February 21, 2023 - FINAL UPDATE
For a chronological timeline of the entire Harper strike, click here.
Today was the Harper Union’s first day back at their desks.
Collective action works.
The union tweeted out a full summation of their agreement with HarperCollins here, but the highlights are as follows:
Minimum wage increase, immediately to $47,500 with a ramp-up to $50,000 by 2025.
A $1,500 bonus for all union members, presumably to partially offset the costs of being left without a paycheck by their company since November
Guaranteed annual raises for all marked satisfactory or above
Union letter and membership card included in new-hire packets
Joint Labor/Management committee to meet monthly
Time on aforementioned committee and/or all company-sponsored DEI activities will be seen as and paid as work time (as opposed to the free labor junior employees were expected to contribute previously)
Juneteenth and Presidents’ Day added as permanent paid holidays (as opposed to, you know, a one-time publicity stunt a la June 2020)
Return-to-office not mandated for union employees until July 1 (currently, Harper expects employees to live and work in NYC)
The above are just the guaranteed, contractually mandated changes that will be implemented at Harper. This does not include the ripple effects that have already begun in the rest of the industry.
Collective action works.

Some of my favourite things about Howl "Mr movingcastle" Pendragon/Jenkins/whatever in no particular order
All his flanks are weak
Has a breakdown when his hair doesn't look as planned
Wanted to save a fallen star so badly that he gave it his heart
Carries around a guitar he cannot play for the °~☆aesthetic☆~°
Said he was sure a baby was his son because it was just as ugly as himself
That time in the end of cita when he spun around Sophie lives rent free in my mind
Decided to be a toddler with a lisp for weeks just cause
Is a very talented magician but does his very best to hide it
Bought a flower garden AND a flower shop for his crush
Literally made up that his crush had to visit the king so that he'd get her to visit his old teacher to get her approval to check out her curse
Proved his love by showing up to a fight without makeup or having shaved
Flirting with a girl to get her to tell him more about her sister
(She in turn flirts with him because she too wants more info on said sister)

One of my goals for 2024 is to get more people involved in Fandom. I love the communities here on Tumblr & there are so many great & clever people on here who carry so much knowledge. However, that knowledge can & should be shared - at least in my opinion - & an easy way to do that is to get involved on Fandom & their wikis.
Now, I promise, it's not intimidating - if you can create & edit a Tumblr post, you can edit articles & pages on a wiki. Here, you can find an easy step-by-step guide on how to get started with contributing, but you can also message me & maybe I can help guide you through any question marks.
For this first post, I want to highlight some wikis dedicated to children's literature that need some help & love from their fans:
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - the pages linked here need to be expanded, so if you know something, don't be shy :)
Amelia's Notebooks - the pages linked here need to be expanded
The Blackwell Pages - all pages need to be expanded on
Bone - the pages linked here need to be expanded
Boxcar Children - links need to be added to these pages
Children of the Lamp - the pages linked here need to be expanded
Charlie Bone/The Children of the Red King - all pages need to be expanded on
The Chrestomanci Series - links need to be added to these pages
Emily of New Moon - the pages linked here need to be expanded
Endling - links need to be added to these pages
----
The Green Ember - the pages linked here need to be expanded
Howl's Moving Castle - all pages need to be expanded on
Jumanji - links need to be added to these pages
Little House on the Prairie - add links from IMDb, TV.com & TV Guide to each episode's page, plus the complete cast & crew for each episode
The Magic Thief - all pages need to be expanded on
The Magic Tree House - links need to be added to these pages
The Magisterium - the pages linked here need to be expanded
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children - the pages linked here need to be expanded
Night Speakers - the pages linked here need to be expanded
Ruby Redfort - the pages linked here need to be expanded
----
The School for Good and Evil - links need to be added to these pages
Septimus Heap - the pages linked here need to be expanded
The Sisters 8 - all pages need to be expanded on
The Three Investigators - links need to be added to these pages
Tom Sawyer/Huckleberry Finn - all pages need to be expanded on
The Underland Cyclopedia - the pages linked here need to be expanded
The Unwanteds Series - links need to be added to these pages
Warhorse - all pages need to be expanded on
Wonder - pages for the cast and crew of the Wonder film need to be added
Zathura - all pages need to be expanded on
Now, this is quite an extensive list, but if your favourite book or series isn't mentioned here, I suggest checking out the literature page, the book club or go to this page & simply search for your favourite book/series/author.
To repeat what I said at the beginning of this post, there is a step-by-step guide on how to start contributing, but don't be shy to message me if you have any questions :)

January 26, 2023
For the full timeline and tons of information on the HarperCollins strike, here’s the long post.
It has been FIFTY-SIX days since the HarperCollins Union went on strike... and Harper has at last agreed to sitting down with an independent, mutually agreed upon mediator to at least discuss the Union’s demands.
What this means:
- The pressure is working. Brian Murray and the leadership at HarperCollins have spent the last fifty-six days lying, spinning, hiring scabs, and doing everything except speaking to their union employees. That they’re even willing to talk now means the steady pushback has made things uncomfortable.
Therefore: Keep writing to [email protected]! Keep supporting the strike fund! Keep buying your books through the union’s Bookshop page! And keep sharing the union’s posts online and in your in-person communities!
- The strike IS NOT OVER. No agreement has been reached. Do not post reviews of Harper titles, accept work for any of their imprints, submit manuscripts for consideration, or in any way cross that picket line.
Additionally: The union is holding two separate rallies for folks in New York. The first, on January 31, is for industry professionals. The second, on February 2, is outside the NewsCorp HQ and is for everyone. If you’re not in the metro area and can’t attend, I’m sure folks would appreciate online support. New York is cold and gross and wet right now.
This is not the time to ease up, but rather to push HarperCollins, News Corp, and Rupert Murdoch even harder to cede to the beyond reasonable demands of their employees and to put an end to this absolute farce that they initiated.

I just want to say—in howl’s moving castle, Sophie doesn’t have the brain cell. Howl is a mess but he’s operating on three different levels of weird gambit while sophie is bumbling around and shouting at stuff.
But, by house of many ways? THERE sophie has the brain cell. Howl is still working hard but it’s overpowered by his antics.
In castle in the air, no one has ANY brain cells.

Some things I like about Sophie Hatter. In no particular order
Oldest daughter syndrome
Once ordered oxygen to surround her so she and her company could breathe on high altitude
Was inside for so long that going out to town in her hometown seemed an almost insurmountable task
Can speak things into reality
She's in love and she hates it
That one time the Big Bad is holding her husband in a chokehold and she laughs because she has such belief that he'll make it out not only unscathed but also victorious
Bullied her way into getting a job as a cleaner
Hates car rides
Made an army of rocking horses protect her child
Is genuinely kind
... and will put her nose in every person's business
Almost made her crush get married to a toddler
Believes the Rules should be followed at all times. What rules? Varies and is sometimes unclear
