How in the fuck do we live in a world where if individuals reproduce or copy pictures or books or soundtracks or movies that’s copyright infringement and they’ll face stiff punishments but if huge companies steal everyone’s data from the same sources that’s just … AI?

a correctly tagged fic, one person throwing a temper tantrum because they don’t know how to exclude tags on ao3 and didn’t even read the fic, harassment campaign, author removes fic. Some of yall don’t belong in fandom, you belong in a catty bitch theater troupe
@FormerlyIr I’m such a big fan of your fics and I was wondering if I can have your permission to typeset and bind you’re Paul/Chani fic ‘Name a Thing and You Own a Piece of it.’
This would be for personal use only 😊-Emma
AO3 is not social media, it's a library. Fanfic is not content, it's a hobby. Fic writers are not published authors who should stay out of fan spaces. They ARE fans. Fic readers are not clients or customers, they're fellow fans. The sooner people realise all that, the better.
'AO3 needs an app and ads!' No, it will be subject to the platforms ToS or sponsor demands aka censorship.
'AO3 needs an algorithm!' No, it's not a soc med platform, it's an archiving site.
'AO3 needs to monetize authors!' No, OTW will be sued into oblivion.
This AI fic stuff is so depressing. I don’t even really care if you get 20k kudos for it, I just hate that I’m tricked into reading it. Sometimes I clock it a few chapters in. Sometimes I’m not entirely sure. But it sucks to be constantly second guessing.
Starting today, I'm blocking/muting users on Ao3.
If you rate any fics (mine OR others) in your bookmarks, I'll mute/block you going forward.
Writers do this for FREE, on their own time. It's so disheartening to see '6.5/10' on something writers spent months on.
It's cruel.
○ buying books because you love reading
○ buying books to support artists
◉ buying books to feel something, then hoarding them like a dragon guarding its unread treasure.
