"In an unprecedented step to preserve and maintain the most carbon-rich elements of U.S. forests in an era of climate change, President Joe Biden’s administration last week proposed to end commercially driven logging of old-growth trees in National Forests.

Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, who oversees the U.S. Forest Service, issued a Notice of Intent to amend the land management plans of all 128 National Forests to prioritize old-growth conservation and recognize the oldest trees’ unique role in carbon storage.

It would be the first nationwide amendment to forest plans in the 118-year history of the Forest Service, where local rangers typically have the final word on how to balance forests’ role in watershed, wildlife and recreation with the agency’s mandate to maintain a “sustained yield” of timber.

“Old-growth forests are a vital part of our ecosystems and a special cultural resource,” Vilsack said in a statement accompanying the notice. “This clear direction will help our old-growth forests thrive across our shared landscape.”

But initial responses from both environmentalists and the logging industry suggest that the plan does not resolve the conflict between the Forest Service’s traditional role of administering the “products and services” of public lands—especially timber—and the challenges the agency now faces due to climate change. National Forests hold most of the nation’s mature and old-growth trees, and therefore, its greatest stores of forest carbon, but that resource is under growing pressure from wildfire, insects, disease and other impacts of warming.

Views could not be more polarized on how the National Forests should be managed in light of the growing risks.

National and local environmental advocates have been urging the Biden administration to adopt a new policy emphasizing preservation in National Forests, treating them as a strategic reserve of carbon. Although they praised the old-growth proposal as an “historic” step, they want to see protection extended to “mature” forests, those dominated by trees roughly 80 to 150 years old, which are a far larger portion of the National Forests. As old-growth trees are lost, which can happen rapidly due to megafires and other assaults, they argue that the Forest Service should be ensuring there are fully developed trees on the landscape to take their place...

The Biden administration’s new proposal seeks to take a middle ground, establishing protection for the oldest trees under its stewardship while allowing exceptions to reduce fuel hazards, protect public health and safety and other purposes. And the Forest Service is seeking public comment through Feb. 2 (Note: That's the official page for the proposed rule, but for some reason you can only submit comments through the forest service website - so do that here!) on the proposal as well as other steps needed to manage its lands to retain mature and old-growth forests over time, particularly in light of climate change.

If the Forest Service were to put in place nationwide protections for both mature and old-growth forests, it would close off most of the National Forests to logging. In an inventory concluded earlier this year in response to a Biden executive order, the Forest Service found that 24.7 million acres, or 17 percent, of its 144.3 million acres of forest are old-growth, while 68.1 million acres, or 47 percent, are mature."

-via Inside Climate News, December 20, 2023

-

Note: This proposed rule is current up for public comment! If you're in the US, you can go here to file an official comment telling the Biden administration how much you support this proposal - and that you think it should be extended to mature forests!

Official public comments really DO matter. You can leave a comment on this proposal here until February 2nd.

FFVII Rare Pair Week 2024

Urban Dictionary defines rarepair as “A ship or pairing that not many people ship or is very rare to find fanfiction and fanart of. Typically happens within small fandoms or with minor characters.” So what’s your favourite Final Fantasy VII related rare pair? Do you have more than one? Here’s a chance to showcase them and help them move up from being rare! Not all parts of the pairing have to be from FFVII, and you don’t have to do the same pairing or group for the whole week! ** Pairings can be romantic or platonic. ** Below we have a list of prompts for this year. Feel free to be as creative with those as you want to, and take your time working on your entries, but please don’t forget to post them on the right date if you can. (But remember, no matter how late it’s better than never!)

For this event we are using a category approach. You can use the category as a theme for your prompt and the listed items suggested ideas. If none of the prompts give you any ideas, don’t worry! You can create anything you like for the week, provided it involves a rare pair! The goal of the week is to celebrate and share our rare pairs more than to just follow a list. Be it art, writing, mood boards, or even fic recs, just spread the love!

Feb. 16 | Day 1. Weather. Sunshine. Rain. Storms. The weather can create a meaningful moment, or a huge inconvenience.

