YA authors: [make big noise abt how pirating books negatively affects them bc they dont get paid enough for their hard work]
also them: let’s make teenagers pay to write stories while destroying the environment and then we’ll pocket the cash AND the stories teehee
From this description by Julie Zhuo, Realms of Ruin really does appear to simply be a collaborative fanfiction project except you have to pay money in order to make stories and also harm the environment.
For a free alternative, simply join the @scpwiki and then murder a tree.
In an apparent bid to create the Worst Literary Thing Ever, six popular YA authors have come together to try and create an NFT based writing project called “Realms of Ruin”.
Marketed towards teenagers.
And which will rely upon using those teens’ creative work.
Yes. Really.
@joanhewrites i think what helped me was accepting that i’d come off as aggressive/difficult and tricking myself to believe that’s my intention in the first place so i stop seeing it as a negative!
Hey #SouthAsianArtists ! I'm Nabi, a Tamil illustrator and character designer born in Chennai and brought up in California! I love Islamic art and Tamil culture and folklore ❤️
as a Palestinian Christian who lives few kilometers away from Jerusalem, I need to get a permit from the occupation to visit this church.
please don’t tell me that life is fair.
until we acknowledge that book twt’s idea of inclusivity is prioritizing the identities and feelings of white people in the community/industry and only protecting the marginalized people who fall in line with this ideology, im pretty much DONE engaging in that space.
and yes, that above tweet goes for poc in the book community as well. every time you leverage your identity in whatever banal argument you’ve decided to engage in, think twice about who reaps the benefits from you doing that.
