Me, Reading My Fic Drafts: Damn This Is Pretty Good, When's The Author Gonna Finish It?

I hate the idea of hiding stories from people who don't have an Ao3 account - it's not fair to them when they want to enjoy fanfic. But with AI being such a monster in the writing space, I might have to lock my stories as well. I know there's a good chance it won't stop AI from taking my art, but it's better than doing nothing. This shit sucks

AO3 has been scraped, once again.

As of the time of this post, AO3 has been scraped by yet another shady individual looking to make a quick buck off the backs of hardworking hobby writers. This Reddit post here has all the details and the most current information. In short, if your fic URL ends in a number between 1 and 63,200,000 (inclusive), AND is not archive locked, your fic has been scraped and added to this database.

I have been trying to hold off on archive locking my fics for as long as possible, and I've managed to get by unscathed up to now. Unfortunately, my luck has run out and I am archive locking all of my current and future stories. I'm sorry to my lovelies who read and comment without an account; I love you all. But I have to do what is best for me and my work. Thank you for your understanding.

me romancing rex in the fog knows your name:

Everything that's wrong with Solas could have been solved if he'd spent a single moment of his life on the floor of a women's bathroom at the club at 3 am. Thousands of years of regret? No problem: this drunk girl with runny mascara just told him "FUCK them all. You're fucking beautiful. You did nothing wrong ever. Your head is so shiny." Boom. Cured. 

He would end up crying hysterically in the arms of, like, five hyper-supportive twenty-somethings. They would do his make-up. He would never look back.

Now that all the official assets for the Requiem Cafe is out, can I say that, H0NE-san's art is absolutely PERFECT for translating Homestuck into Anime.

Like- THEY DID IT

you really can write whatever you want

every night I think “wow this might be the night I go to bed early” and every time without fail I fuck it up

Nothing beats the feeling when you start getting comments on every fic in a fandom or ship from one person, and it’s clear that they’re going on a fic-binge. 

I need more punching in Inuyasha. Give me an oc who travels from the modern world who doesn't have powers or a magical weapon, but they've been boxing since they were a kid.

"No, Naraku, I don't have any special abilities. But let me get close enough and my knuckles can introduce your nose to the back of your head just fine."

It took me this long to figure out that Yashahime is not, in fact, just a cash grab by Viz that Rumiko designed outfits for, but that it is an official manga written by Rumiko herself...

The well of disappointment I feel is deep, gotta tell you.

listen now :')
