UPDATE: As of 25/04/2025, 4chan is back up and running again. This post and its addendum will be kept as is, and will no longer be updated unless it goes back down again. If you were on /ghost/, it was a pleasure shitposting with you.
All right, I know no one gives a shit, but let me give you a recounting of the fall of 4chan from the perspective of someone who was there and has been lurking both 4chan and tumblr for a few years now.
I'll try to provide as much context as I can, but a lot of images were either lost or im too lazy to look for them in the +5000 reply thread in soyjak party.
Anyways, info below:
So, necessary context: a few years back, 4chan had a board called /qa/, which if you know little about the page, you may think every board is like /b/ or /pol/, which means a containment cess pool of grifters, (you) baiters, incels, and other deranged individuals. The thing is, /qa/ was somehow worse. The entire board was plagued and infested with soyjack edits, board culture was a nuclear disaster, anons were incredibly hostile in there, you know the drill, the big bad 4chan, but this time its actually true.
One day, moderation deleted /qa/, anons that posted there got mad, tried to raid other boards, failed, and then moved on to an altchan called soyjack party, which entire purpose you can guess from its name alone.
Apparently, the boards that allow pdf uploads (paper and origami, for example) didn't check if the uploaded file was actually a pdf file, so postscript files could be used to get access. This is as far as my understanding of web backend goes, sorry.
The hacker claims to have been working on this since 2021, and that he had access since about a year ago, but was recopilating data.
Now, what actually happened when the hack ocurred? Well, a banner of miku dancing with a song that played automatically was placed on top of every board, with the text "/QA/ IS BACK", this was possible because apparently no board was ever deleted, they were just hidden from the public.
A thread was then made on soyjack party, claiming authorship over the hack, and shit went south from there. Anons went en masse to talk there, a lot of weird discussion happened, the thread got the bump limit removed and got pinned, more than 5k posts were amassed on the first night alone. Keep in mind this happened at about 8 pm and most of the stuff went on through midnight.
So, the hacker leaked some things, first of all, the html files for the entirety of /j/ and the email address for every moderation member (important note: the pressence of .gov mails was disproven by the hacker themselves, so i guess there were never any feds), what is /j/? the board exclusive for jannies and moderators to discuss actions taken on the website regarding spam, ban evaders, threads spiraling out of control, etc. Among other things, some of the inner workings of 4chan got revealed, such as the web extension for jannies that allows them to do their job easily, how reports are handled, and other stuff. (Anecdotically, some guy got permabanned for calling anons jews or n-words over a 100 times in the same few threads)
Then, the source code got leaked. Important to say, the hacker removed the part of the source code related to the captcha, as to not facilitate bot attacks on the future, and all information related to email verification or 4chan pass users information also got removed, so all in all users are safe.
What was found on the sourcecode? That it was old, mostly. Most boards used code that hasn't been updated since about 2016, and /flash/ used the exact same code from when it was created back on 2011.
From there, desuarchive, a site that archives threads that die from bump limit, opened a dragon ball general on ghost mode, and thus began what later got called /ghost/, a solely text based thread with well over 20k replies as of right now, where a fraction of the 4chan population took refuge and is currently discussing random things with no particular topic. Kinda hard to read, but its comfy.
What does this mean for other sites? Not a lot, really. A lot of anons already crossposted in 4chan and tumblr already, and the ones that din't most likely wont come here. Some of the bigger/most dedicated groups, like /vt/, migrated to other boards. Various altchans are trying/tried to catch some of the flock of users that got lost, but i doubt it will get anywhere, since soyjak party for example was struggling with just the influx of users that came for the hack thread given its poor infrastructure. Kiwifarms saw a surge of new accounts apparently, but a lot of anons kinda loathe the idea of having to register, so theres that.
Smaller communities, such as generals that didn't get a lot of traffic, or boards on the slower end (say, /ic/, /lit/, etc) will probably vanish or disseminate until (or if) 4chan comes back up. I'd say give it a month, don't get your hopes up whether you want it to stay dead or want it to come back.
Given how many anons are staying on places like /ghost/ or other similar archives with the same ghost posting feature, i doubt it will be as bad as people are making it sound. Besides, the communities that are most likely to migrate to places like tumblr are either /co/, /vg/ or /lgbt/ refugees, which aren't THAT bad. Not every board was like the main cesspools (/b/, /r9k/, /pol/).
