding lots of interesting shiny things on the ground!

Here you go!

It just keeps getting better!

Our new site is now ready to go!  Enjoy!

KinStories is officially back in action.  Theme links have been updated to go to our new site.

[kinstories]

And. We. Are. Back!

Yes!  You may have seen me yammering on about this on my personal blog, but here's the official announcement: Kinstories is coming off of hiatus.

We even have a few surprises for you; a brand new website, new stories, and yes, our first comic are all going to be there for you... soon.  We are currently wrapping up development on the new site, and once it's done, the library will be yours to explore again.

Story and comic requests are open again but only via tumblr ask until the new site is launched.  

If you're excited by all of this now, you can head on over to our brand new, fully monitored Forum to meet up with other kin, chatter about, and get away from trolls and gore posts.  If some unscruptulous individual makes it onto the forum, you can not only report them but block them until I can remove them from the community.

The forums are only accessible to those who are members of the forum, which means there's an approval process.  You'll be notified when you've been approved.

Note: the sign up process looks like it's forcing you to choose between male/female as gender.  This is not the case; regardless of your choice, your profile will not display a gender unless you decide to.  Frankly, I'm not even sure why that question is there.

Thanks!  And it's nice to be back.

I am so close to just completely shutting down this project.

This fighting has completely gotten out of hand and lost all hope for civility.

I’m actually afraid to publish requests now, because I don’t trust that there won’t be hatefulness in the notes about who requested it (or who could have requested it if it’s anonymous).

I have stated many times now that hateful messages will not be tolerated, and the influx of hatred I have received from users angry about my use of pronouns for gods' sakes, for the characters is uncalled for, ridiculous, and seems to be directly related to the arguing.

KinStories is taking an indefinite hiatus. I might continue writing in this time, but nothing new will be added to the library until the situation calms down.

Requests are now turned off, and the library is closed until further notice.

Announcement:

Please forgive us for posting this message in all tags; rest assured it is the first and last time we will do so.

Before I give the announcement, I feel I must explain a few things:

1: This is a public library.  Libraries are made available to the public regardless of an individual's personal status, convictions, or affiliations.  That is why you will not see any of the arguments here, and that is why we delete messages pertaining to them.  As a library, this is not the place; you will find our opinions on our personal blogs and you can speak to us about them there.

2: Sending us hateful material will not cause us to align with your beliefs.  In fact, all it does is ban you from ever submitting prompts to us again.  This is a public resource and will remain one regardless of the opinions or convictions of its members.  A librarian not liking you will not ban you from a library, but if you assault the librarian, you will be banned.  Understand the difference.

Now that that is out of the way, I would like to make our announcement.

Kinstories will no longer be posting in any of the regular tags, but will instead be making its own tag and posting in #KinStories 

I suggest either tracking our blog or that tag if you wish to receive our updates.

We are making this move because we have received many messages from users uncomfortable with our posting in certain tags.  As there is no tag that is welcoming for everyone, we will simply make our own and post there.

We ask that you not post in the #KinStories tag unless you are talking about us or our writing.

As always, you may reblog any or all of our posts to whatever tags you wish.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding, and we hope that this move will be for the benefit of the library and its patrons.
