PSA: New Spam Bot Tactic
Just an FYI, there is a spam bot leaving comments on every Due South fic (and likely other fandoms) working in reverse chronological order, with the apparent goal of getting writers' who engage to share their email or Discord contact information.
The new twist is that the bot leaves gushing, over-the-top praise that includes specific information about the fic. The comments all follow the same template and appear to be AI-generated (for example, the first sentence almost always ends with an emoji; the bot overuses certain words and phrases like chaotic, joy, "my heart"; comments are all approximately the same length; bot comments on only one chapter and mistakenly refers to single-chapter fics as a "chapter"). The bot moved through the fics too fast for a human to actually read them. The bot is not leaving comments on podfics, art, or videos currently, probably because the AI they are using only processes text.
All of the comments on Due South fics have been from the same account, which has no history on AO3. Many of us have blocked the account. However, a different account could easily do the same thing.
Govern yourselves accordingly.

3x01 Burning Down the House | Continuous
THIS IS ALL ONE SHOT!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS ALL. ONE SHOT.
A nearly two-minute walk and talk in the precinct set with NO CUTS. For TWO MINUTES.
This is TWO FULL YEARS before The West Wing, which popularized the long hallway single shot walk and talk.
Genuinely hard to convey how difficult a shot like this is to choreograph with so many different moving pieces. As one continuous take this shot is WILD. It means everything—including the push in to Ray and Elaine, the pull back out to include Fraser stepping precisely back into frame, the ACTUAL LIVE DOG, the walk into the bullpen with all the extras cutting in front of camera, the gag with the ink—all of that is in ONE GO, NO FUCK UPS.
INCLUDING!! One of the best pieces of acting in the ENTIRE SERIES right here:
THE love at first sight moment. In the MIDDLE of all this.
My favourite thing about this is imagining Gordon Pinsent standing patiently in the bullpen waiting for his moment for the 45 times it took to get the first ninety seconds of this shot clean.
Oh I will never be done being obsessed with this show. The level of stagecraft involved here alone is insane. Paul Gross the man you are,
Happy 27th birthday today, Burning Down the House (Sept. 14, 1997)!! You are still iconic🇨🇦🍁
