Batfamily damn good ao3 tags pt.2

This is part two of my list of ao3 tags about the Batfamily that I think should be used more. As always, semi-serious list.

Canon tags:

• Demon Damian Wayne (makes the nickname "demon brat" accurate, I love it >>>>) • Selectively Mute Cassandra Cain (I'm really fond of it and would like to see more.) • Tim Drake Being Smart But Dumb (one of the best canon tags about Tim) • Jason Todd Has a Crime Alley | Park Row Accent (I'm weak for accents) • Bruce Wayne Faces Consequences (There are many fanfics for Jason but few for Bruce dealing with the consequences of his actions/choices. But, hey! There is the tag) • Author Duke Thomas (I like all the Batkids hobby tags but Duke's is so underused :( ) • Autistic Bruce Wayne (I like all the neurodivergence tags but this one in particular because Bruce is on the autism spectrum even in canon) • Hacker Barbara Gordon (the number of stories with this tag is less than the number of fingers on one hand. Let's fix that, NOW) • Dick Grayson Can't Cook (I just like to make fun of Dick) • Jason Todd Loves Jane Austen (I said it: I love batkids hobby tags) • Cheerleader Dick Grayson (I just love that this tag hesitates (reminder: boys can be cheerleaders too))

Fanon/not yet canon:

• Tim Drake Writes Fanfiction (If you don't want this to be a canonical tag, you're not a chaos lover enough) • Jason names his guns after Austen characters (I BEG YOU TO MAKE THIS A TAG) • Cassandra Cain Has Eldest Daughter Syndrome (Dick has this tag but I think it fits Cass well too) • Insecure Barbara Gordon (let's give the girl permission to feel emotions) • Damian Wayne Runs Away (The potential >>>>)

Batfamily damn good ao3 tags

This is a list of ao3 tags about batfamily that I think deserve to be used more (semi-serious list)

Canon tags:

• Bruce Wayne's Love Language ('cause yes, we need it) • Cassandra Cain is a Wayne (Because I say so) • Bruce Wayne Gets a Hug (There are many gen fanfics with batkids being comforted but far less with Bruce. Let's give him hugs too.) • Crying Bruce Wayne (I used it once (1) time, it was good, I recommend it) • Damian Wayne Acts Like a Kid (Honestly one of my favorites) • Jason Todd Calls Bruce Wayne "Dad" (I'm just so weak for this tag) • Damian Wayne Has a Heart (he's a kid, stop treating him like a 2D hater murderer) • Batman Needs a Robin (DCU) (I just like this) • Tim Drake Lies to Bruce Wayne (it's a beautiful tag and you know it) • Bruce Wayne Adopts Cassandra Cain (There are like 10 fanfics with this tag. I object) • Stephanie Brown Disobeys Orders (do it for chaos or for angst) • Damian Wayne Tries to Be a Good Sibling (I'm weak for this too) • Evil Genius Tim Drake (just for fun) • Fashion Disaster Dick Grayson (I laughed so hard the first time I read this)

Fanon/not yet canon tags (tags that I have used or seen around on ao3 but that are not recognized as canonical tags):

• Bruce Wayne Adopts Duke Thomas (I will make this tag canon or die trying) • Confused Justice League (not really a batfamily tag but close) • Jason Todd and Damian Wayne escape the League of Assasins (I see this as a sort of subtag of "Jason Todd and Damian Wayne Meet in the League of Assassins" but we should make it a canonical tag) • DC stands for Disregard Canon (It makes me laugh and we use it a lot) • Stephanie Brown Swears (There is a canon tag for Jason's swearing but not for Steph? Unfair) • Sarcastic Stephanie Brown (I just need this to be canon) • Alfred Pennyworth Makes Mistakes (Don't hate me, you know what can happen)

Maybe I'll do a part two. Let me know if you want it <3

Batfamily damn good ao3 tags pt.4

This is a list of ao3 tags about batfamily that I think deserve to be used more (semi-serious list)

Canon tags:

