Sorry to break the theme of the blog but a lot of people who post their incredible works here use Twitter so
Reblogging this for a second time because your art will also be used in AI training models, apparently.
Artist pals, heads up
Hi,
It’s your friendly neighbor fanfic author here. In the light of this apparent new trend of people feeding unfinished fics to AI to get an “ending,” and some people even talking about “blanket permissions,” let me just say this:
I EXPLICITLY FORBID ANYONE TO FEED MY FICS TO AI. DUDE, THAT IS ABOUT THE LEAST RESPECTFUL THING YOU CAN DO. IF YOU DO IT, SHALL YOU BE EXCOMMUNICATED FROM YOUR FANDOM AND WALK ON LEGOS BAREFOOT TILL THE END OF DAYS.
That is my anti-permission.
Thank you for your attention.
Oh no! You've noticed a mistake in your knitting several rows back! Do you...
frog until the reach the mistake and reknit
ladder down to the offending stitch and fix it
fix it afterwards, eg by duplicate stitch
ignore it

Just so we're all on the same page with the writer's strike.
If during the strike, it's announced about AI generated shows. We are not watching them. Not even out of curiosity. Let them fail every AI generated show they try make.
The human voice can not be replaced by AI. Don't let them try.
This isn't likely to happen, but the threat of it will, and it's important to know the difference.
The studios can't make an "AI-Written" show without a human writer. This isn't because Chat-GPT isn't ready for a Sunday school play much less Prime Time, though that is true. This is because AI-generated content is public domain until modified, and under the US Copyright Office's current standards, modified very substantially.
Modifying raw output sufficiently to be copyrightable would require a writer, and the writers are on strike, so somebody's crossing that picket line if they do that. Without that kind of heavy rewriting, the studios wouldn't own the scripts of the material they were putting out, and their entire business model is built on IP monopolies even when such monopoly isn't required for their success.
The studios are going to threaten both the workers and the audiences with AI-generated scripts, but that threat has no teeth, because they were already planning it and that's a big part of why the strike happened.
The studios have dreams of AI-genned scripts being rewritten for pennies by temporary contract writers. This isn't a new impulse. Reality TV was a prototype, the constant farming of social media for unpaid content is another.
AI is a tool, and advancements in tool technology should benefit workers, not exploit them. If a writer wants to use an AI tool for part of their process, I have no problem with that. But a studio wants to use an AI to generate base concepts so no writer(s) are the "Creator" (in the "created by" in the credits sense) and then underpay freelancers to make the stuff tolerable? That's right out, in the same way using unpaid interns to generate the same material would be.
An update on the yuki embroidery
Do your followers know about Libby? It's an app where, at least in the United States, you can listen to as many professionally recorded audio books as you'd like for FREE, so long as you have a library card. You don't even need to visit the library, you can just borrow the audiobooks from your phone.
I don't know. I hope they do. But perhaps a few more of them will after reading this.
Bring the library to you! Free digital books, magazines and more! Available for iOS and Android devices.
April Fool’s Day is in a few days, and I just wanted to make this clear. This blog is safe, and I can promise you no screamers, nothing emotionally abusive, no fake posts, and nothing to intentionally trigger dissociation. You are safe here.
AO3 Etiquette
It would seem a whole new kind of AO3 reader/writer is emerging and it is becoming clear not everyone quite understands how the website community works. Here is some basic guidance on how most people expect you to go about using AO3 to keep this a fun community archive that funtions correctly:
Kudos is for when the story was interesting enough to make you finish reading. If it sucked or was badly written, you probably left. If you finished - you kudos.
If you liked it, you should comment. It can be long and detailed or a literal keysmash. Writers don't care, we just love comments.
No critisism unless the author has specifically asked or agreed to hear it. Even constructive critisism is a no-no unless an author note tells you it's okay. Many people write as a fun hobby or a way to cope with, among other things, insecurity. Don't ruin that for them.
Do not comment to ask the author to write/update something else. It's tacky and off-putting and will probably have the opposite effect than the one you want.
There is no algorithm, it's an archive. Use the search and filter function to add/remove the pairings/characters/tropes etc. you want to read about and it will find you the fics that fit the bill.
For this to work, writers must tag and rate stories. This avoids readers finding the wrong things and missing the stuff they want. I don't care how cringy that trope is in your eyes - it gets tagged.
Character A/Character B means a ROMANTIC or SEXUAL relationship of some kind. Character A&Character B is PLANTONIC, like friendship or family.
Nothing is banned. This is an implicit rule because banning one thing is a slipperly slope to banning another and another, until nothing is allowed anymore. Do not expect anyone to censor for you. Because of the tags system, you are responsible for your own reading experience.
People can create new chapters and sequels/fic series any time after they "complete" a story. So it's considered perfectly normal to subscribe, even to a finished story. You can even subscribe to the author instead just to cover your bases.
Do not repost stories or change the publishing date without an extremely good reason (like a complete top to bottom rewrite). It's an archive, not social media. No one cares what's the most recent, only what fits their tag needs.
Avoid deleting a story you wrote if you hate it - orphan it so others can still enjoy it, without it being connected to you anymore.
This is a creative fanfiction archive. No essays on your insights or theories please. There are other places for that.
