From Open Culture:

We have released over a million images onto Flickr Commons for anyone to use, remix and repurpose. These images were taken from the pages of 17th, 18th and 19th century books digitised by Microsoft who then generously gifted the scanned images to us, allowing us to release them back into the Public Domain. The images themselves cover a startling mix of subjects: There are maps, geological diagrams, beautiful illustrations, comical satire, illuminated and decorative letters, colourful illustrations, landscapes, wall-paintings and so much more that even we are not aware of.

Lo and behold!

We are excited to announce Dragon Age Nostalgia Month, a month-long event meant to celebrate the world of Thedas once again, looking back at Dragon Age tetralogy and all it encapsulates.

Event dates: August 1th - August 31th

A quick reminder of what Damian Wayne Fest is, before we start: This is a week long event spanning from 9 August through 15 August for Damian Wayne-centric content. Familial, friendly, platonic, romantic, anything goes, so long as Damian is at the center of the story.

This event is welcome to all ships and any fan media creation. The only limiters are that we ask that all participants be 18+, and that no AI generated content be submitted.

Now, onto what we're all here for! The prompts.

Is it okay to tell people that I read, when it's mostly fanfiction? Is it considered reading??

I get that it is definitely reading, but whenever people ask if I do I'm pretty sure they have original fiction books (or generally books) in mind. I question myself a lot whenever I say yes, and I don't know if I should clarify either uuuuu :)

reading is reading. doesn’t matter if it’s a newspaper, an online article, an original novel or a fanfic.

I mean I know I joke about people asking me what I write and pulling that awkward nervous/side-eye dog meme because I write fanfics, not original stories (I’m simply not interested in creating my own original story when my love and passion are with characters from existing material). but in all seriousness, in my opinion, there isn’t really any difference between “reading/writing original stories” and “reading/writing fanfics”. I’ve read fics that are longer and more professionally written than some published novels. yeah, there will always be people who think fanfics are “less than” published original stories just because 1. the characters are from existing materials 2. fanfics are free and often aren’t taken seriously by people who don’t know how much time and effort can be put into writing one. but if anything, I think the fact fanfics are written purely out of love and passion (no money involved) just means it’s a form of art that is actually about love and passion. not saying original novels aren’t about writers’ love and passion, obviously. but I guess what I’m saying is that with published original stories, there’s money involved. it’s a job. a career. but with fanfics, you know that it’s 100% the writers’ love and passion.
