The only thing that would sway my vote this election is six text messages from an unidentified number during my work day.

MCR IF THEY WERE AI GENERATED: It’s not just a fashion statement — it’s a deathwish. And honestly? That’s rare.

It's not enough we just had that mess with ao3.life now we have another one targeting specifically black creators from ao3. I've found 3 of my usernames and fics I'd orphaned or put on private on this site.

I'm an author who has several dozen fics on AO3 lmao. I've been on there for like a decade now. Reader feedback is great but nobody is entitled to it, me included, and people privately archiving my stories are not robbing me of that. Get a grip.

devil works hard, but fanlore moderators work harder. they are documenting history as it happens

for anyone struggling with the whole “fanfic writers don’t own their works” concept, i strongly suggest reading this legal article, which explores the blurred lines between copyright infringement, derivative works, and the rights fanfiction writers may hold over their own original contributions.
there is a fundamental difference between owning the intellectual property your work is based on and holding rights to the original writing you’ve created.
fanfiction writers do not own the characters or worlds they borrow, but that does not automatically mean their own creative contributions are devoid of copyright protection.
the distinction matters.

we'll know when ao3 is back online because there will be a visible decrease in ridiculous chronically online takes on the tl

I'm realizing way to many people went into writing fanfiction thinking it worked like influencers and content creation.
Fanfiction is for fun. Not attention, not engagement, not for profit. It's for love a piece of media enough to write your own twist and if people like it cool.

so my shit is on here and yours probably is too if you've published to ao3. they are republishing in multiple formats and using AI to turn fics into audiobooks that they then make profit off of if people choose to buy
we got rid of the guillotine too soon

I know this tweet is well-intentioned but regret & shame are very poor motivators. I'd guess tweets like this drive people to be less happy (and therefore more addicted) rather than more happy & less addicted

The update to this that we’ve all been waiting for :) me and oomf are married!!! @mjxloui5reads2u ☺️ and I quoted Castiel in my vows and she referenced Bucky dying in Doomsday (😩) in hers, truly meant to be 🫶🏽
