This Is The Money Garf. Reblog For Untold Pasta And Riches To Come Your Way

Hey, AO3 folks (and fanfic writers elsewhere)... if you see this offer, RUN AWAY FROM IT. IT’S POISON.

Please read this twitter thread and then stay FAR AWAY from the people being described…

https://twitter.com/aj_spinner_/status/1557083021949505549

The tl:dr; version: These people want you to “file the serial numbers off” your fanfic and publish it with them.

The catch: If the IP owners ever come after you, you’re on your own… and you have to pay the publisher damages! (Not to mention the IP owner…)

Also: their advances are CRAP. Also: Your advance (such as it is) is obtained by crowdfunding. WTF!!!

So:

AVOID AVOID AVOID. Dear sweet THOTH on his e-scooter, stay away from these people.

ETA: Victoria Strauss of Writer Beware has looked at the contract and declared it “completely incoherent and inadequate”.  

So, honestly… AVOID.

BEHOLD! SOMETHING I MADE OUT OF PURE, UNBRIDLED BOREDOM!!!

Elon Musk reportedly forced Twitter algorithm to boost his tweets after Super Bowl flop

A tweet from Joe Biden garnered triple the impressions than Musk’s game time post, sending Twitter engineers scrambling to boost their boss

Like, I know we just discussed this, but I hadn’t heard all the details and they are just so much:

Twitter chief executive Elon Musk rallied a team of roughly 80 engineers to reconfigure the platform’s algorithm so his tweets would be more widely viewed, tech news site Platformer has reported.

A disgruntled Musk called for an emergency effort after a tweet he sent during Sunday’s Super Bowl game failed to achieve as much engagement as a tweet from Joe Biden, interviews and internal documents reviewed by Platformer have revealed.

The effort was sparked when a tweet from the president, who has 37m followers, generated nearly 29m impressions while a similar tweet from Musk – who has 128m followers – generated little more than 9.1m impressions.

A Twitter employee and cousin of Elon Musk, James Musk, posted urgently in the company Slack at 2.30am the following Monday morning, asking all employees who can code to participate. “Any people who can make dashboards and write software please can you help solve this problem,” he wrote. “This is high urgency.”

Bonus: “Musk seemed to publicly confirm the move, in his own way, posting a meme about forcing followers to read his tweets” [I just saw it, it’s extravagantly misogynistic and gross in a way I should have expected and yet did not].

From Reddit: “Musk kept showing up in my feed, so I also blocked him. That fucker unblocked himself and started showing up in my feed again. This happened twice.”

I saw a discussion on—also Reddit, maybe? About how there needs to be a non-body-shaming phrase for “small dick energy,” and I feel like Elon Musk Energy would be a strong contender.

I’d like to thank a couple of people here on this humble day.

Thank you to @demiklo , @mario-incorrect-quotes , @lionhartferra , @somescenecatholic , @gigigiaru (and a couple other people I can’t see on my followers page for some reason) for following me.