Feb. 17 | Day 2. Unexpected Challenges. How does your pairing deal with an unexpected challenge? (For example, they come back home from a trip to find the pipes have frozen and they have no running water. Is one of them using the last of the drinking water to save their dying house plants while the other is desperately melting snow to keep the humans alive?)

Feb. 18 | Day 3. Favourite Things. From favourite things about each other to favourite items of clothing stolen to wear around the house (much to the other’s chagrin), or favorite things to do for or with each other.

Feb. 19 | Day 4. Near Death Experiences. For the angst lovers, the whumpers, this could be a true near death experience. For the lighter side, it could be something much less serious but someone is clearly being dramatic for sympathy. 😀

Feb. 20 | Day 5. Free Day/Combo Day. Combo space to mix and match prompts from this year (or a previous year’s list) or go wherever your canoe takes you!

Feb. 21 | Day 6. Events. Holidays, celebrations, traditions. Whether it’s a joyful day like a birthday or one of mourning like a memorial, there are many days throughout the year that bring us together. What’s a day that’s important to your pairing, or a time that brought them together for something that isn’t part of their regular day to day?

Feb. 22 | Day 7. Stories. Stories play a big part in our lives. They inspire, they entertain, they teach. Is there a story that your characters hold dear, or that they recount often to friends (or their kids)? (Or is there a story about your rare pair that you want to recommend to others today?)

Need more inspiration? Our past prompt lists can be found below, and you’re welcome to use any of them!

2023 List | 2022 List | 2020 List | 2019 List | 2018 List

Also, mod Asylos is taking requests for things to write again this year. That’s right, you can get something written for your rare pair, and not just do all the heavy lifting yourself. Send in your requests as an ask any time now up until the end of the event week.

Please remember to include the week’s tag (ffviirarepairweek) within the first 5 tags or else we might be unable to find your work! We will NOT accept/reblog anything containing Character/Ship Hate, so avoid including those in your entries. Also don’t repost anyone else’s work as your own! You are welcome to reblog other’s posts, but credit where credit is due.

You can submit your works on AO3 to the event collection at https://archiveofourown.org/collections/FFVIIrarepairweek

And if you have any questions, don’t be afraid of sending in an ask.

We hope it turns out to be a fun event for everyone!

RAIN CODE ZINE - Interest Check Results!

Hello! After a week, we've gathered an encouraging 88 responses! With that in mind, I've decided to go through with the zine 🎉🎉🎉

Here is the full results report:

In terms of participating, we have an overwhelming majority wishing to participate as artists! There's a fairly even split between writers and readers only, and just slightly less on anyone willing to take on either writer/artist roles. With this in mind, I've considered having this zine include 24 artists, 3 digital merch artists, and 6 writers, not including the moderators.

Here are the results regarding the zine's theme. We will be focusing on a general RAIN CODE zine! However, there will still be a theme so the zine can remain cohesive.

The theme is: A Trip Down Memory Lane!

For this theme, I'm hoping for a variety of pieces focusing on each chapter of the story, from the prologue to the epilogue. I'll permit some pre-game and post-game works as well, but would prefer a major focus on the canon story.

We have a staggering dominance of people preferring to be an art moderator. Even with this in mind, we will be accepting one art moderator and one writing moderator. I will handle scheduling. Applications for both will be sent out soon.

Most people have agreed on a writer/artist collaboration, which means that 6 of the artist participants will be paired with a corresponding writer to draw art that accompanies their writing.

Most folks would be willing to have digital merch attached to the zine! We will accept 3 artists to make digital merchandise. The merchandise doesn't need to fit into any one chapter, so the rules will be a bit looser on what the art can portray.

And those are the results!

Regarding some suggestions and questions asked in the interest check:

You should add keychains/physical merch/ physical copies. Full disclosure, this is the first zine I've ever run, so this zine will be a free, digital only PDF. This is to keep it as simple and manageable as possible.

A cosplay section? I would count cosplay under art. When I release artist applications, cosplayers are welcome to submit cosplay photos and even create them as entries to the final product.

Artists should make promo art! Once I have co-moderators and participants, any artists who are willing to offer simple doodles for promotional material are welcome to contribute.

