Long absence

1 min read

Hey :wave:

I've been quite busy with RL and it will continue like this. So I don't really have much time for dA anymore. Which is sad, but that's the way my life is right now.

Just letting you know that I'm hardly looking into my account anymore.

But I'm fine :sun:

Update

2 min read

Hey there :wave:


recently, I started a Bachelor in computer science since I couldn't find any work with the Master's degree I already got a couple of years ago. Now university is eating up all my time :cries:

It's so much to do, much more than was my first Bachelor and Master. Just to give you an idea: I have to do between 8 - 10 homeworks each week. That's more than the week has days! And of course, that's not all I need to do for university. University is the reason why I'm hardly on dA anymore. I want to be active around here, but I simply don't have any free time left :(

Some weeks, it's even hard to make sufficient time for house work and grocery shopping :cries: I really do hope the Bachelor's pays off and will help me to get a decent job once I'm done with it.

So yeah, wish me success.

And I'm trying to check my dA account a little more often than I did these past weeks :)


But apart from university consuming my whole life, I'm fine, I guess ;)

And so far, I enjoy university. The only thing I don't like is the time aspect, really ^^ I'm fine with all the maths stuff I have to do in the beginning. Not like others. Some people already quit because computer science is a lot of maths to start with. But not me. I'm doing it :)

German first, English version below:


Diese Woche wollen deutsche Politiker eine Urheberrechtsreform verabschieden, die jegliche Art von Fan-Art (Fanfiction, Memes, Pastiche, Satire, Bilder, Videos etc.) quasi rechtswidrig macht.

Noch ist etwas Zeit, diese Petition zu unterzeichnen und auf ein Umdenken der Politik zu hoffen, bevor die Entscheidung fällt.

Da ich selbst sehr viel Fanfiction schreibe, wäre ich von den Änderungen betroffen und könnte diese Texte dann wahrscheinlich nicht mehr mit euch teilen. Das fände ich sehr traurig :(

Daher bitte ich euch, diese Petition zu unterzeichnen :please:

Hier ist ein Artikel, der den Sachverhalt genauer erläutert: Edit Policy: Urheberrecht und Fanfiction



English version:


This week, politicians in Germany want to pass a new copyright law that renders all forms of fan art (fan fictions, memes, pastiche, satire, paintings/drawings, videos etc.) unlawful.

There's still a little time to sign this petition and hope the politicians change their minds until the decision is made. Below the German text of the petition, there's an English version which gives more details on the issue.

I'm writing a lot of fan fiction, thus these copyright changes would affect me personally. If the law is passed, I would probably not be able to upload my fan fictions here any longer. That would make me very sad :(

Therefore I ask you to please sign the petition :please:

If you want to know more, there's an article in a newspaper here Edit Policy: Urheberrecht und Fanfiction Unfortunately, it's in German ...

New Round!

1 min read

Hey there :wave:

here are the new lists for the new round :typerhappy:


The Status List:


The Delay List:

The Reading List:

Enjoy all the texts :sun:

Attention: since there were only 2 English submissions this time, the authors get to read each other. There will be not second text to read for you and also no second feedback on your own text. That's what it looks like, if there's just 2 texts of one language.


Don't forget the Critique Exchange folder in the gallery, everyone. You can use it any time. It is intended for texts which go over the word limit of 5000 words, but feel free to use it for shorter texts, if you like. Please note the special rules included in the folder when submitting to it.
