Important thing just popped up for fic writers and artists

Hello everyone! I'm writing this because I've locked my fics on AO3, due to a GenAI scrap of AO3. Most of my works are sadly affected, and have thus gotten stolen, except for like the newest two. @morriganfey has locked hers down too, and some others may too in the future.

If you want to read my works, whether new ones or old ones, you should get an AO3 account! I promise it makes things much easier!

If you're a writer on AO3, you might want to take a look at this Reddit post, see if any of your works are affected

This is a problem regardless of fandom or anything. If your fics weren't locked down already, and they fall between a certain number of ids, then it got stolen.

Now I've tagged this with mostly my own fics and the fandoms I've been posting fics in, but I've also tagged some Anti-AI tags and some tags relating to AO3, so hopefully a couple more people will see it too.

It'd be great if people could reblog this. Because regardless of fandom, this is a problem for everyone, both for artists and for writers

Thanks everyone! Even if this is really annoying, I know

Does anyone ever think about how Varmen never once questioned all the people she ran into who claimed to know her. Like she doesn't even think twice about it. I reckon faculty must've run a few UNfamiliar faces by her and told her some sort of series of clever half lies

Why are y'all shocked that Luke in the show calls Annabeth his little sister when he literally does that in the books. smh 🙄

Ballpit Springdad fans should read the book, he's very much less murderous to oswald there if I remember correctly

The sea-longing thing really gets to me. Legolas longed for something so deeply that it was like life had a hole, and yet if he sailed before the fellowship had died his life would have still had a void in it. That chapter had to be closed before he could sail. And then also he took Gimli with him because he had no intention of leaving Gimli to a past chapter of his life. Gimli was always meant to continue to the story with him, and elf heaven was not going to be heaven without him. Gimli had to be present or the void would still be there. I think about this. A lot

Update on the AI scrapping situation

I really wish I didn't have to make another post about this, but here we are.

The AO3 dataset, while currently unavaible on the HuggingFace website. has been made into a downloadable, still avaible Torrent file by the person who scrapped AO3

And all the others are avaible here too!

This person scrapped all of these works, whether they be drawings or writings, for AI purposes and to sell them!

The website datafish, the one these are avaible on, is based in Russia, and from what I know it's not responding to DMCAs. Despite all these datasets consisting of stolen work, so far nothing has been done against these!

This was brought to my attention by @mazois in the previous post's comment section, and I've did a little bit of further digging into this, but just know I'm not an expert in this! I'm just another scared person who's work was stolen

This dataset is still downloadable! This can still be downloaded and used by anyone who wishes for it!

Now I really hate doing these tumblr posts, mostly because I shouldn't need to, but also because I kind of feel like I'm bothering people with this, but I just want everyone to have a chance to do something about this.

Right now I don't know if the same approach will work with this one. Even enough DMCAs get filed, maybe something will get done. But I don't know. All I know is that these things are still avaible, even at least one of those that were deleted off of HuggingFace

Now I've tagged the same things as before, with a couple extra added tags, and I'll also link the last post relating to this issue here

Now, while this is a shitty situation, please do not harrass this person! Not because of the whole don't get on their level or whatever, but because it might help them get these datasets back online if they can say they've been harrassed over this! If we want something to get done about this, we must not give this person ground to push back!

Sorry to bother everyone about this again, but I wanted to share this in case someone wanted to know this.

I really dont get why people obsess over a live action actors hair so much. Like first with annabeth Leah Jeffries and now with astrid nico Parker. I see some many people going "well, im not saying shes bad or that shes not the right actor, but couldn't they have given her a wig?"

I cant imagine how frustrating and tedious it would have been in nico had to wear a wig, especially in the flying scenes. And being blond literally doesnt add much to her character. Like sure, blondes are seen as dumb. And astrid and annabeth are anything but. But you know who also has to deal with stupid prejudice like that. Black girls, and girls of like every shape, size, and color.

Annabeth being blond isnt really all that important to her character as many people may believe. And with astrid its even less. Who cares about hair color. Nico Parker played a magnificent astrid. People need to stop being weird.

We all burned out in our twenties because they taught us to "Chase our Dreams" when we were kids. But humans are persistence predators, so we just ran out of energy mid hunt and watched as our dreams galloped away in front of us.