Link contributor's Ao3 accounts in the zine? The zine will offer full credits for all participants in the zine. This includes any preferred social media accounts for sites such as Ao3, Wattpad, Twitter, Tumblr, and anywhere else.

How will this be scheduled? I intend to drop a full schedule post soon, but the basic rundown will be: 15 Jan - 22 Jan: Moderator Applications 24 Jan - 25 Jan: Moderator acceptance/rejection emails sent out, mods invited to the zine's discord server and emailing list. 1 Feb - 20 Feb: Artist/Writer Applications 25 Feb - 29 Feb: Artist/Writer acceptance/rejection emails sent out, participants invited to join the discord server and emailing list. 1 March - 15 Jun: Production period, with monthly progress check-ins for all participants 16 Jun - 29 Jun: Countdown period 30 Jun: Zine releases

I assure you, Vivia Twilight will appear at least one time in this zine!

As an additional note, I'd like to thank @rararazaquato for coming up with the title of the zine!

And thank you everyone for your responses!

Answering some questions

We are looking for artists who can create pieces with fully rendered fairies and a background within the specified schedule. These can be digital artworks that are flat colour artworks, paintings, a mixture, or another style entirely.

We will also accept mixed media and traditional artworks, but they will need to be scanned at a minimum of 300dpi.

~

When you sign up for an artist position, are there any requirements to be a part of the team?

E-mail communication is required (discord is optional).

You must have a PayPal account to receive payment.

You must be able to communicate comfortably in English.

You must be 18 or older at the time of signing the contract by the 16th of February.

~

For artists accepted into the zine what would be the timeline for completing and submitting artwork?

Our current schedule for the artists requires concept ideas to be submitted by Feb 16th, and the final version by May 16th! Progress check-ins will be on Feb 29th, March 21st, and April 11th.

(In the image there is also a table including this information as well as the final submissions date being May 16th)

~

When the zine is for sale, where would the profits go to (charity, zine admin, etc.)?

We are aiming to hold pre-orders in June/July of 2024, with a flat fee paid to all contributors and additional proceeds split between contributors and mods.

Our priority is to make sure each contributor is paid fairly for their work. If sales do well enough, 20% will be used for future books and projects, and 80% split between taxes and fees, production costs, contributors and shipping costs.

~

Is this physical or digital and will there be prints of the art available? Got any merch ideas planned to go along with the zine?

Both physical and digital! Our goal is to make a 210 x 148 mm (A5) perfect-bound soft cover book.

We also plan to add some paper merch, including prints of some of the art from the book. Additional merch ideas include stickers, sticker sheets and bookmarks.

~

Will this be focused just on lesbians, or can this include other sapphics? Also, does the focus have to be on women/femmes or can it be broader across non-binary folks?

The term “butch” can mean more than identifying as lesbian or masculine, it overlaps and intersects with so many other factions of queer identity and we want to celebrate that! We don’t want to exclude anyone and how the term “Butch” resonates with them.

There are so many talented artists in our community, and we want to show them off in our art zine! And we look forward to having artists explore the theme in their own interesting and different ways.

So yes, all gender identities are welcome here, and artists are welcome to explore those in their art for this zine.

~

Why just butch faeries? Will there be a femme faeries? Interested in both.

This zine focuses on butch depictions of fairies, as it’s something we don’t get to see very often and want to celebrate in particular at this time.

That being said, artists will be able to draw multiple fairies in their illustrations if they wish, including femme fairies. We will simply ask that the butch fairies be the main centerpoint of the artworks.

If accepted as a contributor, you may also ask a mod for further clarification when settling on an idea for your illustration.

Is this zine for “butch” creators only? Can people who don't identify as butch apply?

Anyone can apply for an artist position or writer position for our zine, you need not identify as butch or queer. That being said, we will be prioritizing queer creators, and specifically butch creators for positions on this project.

We will also have sensitivity consultants on this project, to oversee the work and ensure that butch people are being represented authentically and respectfully.

HP Wedding Fest

Welcome to HP Wedding Fest!

This is an anonymous, prompting-based fest for fic and art featuring weddings, engagements, and courting.

The work can be any genre or theme but it must contain some aspect of weddings, courtings, bondings, etc. Polyamory and unique bonding situations are most welcome.

