when you’re reading fanfiction and you get so involved in the story you start imagining different scenarios in that same universe and then it’s fanfiction fanfiction
I had to return to the fun little AU in which Oscar met Castiel, Angel of the Lord. And, inevitably, I had to see how Oscar would fare with the rest of Team Free Will.
I split it into fairly large pieces (chapter length each). The DA Link above is for people who don’t want to read all that while scrolling tumblr.
Oscar was out of breath by the time he returned home. His frantic glances gave his house in the walls a warped, scary appearance. Normally, home was safe. It was drafty at times and he couldn’t let dust collect for more than a day before it overran him, but it was home. He could go there after a day of foraging supplies and sit on his ring box chair to sew or burrow into his blanket nest to sleep.
Now, he couldn’t stay. It wouldn’t remain safe for long.
Why is it taking so long for the next part to come out?? I MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SMOL!!!!
Really glad you’re enjoying the story! Looks like I’ve learned how to pick a good cliffhanger ;D
I plan to post the next part on Wednesday, so only a week after the first one! That gives it time for some anticipation to build, and it also ensures it won’t be buried in the coming flurry of posts from @brothersapart in celebration of its 3 year BAversary event. I definitely don’t want to collide with the special surprise at the end of that.
Once that’s all done, we can see more of what little Oscar must deal with. He sure could use a guardian angel right about now.
Since you come to us and ask, I will answer this in good faith and assume you mean no ill will when you do this.
It is time to get on my pedestal and preach, so it’s fitting for me to preach the gospel of all content creators on tumblr (and elsewhere):
REBLOG, DO NOT REPOST
Why?
If you take any type of content, may it be fanart that was drawn for a story, writing, original characters or any combination of the three, you are stealing credit from the creators of that content. They will get less views, less acknowledgement, less interest on their site. If you reblog the post, it raises the chances that new viewers or readers will find their way over to that creators site.
This applies to other sites as well! If someone has created art on Deviantart, do not take it and post it on facebook. Link or not, the creator will never see this unless they stumble upon it by accident, and when they do, they will feel betrayed, they will see people commenting on it that don’t know it’s theirs, they will grow disillusioned. If you want people to continue to create, SUPPORT them on their websites, do not repost their stuff.
When creators grow disillusioned, they will slap watermarks on their art. They’ll stop posting their story ideas, start hoarding them for themselves or even worse, loose the desire to write/draw, leaving less for the rest of us to enjoy.
No one wants that! Let your artists and writers feel the love they’re due, they deserve every bit!
If in doubt, there’s a few questions you should ask before reposting anything:
Is this my work?
If it is, great! Post away, share your story, let us all see!
If not, continue down the list of questions:
Did I ask permission from the original artist to post this?
If you did, and if they said yes,post away, and be sure both follow the artists requests about their work and always include a link to their work so others may enjoy the rest.
If not, ask their permission.If they say no, that is their right. Respect it. Do not post their work.
Is this a commission I purchased from said artist?
If this is a commission you bought, and you included the permission to post to your own sitewhile negotiating, post away (following the artists rules if they have any about reposting) and link back to the artist so more people may commission them in the future.
Starving artist is a situation many people are in, and after the hard work they put into their art, they deserve the credit and the $$ for it!
Not all commission artists allow their work to be reposted. Discuss this with the artist before you go ahead and post it. We do this with every artist we work with.
Do not repost commissions you did not pay for! For these you will want permission from both the original artist and the person who commissioned the art!
All works found on the Brothers Apart tumblr, the deviantart/fanfiction/archive of our own accounts of @nightmares06, @neonthebright and @borrowedtimeandspace are not to be reposted anywhere without permission.
I’m sure my other writer/artist buddies will have plenty to add on their own, and if anyone wants to know more,check this link!