From now on, either 4chan comes back up in a few weeks (somewhere between 2 weeks to a month is expected), altchans capture the migrating anons, or a brand new imageboard rises from the ashes to become the new go-to site for old 4chan posters.
In conclusion, nothing ever happens, but also don't worry, chances are this won't affect tumblr in the slightest. If it does, you can cash in your "you were wrong" ticket whenever you want, i'll take the L.
As a footnote, keep in mind: NO users were compromised, if you ever posted there and are worried for your safety, physical or digital, you are safe.
Edit: Forgot to add, if you are a 4chan refugee, im BEGGING you to dm me and tell what board you were from and where are you migrating, if at all.

if you are downloading online resources
please be mindful of the following:
-organize your shit. name pdfs descriptively, and categorize them by subject or whatever works best for you. you don't want to look through your files a year from now and have to trawl through an unsorted mess of files with strings of numbers for names.
-if you're able, make multiple backups in multiple places of things you don't want to lose. this is a huge issue in digital archiving because drives can fail and get corrupted with time, even when you take the best possible care of them. this usually takes place over a long-ish period of time, but you're better safe than sorry. keep a copy on your computer and on a flash/external drive at least. flash drives are pretty cheap and can have capacity anywhere from 2-64 gb generally, plenty of space for pdfs, text, and html files.
#leo rambles#current events#us politics#feel free to add onto this but i know a lot of people are doing this atm#and as a guy who's really into archival/inventory work i must share the wisdom i have gathered

Hi, Mr Prokopetz, I'm a big fan. Apologies if you've answered this before, but I was wondering what software you use to create the pdf and epub layouts of your ttrpgs, and whether you'd recommend it to a hobbyist who wants to try putting together something more professional than a gdoc for their own ttrpg?
My workflow is unfortunately not terribly accessible unless you have a fair amount of technical know-how.
In brief, I write all of my games in Notepad++ as HTML documents, taking care to use only the subset of HTML5 tags which are supported by most popular EPUB readers. I then use Calibre (or, more, precisely, the command-line utility that comes with Calibre, though you can get mostly the same results via the GUI) to bundle the HTML document as an EPUB3 file. I typically distribute both the HTML and EPUB versions (the former in a zipfile with all of the fonts and images and such) because web browsers tend to have much better screen-reader support than EPUB apps do.
The PDF, meanwhile, is generated from the same master HTML document using CSS paged media extensions – the layout is all generated automatically based on rules specified in a big, gnarly CSS file, and is never touched by human hands. There are a number of software packages which can do this sort of CSS-driven HTML-to-PDF conversion, some of them free or open source; I use a commercial product called Prince because, to the best of my knowledge, it's the only such software which has out-of-the-box support for PDF/UA semantic tagging (i.e., the stuff you need to do in order to make your PDFs screen-reader friendly), but you have more options if you're willing to tag your PDFs manually. (I am not.)
As for whether I'd recommend doing it this way? Like I said, unless you're a proper gearhead, not really; it's super efficient once you get it all set up – the only version of the game I actually maintain is the master HTML document, and generating updated versions of all the other formats is a one-click affair – but it's really only feasible for me because I already knew how to all that workflow automation stuff for unrelated reasons. I can't imagine teaching yourself all that from scratch just to write elfgames!

Are Game Blogs Uniquely Lost?
All this started with my looking for the old devlog of Storyteller. I know at some point it was linked from the blogroll on the Braid devlog. Then I tried to look at on old devlog of another game that is still available. The domain for Storyteller is still active. The devblog is gone.
I tried an old bookmark from an old PC (5 PCs ago, I think). It was a web site linked to pixel art and programming tutorials. Instead of linking to the pages directly, some links link led to a twitter threads by authors that collected their work posted on different sites. Some twitter threads are gone because the users were were suspended, or had deleted their accounts voluntarily. Others had deleted old tweets. There was no archive. I have often seen links accompanied by "Here's a thread where $AUTHOR lists all his writing on $TOPIC". I wonder if the sites are still there, and only the tweets are gone.
A lot of "games studies" around 2010 happened on blogs, not in journals. Games studies was online-first, HTML-first, with trackbacks, tags, RSS and comment sections. The work that was published in PDF form in journals and conference proceedings is still there. The blogs are gone. The comment sections are gone. Kill screen daily is gone.