We would love to see plot devices such as arranged marriages, marriage of convenience, soul bonds that lead to matrimony, established marriage, honeymoons … the list goes on!

For more information, including rules and deadlines, see below the cut.

Timeline

Prompting: Feb 24 - March 24 Claiming begins: March 26 Work submission deadline: May 26 Posting begins: June 2 Posting ends: TBD Authors revealed: TBD

Rules

This fest is open to creators over the age of 18.

Your submission must be complete and original to the fest. Previously posted works, works in progress, or sequels to existing works will not be accepted. We encourage the use of beta-readers and reserve the right to refuse a fic if there are too many SPaG (spelling, punctuation and grammar) errors.

All works will be hosted on AO3, so you must have an AO3 account to participate. Your work must comply with AO3 terms of service. The mods will ensure that all works comply with the terms of service and will need to be added as co-creator to works posted on AO3. The mods reserve the right to make other judgment calls on an as-needed basis to refuse a piece.

This fest is inclusive of many themes you personally may dislike. We will not tolerate bashing of ships or characters, or kink shaming. Please adhere to "don't like; don't read."

We encourage a wide range of ships and characters for this fest. Kink, dark fic, non-con, dub-con, ABO/bestiality are welcome!

Works for this fest cannot include sexual depictions of characters under the age of 18 or incestual relationships.

Artist Guidelines

Each art submission must be a stand-alone piece and exclusive to this fest.

Each submission must demonstrate approximately 2 hours worth of effort. Although this is an anon fest, you are welcome to include your personal watermark on the piece when it is uploaded to AO3 to prevent theft.

In addition to compliance with AO3’s terms of service, please do not submit explicit artwork depicting minors.

Author Guidelines

Each written submission must be a stand-alone piece and exclusive to this fest.

All written stories must be a minimum of 1,000 words with no maximum word count.

We strongly encourage that fics be beta read. The mods are more than happy to help find you a beta. Participants can also indicate they are willing to beta for other participants in the sign up form.

Prompts

You will use airtable to submit your prompts; the link will be available when prompting opens. You may submit up to 20 prompts, as long as they fit the parameters of the fest.

All accepted prompts will be available to view on the airtable gallery (the link will be available when prompting opens). Anyone can submit a prompt; you will not be required to submit a claim in order to submit a prompt and vice versa.

You may submit prompts anonymously. By submitting a prompt under your AO3 name, you agree to receive either fic or art.

Claims

After prompting is over, there will be another airtable link to submit your claims. We will cap participants at 40 for both fic and art.

Prompts are claimed on a first-come, first-served basis. You will receive an email confirming your prompt and your signup. If you finish writing your fic and wish to claim a second prompt, you are welcome to do so even after claiming closes. Before submitting a second claim form, please submit your first finished piece to the AO3 collection and wait for approval to claim another prompt.

Each prompt will be allowed 1 claim in each medium - Fic and Artwork.

We also encourage you to participate in the fest community by leaving kudos and a kind comment on other participants' works.

Self Prompts

You can self-prompt on the claiming form after the prompting period ends. The mods will email you to either approve your prompt or let you know that it does not meet the criteria for the fest.

Drop Outs and Extensions

If you need to drop out at any time or request an extension, please contact the mods. Extensions will be at the mods’ discretion and dependent on the size of the fest.

Submissions and Posting

All artwork and written stories must be posted on AO3 to the HPWeddingFest collection by the deadline. You will need to add the mod account “FestsAccount” as co-creator. We will inform you of the reveal date for your fic prior to posting.

When you post your work to the collection, also email us the following information:

Subject line: AO3 username, fic or art, prompt # Title: AO3 account: Prompt #: Ship or Gen: Rating: Wordcount/Art medium: Warnings: Summary: Link to work:

You may claim one additional prompt if you have posted your first fic to the collection and received approval from the mods.

Please note that the anonymous period remains in effect until the final masterlist is posted, and so please do not reveal yourself on any social media platform or discord server until reveals.

Contact Us

You can reach the mods via the Tumblr Ask Box, or at [email protected]. The mods are @maraudersaffair and @ladderofyears. We hope you are as excited for this fest as we are!
