I just got an ad on YouTube and the first three lines are "do you still do it on a towel? Then you need the Love Blanket. It's cuddly and waterproof."

I'M GOING TO KILL SOMEONE

Working on my javascript for my web page. Turns out I have the perfect kind of setup to accomplish some of the project requirements, specifically with even handlers and user interactions

My website, conceptually, will load a different employee details page depending on what employee name is clicked on. But I need to load it dynamically (instead of hard-coding it) so that the user can add or delete employees & it'll be able to still load the relevant shit.

So! Only one employee details page, but depending on how it's loaded, it'll load a different employee's information. Still working on getting down Exactly how to do it (I'm thinking using URL parameters that'll read a different object depending on what ID is used)

It's entirely doable. In fact, it's probably extremely common to do in web pages. No one wants to hard-code information for every new object. Of course not. And thus the usefulness of dynamic javascript stuff.

I can do this. I can very much do this.

I love it when I fire up my Star Wars randomizer and it opens immediately because that means that someone else is using it and I'm happy it's useful ^^

the comic is on break for a little while. i dont know when it will come back but im realizing that if i want the next part of it to be good, then i need to not be forcing myself to crap out pages. sorry about that.

ok thats the short version but to elaborate a bit more, ive been struggling with my mental health (BORING BORING) and im about to go back to school for the spring semester (WHO CARES) so its a good storm of reasons(DUMB ANALOGY) to admit i need a break. hopefully once i get into a rythym at school i can make a bunch of stuff, but also maybe just have more time to rest for real, as opposed to doing nothing while being stressed out of my mind. maybe ill also make some an actual new post section for the website. question from the audience: 'why make a website page for your comic instead of just making more comic?' well you see, the explanation is perfectly simple and scientific. it's because shut up. shut up is why.

i saw someone with json tattooed on their wrist and i was like wawa you mean like that file structure? and shes like yea its just pretty to me. i wouldve married her on the spot

[racke7]

And apparently the API is using only the most recent stats? So if you want earlier stats you need to manually edit each stat that's been changed since whatever gen you wanted.

Yay. Fun.

Figured out a way to make the API work for me. Currently writing it into a file up to Gen5. We'll see how that goes.

Nevermind. It finished whilst writing this. And it did work. Yay.

AO3 Data Scraped for AI Training Dataset

What is happening, and what you can do. Check for potential edits with additions at the end of the post!

What is happening? What do we know?

A user going by "nyuuzyou" on the HuggingFace platform uploaded a dataset a few days ago - containing scraped content from AO3. HuggingFace is a very popular platform and widely used for sharing machine learning and AI models/datasets. The scraped dataset includes fics, fanart, and other fanworks - all taken without permission and intended for use in training gen AI models. You can find more information in this Reddit post.

This dataset is one of several compiled from various websites—at least seven in total. While two datasets have been removed, the AO3 one was only disabled on HuggingFace. This means that it’s not downloadable at the moment but still visible. It may also return if takedown efforts end up being challenged/reversed by that user.

Key Details

Scope: On AO3, all content with work IDs between 1 and 63,200,000 has been targeted. The work ID is the number at the end of a work's URL — for example, in https://archiveofourown.org/works/12345678, 12345678 is the work ID. You can find it by simply opening the work and checking the URL in your browser’s address bar. So, if your work falls in that range and is publicly accessible (i.e., not locked and open to everyone, including guests), it’s mostly likely included in the dataset. This dataset is currently disabled on HuggingFace, but that doesn't mean it's gone. It's only a temporary takedown as of now.

Takedown notices have been issued, but this user has also uploaded the dataset to other sites after backlash and partial removal.

There are talks in the discussion forums of potentially moving this dataset to Telegram, torrents, and/or other private channels.

HuggingFace AO3 dataset page

Other distributed sites listed here (as per a Reddit comment)

Currently deleted from ModelScope

What can you do?

Should the dataset return again and you see that your work was affected: file your own DMCA or copyright takedown notice. The uploader, in their own words, "has not agreed to take down the entire repo. At this time, the scraper has agreed with taking down art from the person who owns the copyright. That means each of you will need to request a takedown."

Instructions and a sample CSV template to list your work IDs for removal are provided in this guide. You can find more details in this announcement by PaperDemon.

Lock your works! It would limit visibility to registered users only, and is a very good step to prevent scraping or unauthorized use. To lock all your works on AO3, go to “My Works,” click “Edit Works,” and select all. Then click “Edit” and check the box labeled “Only show to registered users.” Scroll down and click “Update All Works” to apply the change.

⚠️ | Final Notes:

This user has so far shown no signs of stopping and is continuing to redistribute the data across multiple sites, even after numerous takedown requests (read more here). So, we can only recommend to be cautious and beware, lock your works, feel free to make use of takedown notices if you're unfortunately affected, and spread the word to fellow creators.

Follow up on this and get the latest updated in the Fanfic Communities Network (FCN) Discord Server!

If you have more information regarding this - e.g. if works from other sites are affected too - please reach out to us in the FCN!!

Edit (2025-04-26):

The user who has scraped the works has, upon request by another person, posted a way to convert ao3 json to markdown:

https://gist.github.com/nyuuzyou/b2f83669ad80a22e435728245ebcdf9f

This shows us that nyuuzyou continues to show no signs of taking down the scraped works.

Edit (2025-04-28):

A user warned that even archive-locked AO3 fics were included in a scraped dataset (most likely taken while the scraper was logged in, before they were banned or switched to public-only access). Some public works were missed as well:

Edit (2025-05-03):

Hey everybody, this is a bit late, but the AO3 dataset has been permanently removed from HuggingFace: https://huggingface.co/datasets/nyuuzyou/archiveofourown. While this unfortunately doesn’t prevent it from being shared elsewhere (like torrents) nor does it guarantee any deletion of past downloads and whatnot, having it taken down from a major platform like HF is still a significant step forward. (There is more info about other sites on PaperDemon.)

So please don’t be disheartened—every action counts, and this shows that pushing back and filing DMCAs and copyright notices as appropriate does make a difference. We’ll certainly keep an eye out for more info and post updates here, but thank you again to everyone who helped report, spread the word, or supported the effort. Keep reading, keep writing. ♥️

hi!! i was wondering if there’s any way to edit the clan symbol. my current save was made before the symbol update (which is awesome btw) and the generated symbol isn’t the one i would’ve chosen for my clan :( is there a way to change this in the games files? couldn’t find any info in the master posts or even while looking through the files themselves.

PS: loving the game more and more with every update :3 <3

There is! Here's a guide from the lovely Snapshot <3

☆ Fable ☆

How to change your Clan's symbol: A note: If you're playing on an old save, you need to open your game and save first. If you don't, the symbols line will not be in the json.

Open your data directory through the game's settings, or search %localappdata% in your file explorer. From there, open the folders 'ClanGen' and then 'saves.'

Open your Clan's json (will say something like, for example, LizardClan)

Find the line that says "clan_symbol" and change the symbol to what you'd like! For other clan symbols, it'll be closer to the bottom, "other_clan_chosen_symbol"

Also, as always, make sure your game is closed, or these won't work!
