PSA: AO3 HAS BEEN INFECTED WITH AI BOT COMMENTS.

Have you seen one of these dipshits? If you post regularly on ao3, chances are YES, but more likely you didn't notice nor suspect it was a bot. Sometimes they start off nice, or even praise you before getting nasty out of nowhere, like so:

But much like Grok, their newest obsession is nazism.

I don't know where they come from, or what purpose this could possibly serve other than suicidebaiting random people in the internet, I guess; but apparently they've started parroting names from real users to send these comments and shifting their general length to go by undetected. Maybe those are scrappers trying to train 'reviewbots' to be sold as part of some scam service promising to give feedback for newbie writers, who the fuck knows.

Here are more examples of the tone and backhanded compliments you can find in these:

If you regularly post on AO3 or interact with writers in it, please pass this along so they don't feel insane receiving bombs in their inbox. This is ridiculous.

Another reason to ignore negative comments (especially on AO3)

So at work I’ve been forced to learn about “AI Agentic Workflows”. But being an AO3 author, I couldn’t help but think of how this technology affects authors on AO3 (and honestly on other social media platforms too).

What I learned was this: Agentic AI workflow software makes it extremely easy to automate, and bulk-post, HIGHLY-STORY-SPECIFIC negative comments to AO3 fics.

If you’re not familiar with what an AI Agentic Workflow is, I highly recommend informing yourself. You’ll be hearing it a LOT very soon. Basically, it’s a linked linked chain of AI prompts on one/many software platforms. Each “agent” completes a task. Then it hands off the completed task to the next AI Agent in the chain, which builds on it. Then that result is handed off to another agent, etc etc, even potentially to a final agent which analyzes what worked well and what didn’t, and changes what the other agents do.

There are a ton of repercussions here.

But let’s stay focused on AO3.

With AI Agentic workflow software, a person/group who wants to silence the voice of a community can easily scrape a tag, analyze stories by the thousands, then post thousands of highly customized, story specific negative comments, all without a human being ever seeing your words.

They could even set up AI agents watching to see if you delete your story, or delete your profile, which would be a marker of success. That success marker could be shared back to the other AI agents, and the whole workflow could be changed via automation to use that more effective approach.

I’m sure the OTF is working on ways of stopping this. I’m sure most social media companies are too.

But as usual the tools to create havoc are ahead of the ones to prevent havoc.

Anyway.

TL;DR: If you get a highly-story-specific negative AO3 comment — it does NOT MEAN it was written by a HUMAN! You were probably just story 20,031 in a scraped database of 50,000 stories, all of which were being targeted because they belong to a group/topic/tag that some shitty group or agency wanted to silence because of their horrible political or social.

Don’t let them silence you. They never looked at your words to begin with.

This is your semi frequent reminder that there is no official AO3 app

All those are unofficial and available on the Google play store as of August 13th 2025. They mirror AO3's content and insert ads, for which the developer gets paid by page impression (that's every time the ad appears in the fic you're reading) not just clicks.

No money goes to AO3, nor to the fic writer. It goes to the person who did the bare minimum.

Many of these apps have poorly worded or non existent privacy policies, so they may also be mining as much data as possible and selling that on to unknown third parties.

Please, just use the official AO3 site and the browser.

Team gai moments we were robbed of

Gai: Neji! Neji: Sensei Gai: How are you feeling?? Neji: Fine. What about Naruto and the others? Gai: Everyone made it back to konoha, but sasuke got past naruto still. Neji: [exhale] No casualties then. Lee included. Gai: Thank goodness /you're/ ok, Neji. Proud of you. Lee and tenten: NEJI!!

the way naruhata is introduced as a generally "bad" neighborhood that slipped through the cracks of the hero system. the way koichi and pop are stepping up to keep their community just a little safer and cleaner and nicer and more fun through everyday actions. the way the little festival at the mall brings heroes and spotlights local artists in an otherwise overlooked community. the way that even though knuckleduster has his own agenda, he's always there to try and help by trying to track down what's happening with trigger. the way everyone from naruhata we've met in the manga comes together for pop step when she needs it. the way the problem is always first and foremost the system (mostly the police) and the solution is first and foremost community. the way that vigilantes shows that anyone, truly anyone, can be a hero. all it takes is to care about others and take the leap and dare to fly. and if you fall? well, you just have to learn how to do it the right way and keep getting back up again.

