@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.
yk that feeling when your mutuals with your fav fanfic author-
im pretty sure someone made a post about it and now im just gonna confirm it cuz queenofquestions (quizzicalquiver on ao3) just followed me on tumblr (ITS CLOSE ENOUGH) and i feel like a god.
@queenofquestions what did i do to deserve this honour T-T
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:
old gods are waking
this one time i was searching up which poisons can kill the fastest and a suicide helpline showed up..
things I have googled back to back while writing: how to use cigarette, moon positions over year, ancient musical instruments, does melted glass smell, what is haemoglobin….
Decided to make a bingo card
Rules: If the thing in the square applies to you fill it out.

not the animated table back there 😭
I do love the phrase executive dysfunction bc the image it conjures is of a bunch of people wearing business suits around a long oval conference table arguing with each other to the point where they’re getting into physical fights, but in the background there’s just a big empty whiteboard with a To Do list with one item on it and that item is “take shower”
a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted
their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"
"Every writer"?
come on
SPREAD THE WORD PEOPLE ITS HAPPENING
Reblog if you’re grateful for your commenters <3
doing this cuz why not, also im coming to the realisation that my fandom might actually be kind of dead-
