These photos snatched my entire soul

ao3 is not instagram, and it’s not embarrassing to comment on a story that’s old. we understand that you just happened to come across it now; writing is magical in that you often come across the right story at just the time you need to read it.

also, authors will literally cry over their keyboard if you comment on the stuff they write.

shoutout to the words "overmorrow" and "ereyesterday". english losing these words was stupid. "the day after tomorrow" "the day before yesterday" clunky-ass constructions. revolting. i'm bringing overmorrow and ereyesterday back in my idiolect and there is nothing you can do about it

Rules and Guidelines | FAQ | AO3 Collection 

Sign-ups open tomorrow, July 3rd at 9AM EST | 2PM BST !!           

Remember to thoroughly read our Rules and Guidelines and FAQ posts before you sign up! All participants are bound by the Rules and Guidelines; make sure you know what’s in them! 

Sign-up forms are available here! Please make sure you are using this year’s sign-up form and that you’ve got the HTML formatting right. This makes it much easier for us to read your sign-up and match you with a great gifter and recipient! 

Sign-ups are first come, first served. We will be capping the number of writers at 35. There’s no cap for artists. Proxy and placeholder sign-ups are permitted, so long as you submit your full sign-up form within 24 hours. 

Sign-ups are held on Dreamwidth. You don’t need a Dreamwidth account to sign up, but be aware that if you sign up via anonymous comment you won’t be able to make edits to the code or substance of your sign-up form.

Speaking of, if you make any edits to your post after your initial sign-up, you must send the mods a quick email to let us know what you’ve changed. This lets us account for it when we match you!

If you’re thinking about signing up with a collaborator and/or if you’ve dropped from the fest in the past, you must contact the mods before sign-ups to check in about eligibility.

Remember that signing up for an exchange fest means that there’s someone creating a gift tailored to your tastes, and someone else eagerly awaiting your creation! Please think carefully about your availability and make sure that you’re aware of the fest deadlines and that you can realistically meet them. (If that’s up in the air, there’s always the option of signing up as a pinch hitter!)

If you have any questions that aren’t answered here, please shoot us an email at [email protected], and we’ll get back to you ASAP!

We hope to see you all tomorrow!

you gotta read, you gotta write, you gotta draw, you gotta watch films and shows. there is literally NO time to be employed

one thing that has started taking ppl aback when an artist/writer is exposed for using genAI is the fact that the guilty party sometimes includes "do not feed my work into AI" disclaimers on their pieces

lots of folks (myself included) find that very hypocritical, but i want to explain why the genAI users themselves often don't consider that request hypocritical, and it stems from how they perceive the technology

if they're not slapping that PSA down in an attempt to throw ppl off their scent (and to be clear: some are doing that), it's likely because they think of genAI as an assistive tool that's supporting the execution of their Creative Vision, and this becomes very obvious when you hear them talk about genAI because they tend to liken it to photoshop or spellcheck -- just another resource that helps close the gap between their artistic vision and the product they're able to produce; something that makes the tedious process of creation a bit less labor-intensive

it's not unethical, they claim; it's efficient! it's just a tool!

it's just a tool, it's just a tool, it's just a tool

you see, at their core, they've deluded themselves into believing that having an idea is the same as being an artist/writer; the idea is theirs, and "the tool" just helps them polish their idea up so they can share it with others (and then get rewarded with those sweet, sweet hits of dopamine when strangers on the internet click "like")

lots of them describe this as "using genAI to bring original stories/concepts to life" (barf), and it's also why, without a lick of irony, some of them put "do not feed my work into AI" notes on the things they post

the thought of someone iterating on their idea bothers them; the tech itself does not

personally? i think we should toss all of them to the lobsters
