fan_flashworksHi, all!
We previously hosted our achievement badges on image-hosting site Imgur, but on 30 September, Imgur blocked people in the UK from accessing its content. It’s taken us a little while, but we’ve uploaded the badges to a private hosting site.
We’ve updated the Achievement Badges page and the Creator and Community Reports.
How do I update my badge links if I want to do that?
To update your badge links:
I can still see my badges! Do I have to update the links?
We have no plans to remove or change the old Imgur links. If you have badges embedded on your profile page or anywhere else, you can leave your badge links as is. But if you do, the badges will not be visible to people in the UK.

Looking for Beta!
Jan. 29th, 2026 07:19 pmshehungthemoon posting in betapleaseFandom: MCU (but you don't need to have any MCU knowledge for this)
Characters/Pairings: Sam Wilson/Riley
Rating & Warnings: T (more PG than PG-13), slash, no other warnings
Estimated Fic Length: Currently around 1k. I do plan to write a bit more but definitely nothing over 10k.
Notes: It's a pre-canon, canon-divergence story that is really a world-building excuse, so I don't necessarily need a beta with MCU knowledge, though it'd be a bonus. I'd love to find someone to talk with about flow and just to help me structure it out! No need for much grammar beta-ing, more big-picture. I'm not looking for anything too time-intensive, if that's a concern.
Right now it's a bunch of vignettes, and I'd appreciate help grounding it in a solid story!
Thanks!
