I get some of you don't have discord and dont wanna get it and do your discussions at tumblr. But the public fastpassers community is really not the way to go. The posts are PUBLIC, anyone can see them. And it's not just about spoiling free readers who don't want to be spoiled.

It's about fastpass being paid exclusive content. It's supposed to be behind a paywall, not behind a keep-reading-wall.

The keep reading thing is not enough, you guys are still leaking fastpass content. Leaking fastpass content directly harms the comic and the author as someone who could have paid for the episode might just read up your community posts and call it a day.

If you want to just use Tumblr for this fandom, there are other ways. There is the "schedule post" feature, you type up your rants and thoughts and schedule it for free update day 5 weeks from now. There is an option for private community, which are invite only. There are direct messages on Tumblr, you can find other fastpassers via asking for it in a post and chat with them.

Signing petitions will not help us get S3. Webtoon will just say if you want S3, why don't you spend money on the comic. Fastpassing, super likes, visiting latest free episode weekly are the things which Webtoon appreciates as a production house. Not leaking fastpass content comes as an extension of supporting a series.

Leaking is not just about panels. Narrating plot points and story progressions is also part of the comic hence part of leaking.

i mean, plenty of creators of G or PG stories write or draw smut about their characters on the side. it's ridiculous to hold fandom to story rating when even the creators don't need to do that.

But I guess that is so him.

Living in his cousin's shadow. In comic and in the fandom. Getting used as a stepping stone by Wave to get to the keys and being used as a stepping stone by the fandom to get Cinderella Boy more popularity via the sexyman contest thing.

It's the most Deacon thing to ever happen.

It is a great slogan though, for people outside the fandom, for catching attention, for garnering votes. It'll do a great job.

But I do laugh at the thought that Deacon is a writer, and his THE quote is not even his.

The designs so far + the humor is what makes CB what it is. I feel like the designs aren't always conventionally attractive because I'd argue they're meant to be unconventional? ESPECIALLY in the murder arc where they're replicating the keys? Obviously their fits are going to look a little different, I dunno man

Also the humor?? Guys, we've stuck with this humor all throughout the comic, and maybe I'm just biased but I think it's meant to be dorky and feel silly. Not to say others can't cringe, just idk maaaan that's the whole comiccccc it's just silly and random I feel. And also, Chase is literally a fresh adult, he's still going to hold onto his childish charm that makes him who he is, I honestly really like that about him!

Like, to be cringe is to be freeeeeee

So I had an idea for a stargoth fic but I'm conflicted on writing it, much less posting it, because it would be nsfw. I know this series is aimed at teens and most of the fans are minors, while I'm an adult (20s). I'm not sure if this is something people would be okay with. I'm making this post to sort of gauge people's reactions and whether or not this kind of fic would be okay. So yeah-

People don't have to be okay with your work in order for you to publish it. Fic writers write fic and fan artists draw art for their own sense of joy/emotion, not to produce content for other people. It's a happy bonus when people interact with the work positively.

My golden rule for posting nsfw works is that you must tag it and rate it appropriately and honestly so others will know whether or not it's something they can/would like to read. Additionally, if you're clear with your tags, you'll get people who are excited to read the things you're including in your work.

(Heads up, if something is just hinted at in your work and you tag it, you may get someone who's disappointed that you said that your work contains BDSM but all you've included was a pair of handcuffs on the dresser.)

Thank you for your ask! Have fun writing and posting!

The original rating of the media has nothing to do with fanfiction. While ao3 is the optimal place to put it, as long as it's under a "read more" it should be fine to put on Tumblr. We've also seen someone mention using #CBnsfw for nsfw Cinderella Boy content and personally agree it's a good idea.

You can also share your fic from Ao3 by clicking on "share" > "tumblr". It'll post a summary of the fic along with the rating and you can use that tag for reach. Here are some screenshots to show you what I mean.

Maybe that's the most in-character choice for Chase. Idk, I'm not really trying to be a hater as much as: I want to hear other people's perspective — maybe they'll change my mind — but I don't want to come across as a party pooper, or someone who doesn't like stargoth

I would like to take a moment to echo this and point out there should be absolutely no spoiling of fast pass at all anywhere on the internet. For a long time, fast passers have been trying very hard to not reveal anything about the episodes that are not free to read, and this is because it's disrespectful to people who can't or don't pay for coins for fast pass.

Everyone should be able to have a spoiler-free experience in reading these comics whether or not they can pay money to.

Additionally, there are fast pass-specific communities in Discord such as the free-to-join Cinderella Boy (Webtoon) server, Punko's Patreon Toy Box server, and direct messages with friends. There should be no reason why anyone is posting fast pass stuff at all. I understand if one is eager to gab about something they're excited about, but one can just as easily save it to their drafts and wait for the fast pass episode to become a free episode ("be released from fast pass jail") before they post it.

At the very least, people who don't want to be spoiled can add variations of "cb spoilers" to their Tumblr built-in blacklist, and I would urge fast passers to tag their spoilers. At the end of the day, no one can control what someone else posts. All we can do is curate our online experiences to the best of our ability.

All that said, we absolutely do not encourage anyone to send hate to anyone who posts fast pass content. Sometimes fast passers just aren't aware that the Cinderella Boy fandom is averse to fast pass content being made public before the episode is released from fast pass. If one is tempted to reach out to someone, please do so with kindness and understanding. At the end of the day, we're all here because we love Cinderella Boy, and we want the fandom to be a kind, welcoming place.

Thank you for your ask.

If anyone would like to add an invite to the free discord to this post you are more than welcome to. Unfortunately, links expire very quickly so if you see one be sure to take advantage of the opportunity.

The Punko's Patreon Discord Server, aka, The Toybox, is not free. In order to get access to that server it is at least one US dollar per month.
