Hey tumblr, have you ever thought to yourself, “dang it’d sure be cool to set a project in something other than the current times,” but when you go to look up references on google, all you get is a horrible historical pastiche of days gone by?

Well boy howdy, do I have a reference for you!

The Wishbook Web has scans of entire consumer catalogs from past decades, ranging from the early 30s to the late 80s. Each catalog has pages upon pages of reference of clothing, accessories, and shoes for all ages, as well as toys, gadgets, and all sorts of junk that you might buy for yourself or your loved ones. While the website exclusively has Christmas catalogs, the photos and illustrations show products that you could use year-round.

Submitting a Manuscript: Writing a Covering Letter

Many writers aspire to have their novel released via a publishing house after or instead of self–publishing, but have no idea how to approach the subject appropriately. When submitting your manuscript, it’s necessary to write a covering letter that is sent either before or alongside your work. It’s best to keep cover letters short and simple, while at the same time including enough vital information about your piece. We have listed below a few dos and don’ts when it comes to writing a cover letter.

1080p BluRay Rip: Glee S4 Special Features

These weren’t on any scene release groups that I could find, so I ripped, encoded, and uploaded these myself (and it was kind of a pain, honestly).

It would be really great if people could credit this post for any edits or graphics that you make from them, so that more people will be able to find the rips. Thanks! :-)

Notes:

* All episodes are in English, no subs. If you need any, maybe I can help you find them, though :)

* Let me know if there is something missing or if there are any mistakes and I’ll fix them right away.

* You can find every episode here directly (especially useful if ThePirateBay is blocked in your country, or for your bookmarking pleasure :)).

* Credits for audio commentaries and most of the other extra stuff: link, audio commentaries for season 5: vol. 1 vol. 2.

Tumblr Tips

last updated: 15 April 2012

Here are some useful extensions, scripts, and tutorials for Tumblr. Scripts require a simple, one click install for Google Chrome. Firefox users may need to download Greasemonkey first before installing scripts.

As far as I know, these scripts/extensions can work together. 

I’ll add more links as I think of them, and feel free to share your own tips or resources.

I keep seeing people ask about this, but it’s a script that allows you to do customized photosets for Tumblr.  You’re still capped at 10 photos, but this allows you to arrange them any way you want.
