VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE

On the news of the strawberry epidemic 6 brands have been named for containing dangerous materials and being contaminated, if you have purchase from the following and don’t want to chuck them out then PLEASE wash them and cut them up!

Donnybrook berries

Berry obsession

On Monday, July 23rd, the deadliest wildfire in Greece to date and one of the deadliest of all time, started in the outskirts of Athens, in East Attica, Greece.

Death toll is now reportedly up to 85.

More than 180 people are injured, some still in critical condition. The number of people who are still missing is uncertain.

More than 1.000 houses are inhabitable. Village Mati is almost entirely burned down. Many of the people who managed to survive the horror, lost family members, their homes and their belongings. Animals are still suffering in the aftermath. The environmental damage is huge.

If you wish to donate for the benefit of those affected by the fires, you can do so, in any of the following bank accounts:

If there is one thing Freddie Mercury has taught me, it is that the show must go on.

My book will be on sale, starting in about 15 minutes, for the next week. If anyone is interested, you can pick it up here for like $.99.

If you want to review the book but can’t on Amazon, feel free to review the book on my goodreads.

And if anyone in the UK wants to pick up a copy, it is on sale there, too! You should be getting it at midnight your time.

Let’s just hope Amazon puts it up on the right day!

I just looked and Amazon says it won’t go up until 12:00am Pacific time. So, if you aren’t seeing it, that is why!

Ok! It should be live now!!

My book hit the top #20 when I was asleep last night. Woot!

If you guys could reblog this and share it with others, I would appreciate it.

Trying to break into original fiction is challenging, but I really enjoy it.

Thank you guys! ❤

If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

Also, sign and share this petition:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

#SaveYourInternet now!

The EU is currently looking for responses/opinions about measures for tackling illegal content online. This is clearly related to the proposed law, which would instate a “link tax” and could end fan-created content as we know it. They’re including fandom content in their copyright policies, because the law makers don’t understand how fandom and the internet work. They need to be told that there’s a difference.

Here’s the survey. If you’re an EU citizen, please fill it out; if not, please help signal boost. The repercussions if this law goes through will affect all of us, regardless of where we live.

Some tips for filling it out:

• If you tell them that you’ve come across illegal content, tell them it was resolved; we already have frameworks in place for this, and they’re not perfect, but they work
• Every chance you get, tell them it’s important to preserve freedom of expression online
• Every chance you get, tell them that algorithms are not a good solution for flagging inappropriate content
• Include a comment about differentiating between copyright infringement for profit/piracy, and copyright infringement for fun/fan works
• Tell them that copyright infringement, when done for fun and not for profit, can benefit creators more than hurt them, and a lot of creators actively encourage fan works
• Tell them that yes, we should absolutely do what we can to prevent criminal and terrorist activity that hurts people, but copyright is a completely different issue (which often doesn’t even hurt people financially) and needs to be dealt with differently

I’ve written a “position paper” which explains it all a bit more and details my opinion on it, which you’re welcome to read if you want: here’s a link.

Please, please help signal boost this and fill it out if you can. Tell them what you think. Tell them that there need to be exceptions for fan content, and that relying on algorithms to identify copyrighted material is a terrible idea. Save the internet and fandom.