I followed a link from critical-distance.com to a blog post. That blog is gone. The domain is for sale. In the Wayback Machine, I found the link. It pointed to the comment section of another blog. The other blog has removed its comment sections and excluded itself from the Wayback Machine.
I wonder if games stuff is uniquely lost. Many links to game reviews at big sites lead to "page not found", but when I search the game's name, I can find the review from back in 2004. The content is still there, the content management systems have been changed multiple times.
At least my favourite tumblr about game design has been saved in the Wayback Machine: Game Design Tips.
To make my point I could list more sites, more links, 404 but archived, or completely lost, but when I look at small sites, personal sites, blogs, or even forums, I wonder if this is just confirmation bias. There must be all this other content, all these other blogs and personal sites. I don't know about tutorials for knitting, travel blogs, stamp collecting, or recipe blogs. I usually save a print version of recipes to my Download folder.
Another big community is fan fiction. They are like modding, but for books, I think. I don't know if a lot of fan fiction is lost to bit rot and link rot either. What is on AO3 will probably endure, but a lot might have gone missing when communities fandom moved from livejournal to tumblr to twitter, or when blogs moved from Wordpress to Medium to Substack.
I have identified some risk factors:
Personal home pages made from static HTML can stay up for while if the owner meticulously catalogues and links to all their writing on other sites, and if the site covers a variety of interests and topics.
Personal blogs or content management systems are likely to lose content in a software upgrade or migration to a different host.
Writing is more likely to me lost when it's for-pay writing for a smaller for-profit outlet.
A cause for sudden "mass extinction" of content is the move between social networks, or the death of a whole platform. Links to MySpace, Google+, Diaspora, and LiveJournal give me mostly or entirely 404 pages.
In the gaming space, career changes or business closures often mean old content gets deleted. If an indie game is wildly successful, the intellectual property might ge acquired. If it flops, the domain will lapse. When development is finished, maybe the devlog is deleted. When somebody reviews games at first on Steam, then on a blog, and then for a big gaming mag, the Steam reviews might stay up, but the personal site is much more likely to get cleaned up. The same goes for blogging in general, and academia. The most stable kind of content is after hours hobbyist writing by somebody who has a stable and high-paying job outside of media, academia, or journalism.
The biggest risk factor for targeted deletion is controversy. Controversial, highly-discussed and disseminated posts are more likely to be deleted than purely informative ones, and their deletion is more likely to be noticed. If somebody starts a discussion, and then later there are hundreds of links all pointing back to the start, the deletion will hurt more and be more noticeable. The most at-risk posts are those that are supposed to be controversial within a small group, but go viral outside it, or the posts that are controversial within a small group, but then the author says something about politics that draws the attention of the Internet at large to their other writings.
The second biggest risk factor for deletion is probably usefulness combined with hosting costs. This could also be the streetlight effect at work, like in the paragraph above, but the more traffic something gets, the higher the hosting costs. Certain types of content are either hard to monetise, and cost a lot of money, or they can be monetised, so the free version is deliberately deleted.
The more tech-savvy users are, the more likely they are to link between different sites, abandon a blogging platform or social network for the next thing, try to consolidate their writings by deleting their old stuff and setting up their own site, only to let the domain lapse. The more tech-savvy users are, the more likely they are to mess with the HTML of their templates or try out different blogging software.
If content is spread between multiple sites, or if links link to social network posts that link to blog post with a comment that links to a reddit comment that links to a geocities page, any link could break. If content is consolidated in a forum, maybe Archive team could save all of it with some advance notice.
All this could mean that indie games/game design theory/pixel art resources are uniquely lost, and games studies/theory of games criticism/literary criticism applied to games are especially affected by link rot. The semi-professional, semi-hobbyist indie dev, the writer straddling the line between academic and reviewer, they seem the most affected. Artists who start out just doodling and posting their work, who then get hired to work on a game, their posts are deleted. GameFAQs stay online, Steam reviews stay online, but dev logs, forums and blog comment sections are lost.
Or maybe it's only confirmation bias. If I was into restoring old cars, or knitting, or collecting stamps, or any other thing I'd think that particular community is uniquely affected by link rot, and I'd have the bookmarks to prove it.
Figuring this out is important if we want to make predictions about the future of the small web, and about the viability of different efforts to get more people to contribute. We can't figure it out now, because we can't measure the ground truth of web sites that are already gone. Right now, the small web is mostly about the small web, not about stamp collecting or knitting. If we really manage to revitalise the small web, will it be like the small web of today except bigger, the web-1.0 of old, or will certain topics and communities be lost again?

