FOLLOW ME SOMEWHERE ELSE IF YOU WANT TO KEEP HEARING FROM ME.

THIS ACCOUNT WILL NO LONGER UPDATE AS OF DECEMBER 18 2018 AS A DIRECT RESULT OF @staff‘s CENSORSHIP POLICY. 

IF YOU WANT TO KEEP FOLLOWING ME, I am moving to the following social media platforms:

Dreamwidth: https://mllemusketeer.dreamwidth.org/

MOST ACTIVE HERE. Ficcing and complaining about writing. Also find fic that I won’t post anywhere else (or that I’m doing a test run on). Nonfiction headcanons.

Pillowfort: https://www.pillowfort.io/MlleMusketeer

Possibly the closest replacement to this account. Me messing around. Pretty pictures. Musings. Fic.

Twitter: https://twitter.com/IsobelleWinter

Follow me under my Official Author Hat and learn all about the parasitic bug alien romance I write!

AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/users/MlleMusketeer/works

Let’s be honest, if you’re here, you probably already know about my AO3. This will remain active.

I’m going to miss all of you. But Tumblr is totally unworkable for me now. I can’t post visual art, because it’ll get flagged. I can’t work around @staff and their meticulous incompetence that allows bullies and nazis free rein on this site, but punishes content creators. Tumblr isn’t a safe place for creators. It never was, due to the standoffish nature of @staff about harassment. Now it’s just... impossible.

It’s not just a matter of practicality. I won’t generate ad revenue for a blatantly unethical company.

See you elsewhere.

Mine just shows me increasingly bizarre shit on amazon.

One of the reasons I feel so comfortable using Tumblr over other social media is because this site is clearly too incompetent to be evil.

That’s what YOU think. We’ve been feeding bits of Gilbert to it for the last three years.

I love those discord chats where you only know one person’s name so it’s like “yes these are my friends dragonfucker, gandalf, the raven lord, 6000 bees, and George”

Just went through my followers to try and follow them on other platforms and holy shit, tumblr unfollowed a TON of people I follow. Sorry guys. One more reason I’m bailing from this blue hellsite.

[mllemusketeer]

I really wonder what someone *outside* the fandom makes of this sort of thing...

Neither Crowley nor Aziraphale is responsible for the Tumblr Titty Ban but both took credit for it when speaking to their respective superiors

deviantART, Google, etc’s TOS

Everyone is panicking over TOS-es right now as they find a new home as Tumblr gets flushed down the toilet. I don’t like those random TOS breakdowns because the analysis is always wrong. 

Anyway this is what people pay me to do and I will now do it for $0 because I’m tired of everyone spreading misinformation. This post is not a substitute for legal advice etc. Reblogs are appreciated because I literally see TOS nonsense on my dash every day. 

Any more experienced copyright lawyers please feel free to weigh in - it’s part of my field yes, but my wheelhouse is more film production COT rather than derivative works.

Google Drive (TOS)

Google doesn’t have rights to do whatever they want to files you upload to Google Drive

Their TOSes are annoyingly broad in drafting but essentially boilerplate clauses that they need to host your work, use google translate on it, make it searchable etc. They cannot steal your fanfic. They cannot modify your art and use it for whatever.

Your work MAY be threatened (that is, deleted) thanks to FOSTA/SESTA, which imo is a clown provision signed by a clown that sent safe harbour down the toilet. This and this has more information (I’ve skimmed but not perused both), but the tl;dr is: similar to Tumblr, there was a ham-fisted attempt to protect victims of sex trafficking and all it really did was make cloud based services start deleting user files whether relevant or not. 

deviantART (Submission Policy) (TOS)

Uploading work to dA doesn’t give them a license to sell it to Hot Topic. This post is incorrect. Debunked here and corrected by the artist himself here. Your art is safe. 

There’s a breakdown of the TOS in there that’s pretty much wrong on most points, if someone wants me to do a not-wrong version, ask. This may help.

All you really need to know is that like Google, I checked it over and nothing in there puts you at risk for dA asserting ownership over your work or selling it - they need those rights for thumbnails, search functions, resizing etc. 

Sexually explicit fanart is not allowed, as well as “obscenity”, which is an oddly broad term covering things like “sexually orientated commercial telephone messages”. 

I’m not aware of any content purges.

AO3 (TOS)

Yum. I like this one. Easy to read and clearly explained for most people with basic reading comprehension. Section G - What We Do With Content will tell you everything you need to know.

Basically, they have the same clauses about you granting AO3 a license to modify/apart/etc you work, but they take the trouble to explain to you exactly what that means, and how they use it to improve accessibility etc. 

No history of content purges as far as I know. Explicit content is allowed with limits eg. no child porn. 

Wordpress (TOS)

Same deal - you’re looking for 1. Wordpress - Responsibility of Contributors, with the exact same thing as everybody else. They also do a decent job of explaining what they use the license for (though once again, it’s standard), albeit not as beautifully as AO3. 

However, images of sexual acts (including fanart) are against TOS.

I found no history of content purges.

Dreamwidth (TOS)

Same old standard licensing clause, again doesn’t let them steal your stuff.

Incredibly…open content policies…you can basically do whatever you want so long as you don’t break laws or commit fraud it seems? If I’m wrong, feel free to correct.

Hope this helps. Feel free to force me to read and explain any other site TOS documents. Again, more experienced copyright lawyers, feel free to correct me if I clowned up somewhere.

You remember that post about the homestuck t-shirt design contest collaborating with hot topic? And how Hot Topic are the biggest art thieves?  This is recent.  As you can see above, I stumbled upon Hot Topic’s website and they are selling a very popular fan art put on a t-shirt, and did not ask permission from the original artist (rismo).

This shows Hot Topic still continues their art thievery.  Hot Topic are still taking art from artists without their permission.  This is disrespectful and appalling.
