Also, check out barnesandnoble.com. They’re selling one of my fics there. DCMA takedowns filed for both sites.

Plush Books, plagiarism, but also fuck Amazon too

So, whoever is behind Plush Books is an asshole, obviously, and I hope they step on lego every day for the rest of their shitty life. 

But let’s talk for a second about Amazon, and how it’s possible to upload hundreds of fanfics to KDP, without even changing the character names and very obviously trademarked intellectual property, and it doesn’t get pinged at all? 

A while back, when I tried to republish Anhaga (a book I wrote, and the rights to which had reverted back to me) Amazon told me there was a “copyright issue” despite the fact that I had a rights reversion letter from my former publisher, and everything was completely legal and above board. 

Why the fuck did I spend a frantic week going back and forth with what felt like six million Amazon customer service reps, jumping through a bunch of hoops to prove that Anhaga was mine, I had written, and I owned the rights to it? Meanwhile they’re over here selling books that were uploaded in their hundreds over a suspiciously short period of time, without even changing the character names in an attempt to at least try to pretend they’re not stolen? 

So yeah. Fuck Plush Books, but also fuck Amazon too. 

Meanwhile, if you think Plush Books has stolen you fic, check them out here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0BMB1RG5J/allbooks?ingress=0&visitId=faaebd0a-c8cf-438d-9b29-4c623ca8cdbd&store_ref=ap_rdr&ref_=ap_rdr

Common misconceptions surrounding the care of monsters

Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT normal for a Cerberus’s heads to fight with one another; this indicates anxiety or lack of proper enrichment.

Giant spiders are actually very social creatures, and should not be housed alone.

Provide your Sphinx with enrichment by answering its riddles. Though Sphinxes can be trained to attack those who answer incorrectly, they actually normally speak in riddles as a form of social play that is essential to their development and well-being.

If you cannot provide brimstone and a large pool of lava for bathing, don’t purchase a Hellhound! They are animals with very specific care needs and their health will suffer if they are not given the proper habitat. Likewise, most Hellhound kibble brands on the market do not meet the recommended daily requirement of damned souls for Hellhounds. Always check the labels!

The practice of putting blinders over the eyes of Basilisks to make them less dangerous is cruel. Basilisks should not be kept in enclosures where people other than expert caretakers normally come into view.

Many hippocampi enjoy pulling sea chariots, boats or inflatable floats and it can be a good source of enrichment and exercise. Make this activity fun for your hippocampus by rewarding it with treats such as fish and allowing it to participate as it wants to.

A labyrinth is NOT an appropriate habitat for a Minotaur!! Minotaurs need fresh grass and shade to lie down in to be happy. Also, a diet of only human flesh will cause malnutrition. Supplement your Minotaur’s diet of kidnapped youths with a source of fiber, such as hay!

Remember, that hatchling Roc is an adorable fluff ball now, but it will eventually become a fearsome elephant-sized bird of prey with a ravenous appetite and very demanding housing requirements. A pet should always be a well-researched commitment, not an impulsive decision.

While going into the wild and gaining a dragon’s trust is often romanticized, there are many dragons in search of a loving family much closer to home! Try looking into dragon rescue organizations near you.

Some Manticores need to be fed live prey; others, however, will accept prey that has been frozen and thawed. It depends on the individual.

Even smaller species of griffin need a lot of space. Domestic rock-griffins, though only the size of a cat, need room to fly and to build large nests. If you live in an apartment, it is better to adopt one of the smallest species, such as one of many types of song-griffins! Humming-griffins, however, though you may have seen cute videos on Instagram, should be avoided because they are not domesticated and their wild populations are endangered by the pet trade. It is best to admire their iridescent feathers in visits to accredited conservation organizations!

I signed up for Disney Plus. If it doesn’t move there immediately, it will eventually.

With OUAT leaving Netflix next month I guess I need to rewatch every rumbelle episode for the 4000th time.

