Fans are awesome...

[ash48]

I am constantly blown away by fans and their generosity and all rounds amazingness.

A YouTuber alerted me to the fact that someone posted one of my vids to their YT. No credit, no acknowledgement that it's not theres - you know, that stealing thing that seems to go on. It was nice to know someone had my back.

Though.. it makes me wonder that, like Tumblr, it might be considered "reblogging"? So repost someone else's vid as a way of passing it on maybe? It doesn't seem right but graphics are reblogged all the time on Tumblr with out credit so maybe it's no different? (ack! I didn't mean to get thinky on this... but it did occur to me).


The lovely feather_touch has donated a signed copy of her book to spn_littlebro for us to give away to a littlebro member. She's even paying for the shipping... so if you'd like a hard copy of Marked Yours (:koff: Branded Yours) go HERE for the details. \o/ (Any queries feel free to ping me..)


Speaking of which... if you guys read any hurt!Sam or Hurt!Jared Big Bang stories that you'd like to share be sure to link them at spn_littlebro. I'm so excited for ALL the fics that are coming out. How INCREDIBLE everyone is.... the talent just blows me away!

And while I'm here bythedamned needs an extra hug for making... *wait for it*..... graphs!! Ack.. I'm in geek heaven.

ha i was just posting about this netiquette today. I think often the person doing it just sees it as like scrapbooking? Just saving a video (or art or fic) for themselves, rather than even reblogging (which is sort of a shared form of it). of course sometimes of course people are passively claiming things as their own, to get the compliments from it.

I mean there's also a case to be argued about embedding vids on LJ too, as that may diminish the number of comments a vidder gets. I mean someone would never repost a story or piece of art on their journal.

I've been criticized for posting a link to a vid on Twitter, and not including the vid makers name in the tweet.

I don't have any answers, I'm just fascinated how we work this stuff out, and whole conventions and social rules develop.

Ooh... I must check out your post then.

I do find it fascinating and it's changing so quickly...

My daughter love Tumblr and she says it's like collecting pictures she likes... so that makes sense to me.

In some ways it doesn't really bother me, in fact it probably should be flattering that someone wants to post a vid of mine. I suppose if they actually said it was there's then it would be an issue. Though... on YT it's weird because it would actually take more effort to upload the vid then say to embed it. Though uploading is quick and easy also.

I think I might add my 2 cents worth when I check out your post. I am quite confuzzled by the whole thing myself. I'm not really sure where I stand on it..

(hee! she says... just clicking "follow" to a heap of peeps over at Twitter!)

I think its always worth asking for a credit to be given. i also suspect some people reupload vids, because so many disappear - the same way many people save copies of their fav fics.

It's been interesting to watch Tumblr grow as a fannish community, these some amazing graphics work. (and yes the average age does seem to be about 15!)

I am not a regular on Tumblr, but it is fun.

My daughter is downright obsessed with the place.. (and to think I introduced it to her!).. for her it's about how many followers she can gather. Though she's now moaning that friends of hers are posting pics on their Facebook claiming it's "them at the beach"... when clearly it's not.

Her aim now is to call them out... *iz intrigued*

But yes. I think if the artist is known then it's nice to give credit. The worse is claiming something is theirs when it isn't.
