Comic-style art I made inspired by 'A Meditation On Railroading' by @eggmacguffin - from when Jason finds Tim on the train 💖

Mark My Words by Skalidra

Drawn for the @dcubang​ event! I was lucky enough to once again partner with @skalidra who wrote an amazing fic wit lots of great inspo! We both agreed this was a fave scene : 3 (please full view)

yeah i don’t think any of you should be surprised by this point

have the yashiro commission

Sketch vs. lineart hehe

I’m too lazy to color

For context my fic, homuncular nature, is really close to 1k kudos! This piece is to celebrate that :) i really want to finish it because I have a clear vision of what I want this to look like now but I also don’t feel like coloring so I’ll prob just tackle it another time

If you haven’t read the fic, here’s the link! It’s a crossover between genshin and fma where by unknown means Albedo ends up in fma :) kind of a basic premise but there are a lot of fun character dynamics that I hope I did justice with my writing!

After everything, the Jonin uniform does suits him. 

Thank you @vita-divata​ for this stunningsweetgorgeous commission of Obito and Kakashi from chapter 21 of Kamui Blues. You brought the scene to life in a way that was even better than in my head. I love it more than I can possibly convey. 

wanted to make some fake screenshots and challenged myself to do them quickly…so here you go! one per chapter ala matchmaker, matchmaker by @prosodiical , which is very sweet and cute and has a lot more moments I couldn’t draw b/c I limited myself to 1 per ‘chapter’.

hiccup seeing jack’s face for the first time in the ripple of a snowflake chapter 6 by @emerialyncodevenice!! i’ve wanted to draw this since i read the chapter i could picture it so clearly <33 hiccup is a goner lmao

@emerialyncodevenice i said i would!!

this is jack in his light fury armour with aurora from the ripple of a snowflake! if you haven’t read it yet i HIGHLY encourage you go do that!

Random drawings of Zhongli as a fatui hydro agent! Or how I like to call this: how many effects and filters can I add so I don't have to do the shading.

Anyways, this was inspired by @bgtea's awesome ChiLi fanfic "The Autumn Winds Are Sighing". One of the first Genshin Impact fanfic I ever read and one of my favorites!

I also gotta confess, I've been working on these since almost 3 months ago and I wanted to finish them just before the finale of the fanfic, but then college happened, so here we are.

also i know pyro fatui agents wear a different mask but i thought it was going to be way too menacing and scary for zhongli, so i just went with the regular fatui mask..................

TCGF Donghua Masterpost: How to Watch Legally!~

✨First things to know:✨

✨"Bilibili or YouTube?“✨

Short answer: Bilibili is better overall, especially the website. But there are pros and cons of each, so you can decide for yourself.

‼️Differences between Bilibili Apps:‼️

I’m not sure if the alternative version of the app works with PayPal in other regions, but it didn’t give me the option when I tried, even when I logged in. Thus, my guess is no, and that only the website offers PayPal, but the “correct” version of the app offers via Google Play.

—

✨"When should I pay?“✨

Probably a few days before the donghua releases would get you the most bang for your buck. If you are paying via Bilibili and doing the 3 month sub (93 days), you can pay basically anytime between now and October 31st and have enough days left on your sub for all 11 episodes. (Unless there is a random mid-season break, but I doubt that.)

AO3′s users alert! Unauthorised fanworks copying

Dear AO3 users,

We would like to bring your attention to an ugly situation with unauthorized copying of works posted on AO3.

A lot of works from AO3 have been copied to fanfics.me (we’ll call this site FFM for brevity’s sake) and are still being copied right now, either:

— automatically by a code specifically created by FFM’s owner for this purpose, or

— by unaware or unscrupulous FFM’s users via semi-automatic method (by inserting a link to a work from AO3 into a web-worm on FFM).

All works from AO3 — with a few exceptions (I’ll elaborate on this below) — can end up on FFM without authors even noticing. Even fanarts or podfics.

FFM doesn’t comply with DMCA which means that such reposts endanger fanworks’ creators in case the copyright holder demands to delete the fanwork.

Authors of the copied works do not have any control over them; if the work is edited it won’t be updated on FFM until someone manually updates it.

Additionally FFM’s owner makes money out of reposted free fanworks from numerous Google and Yandex ads on each and every FFM’s page by having people go to this site when searching for fics on Google etc. So we recommend using an Ads Blocker when visiting this site in order to prevent the owner from earning more. Ghostery or Adblock Plus work just fine, but you can use any other Ads Blocker that is convenient to you.

Oftentimes FFM even shows up before the original post with the work on Google search results.

The owner’s e-mail: refery@fanfics.ru.

The owner at AO3.

We are trying to bring AO3’s users attention to this situation and help authors with taking their works down from FFM.

Briefly about the website and its owner

Let me start from the very beginning as it will bring into the light the nature of FFM and give a good example of its owner characteristic behavior.

