Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

A winning banner by @neonbrutalism !

Banner ID: All four Defenders and Frank are sitting around a table strewn with red goblets, coins, and beer bottles and cans. They're playing cards and gambling. From left to right, Matt wearing a red shirt is feeling his cards with his fingertips, Jessica in black has her chin in her palm and is side-eyeing Luke, Luke i a yellow shirt is grinning down at his hand, Danny in green is looking pensively at his own, and Frank, seen in profile in his customary black shirt, is gritting his teeth. We can see the back of Foggy's lavender shirt as he's leaving the table; there's an empty chair left around the table.

DDE's Next Events!

Hello, fellow fans!

Some of you have already asked when the next exchange will be, since we've had one here every year at about this season... Well, things are going to be a little bit moved around this time :D

Our next exchange will be for Halloween, because why not! It will include the Remix Option. Signups will be around August, with matches sent early September so that participants would have almost two full months to create \o/ As always, gen and shippy works are all welcome!

As for the event after that, DDE is planning a Rarepair Bang & Reverse Bang, with the option of working as a pre-arranged team as well! Rarepairs would include all ships that have less than 1,000 English-language works on AO3. More details will be given at a later date!

And in the meantime, don't forget the Content Creator Spotlight - you too can be featured :D

Tumblr's Anon Ask Changes!

Hi all!

Tumblr has apparently changed how Anon Asks work, and have made it impossible for logged-out users or non-users to use this feature. You must now either log in or sign up... which is not great.

However!

There are other possible options. You can always submit your question; it's not quite the same (you must use an email, but the email will not be published when the question is replied to on the blog)... or you can go to the DDE DW blog, where anyone can leave a message under any post!

All links on Dreamwidth, because Tumblr refuses to let me add them here… go forth and like, kudos, comment, reblog, rec, praise…!

[themattfogblog]

Hey, i was wondering if you could add image descriptions to your posts? Im blind and Matt is one of my all time favourite characters (shout out to my sister for reading me daredevil comics while i lost my vision and managed to find my favourite issue in braille for my 17th birthday), but a lot of fan content is completely inaccessible to me because it was made by sighted people for sighted people. Please add image descriptions (and sorry about my little anecdote, my meds have worn off so im just kinda saying stuff)

Hello,

event banners have an ID or Alt Text, and artists who create for one of our events (on this blog, @daredevilexchange, and @frattweek) are also asked to have an ID or Alt Text, here on Tumblr and on AO3.

[whumpcember]

Introducing Whumpcember 2022!

Everyone's heard of Whumptober or Febuwhump, Angstpril or Sicktember, but get ready for Whumpcember! Whumpcember is pretty much exactly like Whumptober or Febuwhump, except in December.

Whumpcember is born out of a love of monthly whump challenges but with zero time to complete them. I also want to complete these challenges, but never have the time! So I came to realize that, from an American perspective, December is the month I get the most time off. So, I decided to create this event for people who have too much time in December, but so little across the other 12 months. Of course, this is most definitely an American experience and not universal; so if you don't have free time during December it is still perfectly alright to participate! This event was just made to cure my December boredom, and anyone else's.

Now after that ramble, onto the actual rules:

Prompts should be answered with whump as the main focus (i'll let angst slide though, since it's similar enough to whump)

Fanfic! Gif! Text post! Fanart! Fan video! Any piece of media that you can possibly make that has whump counts!

You can use the prompts any time! Don't feel the need to rush

Though, prompts answered during December will most likely be reblogged

Post anywhere! AO3, Wattapad, Tumblr, or even Fanfic.Net! So as long as you make a Tumblr post with a link to the answered prompt it may be reblogged.

When posting onto Tumblr you can either @/ the blog or tag with #whumpcember2022 and the day's tag, such as #whumpcember2022 day1

Don't forget to add any warnings necessary, such as NSFW or sexual content

At the end of the month a masterpost will go out to all participants and a badge you can save stating that you are either a participant or completionist. In order to be on the masterpost though, you will have to fill out a google form at the end of month; don't worry it'll take two minutes!

I hope everyone has a fun time during the event! And if you have any questions shoot me an ask through the ask box!

(this is also my first year running this event, expect a hiccup or two)

Our 2023 Prompt Fest with a Remix Option!

Wait, what? Wait, YES!

Nov 21 to Dec 11: prompting is open; you can submit regular prompts here such as a piece of music, quotes, scenarios, words, pictures... (these prompts will be anonymous) or submit some of your own works for the Remix Option here!

Dec 12 to Jan 29: Claiming and Creation time! A file will be made available containing all the prompts, and claimed prompts will be marked as such on the file (anonymously at this point; only DDE will know who picked what ;-). You will be able to claim a limited number of prompts per person - you can claim more once you are done with the ones initially claimed, for instance by posting them in the fest's AO3 collection (they won't be visible yet). A prompt can be claimed more than once, but we encourage creators to pick some that have not been chosen yet :-)

What types of fanwork? Here’s what you can do: Gifsets, Fanfic, Fanmix, Fanvid, Graphics / Fanart, needle art, podfic, translation... No AI art, no monetized work accepted.

Reveals on AO3 & posting on Tumblr should start on February 1, but the exact timing and duration will depend on the number of submissions and will be adjusted accordingly.

Posting Guidelines are here or on DW.

You don't need to prompt to participate in creating, and you don't need to create anything if you do prompt! (But of course, the more the merrier ;-)

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Last fic of Mattfoggy week! Fic where Matt is a cat...or a cat is Matt? Who knows? Foggy doesn't.

Written for Mattfoggy Week 2022. Prompt: [Free Prompt]

Foggy finds a stray alleycat one day. It’s a beautiful creature and won’t leave him alone. For some reason, it reminds him a little of Matt Murdock, the brilliant lawyer who disappeared five years ago.
