Back on my bullshit once again

[lurkinglurkerwholurks]

ICYMI, there was fear that companies were scraping public AO3 fics to train their AI without the consent of AO3 or its users. That fear has been confirmed.

AO3 has written about what they’re doing (and what they’re not able to do), and they recommend restricting your work to AO3 registered users only. [Instructions here]

This gross misuse of the archive by techbros is why I’ve locked down my fics for the foreseeable future. I recommend the rest of you do the same.

[reshirement]

@lordoftherazzles made a quick guide for ao3 authors to lock all their works at once for registered users only here!

[odamakilock]

Someone recently messaged me worried I’d deleted all my fic - it’s all still there, it’s just locked to A03 because of this and other skimming instances.

[shieldshockfanfic]

Please note that many fanfic authors are locking their stories so that they are only accessible to registered Ao3 users.

They’re still there at Ao3. The authors have made this choice to protect their work from misuse/AI scanning.

I will forever reblog this every time it’s on my dash because it should be this loud and simple. 💖

new ask game: give me an extremely specific assumption you have about me based off of my fanfic. go.

a non-selective plan for the resurgence of fic commissions

[majorenglishesquire]

Too many children in the comments like ‘I think authors should be able to share ko-fi links :) it’s just nice’ and ‘OP is just a cop.’ Homie, OP is trying to keep AO3 fully functional without interruption. I will report your ass, too, because I value fic artists and our freedom of expression and my audience and our shared history far more than I value the few bux you wanna make on a commission.

It is not hard to link to your Tumblr or Twitter with a vague message like, “If you’re looking for my other works or other ways of supporting me, go here: link.” I have had people buy me coffees after enjoying my fic and asking where to support me. I threw up a link to my Tumblr and people cared enough to follow it. They were fully understanding when I explained in the comments that they could not commission me and I could not link them directly to any donation platform, but they could go to xyz link to read more. And they did! Nobody has to put AO3 directly on the firing line.

Go ahead and commission independently. Just do it anywhere else except on AO3. And then don’t come crying to the community when you, personally, get a C&D from a massive corporation.

AO3 is our bullet shield. Tumblr will pull your shit down. Wattpad won’t fucking protect you. LJ and FF.net already sold our asses for one (1) corn chip. AO3 is trying to protect us, you goddamn lemmings.

If you cannot follow the rules that protect fanspaces, you do not belong in our fanspaces.

The only people who misunderstand this are doing so intentionally and maliciously. Do yourself a favor and block the infants who think this isn’t a big deal.

[kedreeva]

Please remember that this ALSO INCLUDES FANDOM CHARITY AUCTIONS.

When you post charity auction fics, DO NOT note that they are commissions in any way. You can note them as “here is my thank you gift to X for such-and-such event” but please please PLEASE do not list them as commissions.

[the-sacred-now]

I think a lot of younger people are seeing this as a moral panic by OP. These are NOT being laid out as moral injunctions! This is not about being good! This is about covering your own ass and keeping fandom away from larger-scale legal trouble. No one is saying “If you break the rules you’re BEING BAD!” They’re trying to tell you “breaking these rules is DANGEROUS for yourself and potentially others as well!”

Tonight in ‘reddit headines that made me laugh’

[dressed-in-rain]

I like in the comments some people are like “well, obviously people are getting body mods and who wouldn’t choose to make themselves hot?” and it’s like.

Folks.

If we’re living in the cyberpunk dystopia and I’m getting myself modded up I’m not going to go for “sexy kewpie doll.” I’m going to have myself turned into like, a 7-foot tall monstrosity with Doc Ock arms and laser eyes.  Look, I don’t care if some extra bulk has to be added around my midsection to support the infrastructure, I could give a shit about my waist-to-hip ratio, I just want to be able to scale walls, snatch helicopters out of the sky and throw them at Jeff Bezos.

for the ask meme: omegaverse?

Hi anon! 💌

from this ask meme

I don't think it's too much of a surprise for me to give this a pretty high grade considering that I've written quite a bit of it 😅

I'm more partial to the fluffy stuff and there are some tropes that frequently show up in AOB stuff that I'm not a big fan of, but overall I like it. It's pretty easy to avoid the stuff I'm not so into, so it's really no biggie.

On average, a solid A-

[thenafics]

Hey, just a PSA from someone who has been making costumes for years.

If you DM someone out of nowhere, that you haven't talked to in years, requesting they make you the following dress for $50?

That is honestly kind of insulting. It is extremely dismissive and devalues their work to a frankly ridiculous degree.

[thenafics]

For the trope ask thing: battle couples?

From this ask game!

This trope gets a solid B+ from me! I really enjoy it when I see it, but I don't tend to seek it out as a specific trope very often.

Overall- I'm a fan of it!

candy discourse, reblog w/ your opinions on

• candy corn • licorice • peanut butter + chocolate • mint + chocolate • sour candies

[lazy8blog]

Give me a fanfiction trope and I’ll grade it:

A: Love it. Spend my time combing AO3 for it.

B: Like it. Not one of my bigger cravings, but it can scratch a certain itch if I’m in the right mood.

C: Neutral. A good author might be able to sell it, but a bad one will kill it deader than dead.

D: Not my favorite. I avoid it if I can, but it won’t necessarily put me off reading something.

F: Hate it. Will immediately make me nope out of a fic.
