@Forestofglory i mean i imagine its going to vary by community somewhat but i wouldn’t worry about it too much? i see a lot of people from the shop promoting their own books/blog posts etc and its a fandom friendly space so i dont see why fic would need different rules

@ljwrites @XanIndigo this is dissing a different show, but it feels relevant here: «I’m incredibly frustrated by the trend of authors acting like their story is worthless if the readers can anticipate what’s going to happen next, especially since it’s arising in the age of the Internet where if anyone can figure out what’s going on, everyone can find out. It’s a bad writing paradigm to begin with (foreshadowing is a good thing!), and it gets worse the harder you have to work to hide your secrets.»
Apparently Chocolate Box isn't running this year?
Fortunately Candy Hearts Exchange is stepping up to fill the gap, so consider signing up there instead!

For most instances, keyword searches are blocked on the Fediverse: you can search for a hashtag like #FediTips, but you can't search for "fedi tips", or for celebrity names, or anything else that doesn't have a hashtag in front of it.
You can, however, mute keywords, so if you don't want to hear about Twitter you can mute that word.
This combination means: please don't obfuscate terms. You needn't put asterisks in names. They're hard to search & troll. Let people's filters work.

Hello and welcome to all the new people! Just a reminder for when you post images on here, use #AltText. It seems like the more new people join, the less it's being used, which is really not great for the people who depend on it.
Do you, like me, have a hard time describing things that you're seeing? I learned a trick for that! Describe the image as if you were explaining what you are seeing to someone you're talking to on the phone. Once I started doing that way it got way easier.

re: Fentanyl, Cops
@malwaretech@infosec.exchange relatedly: https://www.cambridge.org/core/product/identifier/S1049023X22000905/type/journal_article
«The high prevalence of fentanyl in the illicit drug supply has generated concern among first responders regarding occupational exposure. Social media sharing of unconfirmed first responder overdoses after brief exposure to fentanyl may be contributing to an inappropriate risk perception of brief dermal fentanyl exposure. This case details a dermal exposure to a large dose of analytically confirmed pharmaceutical fentanyl (fentanyl citrate, 10 microgram fentanyl base per ml), over a large skin surface area. Additionally, the exposure occurred at a site with some skin barrier compromise, a factor that can increase fentanyl absorption. The patient underwent appropriate decontamination and underwent a brief medical assessment with no clinical effects of opioid exposure observed. This information is of value to first responders and other health care workers who are at risk of occupational fentanyl exposure. Findings are consistent with in vitro and ex vivo data supporting low risk of rapid absorption after brief dermal fentanyl exposure.»
@theleakypen i’m also fond of this KinnPorsche take on Glitter & Gold thats a p clear tribute to the original g&g vid: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GIpgcjyUjws
@theleakypen speranza’s analysis of Grable424 & djcprod’s Glitter & Gold has a couple more relevant examples (and is also just a need article on the history of sound in vidding) https://vidders.github.io/articles/vids/glitter.html