At first, some person with nickname Refery created FFM as a web archive where authors — mostly from Harry Potter fandom — could publish their fanworks.

Time passed, the site grew and added some features (blogs, pre-moderation and etc.), and all was good and well up till the moment when Refery decided that it would be a great idea to copy to FFM fanworks published on other Russian fanfiction archives — among them from the biggest and most known site ficbook — without asking authors for permission. Even those works that had “Ask me before posting the story somewhere else” mentioned in its text or summary were copied.

For some time nobody noticed, but when finally and inevitably this came out the authors were outraged. It took a lot of time to finally persuade Refery to at least not to copy fanworks bearing a special tag “Уточнять у автора” (Ask the author first).

But after some time Refery — without giving any notice — violated his own promise and resumed copying to FFM fanworks that had the agreed upon tag. The authors complained again, so very reluctantly and after many painful discussions this feature was reinstalled.

So FFM has been notoriously known, mostly amongst Russian fandom, for claims on re-posting fanworks without the consent of the authors.

We’re mentioning this situation just to give you a detailed portrait of a person we are dealing with here.

Not only fanworks are copied to this website, but original works, too. Even those which were already published. There were all 7 of Harry Potter novels (both original text and translation), The Hobbit: There and Back Again (translation) and Vorkosigan Saga (translation) available for everybody to read and download. They were taken down only recently due to the attention this whole situation had drawn, but nothing ever goes away once it’s posted online and you can access the proof via Internet Wayback machine. We know for a fact there are other books on FFM and some actions have been taken in this regard, but still it takes time to find published books on this site.

Recently Refery decided that Russian archives are not enough for him and started copying all fanworks into FFM without any permission from the authors from numerous sites, like AO3, fanfiction.net, fictionpress.com, fanfiktion.de and likely other web-archives.

Moreover, the authors of these works can not delete their works from FFM and/or manage them. The site is in Russian only and, hence, we strongly believe that non-Russian speaking authors even do not know that their works are reposted somewhere else.

As a Russian fan-community, we have tried to stop such activity of FFM many times; however, we have not been successful in achieving our goal completely. Our most recent achievement is that the FFM’s owner implemented the “Don’t copy to another site” tag created specifically for AO3 (here is the link to FFM’s owner post on his personal blog regarding this tag. Please use Ads Blocker!). This tag should be added to each work presented on AO3 in case the author does not want their works to be copied to FFM.

We are of the opinion that no work should be taken without permission in the first place, but this tag is all we’ve got.

Please note that it seems that some time ago there was similar case of unauthorized copying with other site. Please check this link, they give useful advice.

How to prevent copying from AO3

If you check AO3 you may notice that “Don’t copy to another site” tag has hugely emerged in the recent weeks, but mostly amongst Russian users and there is a good reason for this: the owner of FFM announced this tag only in Russian and only on his private blog, so naturally there is no way for non-Russian speaking AO3 users to know about this — albeit non-satisfactory — solution.

There are no guaranties that the FFM’s owner won’t change the rules again as has already happened numerous times before (few examples we described above) and that works with this tag won’t be reposted in the future, but for now it’s the only quick and working solution besides making your works visible only to registered users, which is not ideal. 

This situation is highly unpleasant, but we ask you not to delete your works from AO3, because if the work is deleted from AO3 it will be nearly impossible to delete it from FFM: we won’t be able to refresh it manually and remove the text.

Please note that adding this tag won’t work for texts that have already been copied. Only users who have accounts at FFM will be able to delete them. Each work needs to be deleted manually.

However, the Russian fandom — except for the owner of FFM — strongly condemns reposts without the consent of the author, so feel free to contact our volunteers (through DM or Ask on our tumblr page) providing the links to the works stolen from AO3, so we could delete them for you.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to cover all authors and works manually. So, we contacted AO3’ Technical Team with the aim to bring their attention to this situation and inform about it all AO3 users, and hope that AO3 team will find a general solution to resolve this problem, possibly, in collaboration with the AO3 lawyers.

We are trying to warn as many authors as possible and recently started spreading this information via comments on AO3; but considering the number of works copied to FFM informing all authors will take considerable time, and we can easily miss someone, especially since the copying is still in progress and new works from AO3 are appearing on FFM every day.

Please help us spread the word!

We tried to make a comprehensive FAQ about this. Feel free to ask if anything is unclear!

FAQ

Q: Can I check if my work was copied to FFM?

A: Yes, you can.

FFM makes money on Google and Yandex ads, so we recommend turning on the Ads Blocker of your choice before visiting this site.

Please follow this link, insert the title of your work or your AO3/other web-archive nickname into the field containing the words “insert-title-nickname” and hit “Искать” (Search).

For works rated Mature or Explicit you will be able to see only the caption “Текст произведения доступен только зарегистрированным пользователям старше 18 лет” (“The text of the work is available only to registered users over 18 years old”), but FFM users are able to read and download the story.

