A Little Post For Lunar New Year! Wishing Everyone Good Health And Fortune~

i understand that not everyone can donate rn even if they really wanted to. i myself am currently unemployed and cannot donate much more than i already have atm !! not donating is okay - pls don’t feel guilty if you do not have the means to do so.

if donating is not a possibility right now, ive found this 1 hour video you can watch on youtube where all proceeds from the ad revenue will go to an organization to help the cause (more info in the video’s description). op has compiled songs and art from Black artists to listen to. you can leave it on to play in the background or plug in earphones and go about your business as usual. it can’t get more simple than that.

as a fandom that’s known to mass stream, it would be amazing if you could channel that energy into watching this video !!!!!

my weirdquisition charms for artsobi are here! ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁

i've updated the preorder version with the rest of the party, check out on my ko-fi shop!

>>shop<<

I saw those new posters / PTR previews of the new Paris Map, and this lady caught my eye~

A little late in posting, but here are my attacks/revenges for Art Fight! First two Tavs are Nowhere and Noki, both belonging to @sound-nin as well as @nekrosmos 's Hex!

Here’s a 6+ characters fanarts challenge that I did on Instagram/Twitter! Honestly have not drawn so many characters in a single piece for a long while, it was challenging but fun to do!

I changed plans a bit & would like to start the year with something different.

I have posted a thread on my Twitter to help our friends in Australia, humans & animals. Here’s the link: Twitter donation doodle thread If you donate $5 or more I will make a small doodle of your pet or Pokémon (ofc dressed up)! I will have to keep this to Twitter unfortunately, because DM’s would be hard for me to coordinate. The doodling starts on Sunday! Reblogs would be appreciated! Here’s only a couple of links to donate to (ofc there are more!):

> NSW Rural Fire Service > Help Thirsty Koalas Devastated by Recent Fires > Wires Wildlife Emergency Fund > Australian Red Cross

Honestly wanted to see Changcheng in a long coat and scarf! And punk Shuzhi is fun to think about too.

Woodsign fanfic app on the App Store

Lots of people have been pinging me in posts about this company and their various apps (pictured above). I don’t own any Apple products, so I haven’t been able to see these apps myself, but my understanding is that they pull data from AO3 and present it in the app, sometimes for a fee. 

If you’re wondering whether your own stories are being hosted on these apps, you’ll need to either check for yourself or find a friend who can check for you.

I emailed AO3 Support about the subject, and here’s what I got in response:

Thanks for asking about this app. We checked with the OTW Legal team and our coders, and have some information to pass on. “The OTW does not own the works posted on the Archive – they are all owned by their respective authors. 

For that reason, although the OTW can (and does) rely on trademark law to make sure that people don’t make confusing apps that would make people think the OTW or AO3 is associated with them, there’s nothing we can do about apps or services that contain works owned by AO3 users.  That is up to the authors themselves, who own the copyrights in their fanworks. 

“Many sites have procedures (known as DMCA takedown procedures) that allow copyright owners such as fan-authors to request that their works be removed. The Fanfic Pocket Archive Library may have such procedures.   Regardless of whether those procedures exist, copyright owners can always demand that their works be removed from places they are not authorized, and as a matter of copyright law, sites should comply with such demands.

“The Apple App store also has procedures for reporting apps that infringe copyright:  https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/appstorenotices/#?lang=en 

“The Google Play store has similar: https://support.google.com/legal/troubleshooter/1114905 

“To be clear, to the best of our knowledge, the app is not wholesale scraping and storing data - they’re displaying content from the Archive in a very heavily modified format. Because the app’s subscription fee can be explained as “to support the app’s code base” and not for the content itself, it is within legal bounds. Our only suggestions are for the creators of the works to issue DCMA takedowns to the app developer, and to the appropriate app store if they find the developer response unsatisfactory.

tldr; There’s nothing that AO3 can do in this situation. It’s up to individual authors to report the copyright infringement to protect their own work. Start with the app itself and then go to the app store if they don’t do as you requested. 

If you could signal boost this post, I’m sure AO3 Support would appreciate it. I can only imagine how many emails they’re getting about this right now. 

Watched NicoB's walkthrough of Paranormasight, had to draw these guys in reverse style outfits! ☆
