Hello friends! Three sapphic games and technology journalists from Australia have started a podcast reviewing and discussing sapphic holiday movies. If that sounds like something you'd enjoy, you should subscribe to 'Tis The Season To Be Sapphic on Apple Podcasts, or wherever you find your podcasts.
ATTENTION ALL AO3 AUTHORS
If you are not already aware, a user by the name of nyuuzyou has posted every AO3 work numbered 1 through 63200000 that was not archive locked to the AI website Hugging Face in a public dataset. This means every work published as of March of this year that isn’t archive-locked is in that dataset.
I strongly advise going to nyuuzyou’s archiveofourown dataset on Huggingface.co and creating a discussion thread reporting the work IDs of your fics to have them taken out of the dataset. As of writing this, 16 discussion threads have been opened, 14 of which are copyright infringement claims from authors, one of which is my own claim.
This dataset has already been an attempted takedown by HF staff, but nyuuzyou filed a counterclaim and the dataset went back up.
Let’s show this AI data scraper who they’re messing with.
Sent to our inbox by the submitter: ❝there's a post going around in which the OP said they only read fics with a "1 kudo per 10 hits" to "make sure it is good" and asked other fanfic readers how they picked fics to read. the post was slightly controversial because 1/10 was unrealistic considering repeat readers, multichapter fics, etc altering the number in favour of more hits yet less kudos but most importantly, because it affected small authors.❞
Fanfic writers, do your fics pass the "1 kudo per 10 hits test"?
None of them did
1% to 30% of them did
31% to 50% of them did
51% to 70% of them did
71% to 80% of them did
81% to 99% of them did
100% of them did
Not a fanfic writer
More from the submitter: ❝numbers in percentages because some author have 1 fic and others have over 100❞
Admin's comment: Sorry, but the "1 kudo per 10 hits" rule is just dumb. As a writer and a reader, some of the most well and professionally written fics I've read don't even pass this so-called "rule". It's faulted and it's NOT a good way to determine if a fic is good at all. Because a fic that is centered around popular fandom or ship WILL almost certainly be guaranteed to have lots of kudos, because of how popular the characters are; sure, fics with lots of kudos can be good, but the number of kudos alone is not enough to determine if it's "good". Especially because lots of readers tend to NOT leave kudos even if they like the fics. And some readers tend to leave kudos on every fic they read, whether or not they actually like them. The "rule" will only discourage writers from writing and making good fics, so it's just outright harmful.
If you want to know if a fic is good or not, read the summary of the work and see if you like the writer's writing style (the summary is the most important factor for me when choosing something to read, because it tells the writing style the writer has and what the entirety of the fic will be like). You can also read the tags and see if those tags grab your attention.
I have never looked at the number of kudos a fic has when choosing something to read, and instead I only pay attention to tags and summary, and that's how I end up reading so many good fics.
— Admin 1
Edit: as people have pointed out, hits will go up if your readers love your fics enough to come back and re-read them; their views will be counted as more hits. But AO3 only allows a user to leave kudos only once. So it’s almost entirely impossible for most fics to pass this “test”, just another fault the test has.
I mean… according to the logic of the rule itself, if your readers like your works so much they come back to reread them, they will only increase the gap between hits and kudos, and therefore it’ll only mean your fics are “not good” because people read them more than once.
You see how harmful and unreliable this rule is?
This poll was submitted to us and we simply posted it so people could vote and discuss their opinions on the matter. If you’d like for us to ask the internet a question for you, feel free to drop the poll of your choice in our inbox and we’ll post them anonymously (for more info, please check our pinned post).
I never looked at the stats of any of my works before, because the idea of people looking at things I did is terrifying (I say this as someone who writes things for publication professionally, and used to work on one of the highest rated TV shows in my country...)
While only one of my works hit the 1-10 ratio, I'm stunned by how many people left kudos, and even more so by how many people actually looked at the works. Thank you so much everyone! Maybe I should start making things again...

Eleven years later, she is the co-owner of By Accident We Meet, a local garage.
Regina Mills is the mayor of Storybrooke, a lifetime racing fan just trying to reconnect with her son, Henry, who has struggled since discovering that he is adopted.
When Emma and Regina are assigned as partners in the Storybrooke Pro-Am Rally Race, it’s not exactly a perfect match. Can Regina get past her dislike of Emma for the sake of winning the race? Or will an unexpected revelation ruin any chance they have at all?
Remember - writers and artists spent months creating the fics and art you enjoy, so it would mean the world to them if you commented to tell them what you liked! A creator who feels appreciated is a creator who is more likely to write or create art again in the future!

