🥺

I’ll support this as well!

Hi everyone! We are the Voltage Organized Workers!

The writers of Lovestruck have come together to unanimously demand better working conditions, greater transparency, and increased protections. To that end, we asked the management of Voltage USA to recognize us and meet our demands - and since management has refused, we will be going on strike.

All of the Lovestruck writers are members of marginalized genders and/or sexualities. We have been given an invaluable foot in the door to the industry and a platform to tell stories that represent our voices, our passion, and our experiences. We are also all fans of the app, and we care deeply about the stories we tell.

However, not only are we paid less than half the industry standard rate, we are asked to meet extremely tight deadlines and produce enormous amounts of content without protections or benefits.

We want to see our hard work and commitment to authentic storytelling given the value it deserves.

Want to help us? Well first off–thanks!

The best thing you can do is send messages to Lovestruck contact asking them to recognize us.

All our fans are important to us. You’re the people supporting us, and we hope that you will help us improve our situation. We know that you have your own concerns, and we’re confident that this move will help to address those as well.

While our strike won’t immediately affect content in the app, it will certainly delay stories that you’re eager to see. There is a contact field on the Voltage website, and the more they hear from fans, the more likely they are to want to talk to us.

Above all, please do NOT boycott the game. We’re counting on you still being there and reading the stories you love.

Please also do not send anyone any harassment, on our behalf or otherwise. We do not condone such behavior. Keep your messages respectful. At the end of the day, the people you’re messaging are still our coworkers, and we want to get back to work as quickly as possible.

Message us with questions here or on any of the social media accounts listed below!

(Just bear in mind that there are some questions we can’t answer without breaking our NDAs.)

We’re hoping to have good news for you within a few days, and we’ll be sure to keep you updated of any developments.

Hey did you know I keep a google drive folder with linguistics and language books  that I try to update regularly 

i feel like we as a meme-based society don’t give enough credit to the jokes we read that live in our head forever afterwards but that you don’t in turn incorporate into your daily lexicon

Thanks for the tag!

Hey Star! Here's an ask for the writer ask game: 🍄how do you get yourself in the mood to write? (seriously, you are AMAZING and write fics so fast and so well I'm left in awe, I need to know what your secret is 😂)

Aahh.. Ghosssst.. that's a big compliment coming from one of my favorite writers! You're sweet 😅😳

To answer your question, tho.. I honestly don't really have a go to method of getting myself in the mood 🤔 Usually, I just sit down, and let the words flow out as they may. If I'm writing something extra smutty - I may overload myself with thirst first, but that's about it 🤣

Thanks for the ask, Ghost! 😁

Microsoft really out here trying to stifle my creativity