Q: My work from AO3 was copied. How can I take it down?

A: First of all add the tag “Don’t copy to another site” (without “ “) to the stories you want to be taken down.

Actually we would recommend adding this tag to all the works you don’t want to be copied.

Contact one of our volunteers (through DM or Ask on our tumblr page) providing links to your works or send an e-mail with your deletion request directly to the FFM owner at refery@fanfics.ru or at AO3. 

There is a third option: to register on FFM and delete the work yourself by hitting the refresh button, but considering that the site is in Russian we do not think it will be very convenient to those who do not speak Russian language.

Q: I got the message that my work has been deleted. How can I check if it is true?

A: You can go to FFM, search for you work, click on its title and scroll down.

After the summary there is a field that should look like this for those fics that have been deleted.

Basically it says that the author of this particular work has forbidden its copying and that only the information on its title, author’s nickname, rating, pairings, summary and the link to original post on AO3 are available. 

For works that are still available on FFM this field looks like this (if the work is open for non-registered users).

Q: My work copied from AO3 was deleted, but FFM still shows some information on it. Can it be deleted?

A: Even though the text of the fic is not going to be on FFM anymore after it has been deleted, the fic’s title, author’s name, rating, pairings, summary and link to original post on AO3 will remain there.

The deletion of this leftover information can be done only by the site owner himself.

Some Russian authors tried to make him to delete it, but in most cases the FFM’s owner refused them mentioning that publication of such information is in line with fair use concept and doesn’t violate authors’ rights.

We are yet unsure how to delete this leftover information. In case you need it as well, try contacting the FFM owner at refery@fanfics.ru or at AO3. Maybe e-mails of a large number of authors will work, but unfortunately we can’t guarantee anything. In case you need it, we can provide Russian text for you to send by e-mail (please contact our volunteers through DM or Ask on our tumblr page).

Q: My work from fanfiction.net/fictionpress.com/fanfiktion.de/other web-archives was copied to FFM. How can I take it down?

A: Unfortunately, there is no possible way for us to delete from FFM the fanworks that are copied from web-archives other then AO3. Only FFM’s owner can delete these works, please try contacting him at refery@fanfics.ru or at AO3. In case you need it, we can provide Russian text for you to send by e-mail (please contact our volunteers through DM or Ask on our tumblr page).

Please do not delete your works from the web-archive it was stolen from, because if the work is deleted it will be nearly impossible to delete it from FFM.

Also it seems that some time ago there was similar case of unauthorized copying with other site. Please check this link, they give useful advice.

Okay, kids, buckle up, because I’m going to tell you exactly how to handle this problem.

The site in question is both registered and hosted in Russia according to the Whois database, which is why DMCA takedowns can be ignored by both the site owner and the host and there’s really nothing to be done about it; the Digital Millennium Copyright Act applies to sites based in the United States.

However, this site is making money from Google Adsense.

Now, you can report the site for spam as recommended in the link above. It qualifies as such under Google’s content guidelines prohibiting “Thin content with little or no added value,” which prohibits scraped content from other sources.

BUT.

Why do that when you can go all out and send Google the DMCA takedown request?  (Here is Google’s policy regarding copyright infringement on publisher sites; here is the direct link to the DMCA takedown request form for the Adsense program.)

It’s clear that this site is being run by someone who is making money off of the content they’re stealing with no regard for the creators they’re stealing from.  Polite discourse has done nothing, and considering the fact that this is now a recurring issue, it’s time to hit them with some natural consequences for their actions.  It’s entirely possible that Google will elect to terminate the publisher account based on an influx of copyright infringement reports against the site, and they may elect to remove the listings from search engine indexing as well which will tank the site’s ability to earn even if they’re able to apply for publisher accounts with other advertising networks.

Yandex may be another method of recourse based on the language in their Advertising Network Terms of Offer:  3.5. The Owner shall ensure that the content of the Owner’s Resources complies with the current legislation of Switzerland, the legislation of the Russian Federation and the legislation of Ukraine and with the legislation of other countries (if applicable), as well as the requirements set forth in this Offer and the Rules of Participation during the term of the Agreement.  abuse@yandex.ru seems to be the best option available for contacting Yandex regarding infringing content on the publisher’s site; this should be covered at least under Swiss copyright legislation, although the wording seems vague enough that they might honor a DMCA takedown.

At any rate, it could be worthwhile sending notice that your work has been infringed on that identifies you as the copyright holder, the site it was originally posted on and the URL of the work in question, the URL of the page where it appears on the infringing site, and mention of the publisher account being in violation of copyright law by reproducing your copyrighted work without your permission.

And chances are that any advertising network they choose to use in the future will have similar policies that fanfiction authors can use to their benefit.

Just as an FYI for those who might want to check….