Have you got any good resources for men’s clothing in Ireland (or even Scotland) during about the 1400’s-1600’s?
I have been trying to find anything that can give me better insight so I can recreate the clothing but so far I’m mostly seeing cheap rubbish costumes that are very clearly the generic “medieval” style that everyone goes to when they want to convey a vibe but don’t feel like doing historic accuracy.
Not to say there’s anything wrong with that but I’d like to really impress people in future gatherings that pertain to this time period
This is a tough one, unfortunately. The 2 best books for this have been out of print for decades and now sell second hand for $100+ USD. Your best bet for getting a hold of them is interlibrary loan. Neither of these books contains sewing patterns or construction information. They are:
Old Irish and Highland Dress by H. F. McClintock, 1st ed. 1943, 2nd ed 1950
Dress in Ireland by Mairead Dunlevy, 1st ed 1989, 2nd ed. 1999
The one book I know of that's still in print is Before the Kilt: How the Irish and Scots Dressed in the 16th Century by Gerald A. John Kelly. I haven't actually read it. I've heard it has some issues with the images being low resolution (probably because it was printed by a small press), but it does contain good primary source research. The only place I know of that sells legitimate sewing patterns is Reconstructing History. I haven't actually bought any, but I have heard that their sewing directions are not the easiest to follow, and some people have issues with the size grading. Their patterns for the wool garments are all based off of extant period garments. Based on more recent research, I don't their léine patterns are completely correct, but they are at least better than some of the léine patterns out there. (Avoid anyone who tells you to put drawstrings in the tops of the sleeves or that a man's léine should be hip-length.)
Websites of reenactors and historical costumers who have put serious research into their outfits:
https://saffroncloth.wordpress.com/
https://www.wildeirishe.com/
http://matsukazesewing.blogspot.com/2014/06/16th-century-irish-dress_19.html
https://www.thelastprince.ie/
http://www.claiomh.ie/
A couple of decent videos on 16th-early 17th c Irish dress:
Traditional Irish Clothing in the Gaelic Period
Depicting and Describing Dress in Early Modern Ireland by Dr. Katherine Bond
If you're planning on doing the 16th c, definitely check out Susan Flavin's research. It has great information on what types of textiles, dyes, and trims that were available in 16th c. Ireland. You can download a pdf of her dissertation here.
I'm sure you already know that 1400s-1600s is a long time period for dress history. Irish dress changed a lot during that period. If your goal is to make a single, well-researched outfit, I would recommend picking a period that's somewhere 1500s-1600. There are a lot fewer primary sources (extant garments, art, documents, etc) for 1400s Ireland. On the other hand if you enjoy making educated guesses, 1400s might be more fun. Just check out this neat 15th c. outfit from Strade Abbey, County Mayo:

If you have any more specific questions, feel free to ask. I can't guarantee I have answers, but I do have a bunch of random Irish-dress-history related articles for this period on my computer.

How We Plan, Implement, and Publish Anthologies: Max Jason Peterson’s Planning Approach
Last week, I posted my personal notes from the Press’s Patreon Panel about lead-editing multi-contributor projects such as journals, anthologies, and fanzines. This week, I’ve got the notes from a second participant in that panel, Max Jason Peterson. He generously provided this write up so I could post it as a guest post on our blogs!

Most of my editing experience has been on behalf of nonprofits, who had their own budget, marketing, graphic design, printing, and distribution in place. I did spread the news and actively call for submissions. I also handled mailing (or arranging for mailing of) contributors’ copies.
This is not all my editing experience, but it’s what I’ll be discussing. It occurred under various bylines such as C. A. Gardner, Lyn C. A. Gardner, and Adele Gardner.
I’ve organized it along the timeline of when it occurred.
(read more)
Virginia Library Association (Virginia Libraries)
9 years; coeditor (with Cy Dillon) of VLA’s quarterly print journal, 2003-2012
The journal is archived online by Virginia Tech. Some issues are now only visible in HTML (transcription imperfect); others can also (or only) be downloaded as PDFs (for accuracy and original formatting).
