you’ll have to pry the word “pup” in omegaverse out of my cold lifeless hands. there’s nothing sweeter than the word pup, not even to refer to just the little ones, but the softness of the word and how it can be used in the fondest way

! IMPORTANT !
If you donate ink to authors, donate to THEM, not their books!
Tapas (Kakao) takes part of the ink given to books, but not the ink given directly to authors.
(If you've already donated to a book PLEASE know we still appreciate the ink so UNBELIEVABLY much!)

While #AO3 remains down, we wanted to share that work to restore AO3 and make changes to prevent future incidents is ongoing and proceeding well. We believe that our original return time estimate remains accurate. Learn more at otwstatus.org/incidents/g12j…
Earlier today, we detected evidence of a security incident on #AO3. We are still in the early stages of investigating. No AO3 data has been deleted. All your works, bookmarks, kudos, etc., are safe. Learn more at otwstatus.org/incidents/g12j…

I post longer updates, as well as all of my free work, on that page. :) I also periodically make "paid" stuff free for a limited time as a sneak peek.

Imagine making 1M a day, cried about losing money because of Tapas, fired staff same day, and are now making Tapas creators skip meals from taking their income and contracts.
@kakaopage @TheKoreaHerald
Day 41 of @kakaopage's silence.
Today, Kakao announced enormous profits in Q3, per the @JoongAngDaily—105M USD.
They earned ~$1,141,304 USD/day. Again, PROFIT, not gross.
Meanwhile, I am earning ~$0/day for MY OWN stories, held hostage on the platform that THEY abandoned.

Small amendment to my earlier post: the 105 million is actually only PART of what Kakao earned in Q3.
KakaoBank certainly makes up a huge part of their revenue, but not all.
They are actually earning WAY more while screwing us over than previously anticipated.😑
