A note to our Dreamwidth community: this may be our last episode post on Dreamwidth. We love our fans, but we've noticed a significant drop-off in interactions on our Dreamwidth posts this past year. We want to focus our social media presence on our most active platforms, and in the absence of any Dreamwidth activity these past few months, we're re-evaluating the energy it takes to maintain this account. We will keep this account open as an archive of all our previous posts, but may not update with new posts in the future. Lots of love to all of you who have followed us throughout the years!

Episode 87: Tumblr Pornocalypse

A special, mid-month episode produced in response to the Adult Content Ban at Tumblr. In the wake of the news, Consulting Fans

alexxphoenix42,

perpetuallyvex , and

fffinnagain discuss how we got here and what it means for fandom.

Show notes, streaming, and direct download information are available HERE at three-patch.com.

Addendum: In the recorded discussion, we focused on the impact of the adult content ban on the every day Tumblr user. This decision's implications for fan artists, however, has been decidedly more severe. For many, this will result in the loss of their primary channel for sharing work, and regrettably, in the short time we had to put this special together, we were not able to include this very important voice in our discussion. We encourage you to support fandom artists as they deal with this momentous change.

The Three Patch Podcast community here was set up in reaction to the tumblr purge, as we try to develop our presence in alternative social media platforms to help connect and support fans of BBC Sherlock and beyond. But a big question here is what should we be doing here? What can we do as a Dreamwidth Community?

At present, this community is open, which means anyone can be a member and any member can post for all others to see. So now we should figure out what kind of material suits this space. For now, I hope anyone feels free to post any fannish thoughts (general or BBC Sherlock specific) and share BBC Sherlock fanworks with our members.

But more urgently, it would be great to hear from experienced dreamwidth users (or new explorers) what they suggest we do here, and get recommendations for our members on accounts and communities that may help us make a new fannish social media home.

So, like always, please share your recs and insight!

Current Mood: curious