Sample issues:
52.2, Welcoming Everyone
54.3, For the Love of Reading
56.4, The Particular Delight of Special Libraries
Sample interviews:
“History and the Work of Memory: An Interview with Luisa A. Igloria”
“Painting out of the Past: An Interview with Jay S. Paul”
Cy and I rapidly hit upon the idea of having themed issues. We actively promoted and solicited for submissions to these. For each issue, themed or not, we took turns or collaborated to provide an opening statement bringing the issue together.
This job often required a great deal of developmental editing. Since it was a professional journal rather than a newsletter, we sought a somewhat more formal style of writing. While many articles arrived in near-perfect condition, others held a more colloquial style and underwent rewrites. Cy and I also conducted interviews, wrote additional articles and book reviews, and covered sessions at VLA conferences (as well organizing coverage of other sessions from volunteers).
We worked to a deadline, as the journal was mailed to the entire membership on a quarterly schedule. From the beginning, often by email, sometimes by phone, Cy and I discussed each issue and the articles we had in mind (ones we’d solicit, or write, or had received over the transom), including our progress, division of labor, issues that arose, etc. We each solicited and/or developed articles by others, as well as conducting interviews and writing articles and book reviews. We each did the copyediting for the articles we’d brought in, and divided the editing for those that came in on their own. For each issue, one or both of us would create an introduction, which often became an article in itself.
While Cy and I did contribute book reviews from time to time, for many years the journal was fortunate to have a book review column organized by Sara B. Bearss and written by staff at the Library of Virginia. When Sara retired, Cy and I took on the task of organizing this column as well.
Throughout, Cy and I were always brainstorming future articles and special issues, which we would discuss and plan along with our ongoing work. Once we decided upon a theme and timeframe for a special issue, we would announce it in our introduction and put out several calls for submissions to the membership via the newsletter (while that was still in operation) and the general VLA listserv.
As coeditors of the journal, we were also part of the VLA Council and would attend their quarterly meetings and provide them with reports. We also found it helpful to announce upcoming themed issues and general calls for submissions, asking the council members to spread word among their contacts.
Cy and I set a timeline for each issue, though we did have a certain amount of flexibility. We needed a schedule so we could follow up with people who planned to provide articles (who might have queried us, or whom we might have asked to write about a topic they’d engaged with recently). We also needed to schedule times for interviews and make sure we received books we’d be reviewing (and, later, coordinate this with the other reviewers as well).
For the articles written by others, I would send changes back to the authors for approval wherever and whenever needed. Some articles only needed light copyediting; others might go through a few rounds of revision with the authors. Sometimes I requested additional content, including images or more exploration of an interesting point. I had a lot of background in this sort of work from my time as editor for The Mariners’ Museum.
Once Cy and I had everything ready, I assembled all the content into a big file and did a final copyediting sweep. For issues that included conference coverage, both of us selected images from those provided by VLA’s official conference photographer, Pierre Courtois. Many articles had visual elements as well. I sent all of these things to our graphic designer. The graphic designer sent us galley proofs. Both Cy and I reviewed the galleys, and I did the final proofreading. Once all changes had been made, the graphic designer sent the issue to the printer, along with the VLA mailing list, so the issue got mailed directly to the members.
The mailing list included extra copies sent to both Cy and myself (we specified the number we needed per issue). When the issues came back from the printer, I mailed copies to contributors I’d worked with, including those who were not members of VLA, such as the interviewees and subjects of book reviews. Cy did the same.

Science Fiction and Fantasy Poetry Association
SFPA provides detailed guidelines to all editors, covering the expectations of work to be performed and deadlines for all aspects, such as when/how submitters will be notified of acceptance/rejection, delivery of the content to the graphic designer, publication dates etc. The selected editor agrees to these terms.
Eye to the Telescope, Arthuriana
Issue 27, Jan. 2018
Eye to the Telescope is the online journal of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Poetry Association.
Each issue focuses on a theme proposed by that particular guest editor. To become a guest editor, you submit a proposal to SFPA with information about your suggested theme as well as your credentials. Once you’re accepted, SFPA gives you a slot and a timeline. Selected poems are purchased at the SFPA rate; there’s a budget cap for the issue, of which the editor must be mindful.
SFPA continually refines its guidelines. Here are the current guidelines for guest editors of Eye to the Telescope (including how to apply for the job).
The editor is generally expected to help publicize the issue, including spreading the news through all professional and personal channels available to them, both to call for submissions and share news of the publication. The editor also has a chance to participate in nominating published works for awards, such as Best of the Net and the Pushcart Prize. Because Eye to the Telescope has a different guest editor per issue, each editor will submit suggestions from their issue, and the SFPA Executive Committee then decides what to nominate.
