Recently, I received some very kind comments from people who have read my fics and then come back to read them again. And again. And sometimes even one more time. As a casual fic writer who often jokes about how she is solidly a one-trick pony, I can’t tell you what that means to me.
In an effort to protect my work from being plagiarized by the rise of AI, I have changed the settings on my fics to only show to registered users. This means that you will no longer be able to view my work unless you are logged in. Rest assured they have not been deleted (yet, we’ll see if I actually get to that point), but they won’t show up unless you’re logged in.
I know this kind of sucks, especially given the content of my fics. I know that a lot of people don’t want erotica or E-Rated fics showing up in their searches or read histories and I’m sorry to put those of you in that situation through this. I know that many of my readers leave kudos or read my fics anonymously, even if they have AO3 accounts.
Unfortunately with the rise of AI, this is the only way to protect my work right this moment. If things change, I’ll adjust the settings appropriately. But for now, a login to AO3 will be required to read my fics.
If you are a fic writer, I strongly encourage you to do the same. This AI thing really, really blows.
Thanks for reading. ✨
