Writscrib

(Anonymous) 2017-07-11 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
So news has been going around on tumblr of a site called writscrib for creative people and bloggers. Its gotten pretty controversial with some of tumblr, regarding their TOS.

What's your opinions on it?

Are you interested in joining?

Is there anything that tumblr cannot make controversial?

What's in the TOS they don't like? I can't find anything.

Re: Writscrib

(Anonymous) 2017-07-12 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
That is, I can't even find the TOS.

Well they haven't written the official TOS but they've made it clear on their tumblr page that they will not tolerate people being harassed and will try to avoid making moral calls on what to ban and get rid of. Obviously they don't allow like actual pedo shit and stuff but they are very discerning in investigating reports so it won't be as easy to false report.

A lot of tumblr seems to be rather upset about how they say they're not going to ban someone until they, you know actually break the rules. And they're not going to let you go around warning people about someone you had a tiff with.

To some people this seems to translate to "they will be a haven for nazis and abusers"

Sounds like another HOOPLA!

Sounds like another website that says "everything you post here belongs to us"

Re: Writscrib

(Anonymous) 2017-07-12 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
I can understand that worry for sure but they've been pretty open about making sure people's intellectual property is respected and not stolen so it sounds like they would avoid such a big error.

Oh well that's reassuring.

Exclusive license means that while the creator still owns the copyright to the work, they won't be able to do anything else with it; they can't sell it as a reprint, can't enter it into a contest, can't even post it on their own, non WritScrib blog.

Worse yet, at least in that post, there isn't a time limit on how long they have the exclusive rights. So I'm giving up the right to do anything else with that story, FOREVER, in the hopes that I'll get enough chips to cash out one day?

Yeah, an "exclusive" right doesn't mean what they seem to think it means. They should have left that word out altogether if they don't mean it to be a rights grab.

I'm actually pretty good friends with the people who will be running the site, and that's not it at all.

What is it, exactly? basically a blogging platform or what?

Ugh, I was excited for a moment and then I clicked on the link and saw "online busking" and nope. Sounds dumb.

Re: Writscrib

I believe you can turn that off and just blog if you want. reading the asks on the tumblr linked.

Re: Writscrib

(Anonymous) 2017-07-12 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't that what Patreon is?

Re: Writscrib

(Anonymous) 2017-07-12 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
There's an option to turn that off, so it can literally just be a blogging site.

Re: Writscrib

(Anonymous) 2017-07-12 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
A blogging site that contains stuff you can never ever use anywhere else.

Between this and fictionhub.io, there seems to be a bit of this going around.

But yes, no TOS is a red flag, even though I am looking for a place to put some of my stories that really don't fall under AO3.

The fact that they want you to give them exclusive rights to your content, apparently forever (or at least for 70 years after your death) is a good reason to say "NOPE" to this one.

Man, if it's a site that actually pushes "Pedo means real humans under age of consent for sexual content/photography" I'll be on it in a heartbeat. I am SO TIRED of "Frozen starts out where Elsa has come of age which means Anna as her BABY SISTER is underage and if you didn't cover your eyes when the PEDOPHILE Kristoff kissed her you're also a pedophile."

Gods yes. Or the Voltron snafu where, "It's all retroactively PEDOPHILIA now that WORD OF GOD has clarified that one guy is in his 20s."