Debb's AO3 fanfic notes

Well, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? I can’t believe it’s been so long, time sure flies by!

I’m so grateful for the comments wondering if I was fine and wishing me well, sorry I went radio-silent, thank you for your concern ❤️

Sadly I had to stop writing fanfics for a bit. Writing is addictive and I was using it as a way to escape/deal with IRL, which isn’t bad per se, but it reached a point where I stopped living my own life so my characters could live theirs. Reaching that level of escapism is Not Healthy TM, indeed.

Thus the pause. For anyone that cares, I’m happy to share I’ve been living life to the fullest ever since, and I’m happy. I do broidery and investigate esoterism as a hobby, I eat healthier, I exercise. I spend time with friends and family, playing boardgames, supporting an aroace project for more visibility in my local community, worklife is somewhat stable, house is well-maintained, my cat is a cuddly void stuck to my side whenever I’m home. I usually have enough spoons to deal with the less-nice side of daily life, so all’s great!

Still, I have so many things drafted up, the timeline of how the stories were meant to develop… little scenes of drafts of emotional moments... so I’ll publish that in AO3 to bring “closure” to the fics. You can keep an eye out for those in case you were wondering about how they would have ended c: it will be a slow upload but probably happening sometime within this year lml.

The urge to write sometimes strikes me like a knife. There’s so many plot bunnies running in my head… I can’t say I won’t write fics ever again, cause the ideas sometimes don’t let me sleep aksjdakjd it just won’t be with the frequency I used to. I’ll try to stick to one-shots and shorter stories where possible ✨💕and ignore the plot-bunnies that would need a long story to come across properly.

So yeah, keep an eye out on AO3 if interested (or subscribe to get the notification of the update when it happens, if you're interested in a particular fic) and thanks for everything, it was a pleasure to have you as my readers ❤️hopefully we’ll continue to cross paths here!

See you around! Lots of love, Debb

the problem with being creative is that you start to feel very guilty when you haven’t created anything in a while

I love them so much

THE BROTHER WRANGLER, WHEEZE 🤣🤣🤣 my gentle giant was trying his best, truly 👏 oh the chaos, I love how well it comes across here

I love this so much, thank you!!!

Cute little meme-y art for The Eldest Brother by @debb987 that I’ve started months ago, finished last week and straight up forgot to post. This is just literally what half the fic felt like. The Brother Wrangler™️.

Anyways this was my first time drawing the 2012 gang (other than one screenshot redraw of Mikey’s face ages ago) and like goddamn why they gotta have so many different colors on them. Their limbs are very fun-to-draw shaped tho.

(Go check out the fic, it’s really good! Especially if you’re a fan of crossovers this is a must read!)

[debb987]

so i was going over my frame by frame images that I have stored in my files as you do

and I decided to pay attention to raph inside these projections and I saw this

you see that?

raph gets punched in the same spot, like he has the knockback in his face as well

he felt the hit

i always imagined that the hits his projections got, he felt it the same way u would inside a vehicle if it got hit. but here it seems he feels the punch in the same spot his projection got hit.

so now imma go with he feels the pain inflicted on his projections, even the multiple ones he made during the final shredder fight

so lets look at the times raphs projections got hit and imagine Raph feeling that pain hm?

his arm got ripped off

his other arm got ripped off

dude rips off his shoulder as well like his arm wasn't enough

eesh

ok so most of my ss of raph are not of his projections

im also still collecting frames from the movie

pretty excited to finish ive noticed alot of cool stuff and a few animation errors as well

i ha ve a problem

well since im lazy to go get photos imma recall some moments

at the end of the movie raphs projection shatters after crashing when saving donnie and mikey

his arm got portal chopped

all his projections got detroyed by shreddder in the final fight and they were skewred too

uhh

while writing everything i know i had more in my head but I'm tired

yea im blanking
