April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberDo you happen to have that one fanfic? Been looking for it for ages
Galaflava
MemberGuys, IM the one who wrote the fanfic. Galaflava is the handle on Twitter, don't get confused with the Arkscythe guy lmao
Someone was kind enough to get a comm of Taodad. We love Taodad. He is a big jerk with a bigger ass.
Almost forgot! The story is in the discord connected to my Bio on Twitter! Story is called 'Control'! Okay bye!!!

MemberThe story that relates to this image only has one chapter public: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52407377/
It's also a PDF so I hope you aren't trying to read it at night.
The other chapters require you join his Discord. I couldn't find the chapters posted anywhere else.
The scene in this image isn't part of the story section posted on FA. It is probably in one of the discord chapters, but I haven't read them so I don't know.
Really wish people would stop it with the "hUr DuRr JoIn MuH dIsCoRd!"

MemberThat really is dumb. Not a very good tactic for people to join. Just post it in other places.
Galaflava
MemberI will continue to post my works to discord.
And I don't know why that's bad when most of the stuff I, and some others have made, is completely free.
Like damn near 1 million words of other stories (45k for Taomon) just there. No patreon, subscribestar...
If it's just cause you don't want to use discord, I don't know what to tell you lol

MemberWhat is wrong with sites like Fanfiction, AO3, Sofurry, or Furaffinity for posting the story?

Memberbro, why discord of all places? Why not just upload onto Archive Of Our Own and Furaffinity? (the formatting can be a bit weird for Ao3)
I can see that you uploaded stories on FA just fine, why not post the rest?
Galaflava
MemberLook, I won't lie that I'm pretty stubborn as a person when it comes to writing. I'm comfortable with using discord, it's easy for me to do across the board and most people have a discord. Along with that, I've gathered different creators to have a place to post when they may not be well known. Simple stuff
However, I have reflected and thought carefully over the situation of the works. I stand by wanting people to come to the discord sincerely because there are other artists who I think deserve to have their works given a place to be with some focus.
I stand by still wanting people to give these creators a chance.
So- I will start pursuing publishing some of the works with these creators mentioned. Some will still be exclusive to discord, some will be put to FA and Ao3. I'll compromise sincerely for the fact that I DO want people to still join the discord for the place it is while also not privatizing hard work.
Everyone here has a point but I also stand by my own. I hope you can respect that and yes, enjoy the stories when they finally release on the sites.
Galaflava out.
Later edited note: Sorry to put this all on one of your works, Void! I still quite love it considering it pertains to one of my works and this is a terrible place to put all this! Please keep up the wonderful work!

MemberFirst of all, who are these "creators" you are referring to? Artists? Writers? Kind of hard to tell who.
Secondly, that's fine if you want other artists to have their own place to share their works but what we're talking about is mostly the fanfiction stories. If these "creators" do want themselves to be known, there are places like FA or any other place in particular to upload their work.
Again, WHO are these creators? I'd appreciate it if you weren't so vague about who they are. But, I appreciate that you're expanding your work onto other websites so that other people can admire your work.
*btw having stories exclusively on discord is practically privatizing your work from everyone.
Bruhguy
MemberIt has 5 chapters if I remember correctly from "arkschyte" page may he be the original writer on not, I have all 5 saved and they are all signed as "arkschyte"
Pretty weird
Edit: searched up "arkschyte" on FA and the page apparently dosen't exist anymore?
Idk
SuperDrunk
MemberYou are using Discord to host your work in order to make being a part of your Discord server a requirement to read your fan fiction. You are not some noble knight in shining armor who is giving other artists a "chance." They do not need you to get people to look at their work.
While I am glad to see you have decided to upload the other chapters to your FA gallery, please get off your high horse.

MemberWhat the hell happened in this comment section?

Membertl;dr ppl were trying to look for a fic similar to art, and finds out the original writer has all of his fics work gatekept and private inside his discord server. They got upset that he’s forcing people to join his server just to read and do fuck all in there and that’s about it I think.
