Update on the Unfortunate Situation

I don’t want to get into it too much because it’s a very frustrating situation for me. Basically, someone reported me for breaking Ao3′s no commerce policy. I know this policy very well. I’ve accidentally broken it in the past, so I take care to operate within the ToS. I do not link to or mention my patreon. I encourage people to go to social media to find ways to support me. This is 100% within the guidelines set by Ao3 and within the example language they use in their ToS. Despite this, they’ve decided to suspend my account for 90 days and hide The Marks We Make from public access. 

I’ve been in contact with them. I’ve explained the situation and how I do not break their rules. I explained how I use the language they say to use with their own examples. Because I have a previous offense, they refused to change my suspension status. Instead, they use other examples of “breaking” ToS. A specific example they used is that by saying “Sorry for the late update, Sora has been busy with commissions” is apparently advertising for Sora. They also said, specifically, that I mention my patreon in comments, despite the fact that I rarely, if almost never, reply to comments on Ao3. Let alone so blatantly break policy this way.

Bottom line, this is bullshit. But Ao3 is refusing to listen to me and is grasping at straws to hold my suspension simply because it’s not my first offense. It’s unfair to me, and it’s unfair to you guys. It’s my opinion that they don’t want to admit their mistake. It’s also clear to me that whoever reported me doesn’t actually know the rules of the ToS. So. Thanks for that. But I’m tired of fighting with them, and I’m moving on.

Until the suspension is lifted, we’ll do what we can. This is unfortunate. It is still frustrating to no end. I’ll still be writing in the meantime. I will still be writing for my Patreon rewards. I’ll still be writing my oneshots, my drabbles, and working on my major fics as well as upcoming fics. Things will upload to Ao3 once the suspension is lifted.

The Marks We Make will return to Ao3 on November, 13th. Until then, the newest chapter ((chapter nine)) will be available on a temporary google doc. If you would like to read the whole story ((it’s too long to put on a google doc)), you can find the download links below. On mobile, the links may not work directly in the tumblr app. Especially the EPUB option. Open the link in safari (or your phone’s browser) for access. 

Thank you all for your support <33

I absolutely love TMWM and was really inspired by the changing seasons in chapter 6. It reminded me of the monarchs that migrate through our town about that time. Thank you for the talent you've shared with us!

So the new TMWM chapter came out today and somehow this ended up like this. First time trying out something like this, but I found some old face paint? Not much colors to work with but prosthetics are grey anyway. I’m actually kinda pround of this? I expected some kind of a disaster.

Inspired by the Klance fic “The marks we make”

Did more art inspired by “The Marks We Make” klance fic by @wittyy-name with art from @wolfpainters. @the-marks-we-make

Hey! You should definitely let your followers know that art on your skin should be done with body-safe paints. Acrylic paints are really bad for your skin and can be the root of serious problems. Keep on keepin' on. -Your friendly neighborhood spiderman

^^^ this is probably a good idea to you guys who are doing TMWM arts (which are always pleasant to see!!) take care of yourselves!

The Marks We Make: chapter 2 The amount of practice I needed to get this done doesn’t get CLOSE to the amount of white layers and countorcionism I applied to this. @wolfpainters and @wittyy-name sempais please notice me.
