A big issue when it comes to accessibility in the RPC seems to be a lack of self-awareness. Help blogs, indies and writes blogs alike can all reblog a funny post about our font sizes, post sizes and icons progressively getting smaller, but they can’t recognize when their own themes are suffering the same fate. 

To try and fix this disconnect, I’ve whipped up a page that acts as a live guide meant to help everyone become a bit more self-aware and recognize when a theme is inaccessible. On the page, you can compare what you should do to what you shouldn’t do when making and customizing themes.

If you’re willing to make a change and work toward the community being a more inclusive place, spread the word to your friends and give this post a reblog. If accessibility isn’t your aesthetic, just keep it moving. This post isn’t hurting anyone by offering help to those who need it and getting upset over people openly talking about the importance of accessibility is, well, ableist. 

So, let’s all work towards a more inclusive 2017!

I don’t know if I’ve ever said this on here guys, but 

I AM SO FUCKING GAME FOR USING THE SAME PLOT WITH MULTIPLE PARTNERS. 

someone messaged me this morning after I sent them a message late last night about a plot on their wishlist, saying that we couldn’t play it out because “somebody messaged me about it first”. I find that VERY rude, just because there are SO MANY WAYS you can go about a plot!! It doesn’t matter if you have the same plot with two people or twenty people BECAUSE there are so many angles you can play it at!! 

So I just thought I’d throw this out there, that if you see a plot on my wishlist FUCKIN MESSAGE ME. I literally do not care if I’m playing out the same plot with one person or ten people. Throw the fuckin plot at me guys. I want that plot from different angles. I do not care how many people I’m doing it with. THROW IT AT ME. 

this has been a psa. 

A brief note to my rp partners

I am probably one of the worst rp partners in the history of the activity.
– I drop threads.
– I lose threads.
– I take my threads in odd directions that should probably never be explored.
– I go through phases where I’ll only respond to two or three of my partners.
– I go through phases where I’ll only respond to a single thread, and you’re left wondering why I’m not responding to you.

Sometimes I can be a really great partner –
– I might be really on top of replies.
– I might have everything in my ask box answered.
– I might be perfectly in synch with where you’re trying to take the thread.

Sometimes I’m not.

But the great thing is that it’s okay!
– When I drop a thread you like just tell me! Chances are it’s in drafts or I’ve lost it.
– Even if we try a dozen different things and nothing sticks, don’t be afraid to start a new thread with me or come to me with an idea.
– Sometimes I’ll be overwhelmed by everything I have going on, and I’ll have to put you on the list of rp’s to start.
– Sometimes I’ll jump right on the thread and then drop it after a few days.
– Sometimes we’ll carry the thread out all the way to the end, and have a grand old time getting there.

But please, remember that each of my rp partner’s is valuable to me.
– Even the ones my muse doesn’t like.
– Even the ones I’ve only done a thread or two with.
– Even the ones that I used to rp with and don’t any more.

You are significant.

You matter.

I don’t know where this recent idea came from that fiction has to be perfectly healthy anyway. Fiction is not inherently healthy and never has been, its not real, its for exploration and imagination. Fiction is separate from reality and that is why we like it. What you write about is not what you condone, Stephen King is not serial killer for writing about murder. People are not being “abuse apologists” for shipping two characters in a less than healthy way.

I’m sick of this new trend.

You don’t have to like a ship but you want to know what is actually hurting people? What is not promoting healthy behavior? Harassing shippers, telling them they’re disgusting over fiction, that kind of shining behavior antis exhibit.
