Part 1 of new mission and important info by Kі nо Shirayuki on 2022-07-09 07:29:07 UTC Writing Reply

First off new mission. With Momoka absent, three of the Four Demonly Kings have a "boys' day out" into a Twisted Wonderland Suefic that irks me like never before due to the SHEER AMOUNT OF PLAGIARISM OF OFFICIAL MATERIAL GRAHH I'M GONNA HULK OUT (pant pant). The issue isn't touched upon in this part yet, but I'll get to it eventually 😈

Anyway, on to the important info: I just found out Imgur explicitly forbids using the site to host images to be used on other sites, as said here in its ToS:

Also, don't use Imgur to host image libraries you link to from elsewhere, content for your website, advertising, avatars, or anything else that turns us into your content delivery network.

That means stop using it now. Seriously. Time to find another site for image hosting.

Momo fares no better; welcome to part 1 of her new mission into the same continuum with an unexpected partner.

Heh, the console having a sorting feature is a funny detail. I bet it can do that for Potterverse as well, if the settings are programmed right! Luxury is fun here, too; she'll find things to appreciate in the continuum, and she's being herself without laying the * ahem * on too heavily. Nice for Momoka to get a break from the boys for a while, too!

It sounded like you were on the menu.

I hope I didn't write Lux too OOC 🤣

Fun story, surely that's gotta be Trollfic. Nothing can be quite as bad as the sections you reprinted? Right? Hopefully...

Good to see Luxury making a comeback, can't remember the last time I saw her pop up (not counting the PPC+20 of course)

I constructed the fic myself by Kі nо Shirayuki on 2022-07-15 08:16:12 UTC Edited Reply

though it's inspired by a lot of the Stufics I've seen 🤣 The one the boys are missioning (two god-mode Sues, tons of copy-pasted game text) is real however.

I'm glad Momoka gets a break! And it shows how critical she is to this team's overall function. At least this way, it's giving Inasuke a bit more narrative focus than usual, since he's usually drowned out by the two more outspoken men. He's pretty picky about canons, isn't he? There are plenty of Disney creations that are more mainstream for him to consume, but he seems annoyed that Twisted Wonderland even exists! And as Kaguya says, it's just as valid to exist as a canon as anything else. That's definitely a weakness on Inasuke's part, in terms of doing the PPC duty, but it also gives you lots more opportunity to torment the poor boy!

—doctorlit would mostly just play to fight the Disney villain Overblots, not that he has time to play it

Thanks for commenting, and a bit of explanation: by Kі nо Shirayuki on 2022-07-12 13:11:48 UTC Edited Reply

Overblot is not a character. Magic users in this setting have this nasty side-effect to their magic called "blot"; accumulate enough of this stuff without letting it subside causes the mage to overblot – transform into a Superpowered Evil Side, which will kill them if left untreated.

So… more minis, anyone? by Kі nо Shirayuki on 2022-07-10 05:04:15 UTC Edited Reply
These minis weren't found in fics. They were found off the 'net, most of which were from erroneous renderings by websites. A few of these are mistakes I made myself

Characters and Families

_{Minis of last names take the mini forms of the characters bearing them. Cases of families with more than one recurring character (i.e. Leech family) will be specified otherwise.}

Ashengrotto, Azul
- Ashengrot (adopted)
Bucchi, Ruggie

Felmier, Epel
- Epée
- eperFermier
- eppel
Hunt, Rook
- luk
- luke
Leech family

Minis of this category appear as very ugly blue moray eels
- Leach
Schoenheit, Vil

Spelling "Schönheit" is accepted
- Ville
Vanrouge, Lilia
- VanRouge
Organizations

_{Misspelling the name of a dorm leads to a mini of its leader. Misspelling the name of a school leads to a mini of its headmaster}

Heartslabyul Dorm
- Jearts
Pomefiore Dorm

Pretty sure minis are only created in fanfic. by Neshomeh on 2022-07-11 05:16:47 UTC Reply

Also, if possible, please be sure to fix your own mistakes rather than inflate the mini population. The chronically overburdened Mini Adoption Center will thank you. {= )

I always thought it was the case of "don't use our images commercially?" by Kittyauthor on 2022-07-09 13:44:09 UTC Edited Reply

Not that I'm using it now, of course (I use imgbb, which I believe is built for that purpose), but I remember a site (I don't recall the name of it) that got blacklisted from imgur for using it to store their site's images. Imgur found out, blocked them, and the site had to post about disobeying the TOS and found a seperate aveune to image hosting.

That being said, we should drift away from imgur anyways because ~~doomscrolling~~ it's probably not the best site to host images on anyways? At least, I don't think?

Also, I have read. No thoughts on the mission's content currently, but the different fonts and font sizes were a bit confusing to me? You know, in the beginning. I couldn't quite read what was contained in them, and my eyes kept drifting to the big text in a seperate font, distracting me from the mission. Is there a more readable version? I might be the only one with this issue, but I figured it's worth noting.

-kA, still waking up.

Agreed. Imgur provides multiple options for sharing images socially, ergo it's allowed. by Neshomeh on 2022-07-11 05:59:27 UTC Reply

My take on the rule is that they don't want people to use their service as a way to get around using bandwidth on their own websites. Especially if it's a commercial website that presumably makes the owner money as they force Imgur to use ad revenue generated by other people to serve their stuff. It's not fair to Imgur or to other users.

Using Imgur to share stuff on a forum such as the Board, which does not provide image hosting, is still fine.

The fonts used over on the DW counterpart should look easier to read.

Which of course also means I've caught up with the rest your spinoff too!

Interesting setup, for a moment I thought their interloper was going to be one of the fairies you rescued, but I assume not.

I'm not familiar with the Canon, but it sounds a bit like Disney does Harry Potter is that right?

Quite a few things are different though, by Kі nо Shirayuki on 2022-07-09 10:17:58 UTC Reply

such as the fact all named and recurring characters are male due to the school's being an all-boy academy (the identityless main viewpoint character is gender ambiguous)

Sounds interesting. by Meta on 2022-07-09 10:39:12 UTC Reply

One of the fun aspects of the PPC is exposure to fandoms you wouldn't normally chance upon. :)