As long as they are self-isolating, not quarantining. Rumple doesn’t exactly enjoy being caged and I do think that sooner or later, not being able to move about freely would start to get to him. Go someplace with Belle where he can walk around and not be bothered—like the Edge of Realms, or even his cabin in the woods (with signs to warn off trespassers)—absolutely 100%. Be told that he absolutely must remain indoors under ‘house arrest’ indefinitely and he really won’t be pleased.

I saw this question asked on Twitter - about what ONCE characters would do in quarantine, and I thought that was a great question. What do you think Rumbelle would do ?

Ha ha. Well, I think we had a whole episode that showed us. They moved to the Edge of Realms and chilled at home. Quarantine Trendsetters. Ahead of their time.

So they would read and have cute picnics on the front lawn and read some more and dance in their living room and basically the whole montage from “Beauty”. 

And of a course, quite a bit of this:

Rumple would thrive in quarantine. An excuse to just stay home with Belle and Gideon and no one could bother him or ask him for anything? He’d be happy as could be.

Mother Hulda; Jorinda and Joringel; the Little Match Girl; The Emperor (Emperor’s New Clothes); Rose Red (Snow White and Rose Red, though some of the scenes with Snow and Red in S1 gave me that vibe); Faithful John; The two sisters; one who had flowers and precious stones come out her mouth when she talked, the other bugs and snakes; IF you hold that Jack and the Beanstalk and Jack the Giant-Killer are two different Jacks, the one on the show is the Giant-Killer; The Princess and the Pea; In the Perrault Beauty and the Beast, Belle had two sisters and a few brothers; Tom Thumb; There’s that horribly sexist story about the husband and wife who trade jobs for the day and discover that men are meant to be farmers and women housekeepers; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tale_of_the_Fisherman_and_the_Fish; Thumbelina

Who is a fiary tale character that doesn’t show up in Once Upon A Time?This is vital information.

Also I’m slightly attracted to Mr.Gold and I don’t know why- 

I have roped myself into yet another fandom,and that is ✨Once Upon A Time✨

It’s been in my Netflix watchlist for as long as I can remember and now I’m finally watching it.

Also I’m slightly attracted to Mr.Gold and I don’t know why-

Question: Do we know for sure it was 1912, or is this a guess? Asking because I’m writing a bit of Darlingfire now, and I had it in my head as a few years earlier (1905-06).

Why Darling Pan?

Wendy said, “He didn’t want me,” yes “he” as in Peter. Her face afterwards is also clearly upset.

When Wendy asks Bae how long she was gone and he only says a night, she said it felt much longer. Indicating it felt long since she went through a lot. The original Peter Pan story did all happen in a single night. 

Wendy describes it as saying there was mermaids and fairies, which someone was most likely showed her.

The interior of the treehouse in Neverland, look very similar to her room. Pan was the one who made it.

Peter never lied to Wendy of his plans, but he did so to all the other lost boys.

When Wendy comes back to Neverland, Peter could’ve easily killed her. But he didn’t.

There isn’t that big of an age difference considering that Wendy left in 1912, but once she got back to the real world, it was in the present.

When Wendy asks if she was free, Peter says not yet. He said yet so she won’t loose hope.

Peter threatened to kill John and Michael. That would be the only thing to make sure Wendy wouldn’t leave Neverland. He wants Wendy to stay there with him.

Peter told Wendy she put on a good show, in his tone, it seems like she had to lie like this before. 

When Wendy is on the Jolly Roger traveling back home, she looks pretty sad. Like many things are on her mind.

Someone would have to give/help Wendy get the last bit of pixie dust she has.

It is hard for Wendy to tell Bae (well now Neal) about what Peter’s plans are, even-though him and her were very close. 

Like Robbie had said, the original Peter Pan did have dark layers. Yet Wendy still was fond of him. So why couldn’t she be now?

Amen!

Long Live the Rumbelle Fandom

Reblog if you agree.

[dragonbat2011]

Agreed!

I'm trying to prove a point to my brain: Reblog if you think fanfiction does not need sex to be good.

There is a trend I’ve noticed that smut fics tend to be much more popular than anything else and honestly I just want to have something to look at to remind myself and that writing doesn’t have to have sex to be worth putting out into the community.