As submissions arrived, I evaluated them and decided whether to pass immediately or hold some for further consideration. Some editors send a blanket rejection at the end to all poets at once; this is probably a better workload than what I did. I sent individual responses as the poems arrived, for two reasons: in a few cases, I wanted to run a possible change past the poet with no pressure on either side; and by sending rejections as the works came in, I invited the poets to try again if they wished during the open submission period.
I did end up with a large core group of strong poems that I wanted to include. The existence of a budget cap meant I had to make quite a number of hard choices. However, all the poems in the issue are ones I absolutely loved.
As I accepted works, I got in touch with the poets immediately to make sure the work was still available and the terms acceptable. I had a shortlist longer than my ability to publish, just in case any declined (I notified these poets that their work was held on the shortlist). As soon as I had the contents firmed up, I sent regrets to the remaining poets whose works I’d held but couldn’t use.
Then I assembled all the poems and wrote an introduction for the issue. I proofread, getting in touch with the poets as needed, and sent the material to the webmaster to create the mockup. I shared this proof with the poets for their review. One of the poets raised a few concerns, which we addressed. And then the issue went live and I helped spread word about that (and got a chance to help nominate some of the poems).
Dwarf Stars 2022 (coedited with Greer Woodward)
As with ETTT, SFPA has guidelines for editors which are regularly updated. A link to the most current “Dwarf Stars editor guidelines” may be found here.
The editor of the annual Dwarf Stars anthology is also the chair for that year’s Dwarf Stars Award. The anthology itself is the voting tool for the award. So achieving the deadline is imperative.
SFPA has set a specific nomination period when submissions may be sent (open from April 1-May 1). (This has since been revised so that people can send nominations any time using a form, as well as submit directly to the editor during the open submissions period). Anyone may nominate as many works as they like by anyone (including themselves), provided the work was first published in the previous year as a poem of 10 lines or less (100 words or less for a prose poem) containing speculative content (with the broadest definition of speculative).
Although many nominations did come in via email, the editors are expected to be familiar with a broad range of work published, to scour both literary and speculative journals for eligible works, and to be sure to consider the global field of speculative poetry. We did our best to peruse all the journals we could from around the world. From the very beginning, I reached out to both literary and speculative contacts and venues to spread word of the submissions period and request journals from editors.
Excerpts from the introduction [with additional comments in square brackets & italics]:
We sought far and wide to find qualifying poems, reaching out to organizations, editors, individual poets, and lovers of speculative verse. From 88 individuals who sent their own work and that of others, we received nominations that resulted in 1,371 qualifying poems covering the work of 408 separate poets and multiple issues of 171 journals and anthologies. As part of this mix, we ourselves carefully reviewed and collected work from multiple issues of 78 different magazines, and consulted all the SFPA members’ Rhysling-eligible files.
[These are files prepared for the Rhysling Award; some members had Dwarf Stars eligible poems but did not submit these works directly to us.]
Every single poem, as well as the cover art, was carefully rated by both of us and rose to the high spot through multiple rounds and styles of voting and discussion. Since we had such a large pool of poems we both loved, we found ways to showcase not only our convergence, but also where we shine as individual editors […]. We also decided to include one work per poet, so we might include as many poets as possible. Ultimately, we selected 120 small-but-mighty poems […] from multiple issues of 55 different publications, journals, anthologies, and collections. Our poets bring the world to us, currently hailing from Australia, Canada, England, Germany, Greece, India, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand, Pakistan, Scotland, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, United States, Vietnam, and more. We’re so grateful to cover artist Elisabeth Alba, who created Oberon, the Wizard Cat. We did a lot of looking to find him, scrolling through 700 or more images […].
[I leaned heavily on my membership in the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, particularly the Illustrators Gallery, in which I also take part. The fact that I was a fellow member helped when I reached out to our shortlisted artists and inquired whether they’d be amenable to their work being used for our cover. Our first choice, Elisabeth Alba, a pro artist frequently published by Llewellyn,agreed in part because SFPA is a nonprofit.]
