thinking about my dead wife...

[matchtaco]

Hey,

I wasn’t even planning to vent about this here, since it’s not exactly about Charles and Max—but about Lestappen on AO3, and specifically, the fics I’ve written there. But after spending a whole damn week trying to brush it off, I just can’t. I’m tired, I’m annoyed, and honestly? This whole AI nonsense really got under my skin.

Apparently, a ridiculous number of my fics—including basically everything I’ve posted from If I Were Him and earlier—ended up in a massive list someone used to train a generative AI. (Check your own fics, sis—if your fic falls somewhere between number 1 and 63 million, I hate to say that bad news: you’re probably in that mess too.)

I don’t even know how copyright laws around AI work in the U.S., but it honestly feels like a slap in the face. All that time, emotion, effort—and now it’s just data for some random algorithm? Give me a break.

Anyway, sorry this is off-topic from Max and Charles—I just needed to let it out somewhere. On the brighter side, I did manage to finish a one-shot, and I think I’ll be posting it before the race this week. Gotta balance the rage with a little fluff, right? haha 🤠

Read here the news

Hello! Ao3 has been part of an unauthorized data scrape for GenAI purposes. If your fic has an ID number between 1 and 63200000, it may be a part of the data set and you can file a DMCA copyright infringement notice on the American sites it was uploaded to. Each of you will need to request a takedown.

Here’s a link to the information.

It is a reddit link, but it has the other links you’ll need in one place.

(Tagging with as many medias as I can remember so it gets to more fandoms)

The podium was sufficient motivation for me to publish Lestappen, so teah

[matchtaco]

I miss your lestappen fic so much🥹🥹 and your account too!

Ow, I never thought that someone would miss my fics lestappen or even my acc here

Last year it was terrible for me, and this year it started as bad (or even worse) but I promise to return, or at least publish an ABO Lestappen (If you want it, of course), it is strange that someone misses me, so I suppose a person is already worth returning, right? lol

Bel/matchtaco is back 💙

I'm back, with a sargebon and sad fic, but well, I needed to channel the sadness that I carry inside in some way because just talking about it no longer works for me

The things I did (just so I could call you mine) winterfvIconx

Summary:

Two pink lines.

That test was the fifth that Logan had taken in the last two days.

He no longer knew what other pregnancy test he needed, he already had a digital one that said in large black letters “pregnancy” with a green background, he already had two positive ones, the one indicating that he had been five weeks, and now he had the classic two stripes

This is the magic lucky word count. Reblog for creativity juice. It might even work, who knows.

[matchtaco]

I've been listening to too much Taylor Swift, I'm going to write an angsty Loscar fic right now, (and maybe with Lestappen, because... why not?)

[matchtaco]

Do you remember my idea of Indy Car Driver!Logan? okay I started writing a fic, long distance relationship, maybe Logan as a Haas driver (I'm thinking he still has possibilities there, let me), I just want to write a sad sargebon with the “I'm good to you”, I hope to finish this one, I still don't feel like publishing the previous one I wrote but whatever!!

[matchtaco]

this is literally everything i will think about for the rest of the month

[matchtaco]

if you’re ever about to comment on a writer’s work and think, oh, they probably know how good they are, you’re definitely wrong. every time a writer posts or publishes anything, no matter how many years they’ve been doing it and no matter how many readers they have, they are struck with the idea that perhaps they aren’t very good at all.

if you think you’re annoying for commenting, or that we won’t see your comments anyway, you’re wrong. we see your comments. we actively look for them. we are starved for them no matter how many we get. we remember them and they fuel us. leave comments, even if it’s just saying “oh i like this”. i see an “oh i like this” and my heart grows three times its size and i am seized with an urge to provide you more writing just to hear you say “oh i like this” again.

OH 💙♥️

IL PREDESTINATO VINCE IL GRAN PREMIO DI MONACO

cc: to whom it may concern, my friends from WPP and twt passed it on to me

[matchtaco]

okay I'm someone who channels her thoughts into writing, so I started writing an idea and who knows, maybe you'll see me in the "Alexander Albon/Logan Sargeant" with a tag "Indy car driver Logan Sargeant" on ao3 soon 🤠 (if I dare to upload it of course)

The team's result was P11, like the last time we racing the entire race with a single car (Brazil 2023, the accident that Haas caused Alex in the first lap and Logan was alone), the team finished ahead of Daniel Ricciardo, the two Saubers and one/two Alpine... like Logan in Jeddah.

And if you have been smart you saw that I never talked about Alex, because it was not his fault and he did everything he could, THIS WAS THE TEAM

I'm not covering the sun with a finger, I include the DNFs because in both Brazil and Australia there were two n' three abandonments that "somehow favored us" since they were cars that would most likely have finished in front (Charles n' George in Brazil/Max, Lewis n' George in Australia), in Saudi Arabia I personally think there would not be many changes without the DNFs (maybe Lance)
