I’ve noticed a lot of silence from most of the scriptfam (not a complaint! I appreciate that you’re all living your lives ❤️) and I wondered if you had any updates in regards to who is on hiatus, or who is straight up gone? Thanks so much for all your help over the years!

I’ll be honest, things have been crazy IRL for me, including spending most of December nursing a sinus infection (don’t worry, I’m getting better lol), so I’m going to have to get back to you. ^^;; I’ll try to do a full update of whose active vs archived or etc, in the next few weeks.

Do you know anyone who has a script blog for programming and hacking or so?

@scripthacker has got you covered!

I wanted to start out with I love your blog, my only question is why you have a disclaimer? I'm just curious lol cause it's about flowers, I've been wracking my brain figuring out how someone can injure themselves through that. Or maybe it's just in case.

Hello Nonny.

We love you back!

To answer your question, the reason we have the disclaimer is to remind people that this blog is here to offer writing advice only, not real life advice. While the use of our advice might not be as dangerous as misusing the advice from ScriptMedic, or have as many repercussions on us as there would be on ScriptShrink for giving real life advice, or even likely open us to hate mail or trolls like some of the other ScriptX Family blogs, we do need to keep in mind that we are providing writing advice. Keep in mind, we have answered questions about poisonous plants and flowers and we have discussed the use of various floral equipment which can be quite dangerous (most florists cut themselves at least a few times even after they are used to working with the equipment and flowers).

In some versions of the disclaimer, we point out that we cannot be held responsible for bouquets that don’t live up to one’s imagination or for mistranslated messages sent by flower language bouquet.

We try to provide the same level of suggestions to our followers that we would provide to a client in our shops, but in our shops, we know what is currently in season and available, what will hold up in current conditions, etc. If someone uses the information in slightly different situations in fiction, then it should still work (although fragile blossoms in snow will require some sort of magic for us to believe), but in a different climate or season in real life, those flowers might not work at all and could leave someone feeling rather bitter towards us.

Finally, we occasionally offer some gardening writing advice even though that is not either of our specialities because we are the closest thing available in the ScriptX Family. Again, if someone writes that they planted Veteran’s Honor roses in southern California then there’s no problem with that. That variety does well in large parts of southern California. But there are microclimates where it might not do so well and if someone spends a lot of money planting them all over in the wrong microclimate, they should have sought someone in their area to get real life advice instead.

I hope that answers your question about why we try to make it clear that we are writing advice.

The Script Family Fridge turned 1 today! 

Holy crow time flies - I haven’t been mod for long but that’s still a notable milestone for any active blog, huh?

How does one CREATE an official script blog? I haven’t noticed one for people who are trying to write witches/pagans/polytheists, and as a writer who IS one, I get a lot of questions about it in terms of writing. Plus I really look up to you all in terms of helping other writers (as myself, I have countlessly relied on all of the Scripty fam). Thanks so much!

So, first: thanks for the compliment! Hopefully @scriptmedic and the others see this and know you appreciate them this much <3Second - I can answer both halves of this, actually - with two links:

1.)  @scriptwitchcraft is an Official ScriptFam blog you may want to check out :)

2.) https://scriptmedic.tumblr.com/soyouwanna - Aunt Scripty’s official “So You Wanna Start [An Official] ScriptX Blog” page :) Should answer all of your questions in that regard - including the emotional labor you can expect if you ever did join or start a ScriptX blog. Hope this helps, Anon! :)

I sent an ask a while ago, and you redirected me to Scripttraumasurvivors, are they still active? Because I haven’t seen a lot of their posts in a while...

Yes, @scripttraumasurvivors is active! Their most recent post was about a day ago. They receive a lot of asks; it may take time for yours to be answered!

(sorry, but you have the most recent script family list) Do you know if scriptlinguist is still active?, because they're on the list as active but haven't responded to anything in over a month? (sorry if this is rude (also sorry for over apologising I just have really bad anxiety))

It’s cool, Anon! It’s not rude at all.

Unfortunately, @scriptlinguist is one of the scriptblogs that aren’t on our discord server, so we’re not sure what’s going on with them.

My list of the Scriptfam was current at the time it was posted in mid-May. There will be an updated list again soon-ish - we have a couple people joining the family and we want to make sure they’re ready to launch their blogs first!