A number of the poems we wanted to include were ones we found rather than having sent to us. And some of those sent to us were nominated by others, not the poet. So we did have to do some legwork to find some of the poets. In many cases I reached out to the editors who’d published them. A few we were unable to reach by the tight deadlines we needed to meet. But we had such a long list of poems we wanted to include. In order to stay on schedule, I had to give deadlines by which we needed interested poets to respond to verify that the work was eligible, that it could be reprinted, and that they wanted us to do so, as well as be available to review the proofs. When the deadline passed for those we couldn’t reach, we contacted the next ones on the list.
We did have some technical difficulties with the official email address for submissions, which was set up to forward to the editors’ actual email addresses. Fortunately, some people got in touch with us through alternate routes to let us know that submissions were randomly bouncing from the official email address. But this meant that we needed to respond to all nominations immediately (rather than sending a blanket thank you) so that people were aware of whether their messages had reached us.
Considering this number of poems was challenging for a number of reasons—including not only the agreement of two editors, but multiple nominations for the same works. I created spreadsheets galore to tackle everything, including whether we’d responded to people who’d nominated work, titles and publication details for nominated works, who sent it, and the contact details for everyone involved. And then, whether it had been selected, whether we’d let the poet know, and whether they’d agreed, etc.
I created massive files of eligible works for both of us to consider and vote on. We held several rounds of voting as we narrowed down our selections. (We did the same with our potential cover art—which has the earliest deadline.)
With the acceptance letters, we asked the poets to confirm or provide an official copy of their work. I assembled these into one big file and proofread, getting in touch with the poets as needed, and giving them all a chance to review their work at multiple proof stages. Meanwhile, Greer and I created the introduction for the book. Then I sent everything to SFPA’s graphic designer, F. J. Bergmann. In addition to Greer and myself reviewing the proofs, I sent them out for the poets to review and passed on the changes. We were up against the deadline and had a lot of proof reviews at the last minute.
I also wrangled the mailing addresses for all the included poets to receive their contributor copies. When there were issues, there was some back and forth with me acting as go-between.
I obtained and passed on information about contributors’ discounts and postage breaks if ordered before printing. I was told that there were quite a lot of additional orders for this edition of Dwarf Stars.
Dwarf Stars 2022 contains truly exceptional work. Please check out the winners and honorees here.
It’s well worth mentioning that in addition to taking second place in the 2022 Dwarf Stars Award for his poem “Colony,” Jamal Hodge is the first black man to win or place in the competition.

bookbinding question: how did you format the pages so that they read in the correct order when stacked and folded into signatures?
Hi! I use Word to create my signatures and typeset them to read like a book. I followed amazing tutorials from Hana Bobb on TikTok - I'd really recommend looking at her content but here's the bare bones! (If you use other applications this probably won't be as helpful for you, I'm sorry!)
First things first, you need to get your word document set up. From the top ribbon, go to Layout, then select Margins > Custom Margins which will open a page setup popup window. Here are the page size, margins, and layout settings I use:
My margins are set based on US Letter sized paper. I find that they're not too big but allowed me to trim the foredges and don't eat up the text in the spine.
HOWEVER, if you're typesetting a really large fic, you're going to want to increase your side margins! For example, I am typesetting a tandem read of TRTTD/ATWT that is 900+ pages and my side margins are .65" to compensate for the deeper, rounded spine and the amount I'll have to trim off the foredge.
If you're uncertain if you like your margins, you can do test prints of the first signature to see how your margins end up looking.
Our page orientation is landscape because, although we want our individual pages to be portrait, each landscape page will have two portrait pages.
By setting the "multiple pages" setting to book fold, you will automatically print into signatures that you can then sew and glue into a book.
Sheets per booklet is really personal preference, just in mind that one sheet of paper is equal to FOUR book pages (two front and two back). So my 32 page booklets take 8 sheets of paper. Some people do 7, others do up to 10! It's harder to punch holes in 8+ pages of signatures, but easier to sew in my opinion.
From here, you can input your text! You can post the raw html from AO3 into the document which which bring over the text and general formatting, and you can format chapters, headings, title pages, etc. from there. This is a time consuming process but is really helpful when familiarizing yourself with how typesetting works. If you do go with this option, I'd again recommend Hana Bobb's detailed tutorials - she goes over incredible info for newbies and I wouldn't be half as good as I am without her guidance.
If you're not interested in deep diving on typesetting, you can do what I do now which is use a Word macro from the macro mommy herself - Blak Books Bindery.
