The sun is out, and it's finally warm enough not to freeze my toes when I step outside-- must be time for some spring cleaning!

Several designs are going to be retired on April 1, and this'll be your last chance to snatch them up (and on sale, too!)

Check out all the sale designs in the Spring Cleaning Collection on my Threadless shop!

Do not let them do it.

It's not the actors fault

It's not the writers fault

It's not the fault of those who password share

It's not the strikes fault.

The cancellation of Shadow and Bone rest entirely on the greedy hands of Netflix upper management and I hope suffocate on their hoarded wealth like a ham-fisted hubris story.

Here is a quick and easy guide of how to edit ALL of your works at once.

From your Dashboard click on “edit works” on the far right. This will bring up all of your works that you can select.

Select all the works you want to edit, then hit “Edit” at the bottom right.

Scroll to nearly the bottom of the page where you find “Visibility” and select “only show to registered users” and then update at the bottom.

That’s it, all of your works have now been locked without having to go in and edit each fic individually.

Did your ship make the top 10?

Please note this is not me asking all writers to grant blanket permission for other creators to make any and all kinds of transformative works of their fics.

What I am asking is for a simple statement that will help fellow fanwork creators know your boundaries, because honestly, asking is scary! A permission statement can look like…

“I am not open to any transformative works of my fic at this time.” Great! Clear, concise, saves us the time and effort of asking, and the angst of awaiting a reply.

Or

“I am open to any transformative works, including art, podfics, translations, and written works inspired by my fics.” Yay!! This is great news. May the fandom gods bless you with many “related works” notification emails in your inbox.

Or

“I am generally okay with podfics, translations, etc, but please send me a quick message first” Totally! We get it. Maybe you’d rather some of your works stay untouched. Maybe you’d prefer that they’re archive-locked. Maybe you just want to know who you’re dealing with, or you don’t like surprises. Valid! At least we know you’re up for a convo, and will likely respond.

Or

“I am okay with_______ but not _______ of my works.” Yes! Again, clarity! It’s a beautiful thing.

Or the other way around "I generally not open to transformative work of my fics unless otherwise stated on the work itself."
