Quick PSA for Storm Hawks fic writers on AO3
I don't like to do these 'callout'-style posts, but there's a potential scammer making the rounds in the Storm Hawks tag on AO3. They're on a brand new account and have commented on two of my fics (most notably Raptor Bite which is one of my longer ones), praising them and using some specific information before immediately jumping into "this would look great as a comic, contact me on Discord if you're interested".
They've also done this on one of @ashe-alter's fics that hasn't been updated in almost a year, and it's very unlikely this person has read ~20 chapters of fic in the span of 3 hours. If I had to guess they fed the fics into an AI LLM to get a synopsis and a comment template.
This is most likely a scam if not some sort of grift. I am not calling for a witchhunt of this person, if I hear anyone has done that I will block you. I do, however, encourage you to block this person on AO3 to stop them from interacting with your fics, and don't fall for this scam. If you see 'floridamike_01' on Discord, block them there too.
Stay safe folks.