She has some incredible macros which allow you to quickly and easily add text dividers, drop caps, and so much more to your typesets! The one I use the most is her "Raw-Text Formatting" macro which allows you to copy raw text directly from AO3 into the word document and turn it into a formatted typeset through computer magic. I usually just use this as a starting point and heavily adjust the aesthetics from there, but it saves so much time moving author notes, formatting chapters into sections, adding title and publishing pages, etc.
After your typeset is formatted how you want it, you can print it! I typically go into File > Print and select "Print to PDF."
This allows you to save the document as a PDF. You can print directly from Word but I haven't tried it since people say it really messes up the formatting.
Your finished typeset file should look something like this:
Just print this double sided with "flip on the short edge" selected, and start folding! Even if you're super confident about your typeset, I would highly recommend test printing your first signature on paper you don't care about. I've caught misaligned page numbers, margin issues, and other problems this way and saved myself the headache and reams of paper.
That's it! I hope this answered your question, I went probably went overboard but I'm not sure what knowledge you're working with so I wanted to be thorough. If you or anyone else has any other questions, feel free to reach out through asks or DMs!

Hey chicken! I've been meaning to use playing cards for divination for a while and just got a cool deck! When using playcards, how do you decide their meanings? Like, you write it, say the rules to your drck or just keep it in your mind?
@serpentandthreads do you have infos on this?
Anon, I do not decide my own meanings; I use a long-lost internet resource I have been formatting from HTML 1 into PDF for... over a year. I need to get back on that. It's like 15 years old at this point and I don't want the info to be lost.
(Unless I misunderstand what you mean?)
In general I find that all divination works on your assumptions. So, if you assume that playing card divination is the same as tarot pip divination, so it will be. If you assume that the cards are meaningless unless you assign your own values, so it will be.
(If you've got multiple systems of meaning that could be assigned, you then may benefit from stepping back and choosing which one will apply to the upcoming reading)
When I experiment with and learn various systems of meanings for card decks, sometimes I write them down, but sometimes I just keep them in my mind. In the past, I have kept elaborate and detailed notes I referenced for card readings. More recently, I have developed systems that are easy to remember on an intuitive level, but difficult to write down - so I keep them in my mind.
Unfortunately I don't think I quite understand your question, but I hope my rambles are helpful.

On downloading fic from AO3
@severenightmarecupcake This is a somewhat complex question with a complicated answer but the short version is: it depends on what you're going to do with the fic.
The long answer is this: A03 provides multiple formats because people choose to reread fic on a variety of platforms. AZW3 is the kindle format and if you're going to be reading on Kindle that's what you're going to want. EPUB is a general e-reader format that's popular with a number of tablets, like iPads. MOBI is another e-reader format compatible with different e-readers and PDF is probably the most easy and practical for desktop, it's also compatible with just about every platform. And if all else fails; HTML. You're going to want to select the format that's compatible with the devices you intend to use. You might want to download more than one format. If you're going to print you'll probably want PDF or HTML depending on the word processor you plan to use.
AO3 provides multiple formats because there is no 'best' there are only different people and circumstances.

PSA
If you want to use a Raspberry Pi Pico as a debug probe to program another Raspberry Pi Pico without the annoying BOOTSEL dance, make sure that when you run CMake on the debugprobe firmware (in the picoprobe repository), you pass DEBUG_ON_PICO=ON as option. As in,
cmake -DDEBUG_ON_PICO=ON ..
This flag is described in the Readme of that repository (also note that the repository and tool have been renamed debugprobe from picoprobe), but it's notably missing from Appendix A of the Getting started with Raspberry Pi Pico guide. That guide is probably older, before the firmware was split and renamed like that, and nobody has bothered to update it yet.
If you don't do that, the firmware will expect the SWDIO and SWCLK data on different pins than what the instructions say, and you will find yourself spending hours checking the cable connections because you keep getting "Error: Failed to connect multidrop rp2040.dap0" errors in openocd. Ask me how I know.
(Also, fuck Raspberry Pi for making so much of their otherwise really good documentation PDFs. There are several places where you need to cross-reference things, and if it were HTML, the navigation between the sections would be so much easier.)
Other tip, while we're here: Install ninja (with brew install or apt install), then when doing the cmake generating step, pass "-G Ninja" in addition. Then build by just typing "ninja" instead of "make -j4" or whatever. It's a little extra typing but it is faster and better at utilising many cores on your host computer.
