I'm Leaving Tumblr
Added 2018-12-03 18:52:43 +0000 UTCIt's kinda funny, honestly—in the end, after all the hand-wringing about time use and workload, Tumblr made up my mind for me. They're banning all NSFW from the site, and though they're claiming they'll leave erotica alone (even if I didn't have tons of NSFW images anyways), there's no way I'm trusting them on this. Besides, I don't really want to support a website that is going to treat people like this. I know a lot of really vulnerable writers and artists who may be in danger of losing a huge part of their livelihoods and community because of this. Sucks.
So, I'm heading off Tumblr. Right now, my focus is on backing up my work so nothing critical gets lost. But what's next? Well, here's something like my plan:
I will continue to write five flashfics a week. Three or four will be exclusive to those who are Patrons at the time, while one or two will be placed in the Goblin Vault. I will still use images I found on Tumblr (still credited, of course), but the flashfics will be in PDFs, so that Patreon doesn't have to get its jammies all a-rustled over NSFW imagery. ;)
That's pretty much it. I'm gonna miss the community, though. I had a lot of followers who aren't on my Patreon, and I hope they're able to track down my MC Stories or Literotica. This post is public largely for their benefit.

2018-12-03 19:28:43 +0000 UTCQuestion though, once it's all backed up what happens too it? Does it end up in the vault or just on a hard drive someplace?
