my qifrey fic hit 250 kudos recently so i've decided to actually promote it this time. it's a character study that touches on the csa allegories in wha; a remediation on cptsd, relationships, and revenge. the cycle, rated m, 3.7k words / #orufrey archiveofourown.org/works/83…

and i'm sorry to say this too, but ao3 is responsible for regulating its now extremely large and unwieldy userbase, and they should plainly remind users of its tos.
i'm sorry to say it, but ao3 has gotten too big and mainstream. the ai crawling/training for years, tradpub scouting for easy money, companies leveraging it for profit, no community.

ao3 should hand out more bans AND have a stricter tos than it has right now. it can’t be run like a small community anymore. this is irresponsible.

ao3 readers constantly complain about wattpad, but at this point ao3 is its slightly better cousin.

i'm thinking about stopping posting on ao3 or removing myself completely altogether. i don't care to make myself a part of whatever this is.

this is all guesswork but this sole panel choice of teen qifrey makes me feel like he retreated into himself during those missing years... imagine we run this back and see qifrey's expression here from olruggio's perspective

imagine being olruggio and suddenly qifrey is in this state of melancholy for years and not knowing why

Asking for people to maybe tell you they enjoyed your fanfiction is capitalist and "spiritually bourgeoisie". Truly we have our greatest minds contributing to this discourse. Awesome job everyone

here's an ellipsus copy: ellipsus.com/read/2xFtjcYQ7U…
just posted the final chapter to my orufrey fic (!!). it's about untangling trauma and intimacy, the aftermath of burning out the silverwood, and accepting happy endings. after everything, after all / 21k words (complete) / #orufrey, #whaspoilers 🔗: archiveofourown.org/works/87…

blaming a handful of people reporting fic google drives for them being deleted, instead of google: famous for deleting anything, especially drives with explicit content accessed by millions of people within hours

"it's an archive" put on google, famous for being the opposite of an archive, weaponizing your data, and doxing you just because lol

i get you’re trying to help and this isn’t directed at you op, but everyone should just assume everything online is being scraped. don’t take tech companies’ word on anything.
Some helpful info as I’ve seen some fic authors concerned about this: Google explicitly says in their policies that private Google drive files aren’t used for training by default. Source: support.google.com/docs/answ…
