IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR WRITERS AND ARTISTS ACROSS TUMBLR!
If you didn’t already know this, Tumblr allows for third party access (like a lot of social media platforms) INCLUDING A.I MODELS.
Why is this important for writers (especially fanfic authors as it pertains to me and a lot of my moots) ?? THIS MEANS THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF PEOPLE OUT OF YOUR CONTROL AND WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE PROFITING OFF YOUR WORK!
What can you do to prevent this?
You’re going to go to the settings of your main blog page AND all of your side blog pages. Scroll all the way down your settings menu to Visibility. Click on it and make sure that Prevent Third Party sharing is ON to enable it!
“So we can’t write Black characters?🧍🏾♀️” No one said that but if they did they’d have every right. Within two weeks we have learned that not only did a white woman write a “Black romance” but that it will be marketed during Black History Month among other unbelievable things and that another white woman thinks that we put bacon grease in our hair…Tell me why we would want you to write Black characters when y’all are always doing something you’re not supposed to. Touching our experiences without an ounce of research is very bold. Of course you’re getting cussed out and left bad reviews. You thought you had a right to tell that story when you didn’t. If you want to include us in your stories do so without overstepping. That’s all.
I stopped sending paragraphs, stopped begging, I stopped telling people how to treat me, and started walking away, blocking, and distancing myself. Life may be lonely, but it's becoming peaceful. Sometimes being alone in life is better than being surrounded by half-ass people.
