#also please don't witchhunt it's not worth the time

[ftmtftm]

Hey anyway you can put out a "please don't harass these guys" post bc witchhunt posts are already being made. Yes one of them made a shit joke that wasn't all that funny, but running them off of tumblr and sending death threats is dogshit behavior.

Yeah absolutely - Hopefully this suffices for now but if not I'll make another post when I have more time!

If anyone uses my expression of disappointment as a reason to run people off Tumblr or send death threats or any other form of harassment please know I have no community with you and your actions are also extremely wrong!! Harassing people for a bad joke is also shitty and horrible - especially if it escalates to the point of death threats.

It's not that hard to say "this behavior sucks", ask people to correct it, and move on if they're willing to change (and if they're not? Don't waste your time on them! Sometimes it's not worth your energy!)

hey so

i know we’re all excited for crystal kingdom to come out (i am too!!) but when it does, please keep in mind:

- the artists for the fanart gallery were originally offered $100 which, from a bestselling publishing company, is unacceptable. we would never have been paid more if people hadn’t spoken up about it.

- we submitted our work in mid october and were told we would be sent our contracts within two weeks. i was finally paid less than a month ago.

- some people still haven’t been paid.

- personally, this was hands down the worst freelance i have ever done. the level of stress and anticipation and not-knowing was awful and i know i’ll question working for any major company in the future.

- this is not the mcelroys’ fault, however first second has a history of not treating their artists with the respect and professionalism we deserve and it clearly hasn’t gotten any better.
