Underlined PSA

Figment, the recently closed writing website, has just launched (after a long delay) their long-awaited successor to figment known as Underlined, where users can post their work and receive feedback, supposedly.

DO NOT USE UNDERLINED. DO NOT POST YOUR WORK ON UNDERLINED.

Underlined’s terms and conditions contains a clause stating that the rights to all your work that you post on their website belongs to them!!!!

Underlined belongs to Penguin Random House. This is an extremely dirty trick for them to play on writers, especially young writers and children, who come to the internet to get feedback and will lose the rights to their work. Please boost!!!

For my writing friends looking for an online writing community, DO NOT USE Underlined. 

I went to confirm @greater-than-the-sword‘s post, because seriously publishers are still pulling this garbage?  And yes, they are.  If you want to check out the full terms and conditions, have at it.  They are full of writers’ nightmares, a few of which I’ll highlight under the cut.

Keep reading

Be aware guys

As someone who used to use Figment, I would really strongly recommend NOT using Underlined. DO NOT USE Underlined.

@thebibliosphere signal boost for writers

Ugh, how is this still a thing.

The real ADHD + depression mood is thinking about something and getting sad, then forgetting what you got upset about but still feeling like garbage anyways

when are we gonna stop using the word “abusive” as a synonym for “just being an asshole”

hate 2 break this 2 yall but the world isnt split up into nice people and abusers. being cruel or manipulative in the absence of an observable pattern of behavior and an established power dynamic isnt abuse. sometimes people are just shitty

people who don’t wear glasses who are writing characters who wear glasses;

they get fogged up when we drink hot beverages.
they get smudged for no reason.
we will push them up using anything in our area (i.e shoulder, whatever is in my hand, scrunching my nose up so they get pushed up, etc.).
they get knocked off our faces all. the. fucking. time.
when we change clothes we either take them off or they fall off when we pull our shirts off.
we have to clean them after being in the rain.
we own multiple pairs of them, not just one lone pair for our whole lives.
most people don’t wear them in the pool, but some have extra old pairs for the pool (like me).
some people take them off during sex, that’s fine! but some people keep them on.
they don’t get squished into your face when you kiss (most of the time. at least from what i’ve experienced and i’ve got some mf big glasses).
if we look down and look back up while you talk/to peek up at something, we will just peek blindly over the top of them.
we clean them on whatever item of clothing is closest.
some of us have prescription sunglasses and some of us wear contacts when we need to wear sunglasses.
please keep some of these in mind when you write characters with glasses cause y'all who have 20/20 vision keep telling me all characters sleep in their glasses and own the same singular pair from age 6-25 and they never clean them.

( there’s this but you missed a few iconic glasses traits
- “where’d I put my glasses” (is wearing them)
- new glasses getting scratched on basically nothing. where’d the nick come from? we just don’t know.
- forgetting you’re wearing synthetic material and just smudge the junk on your glasses around
- after doing so, proceeding to hunt down any friend who is wearing a more cottony material
- getting eyelashes on your glasses
- stabbing yourself in the face with the arm of your glasses
- “woah are you blind?”
- “how many fingers am I holding up??”
- walking into a warm room from the cold and suddenly being unable to see because your glasses fogged up
- going outside and everything is Super Crisp 1080p
- having three pairs of glasses and putting all of them at once
- “aw dude you have transition lenses? lucky.”
- the non-glasses scrutinising squint
- taking off your glasses and suddenly you’re a different entity entirely
- if you’re too good for taking off your glasses when dressing/undressing, realising you didn’t pull the collar of a shirt out enough and subjecting to your fate )

-For female characters wearing eye makeup is pretty much useless

- the reason why is because no matter what we do, the mascara will smear on our glasses

- thinking “Oh, there’s a little smudge. I’ll just clean it quickly”, then taking the glasses off and wondering how the hell you could see with what looks like three layers of dirt on them

- giving your loved one a little kiss but in the wrong angle so their nose touches your glasses

- the look™ when you’re in your bed lying on the side with your glasses on (aka the glasses are skewed)
