BRING ON THE SMOULDER

#louis tomlinson

omg today i was at this safe driving education thing with school and a police officer was talking to us about road safety and about how many teens die every year and everyone was so quiet and serious and i forgot to put my phone on silent and it just goes off so fucking loud over the officer like ‘HEY ASSBUTT’ and he just went silent and stared at me i have never wanted to dissolve into the carpet through the crust of the earth into hell more in my life than today

Amazon launches kindle platform to SELL fanfiction

Amazon secured a deal with Warner on some franchises (Vampire Diaries, etc) that allows them to publish fanworks from said franchise (with massive restrictions, no porn, no graphic violence, etc), with low payment for authors (!!!) and massive percentage going back to Warner (!!!!!)

Infos over here

This is a DISGRACE. Fanfiction is FREE. People do not make MONEY out of it. This is not-for-profit derivative work.
The status quo between fanfiction and copyright is what allow us to enjoy it, if this starts happening, more people will question copyright and find way to challenge things for the worst, it could forever changed how fanfiction is.

Let’s fight this!! Quick I need a petition.
