Amazon Unveils a [Horrifying] Fanfic Publishing Platform
Today, Amazon announced the imminent launch of its newest endeavor, Kindle Worlds, a publishing platform for fanfiction. When I read the announcement, I was horrified, then angry, then sad. I want to take a moment to explain why this is such a tragedy.
[Transcript: So during my time being fucking anxious and shit - this is the last thing before we get into questions by the way - during my time being fucking anxious and miserable and sad I have pretty much not spoken to anyone online, because why would I reach out?
*Laughs* 'cuz you know its like *sutters* I dunno if anyone else has the same thing thing as me, but when I'm miserable I just want to shut myself away for a bit. Not in like a depression way in like a - I'm literally - I think it would take too much energy. Uh- and here he is - big man Tommy has been fucking messaging me every day and like saying "We're talking," like "Come talk today," and basically been dragging me over to my PC and making me chat to him.
And its- its uh- its so nice. (Taylor thank you for the five gifted subs.) I-I get out of the shower at fucking five PM, after laying in bed for three hours on my phone. And the only reason I'm getting out of bed is because Tommyinnit has said come talk to me.
He's my best friend. He's my best friend and I used to tell him how depressing that was that im best friends with a sixteen year old but I'm- its not depressing, its not depressing. He's a fucking legend, TommyInnit.]
So, it’s been a while since we’ve made an original post (by that I mean since we have made a post that wasn’t a reblog), and I think it’s because Unus Annus ended. We became unmotivated to make gifs, compilations, etc. because the main thing that made us start this blog had stopped.
Then we got busy over the Christmas period and many new things came about for us (from our jobs to family, to literally the dream smp). Kai and I have been meaning to get back into making posts for a long time, but we just haven’t had the time to sit down and create content.
I just wanted to give you guys an update on where we’ve been the past 2-3 months. Hopefully we’ll be back soon!
I’ve just made a bet against my Dad that if this post gets 2 million notes then i can get a Puppy. [like the one underneath]
I didn’t realise how much 2 million was and i couldn’t take that number down now. It should look like 2,000,000 in the notes bar.
He’s convinced that this will never reach that number, and very confident about it so Let’s prove him wrong!! He thinks this will get about 25 notes beofre it’s left in the dust.
You don’t have to do it for me. But for the point and to prove him wrong. He has to pay and everything so let’s make him suffer with it!!
