I'm so glad to see AO3 making it absolutely clear that none of these things are allowed to even be HINTED at.

Here's some of the language from the new post about AO3's police on commercial promotion:

-

There is a wide variety of things that are not allowed under AO3's non-commercialization rules.

Any other language which one might interpret as requesting or having requested financial contributions, whether for yourself or others. This covers indirect references, euphemisms, or other language intended to get around the TOS. Some examples of this include:

Thanks for the coffee!

Guillermo Del Toro on AI "art"

I’m unaware of any other such studies done and I’d love to see more. This aligns with my experience of using AI developer tools though for sure

anne rice writing the gayest vampire book series of all time and literally creating the model. and then deciding she does not like when people make her gay vampires gay in their fanfiction. and does not like people co-opting her vampires to write their own stories about them. and just generally does not like gay fanfiction about her gay vampires to the point of literally sending cease and desist letters threatening legal action against people who are writing gay fanfiction about her gay vampires. and then subsequently failing to advance this to such an extent that fanfiction in general (regardless of fandom) has arguably been strengthened in its legality because of her failed efforts. and then she dies and they make a tv series out of her most famous work (the one about the vampires). and in this universally critically acclaimed tv show they add a bunch of stuff in a way that technically makes it a Transformative Work (fanfiction) and makes the vampires SUPER duper gay. and inspires ten thousand new fanfictions to be written. about anne rice’s gay vampires. :)

You need to move off of Google Docs!

I know some people have seen the news recently and may be doubtful of it. To the uninformed, Google Docs has started using AI to find "inappropriate" and "problematic" content, scraping your documents and deleting it. I know some people are unsure if this is real or think this is not going to affect them.

I regret to inform you that this is real.

As I was on a call with some writers and we were moving our documents as a precautionary measure, one person discovered entire pages missing that they did not delete themselves. This is happening to us, it's not a hoax or a rumor, it's happening right now. You need to move everything if you want to preserve it.

If you're a writer with writer mutuals, please reblog this so they know. I rarely write on Google Docs anymore, but I started my fanfics on there, and I would be devastated if I lost works more than ten years old because people decided marketing appeal is more important than creative freedom.

Apparently not everyone knows that cleopatra and Julius Ceasar had sex. Well they did. In an extramarital affair even. They made a boy named Caesarion. He was the actual last pharaoh of Egypt for like ten minutes.

No, it is not too much to ask for. You're asking the wrong person.

Fearing such hits as “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park,” “National Brotherhood Week,” “The Masochism Tango,” “The Element Song,” “Be Prepared,” and “Lobachevsky”
