"This fic was ai generated—" Cool, so lemme block you real quick

i immediately thought of this

[coldspaces]

Perhaps one day, in a year, or even in a century, you’ll turn up at my door, and let me show you what the world has to offer.

[schlarklezyaoi]

nothing pisses me off more than when i see a fic on ao3 talking about reach. "this ship isn't here but i added them for reach" "this fandom tag isn't necessary but i'm adding it for reach" "reposting for reach" STOP IT!!!! this is not tiktok this is not twitter this is an ARCHIVE this is not how it works!!!

[schlarklezyaoi]

i will not deal!!!! that is not how any of this works!!!!

[listen-to-the-inner-walrus]

if you see people doing this shit, report it. its against the terms of service.

genuinely. copy the link to the fic or series, and then scroll down to the bottom of the page:

click on policy questions & abuse reports which takes you to this page:

if you scroll down, youll be able to report the fic right there but you can also check for yourself that its against ToS

all you need to do is explain that theyre deliberately mistagging things which is just not a thing on ao3 because its an archive.

by posting your fic there, ao3, has the right to manually recategorise tags. its in the ToS:

you cant deliberately mistag stuff on ao3; it is an archive. you cant tag for reach, and this is likely gonna get pat tag wranglers because they deal mostly with form not content of tags and if theyre tagging for reach, its gonna be the more popular tags.

so report the fuck out of them for it. most likely, their fic will just have tags adjusted and their account will be fine.

and if they keep doing it and get suspended for it, its their own damn fault.

also thats not even getting into the fact that mistagging fics is kinda antithetical to their goal of reaching more people because youre not reaching the people who want to read your fic?

SHADOW AND BONE Season 2, Episode 6 “Ni Weh Sesh (I Have No Heart)”

Holy shit I think I just cracked the code of why people think you can’t sell things on Tumblr 😭

[stjohnstarling]

I was reading one of the Substacks I subscribe to, talking about how they promote their publication and their various sources of traffic, when I came across this paragraph:

Now I happen to also run a fairly popular Substack (about gay vampires). One whose readers are almost entirely Tumblr users. And Tumblr clicks have just never shown up in my stats, I’m used to it. Naturally I had to comment:

It’s not just Substack’s tracking that doesn’t work on here. NO tracking works on here. Tumblr is just one of the last platforms left that completely obscures its users’ data!

That’s why there’s this persistent myth that you can’t advertise on Tumblr. It's not that you can't sell things here, it's that you can't use the invasive methods that are standard everywhere else.

“The fact that you are even on the team is preposterous. You have been entertaining the rumor that it’s a fake painting. FOREVER.” 

“Oh come now Sweetheart, it’s just a little bit of scientific curiosity. Mona hasn’t left the Louvre in years and no one outside their own experts has set eyes on it up close.”

“Mona? You and your ego, Mikaelson. Are you on first name basis with her now?”

i do think it’s important that lgbt+ television/films be allowed to suck sometimes. like that should be okay. the vampire diaries literally ran for eight seasons

this one really resonated with you all, huh

[draculagerard]

if you try looking for a post using the tumblr search function it will never show up. but you know what will? a reader x character fic

[beemovieerotica]

PSA: bot comments are taking over ao3

The above examples have been provided with the authors' permission to demonstrate what these look like.

Basic rundown:

They are all 3 sentences long

Perfect grammar, capitalization, and punctuation

Like absolutely flawless English teacher-style writing with only a single exclamation mark, ever

No mentions whatsoever of character names, settings, situations, or anything that could be tied to the story

The usernames may be identical to people who exist on ao3, but the name is not clickable, and no profile is associated with it EXCEPT when you directly search for that name. What this means: the comments come from an unregistered (not logged in) reader, bots scrape the site for real usernames, attach that to the comment, and post

Please spread the word about this so authors can filter comments and report them accordingly

There has been some speculation about why this is happening at all, and the best guess is that this is a feature that AI-training story-scraping tools are implementing to try and make their browsing traffic look legitimate

[zigzag-wanderer]

what fresh hell is this?

[comicgeekscomicgeek]

Well, this is a new one. Haven’t seen this yet, but we’ll see…
