Today, Amazon announced the imminent launch of its newest endeavor, Kindle Worlds, a publishing platform for fanfiction. When I read the announcement, I was horrified, then angry, then sad. I want to take a moment to explain why this is such a tragedy.
This is REALLY IMPORTANT guys. AO3 is so special as a platform. Don’t get suckered in by shiny features or whatever!
If you don’t feel like reading after the read more, here is the most important stand out of Kindle World’s TOS.
“By using the platform, authors give all rights to the work to Amazon, who can then license your elements to other authors with no compensation to the original poster.”
If you want to retain rights to your work, don’t use this site. Stick to AO3.
This is just sad, I don’t dislike Amazon but why was this necessary? Why would Amazon even want that? This is just awful and wrong support Ao3 and other sites that DON’T ask such things. Srs wtf
my first time drawing rogue!!! this was so fun ;;-;; <3 @0akdown in the server asked for rogue in a sunflower yellow dress!!! i thought it was such a cute idea omggg
(please dont steal, this is my own work <3)
Omg this is gorgeous and I love the dress design, especially the lacy top and float sleeves!!
vILLAINZ Zz :0
scarecrow looking lankier than usual but i still love him anyway
…I’m beginning to realise that perhaps I shouldn’t be allowed to draw at this hour in the night. The brain seems to produce weird things. Ehm. :P
P.S I do love the comics with an unsettlingly serious Hatter though… Ok bye. Good day.