• Supportive Batfamily (DCU) (It's criminal how little this tag is used) • Stephanie Brown Loves Waffles (Do it for the crack fanfiction) • Alfred Pennyworth is Bruce Wayne's Parent (Not exactly a rare tag but still less than 500 fanfics. And I love it, so...) • Alfred Pennyworth Tries to Be a Good Parent (Here, THIS is a rare tag. Alfred trying, failing and trying again to raise a little Bruce… my heart can't take it) • Tim Drake Has Chronic Pain (Honestly? I'm a bad person) • Jason Todd's Love Language is Cooking (I'm weak for love languages) • Dick Grayson Loves His Family (The fact that it's a tag is so sweet) • Dick Grayson Sings (I will die on this hill) • Bruce Wayne Can't Cook (Canonical, practically) • Unimpressed Damian Wayne (Damian just being Damian) • College Graduate Jason Todd (I'm weak, weak, weak) • Jason Todd's Autopsy Scars (Imagine: you read some fluff and then autopsy scars are mentioned. And you… you cry, what else can you do?) • Bruce Wayne Has Too Many Kids (The fact that it's a canonical tag makes my day better)

Fanon/not yet canon tags (tags that I have used or seen around on ao3 but that are not recognized as canonical tags):

• Jason Todd calls Duke Thomas "Narrows" (I think I made this tag up but in comics it HAPPENS so yes, it's a tag now) • Smart Duke Thomas (Our boy is so cool) • Demon Hunter Bruce Wayne (Okay I'm biased but come on… COME ON) • Robin is magic (I thought it was a canon tag but IT IS NOT) • Workaholic Barbara Gordon (You see why this should be a tag, right? There is also a wfa episode for this!) • Coffee Lover Barbara Gordon (My girl needs her coffee)

Inactive Twitter accounts will be deleted

So like I understand the need to free up usernames that were taken and then never used again, but what about accounts of people who died ?

Its unclear if the criteria for an inactive account’s deletion is both “No log in for years AND zero tweets made by the account as a whole,aka empty accounts”

It could very well be “No login for years and zero tweets made during this inactivity”

Which would sucks cuz theres a lot of cool stuff made from accounts who are inactive, and again, all that some families have left from their deceased loved ones is an inactive twitter account.

Back in 2019,this concern was brought up, and Twitter said they wouldnt delete accounts to free up names without making it possible to memorialize accounts of a deceased person first.

Now, Under Elon, i dont know if it will be made.

So if you know an inactive account you really loved.. make sure to save its tweets into the wayback machine, take screenshots, etc.

Just in case.

Also they dont even specify how many years. We’re left in total darkness regarding questions we have.

Also im encouraging you to please REBLOG as to further warn people.

Also hey maybe if enough people Ask Elon about not deleting inactive accounts who do have content in them maybe hell only delete accounts who are empty ??

Fanfiction Authors: HEADS UP

(Non-authors, please RB to signal boost to your author friends!)

An astute reader informed me this morning that one of my fics (Children of the Future Age) had been pirated and was being sold as a novel on Amazon:

(And they weren't even creative with their cover design. If you're going to pirate something that I spent a full year of my life writing, at least give me a pretty screenshot to brag about later. Seriously.)

I promptly filed a DMCA complaint to have it removed, but I checked out the company that put it up -- Plush Books -- and it looks like A LOT of their books are pirated fic. They are by no means the only ones doing this, either -- the fact that """publishers""" can download stories from AO3 in ebook format and then reupload them to Amazon in just a few clicks makes fic piracy a common problem. There are a whole host of reasons why letting this continue is bad -- including actual legal risk to fanfiction archives -- but basically:

IF YOU ARE A FANFIC AUTHOR WITH LONG AND/OR POPULAR WORKS, PLEASE CHECK AMAZON TO SEE IF YOUR STORIES HAVE BEEN PIRATED.

