In lieu of the new tumblr settings, can I make yet another plea with those of you who read fics and consume art on tumblr to please reblog them?
Fics and art will die on a creator’s dash if they aren’t reblogged. It’s never been more true than now.
If you want to keep receiving content from creators, reblog the the content. If it’s something you enjoyed? Reblog it. It’s not hard. I am going to make a point to reblog everything I read from now on. (With the proper tags of course), as well as all the art that I see on my dash.
I cannot make it simpler. Posts WILL die unless they’re reblogged. No one will see your ‘like’. Your like is a bookmark for YOU to find it later. Your reblog means the world to a creator because it means you are willing to go the little extra distance and recommend this to your followers.
Don’t let creations die on the dash of those who created them.
Reblog to save a creation.
Reblog to keep a creator creating.
Reblog, please.
Ironically, Tumblr ate my last attempt at this post, so I’ll keep it sweet:
1. It makes content creators’ day when you interact with us, especially reblog.
2. Comments and tag blathering are really, really special to me, and I look at allllll my reblogs just in case someone said something interesting in the tags.
3. It works. @dresupi reblogged something of mine and I immediately got more notes.
I have been out of work for almost 3 months and now I’m still waiting for the reply from publishers…and my VISA is expiring in 9 days! I currently moved to NY Brooklyn and I am an international student. I have to get a freelance job right now so I can update my employment status to my school.
I am so sorry to say this but I really can’t wait any longer…
I usually work with traditional media a lot, like watercolors and colored pencils. Fanart, greeting card design, portrait…you name it. I am so ready!
If you’re unfamiliar with my work, please check my tumblr, I hope you like them and need me to draw something for you!
Please please send me message if you’re interested! I am always online to wait!
and a reblog helps a lot too!
Omg I am so panic I hope I didn’t make too many grammar mistake…
I’m not sure who else is really openly salty. I know my old pal @lediona25 is prone to some saltiness. And @lament4sherlock. @lawyermargo has been known to salt some.
If you’re salty and know it maybe add yourself to this post? Help a Nonny out!
NEW on The Baker Street Babes: Book Release: Femme Friday
We are incredibly happy and proud to be able to announce the publication of our essay collection!
What started as an act of resistance – a weekly post on Fridays on our tumblr to celebrate – rather than mock and put down – women became something we greatly enjoyed doing, and so it grew into a series. This volume is a collection of these essays on the women in the Sherlock Holmes stories as well as in adaptations and pastiches. We tried to include as many ladies as possible, though we are aware that we missed the likes of Mrs. Cushing from “The Cardboard Box,” Nancy Barclay from “The Crooked Man,” Emilia Lucca from “The Red Circle” as well as the ladies from “The Greek Interpreter” and “The Retired Colourman”, and a few others. However, we have assembled quite the collection of essays on awesome ladies, so we beg forgiveness from the fantastic ladies we did not manage to include.
Once the idea to publish the essays in a book started to form, we opened a call for further essays on our social media sites – which resulted in the 33 essays in this collection.
Trying to figure out how to best navigate formatting and figuring out the quirks of self-publishing was a steep learning curve – and it continues – as we are working on an epub version of the content. In the end, we decided to publish with two different companies, as shipping costs would always be horrendous for one continent or another. We are now selling the book on Blurb.com (US market) and Lulu.com (European market).* Since the books have several gorgeous images by Merilyn Paugus, we wanted to honour her work as well, so we created both an affordable black and white version of the book, and a slightly more fancy one with colour images.
You can find the US versions here, and the European versions here. They are only very slightly different in format, and Lulu allowed for a title on the spine, whereas Blurb did not, but essentially they are the same. Within a couple of weeks, the book should also be available via Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
All proceeds of the sales are used to cover the maintainance costs of our website and podcast hosting sites.
We would like to thank every one of those amazing ladies who offered to contribute to this project. Femme Friday resonated with a lot of people and this collection is very important to us as Sherlockians, and as women.
*We dearly hope that shipping to Africa, South America, Asia and Australia won’t be too expensive!
Whether the Current War comes out this Thanksgiving or in 2018, I can say with complete certainty that we are incredibly proud to be your fans. You spoke up against Weinstein when people with less on the line have remained silent.
Your integrity, your ability to be articulate when facing the incomprehensible, is astonishing.
So if by some miracle you see this, know that we are 100% behind you.
And if you are concerned about the negative affects of the movie’s release being delayed on the movie or on your career, let me put your mind at ease.
Your talent speaks for itself. But if you really are worried, I can launch a campaign (at your request) to start conversations regarding your statement and the movie, and the monstrous actions and allegations that are surfacing.
Mr. C, your sense of responsibility and willingness to use your platform to address real issues will carry you forward, always.
With love and respect,
Me
It continues to amaze me how amazing and united we are.
