The Ducktator

@whalekeeper

How did the procedures go? Hope you’re feeling okay!

Part of the other thing that I really like about Unvale is they don’t allow NSFW content, while other art sites like Itaku that people claim are good replacements for Unvale do, and I obviously don’t want to see that.

@keilah-h

Yeah! I always hate getting bot responses from companies who claim to “care about the person” because it sure doesn’t make it feel like it.

@ellette-giselle

Sorry, I didn’t see your reply. There is an update above.

I am considering it, though the problem is I have no idea where to go. I’ve been looking for an outlit for my art, and I…[Read more]

@rae Ah, ok. But hey, at least it was an actual person and not a bot.

@janellebelovedpig

Here’s an example of the blog I built on Wix a while ago, if you want to look at it. It appears to have no ads currently 🤷‍♀️

@janellebelovedpig

I can’t say for sure that there’s no ads, but I believe Wix and Blogger are both good options too!

@savannah_grace2009

Sounds realistic to me! I just read the Wilderking trilogy which has a very similar plot that you might want to take ideas from and see how it’s executed. It’s a common plot though, I’m sure it (or some variation of it) is in many books, and it’s a great way to build tension.

UPDATE

Unvale replied to me in an email, and just as I expected, I’m disappointed, but at least I didn’t get a bot response:

Hello,

Thank you for sending an email with your concern.

While I do understand that you feel more crediting should be provided, the creator has done everything they are supposed to do within…

@ellette-giselle thank you!

@whalekeeper

Praying for you!

Are you still feeling alright? I hope things are better emotionally as well.

Thx for asking. Have not collapsed yet! I did feel weird during Church, but nothing happened so all good! emotionally…I’ve calmed down from the entire shady artist taking other people’s credit thing, so that’s good, now I’m just back to…[Read more]

@rae

Are you still feeling alright? I hope things are better emotionally as well.

I’m having another two procedures done tomorrow. I caught the flu and already feel miserable. Hopefully God will bless me with a nice long nap and no discomfort. 🙂

@whalekeeper There’s not much of a backstory for this character yet, but yeah I could probably throw some stuff in there lol

@keilah-h

Have you ever found it hard to write from the perspective of a villain?

I haven’t thought about it, and I don’t think I’ve ever tried. But I can see how it would be hard. You have to see things from their point of view, which is almost impossible if you don’t empathize at all with their actions.

I understand my villains more when th…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

I’m glad! I’m very happy with my consistency right now, so thank you for acknowledging my happiness. 😂 I would like people to know everyone else is still typing away, because yeah, it’s less easy to get discouraged with other people around. And I don’t mind chatting about the writing even if people aren’t here at the same time…

@mineralizedwritings good advice!

You have no idea how many times I’ve seen someone say something very wrong or even blatantly stupid on the Internet and I wanna point out the flaw in their reasoning SO BAD, but I decide not to because the argument will only end badly for both of us, and I’ll have wasted my time. It’s better that I go do somet…[Read more]

Random thing for y’all:

Have you ever found it hard to write from the perspective of a villain?

Like, I’m writing a short story from the perspective of my antagonist, and it’s really hard for me to make my guy NOT feel sorry whatsoever for the two characters he just killed in cold blood because they wouldn’t give him what he wanted lol

&n…[Read more]

@rae

I did end up drafting and sending an email to Unvale with the screen recording I was able to get before the page refreshed and the comments were gone.

Good! And letting the artists know at least gives you something else to do, if Unvale is unable to do anything.

And I’m always clearing out trash emails myself, although eh… hehe…

I am in…[Read more]

@rae honestly clearing out your emails is a GOOD habit so there’s no issue if you did delete it.

given that you said you sent an email to them, you’re probably fine.

@keilah-h

I might have? I probably did, but I delete all my emails from Unvale because most of them are just saying my oc got favorited or something, and I also like clearing out my Trash…I somehow find it satisfying. There is something wrong with me.
