Seeking A Graphic Artist
We’ve come up with a theme for our annual Summer fundraiser, but in order to bring our thoughts to fruition, we need someone who has some illustration experience. What we’re looking for is a cartoonish-like cabin at night (here’s a Shutterstock picture for reference). And while this is for fundraising, we can’t pay all that […]
Read MoreFenRecs.com Update
The rollout of FenRecs.com has gone so smoothly that I’ve decided to leave registrations open. That could change at any time, should we be inundated with bad actors, but for now I think we’re good. Fandom is doing good and so far things are awesome. The only issue that we’ve seen so far is with […]

Squidge.org is proud to bring you FenRecs.com – a new site that’s designed to share fanfiction and other fanworks recommendations, as well as places for community discussion, from writing advice to beta requests to fandom and pairing recommendations.

Read MoreGauging Interest
So there’s been talk about fandom being too decentralized as of late, and I’ve had an idea that’s been rambling around my head for a while now. While it sounds good to me, I want to gauge interest before undertaking our Next Big Thing. Most people are at least a bit knowledgeable about Reddit – […]
Read MoreBrief Overnight (US) Outage
So one final holiday “gift” that we got was an overnight power outage (and in this case, gift is the German translation which means poison – thank you Grimm for teaching me that!). Power was out from about 2am until just before 6am, and there were a couple of burps that had to be resolved […]
Read MoreIt’s Giving Tuesday!
Like just about every other non-profit out there – and quite a few for-profit corporations that are trying to hijack Giving Tuesday into a capitlistic way of selling more junk – we’re here to tell you that it’s Giving Tuesday. Today is supposed to be about supporting non-profits that make a difference in your life. […]
Read MoreSquidge Images – User Signups Temporarily Disabled
Please note that due to an influx of bad agents, signups for Squidge Images are temporarily disabled. Yeah, I wish we didn’t have to do it, either. But because of people not in fandom who are trying to use anonymous hosting for non-fandom things like rape/snuff images and for-sale/commercial listings, we’ve shut down signups. The only […]
Read MoreSquidge Image Hosting
Image hosting from Squidge.org is here for fandom. If you’re using it for fandom, then you’re in the right place and have nothing to worry about. Even if you’ve got a fandom account and you choose to post pictures of concert tickets, or that really cool vase that you found in an antique store when […]
Read MorePodfics & The Internet Archive
By now, many of you have heard what’s going on over at The Internet Archive. But if you haven’t, you can read up on the attack here. Our hearts go out to them, as well as those podficcers who choose to archive their works at The Archive. If you are a podficcer and you’ve lost […]
Read MoreSystem Status
As an FYI, we had a bit of a blup this morning which caused all Squidge.org services to be down for a short while (less than a minute). However, SquidgeWorld Archive did not come back immediately, so we had to perform a hard reset. The server should be back up withing about 20 minutes. If […]
