To our valued patrons,

I have set up a mirror site at Dreamwidth for both security and posterity. If you have a Dreamwidth account, you are very free to join! If you don’t have one, signups are totally free. ❤️That said, you don’t need to do those things if you don’t want to! The mirror site is a precaution in case Tumblr digs itself even deeper and alienates fandoms as a whole.

We hope that our account at DW will stay as a mirror site because despite Tumblr’s infuriating stance on adult content, we have grown quite attached to our home here. We will stay here until that time comes when fandoms find a new (and better) place to seek shelter in. That was the case with LiveJournal in the past. Dreamwidth was actually formed because of LJ’s increasing hostility against fandom. I thought back then that DW would replace LJ, but then there was this talk about a cool new site called Tumblr, how fandoms were slowly settling in there, and…..

Here we are. If there’s one thing I learned from the multiple attempts to quash adult content and harming fandoms in the process, it’s how fandoms are very resilient. Only time will tell which would be the next social media platform that fandoms will choose, but it’s inevitable. And hopefully, this bordello will keep living on and we will all see you there. 💖😘

Love,
~ Signora Paola
