I NEED to understand how this guy’s brain works

Hey you! Yeah, you!

The person about to leave a critical comment on someone else’s creation!

I have a question for you: Have you checked your MAPS?

“What’s MAPS you ask? Well it’s a simple little way to remember if the criticism you’re giving is worth posting! It’s as easy as M-A-P-S!

First, does it come from a place of Mutual Respect?

Do you know the author or artist? Do you know them outside of their work? Would you want to hear their opinion on your work? Do you have any work to compare?

Is it the Appropriate Forum?

Are you cold-messaging them via the comments section on AO3? Is this during another conversation you were already having? Will they get a notification and get all excited only to see it’s you picking apart their art?

Do you have Permission?

Did they ask you for input? Did you ask them if they wanted input? Remember, kids, there’s a word for people who give unwanted negative input: asshole!

Is it Specific?

Are you focusing on one or two aspects, or are you criticizing the entire vibe? If you dislike the piece as a whole, maybe it just isn’t for you!

If you answered “no” to any of these questions, put down the keyboard and do something else! Your criticism is probably bad!

And remember, criticism that doesn’t follow the MAPS is just SPAM!

No art today due to art block and college, but you guys can have a quick late night pen sketch of infinite/zero tho

if you like strawberry shortcake or care bears, please consider buying something from the original creator and designer, Muriel Fahrion! she NEVER got paid royalties for creating/designing strawberry shortcake and care bears to this day. huge franchises that have profited off her work for over 40 years.

she went through incredibly tough times as an artist and went into debt after her husband died. in 2019 she started being more public on social media about being the original creator of these iconic characters. despite everything, she still loves strawberry shortcake and spreads nothing but kindness and positivity on her instagram (everyday she always posts a daily video of her dancing in her kitchen :) she’s so full of joy) it would mean a lot if you supported her and bought something cute from her website!

Quick PSA, if you get one of those "Work scanned, AI use detected" comments on AO3, just mark them as spam.

Some moron apparently built a bot to annoy or prank hundreds of authors.

There is no scanning process, your work doesn't actually resemble AI writing, it's all bullshit. Mark the comment as spam (on AO3, not the email notification you got about the comment!) and don't let it get to you.

If you’re just as displeased about the organization that runs AO3 kicking someone for being pro-Palestine (source 1) (source 2) as I am, here are some things you can do…

Use the OTW contact form and the AO3 feedback form to voice your displeasure. Additionally, inform them exactly how you will be withdrawing support until this issue is resolved.

Stop donating to AO3. This is an obvious one, but important. If you have previously donated, but will no longer be doing so, be sure to say it in your feedback form submission!

Switch fanfiction sites. Both for reading, AND for uploading. Alternatives include WattPad, Fanfiction.net, tumblr itself, or even hosting your fanfiction on a site of your own, via Neocities. Don’t want to stop using AO3’s tagging system? Check out SquidgeWorld, which uses AO3’s open-source code. It even has a rule against CSEM! While AO3 doesn’t get money from ad revenue, seeing the number of visitors drop will certainly get the message across.

Encourage others to do the same, and spread the word!

Photographer Gunarto Song captured a remarkable photo of a meteor falling “into” a volcano ( Mount Merapi, the most active volcano in Indonesia), and the resulting shot looks like there’s a green beam of light shooting up from the crater. (SOURCE)
