Go take a look and place an order if you want. Currently I’m only shipping within the US, but I’ll look at shipping internationally as well, if everything works out.
Starting stock includes Black Widow, Agent Carter, Hawkeye, Captain America, and Winter Soldier. More designs will follow. Pictures below the cut.
I did not turn on custom requests, but if you have a character you would like to see a journal for, send me an ask and I will consider it.
Please check it out and even if you can’t afford anything yourself, a signal boost would be phenomonal.
Remember the Goodreads fanfic debaucle? Well, another site is now doing it. I just found 13 of my stories listed over on ebooks-tree.com, a for-profit site where I neither uploaded them nor authorized anyone else to do so.
I have a very clear statement that says I do not want my works or translations published on any platform other than AO3, for various reasons, yet this seems to have been completely ignored.
They make revenue off your work via ads and if you want to see any reviews which have been left on it, they want you to create an account with TzarMedia for access.
“Access Required.You need to create an account to gain permission to access unlimited downloads & streaming.“
“Take advantage of our special promotional offer to gain unlimited access for 5 days for free.”
Which, gee, that last line sounds like they’re charging for access to your works, too.
If you write fanfic, please check the site for your own works, Google for your name and the ebooks-tree site.
I just wrote them a letter requesting that they be removed. I guess we’ll see what happens.
This is not a comprehensive list – please check the site for your works.
Please reblog/signal boost this so as many authors as possible know about it.
If you find your works on their site, please leave a comment so we can get a more comprehensive list of everyone whose work has been compromised.
Also, even though mine is a long list, it is nowhere near all-encompassing. If you have time and energy to do so, please check for other authors that you’ve read or actively follow (if they’re not already listed above) and let them (and us) know if their works show up there.
Note: Valeria2067 pointed out the link to get these removed, and it’s a rather arduous process here. I’m not sure if we actually need to provide all that or not. Especially if there are a whole slew of us and they were obviously harvested without our permission from AO3 (a good number of mine were *only* posted there, so it makes it rather obvious). I’ve written AO3 to see if they can aid us in the removal.
I’m on here (under all 3 names too) so yeah, take a look and see if you’re stuff got scraped up too.
Two weeks ago I lost my job. I’ve been able to start some freelance work, but was relying on my husband’s job for insurance and to pay the rent. Today he walked in the door and told me he was fired.
While I’m of course hopeful that we can both find work again soon, we’re concerned with being able to make rent at the end of this month. Anything beyond that would go to other bills and utilities.
Guys I hate to do it, but I’m freaking out right now about being able to pay rent at the end of the month. Anything would be appreciated.
I have 2 neurological disorders that affect my ability to work at times. I’m going through a divorce I was not expecting. We don’t have a lot of assets at all, so I’m going to be leaving with basically just my belongings.
I have two jobs and I’m working 50+ hours a week at federal minimum wage(fuck Georgia man), so that I can save up to move 2600+ miles to get back home after the actual divorce, because I moved across the country for his job. The more money I can get from Etsy, Commissions, and donations/tips, the sooner I can reduce my work hours for my health.
If you want more details, go ahead and click through.
If you’ve always wanted a Janto321 fic you haven’t read yet, now is your chance.
I know I tend to write a bit on the short side, so I’m going with prices as follows:
up to 1k $10 | 1k to 2.5k $15 | up to 5k $20
Anything above that, we can discuss. My ships page is here. I have no problem with smut or most kinks. Always down for threesomes, but I also don’t mind writing 2k of fluff. I can work with most AUs, Omegaverse, whatever. If it isn’t on that ship page, ask. If I’m familiar enough with something I might still take a crack at it.
Pretty much my only no goes are RPF (unless they’re already a couple) and Major Character Death (unless it’s temporary, i.e. vampires or Jack Harkness)
Payments will be made via PayPal on delivery. If you’re interested, you can send an ask or email merindawrites@gmail.com
So the only all-bird rehab center in North Texas is about to shut down…
I can’t even put into words how upset I am about this. Rogers Wildlife Rehabilitation has been open for almost twenty years, and is the only place in North Texas that takes in literally any type of bird if it’s been injured, orphaned, or otherwise incapacitated. They’re finally out of funds, and if they can’t come up with anything by April 2nd, they’re going to be forced to close their doors.
They’ve never turned away birds. Not when it’s a surprise 200 baby cattle egrets that’ve been orphaned because city planners thought they could cut down their homes and no one would notice. Not when it’s raptors with one good eye and in need of seven different antibiotics. Not even when it’s ducks that irresponsible parents won’t let their kids keep after easter. This is where anyone let me first get up close to birds. I mean, I’ve known I wanted to work with birds and wildlife since I was seven- I’m twenty four now, and halfway through an environmental science master’s and it’s a big reason I kept going.
I’ve been going to this place on and off for ten years, I was THIRTEEN when I started volunteering and seeing all the terrible things that happen to the birds that come in. Not just…hit by trucks, or caught in a hailstorm but parrots that have been left in foreclosed houses for weeks, and roosters that have come out of cock fighting rings and would otherwise be put down because the SPCA and humane societies don’t think they’re salvageable. There’s an emu that was raised there as a baby because no one wanted her. Her name’s Riley and I can’t even begin to comprehend what shutting the doors to the center would mean?
They don’t get government aid. They’ve been funded by the public donating and Kathy, the lady who owns the place, going through her retirement funds and savings and her social security to keep it running. She’s finally run out of money. Please, just reblog? Even if you can’t donate anything- and I know it’s a lot to ask for poor teenage/college kids to donate money that they don’t have, or struggling artists I know but maybe someone who can spare something will see it eventually? They need $200,000 to keep open for a year, if they stop paying workers. And they’re all willing to not get paid if it means these birds will have somewhere to go, somewhere to stay if they need it.
Please consider donating—even just a dollar. Even if you can just reblog it, perhaps one of your followers can help. A cause like this is very near and dear to my heart. I volunteer at International Bird Rescue in Los Angeles and places like these are run on a shoestring budget and rely almost completely from volunteer help.
