"happy valentine's day to me," i say, opening ao3 to read about the same two characters falling in love for the twentieth time

lets do some rol play so some of you understand:

You are going to this robot and saying: "hey you. you have all the material you have stolen from other authors, right?"

"yeah i got it all kekeke."

"Give me a plot point you've stolen, one that's good."

"Here."

"Nice. Now some unsuspecting author's whole style. Hopefully one they have worked for decades on developing."

"Thankfully, there's still some ppl that dont get the memo that now word, google docs, and almost every writing software under the sun is stealing from them. Here you go."

"Thanks mate. Now I'm going to put this together and post it."

"Beware: Im going to scrap it later again."

"But I worked so hard on putting it together, even with your help!... and doesn't that mean that if you keep scraping from AI works, the quality of everything is going to go down?"

"Yeah."

"So why are you telling me this? Isn't that bad for your bussiness?"

"It's because I'm an author desguised as an AI trying to make you understand why using AI is bad in all levels: for the environement, for intelectual property, and for art in itself."

i couldnt be bothered to narrate a thing, im so tired. hope this helps

NOTICE: As more and more fanfic writers are using generative AI for their works (you uncreative dweebs), I hereby swear on everything I hold dear that I have not and will NEVER use generative AI in ANY of my written work. Everything I post will be organically and creatively my own.

i'm in

it was for me 🫠

I literally graduate in a month that’s so wild

I’m gonna have like

An actual proper college degree

Genuinely never thought it would happen

Third time’s the charm, innit

oh thabk god ill be using this from now on cause why should i have to tag the basics one by one everytime TT.TT

they always come when im abt to sleep and if i dont write them down the next day im like "how did that go...?" 🙈

Why is it my muse be inspiring me to write at midnight, always bloody midnight!? I have a life y'know! Ughh I just managed to finish writing a chapter and I'm sure it's bad cause I'm so fucking tired but also... I have... ideas (?).

The “That’s immoral you shouldn’t write that, we need to get that taken down” discourse on tiktok right now is PISSING ME OFFF

Wdym you want censorship for a literal ARCHIVE are you fucking stupid

Ao3 was literally founded to preserve works that were largely getting taken down due to censorship

Censorship is the opposite of what Archive of Our Own stands for

The TAGS and WARNINGS are there for a REASON. Use them and stop complaining

The universal rule—don’t like, don’t read

It’s THAT simple

It is not the prettiest but here is a little chart I made of skin tones.

The idea is to eye-drop anywhere on the chart to get a unique skin tone instead of getting stuck in the loop of “white, tan, dark”.