I KNOW there's plenty more I missed but I'm trying to cover most of the basics that people seem to be struggling with.
I invite anyone to add to this, but please explain, don't berate.
People are so entitled in the comments damn like no you writer don’t have to put up with you being rude they wrote you entertainment for free
To the people in the notes who are insisting that they have the right to leave negative feedback on AO3:
What you’re not understanding is that fandom is not a service, it’s a community. I saw someone compare leaving a comment on AO3 to reviewing a product on Amazon - if you didn’t like the product, you’re going to say so. But fanworks are not products and you didn’t pay money for them. They were shared with you.
Leaving un-asked-for criticism in AO3 comments isn’t like reviewing a product you were disappointed with. It’s like going to a friend’s house when they’ve cooked a meal and telling them all the things that are wrong with the food. Sure, you can do it, but it’s rude as hell and they are probably not going to invite you to dinner again.
("Can you leave crit in comments” has been a debate as long as I’ve been in fandom, but 20 years ago the argument was “I’m helping the writer improve!” and not “I am a consumer with a right to complain.” Fandom has gotten more creepily capitalistic over the decades but jerks are evergreen, I guess.)
further and very very important: you cannot solicit for commissions on Ao3. this is against ToS. you will have your account fucked. you cannot publicly solicit for commissions.
(also: do not criticise gifts that is the tackiest, most ‘this person will never have friends’ behaviour. you wanna be rude about the fic? do it in your discord with your buddies. not in front of the person who wrote it.)
also like. you’re not helping people improve. you’re putting them off writing anything at all. all you’re getting out of it is fewer fics in a fandom you presumably want more fics in
took me 8 months and very approx 380m of embroidery floss, and I'm now finished. going to have it framed soon :)
Bruh, that tiny ass font?! HOW?!
I bow to your skill you god of the needle and floss! I'd LOVE to do this for my dad, any tips or tricks to know before taking it on?
I finished filling it in, and have decided to do something about the second line. It's too tiny to bold and have it make clear sense
So my options are:
Take off the line and leave it blank
Take off the line and do it larger on the other side
Take off rhe line and replace it with the "sin symbols" from the game with their respective colors in order from eldest to youngest
And I wanna know your thoughts? Lemme know in comments or reblogs
reblog this if your blog is a safe space on april fools and won’t have any jumpers, screamers, or anything scary or anxiety inducing
All outlined! Now to wash, dry and fill in!
your periodic reminder that harassing creators who produce content you aren’t interested in will not result in the creation of the content you want. it will just result in less content, overall, and the slow decay of the fandom as the creators leave and nothing replaces them
PLEASE BE CAREFUL FOR ANYONE WHO USES “BLUEBUFFALO” FOR THEIR DOGS!!
@k9kesi
And cats. Blue Buffalo killed @sidneystrange ‘s cat.
THIS THIS THIS!!
I’ve been telling everyone I know for YEARS not to buy Blue Buffalo.
This is the short story:
A few years ago I took my sick cat, Ankh, to the vet. The vet and vet tech asked what I fed her. I told them Blue Buffalo. They looked like I had just told them I fed her razor blades and cyanide. They diagnosed her with pancreatitis and said that nearly all of the cats they’d been seeing lately with pancreatitis were being fed Blue Buffalo. They gave her medicine and sent her home. Two days later she had a seizure and died right in my arms.
The day after she died Hannibal started displaying the same symptoms she had so I panicked hard and took him to the vet. Got the same meds and the same diagnosis. Luckily Hannibal survived.
I wish Ankh had survived. She was only ten and the best cat I’ve ever had. Literally the best and five years later I still cry when I think about her.
FUCK BLUE BUFFALO.
I don’t know the full story behind the tweets above, but a Google search shows there HAVE been several recalls regarding this brand, especially in 2016. I would absolutely avoid as it is not worth the risk.
@ladycyon
Good god thank you so much for sharing this because I’ve lately been considering switching to this brand cus it’s supposed to be so much better than all the others but good god what the hell.
I worked in a vet for a little while and I shit you not, when a dog came in with constant diarrhea they were always eating Blue Buffalo. We changed the food and the dog got better every time. Blue Buffalo is garbage food and never feed it to your pets.
I’ve never heard of this brand but I love my dog with all of my heart and I’d be broken if I ever accidently fed her this and got her sick (people give me different dog food to try all the time). I’d hate for anyone else to lose their pet also.
um?? what the fuck? holy FUCK my boyfriend and I were just about to start feeding our cat blue buffalo omg
Wft really?? Im never going to buy that killer food!! Praying for your pets!
I’m so glad I know this, I’d be heartbroken if my dog died
not trans related, but i have like no followers and this needs a wide audience
blue buffao has had many recalls for reasons including:
- salmonella
- mold
- aluminum
- melamine
- toxic levels of vitamin d
- propylene glycol
please share this with any pet owners you know, this is extremely important
Reblogged August 2019
Never buy Blue Buffalo. They’ve been awful for years.
What makes me so angry about this brand is that they’ve received so many lawsuits and complaints about there product, they’ve rebranded to Blue Wilderness and still advertise themselves as something great via there commercials with the wolves and junk. Yet, they still haven’t made any sort of change to the product.
Don’t buy Blue Wilderness either!