SQ Supernova III: Artist Interview with Lego-Femslash
Interview with @Lego-Femslash and their work for Under A Blanket Of Blue
What is your favorite medium to work with? Lego. Tiny moulded lumps of plastic *chef’s kiss* When you are choosing a story do you base your choice on the snippet/summary alone or are you looking for a certain type of story? It’s one of those “I know it when I see it” type things. Basically, I want an interesting enough story that I’m happy to go over it multiple times, and spend a dozen hours thinking about it while building things. SoundofMadness just created such an interesting and complex world that I just had to play in it, and I"m so glad they let me! Which part of the creative process you enjoy the most? About halfway through the build, when I’m still surrounded by bricks, but it’s starting to take shape. Also getting to talk to the authors and enjoy that community. That’s rad. What was the most challenging thing you faced while doing this particular art? I was actually super nervous trying to portray a story this serious in toys.

Art Spotlight: Under A Blanket Of Blue [ART] by @lego-femslash
I love the intricate scenes that you are able to create with Legos. It’s amazing… This is so cool! Always amazed at your art, and how detailed everything is. This is no different with Regina in her paramedic outfit and Emma in her cop vest. I think for me the way you create the settings really stand out, because Lego is not easy to build upon with no vision, and boy do you have plenty of that when I see these picture. In awe as to how you create something so vibrant at every turn using a very pesky art form that looks absolutely beautiful in the end… I really do enjoy seeing your work Lego; the amount of detail you put into constructing both the buildings and the scenario is just spectacular. The balcony above the shop and window on the side, the hotel sign and the bench in the background, and the building with the fire escape. There’s just so much attention to detail… I don’t know how you do these lego pictures but I love them lol. Look at them they look exactly like them! Regina’s face is PERFECT… stylistically, i love everything about all of these scenes. like oh my god there is so much detail in each scene you’ve made, and honestly i am so amazed. some of these buildings are more intricate and beautiful than I’ve ever seen irl. so so amazing. i love the colors, and the way everything just looks so clean? like it’s shiny and it’s also so perfectly out together it’s just fjdncne wow. and the way you’ve taken the pictures and where the focus is, and the parts that blur out just look so epic. honestly you did so amazing

Author Post — HelveticaBrown!
We sat down with @helveticabrown to talk about Diner? I hardly even know her!, their process, and their Supernova adventure!
What inspired your story?
Lego_Femslash’s amazing artwork, of course. I knew as soon as I saw it that I had to write something to go with it and I was over the moon when I found out that I was matched to it for Protostar. I’m not entirely sure the final product is what she initially expected, but I’m hoping that was a good thing.
How do you form your stories? Do you outline beforehand or write by the seat of your pants? Do you write linearly or out of order?
Mostly I write by the seat of my pants. In this case, Lego_Femslash’s artwork gave me a pretty solid framework to build from, so I knew more or less where the story was going to go
What in your fic are you most proud of?
I thought it had some pretty solid jokes. I managed to sneak in a soylent green reference, and there was Lorde’s onion rings blog (seriously, it’s a real thing). Zelena was exactly as over-the-top as I feel she should be in any comedy piece
Is there anything you’d change now?

@helveticabrown wrote SUCH an amazing protostar story for my Diner photos last year. It’s so funny, and so, so good. You should read it, and then give them plenty of kudos and reviews.
Their story wasn’t what I expected - it was at least 10 times better and I am in awe of what they created.

I would have loved to have seen Waverly’s face when she found out Nicole’s middle name. You know Wynonna doesn’t know because she hasn’t constantly teased her. That will change.

I hardly even know her Link: Click Here To Read and Comment Author: HelveticaBrown Find them on: -Tumblr: @helveticabrown Rating: Teen and Up Warning(s): No Archive Warnings Apply Words: 10k Summary: Diner, Regina’s 1950s themed diner, is on the brink of financial ruin, but there’s no way Emma’s going to let that happen (mostly so she doesn’t have to move back in with her parents). A radio competition to win an engagement ring might just be the solution they’re looking for.