You can search for your fics by title, or by text from the description (which is often just copied wholesale from AO3 as well). If you find that someone has stolen your work and is selling it as their own, you can lodge a DMCA complaint (Amazon.com/USA site; other countries have different systems). If you haven't done this before, it's easy! Here's a tutorial:

HOW TO FILE A COPYRIGHT COMPLAINT FOR STOLEN WORK ON AMAZON.COM:

First, go to this form. You'll need to be signed into your Amazon account.

Select the radio buttons/dropdown options (shown below) to indicate that you are the legal Rights Owner, you have a copyright concern, and it is about a pirated product.

Enter the name of your story in the Name of Brand field.

In the Link to the Copyrighted Work box, enter a link to the story on AO3 or whatever site your work is posted on.

In the Additional Information box, explain that you are the author of the work and it is being sold without your permission. That's all you really need. If you want, you can include additional information that might be helpful in establishing the validity of your claim, but you don't have to go into great detail. You can simply write something like this:

I am the author of this work, which is being sold by [publisher] without my permission. I originally published this story in [date/year] on [name of site], and have provided a link to the original above. On request, I can provide documentation proving that I am the owner of the account that originally posted this story.

In the ASIN/ISBN-10 field, copy and paste the ID number from the pirated copy's URL. You'll find this ten-digit number in the Amazon URL after the word "product," as in the screenshot below. (If the URL extends beyond this number, you can ignore everything from the question mark on.) Once this number has been added, Amazon will pull the product information automatically and add it to the complaint form, so you can check the listing title and make sure it's correct.

Finally, add your contact information to the relevant fields, check the "I have read and accept the statements" box, and then click Submit. You should receive an email confirmation that Amazon has received the form.

Please share this information with your writer friends, keep an eye out for/report pirated works, and help us keep fanfiction free and legally protected!

NOTE: All of the above also applies to Amazon products featuring stolen artwork, etc., so fan artists should check too!

He really put his whole ass in it this week

my quality of life has improved tenfold ever since i was introduced to breezewiki, a site that exists solely to remove the bloat from fandom.com wikis. no more ads, quizzes, random autoplaying videos, popups, recommended pages from other sites, or discord server member lists. just the wiki. these things are finally readable again

This website will never cease to amaze me

Around 12-14 i am now 22 and living my best life tbh

How old were you at the lowest point in your life? Reblog this and put it in the tags, plus your current age maybe. I'm trying to see something.

man if u ever in your life have the opportunity to see a therapist i’m literally begging you to do so bc they really do just straighten your stuff out so blunt like when I was 17 my dad died in a fire while he was between life insurance so we had nothing and the bank took our house and we lost like everything and when I was 20 I said I didn’t know why I think the way I do and my therapist said “that’s normal for victims of trauma” and I said “but I haven’t been through any trauma” and the look she gave me was more potent than any verbal wakeup call I’ve ever gotten in my entire life

Not be confused with „Wider Vereinigung“ what literally means to be against a „Wiedervereinigung“

what happened in Germany in 1990?

1 Germany + 1 Germany = 1 Germany

Meliodas, addressing everybody in the morning : Alright, listen up you little shits.

Meliodas: Not you, Elizabeth. You're an angel and we're thrilled you're here.

there are fanfics you will recommend to your friends with enthusiasm and then there are fanfics that no-one can ever know you have read

👌🏻🙏🏻

this might be a hard pill to swallow for college students but getting drunk all the time isnt a personality trait it’s alcoholism

Omg i feel you i was sad when the manga ended but the anime too now 😭😭😭😭

i honestly can’t believe fairy tail is over. i started watching it when i was 11. i would watch it every week without fail on the family computer in the living room. it got me through so many things and remained a constant in my life, and was the first anime i both watched and cried over. i will always treasure these amazing characters, their relationships and the adventures they took me on every single week for 7 years.

Guardian News: “‘You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words,’ climate activist Greta Thunberg has told world leaders at the 2019 UN climate action summit in New York.”

If they don’t cut that small piece of Elizabeth’s bang off soon, I might actually go insane.

IT’S NOT EVEN AND IT’S DRIVING ME CRAZY
