this is too true
me, struggling to write: hmm, this part is a little difficult. maybe i should check my planning document, which i created as a helpful tool for my writing process!
the planning document:
@queenofquestions if u havnt seen this already then i recommend you archive lock your fics so only signed in users can see it (hearbreaking, but the only option) and resend this to anyone else you know with fics on ao3, stay safe (also anyone else that sees this)
Since AO3 has been scraped due to Hugging Face, I have officially decided to change the visibility of my AO3 fics from "Show to all" to "Only show to registered users". This is something I have been thinking about for a while. I did a poll about, "What are you doing about you fanfics on AO3 and AI stealing them?" over a year ago.
The poll can be found here: https://www.tumblr.com/stars-forever/748514895577939968/what-are-you-doing-about-you-fanfics-on-ao3-and-ai?source=share
I have enabled comment moderation on all my fics for a while, but after having pretty much all of my works effected by the Hugging Face scraping, I feel like changing my fics visibility is the best thing to do at the moment.
I have been putting this off for so long because I was once someone without an FF.net and AO3 account, and read fics as a guest, but I don't want to take the chance of having my works put into an AI again.
Thank you to all the guests who read my fics, left kudos, and comments. I couldn't have gotten here without you guys. Thank you also to all the users who also read my fics, left kudos, and comments. I couldn't have gotten here without you guys either.
At this time, I am only changing the visibility of my fics on AO3 and not FF.net. Most of my fics on FF.net are older ones and are not posted on AO3. I don't think there is a way to change a fic's visibility on FF.net, but if someone knows how to please let me know.
If you need an invitation for AO3, please let me know, and I can send you one.
I'm really sad that I have to do this, but it is best for me and my work. These changes will take effect within 24 hours. Thank you, everyone, for understanding.
Whenever I start writing a new story, I'm always super hesitant to post anything about it because I'm never sure if I'm gonna finish it. I have literally a dozen half written stories with 50+ words in them
everyone deserves to see this masterpiece
(Because how someone dresses says so much about who they are.)
Polished — Sleek, well-put-together, and clean-cut. Grungy — Worn, layered, dark, and deliberately messy. Bohemian — Flowing, artsy, natural fabrics; lots of patterns. Minimalist — Clean lines, neutral colors, nothing extra. Sporty — Functional, casual, often branded or gym-inspired. Vintage-inspired — Nostalgic, retro cuts, old-school flair. Dark academia — Tweeds, layers, and mysterious literature major vibes. Streetwear — Trendy, oversized, edgy with a splash of attitude. Gothic — Dark colors, lace, leather, often dramatic. Soft girl / boy — Pastels, gentle patterns, dreamy aesthetics. Preppy — Polos, cardigans, and a “top of the class” shine. Business casual — Professional, but relaxed—like they could go from meeting to martini. Careless / wrinkled — Looks like they got dressed in the dark, and kind of did. Eclectic — Mix-and-match chaos, but somehow… it works. Utilitarian — Functional over fashionable, lots of pockets, maybe ex-military.
gonna close tumblr app and start writing now. #The Horror
my hyperfixtation is lady lesso i cant live without her 😭
people who don't experience hyperfixation don't know what it feels like to hyperfixate so much on something that it becomes not only your subject of obsession but also your source of happiness and literally the main reason why you still keep going; literal source of strength and life.
