AO3 has been scraped, once again.

As of the time of this post, AO3 has been scraped by yet another shady individual looking to make a quick buck off the backs of hardworking hobby writers. This Reddit post here has all the details and the most current information. In short, if your fic URL ends in a number between 1 and 63,200,000 (inclusive), AND is not archive locked, your fic has been scraped and added to this database.

I have been trying to hold off on archive locking my fics for as long as possible, and I've managed to get by unscathed up to now. Unfortunately, my luck has run out and I am archive locking all of my current and future stories. I'm sorry to my lovelies who read and comment without an account; I love you all. But I have to do what is best for me and my work. Thank you for your understanding.

“What if I write it and it’s bad-”

WHAT IF YOU WRITE IT AND ITS GOOD? WHAT IF YOU WRITE IT AND ITS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANTED? WHAT THEN????

God, I don't even know where to begin.

With all my fellow USAmericans and folks in the UK grappling with the devastating setbacks in LGBTQ+ rights, it is difficult to hold my childhood love for the HP fandom and its characters together with the active harm that JKR is continually doing to the the trans community.

In light of all this, part of me feels like the right thing to do would be to disengage from HP altogether.

Part of me feels like continuing to write fanfic is in itself an act of defiance, a refusal to allow JKR to retroactively dictate how her work must be interpreted or received, and to allow the fans to hold and claim the parts of her world that gave them reassurance and comfort, even if JKR herself has chosen to disavow the themes she wrote about.

Part of me feels like this blog is so divorced from my "real" life, and so relatively small in this random corner of the internet, that it's obscenely self-important to even imagine anyone needs to hear my (MY!?) take on this, that there are more educated and informed and personally affected people whose voices should be elevated. And that this post is in and of itself a form of performative activism designed to make me feel better about whatever role I'm playing here, however small.

Part of me feels like if even one person reads my stuff who is actively hurt/harmed/enraged/saddened by what is happening, as I am, that maybe one more voice will feel like support and solidarity, and it's worth offering anyway.

Part of me feels like an Accountant in The Good Place, trying to calculate the relative moral value of writing silly little escapist stories that bring people joy using characters and a world created by a bigoted, hateful person. I don't know which way the scale is tipping.

All of me feels sad. And tired. And so, so, so angry. It feels like everything good is crumbling around us. And maybe for that reason, if for nothing else, I'm going to keep on writing in this little corner of the internet, because it brings me a small amount of joy in a world where joy feels increasingly difficult to find. And because I hope the things I write give someone else a moment of reprieve from all of this, however brief.

If you choose to disengage from HP altogether, that feels so totally fair, and I understand if unfollowing me is the right choice for you. Sending love to all the people I've interacted with on this little escapist blog, and I hope you find your reprieve <3.

Fuck JKR. Fuck just about everything right now, but especially JKR.

You CANNOT separate art from the artist when the artist is still alive and producing new media to profit off.

So on that note, do NOT watch the new Harry Potter series. Do not hate watch it. Do not watch it because “it’s going to be my childhood remade”. I do not care. Do not watch it. This is a direct move to erase the original trio who have all stood against jkr.

Guys please talk about Palestinian prisoners’ day. It feels like everyone has gone full mask off and just stopped bringing attention to this entirely - but a lot of detainees you advocated for one year ago are still detained today. Still facing the same conditions of squalor & torture & being indefinitely separated from their loved ones. The stats on Palestinian detainees are still as bad as they’ve ever been. Please talk about it

suddenly my life without a drawn Sirius looking at me didn’t seem full enough.

imagine how it would be like sitting next to him;) My friend said it’s like you’d be fantasying some absolutely inappropriate things including him and then you’re turning to look at him and you see this ‘I know what you just thought about’ look at his face. And then you just can’t resist.
