I’ve had them stolen for roleplaying, for headers, for imagines, just for notes… I’ve had them stolen by people claiming to run official fan sites (that’s a real wild story but I won’t get into that now)… I’ve seen them on pinterest, weheartit, FB, all those random gif sites… and I’ve seen EVERY. :3 They just uploaded it from their computer, where they’ve saved it earlier. And you know what happened? You know what creator of this challenge (who prevously already reposted my gifs) did? *drums* They used my shit anyway. I did all that cause I just knew that during those 30 days, someone would use my gifs and I would get mad and I desperately wanted to avoid that (hence going extreme). It was only accessible through the dashboard, it was not showing in ANY search engines inside and outside tumblr, and my gifs were impossible to find through insert-gif function – I’ve made sure. So, hating to see my gifs used against my will, and not wanting to start any unnecessary drama and threaten people in advance with reporting them if they do use them, I’ve made my blog as private as I could. Yes, “no matter what you do a lot of them show up in the gif function on Tumblr”, that is true and that is something I was aware of when I saw you-know-who announcing they would be starting 30 days Psychonauts challenge. And many of my friends eventually left tumblr cause they couldn’t deal with it anymore.īack to your question. And a lot of people were taking them from someone else which resulted in many gifmakers giving up on making gifs and leaving fandoms and/or even leaving tumblr – and I’ve had many of my friends give up on what they love and have their games/shows/movies/whatnot ruined for them cause people would not stop stealing from them. I’d like to point out that this was waaaaay before tumblr created that insert-gif option so, back in the day, the only way to add gifs to your post was to: 1.
Anyway, during those few years I’ve spent on my first blog I’ve met a lot of creative gifmakers who enjoyed sharing their love for fandoms they were in. I’ve been on this hellsite for like…7-8 years? Maybe more? Can’t really tell cause I moved blogs and my old blog now consists of only 4 posts I’ve made close to leaving so I honestly have no idea how much time I’ve spend here before moving. Here are snippets of what this looks like: This section is super important to make sure the story unfolds smoothly and revelations make sense, or else I get something abrupt like Mako x Raven, because I didn’t foreshadow clearly or early enough in advance. The final section is Details, which notes down all the little things I have to remember running gags, nuances, and themes current state of relationships and character arcs to keep track of their development what my aims are for character perceptions + issues I need to fix from the last chapter. I then write a To Do List for what sets to build, new sims to make, number of poses to create, the cc I have to find or make.
Corresponding to these I list the Poses, for each character and what expression they have. Going off that, I write a list of Chapter Shots which describes in writing all the pictures what kind of shot it is (long, over-the-shoulder, etc), the location + atmosphere, and what the characters are doing. First is the Outline, which is a synopsis of the main events. At the smaller scale, before writing, I plan out each chapter in my Chapter Workbook.
