You should get an AO3 account

With the rise of AI and the well known epidemic of AI companies scraping Ao3 for training data most authors on Ao3 have locked down their fics to logged in users only. This is unfortunate for authors and readers. As an author I've noticed a steep drop in readership on fics restricted to logged in users and when recommending fics to my friends I've noticed that the folks without an account can't find the fics. The logged in users only toggle, not only keeps people without an account from reading a fic, but also from seeing its listing at all. More than 50% of fics I come across have this setting turned on. So, you should get an AO3 account. I know this seems daunting and unfair because it's an invite only system but, you can invite yourself through the homepage if you don't already have one, and in the past few years I've never heard of someone who requested an invitation through this method, not getting one. And for those of you who are hesitant because you don't write, that's okay. It's not weird at all to click on a commenter username and find that they have 0 works and 10,000 bookmarks. It might take a week for the invitation to actually show up, but I can almost guarantee you will get one, just keep an eye on your email. It's free to join and donations are optional. You'll have more to read if you have an account and maybe give your favorite author the chance to protect their work from AI without a loss of readership and feedback.

Yeah you're right. It WOULD be pretty fucked up if you were a swan but you were raised by ducks and you grew up never seeing another swan or even knowing that such a thing as a swan even existed so you just thought you were a duck with something super wrong with it.

Real. Unbeatable had its first trailer in 2018 and is coming out this year, that's eight years. Disco Elysium took five years for its fully voice acted "final cut" release. Pizza tower took five years. Psychonauts 2 took six years and had to be saved by a Microsoft buyout. Of the Devil posted its first devlog in 2022 and only got chapter 1 out this year. Deltarune chapter 1 came out in 2018 and it only got the 4th of its seven chapters this year. The development time on Silksong is, frankly, exceedingly average.

Fandom genuinely went wrong when people started imagining a divide between fandom creators and everyone else.

As a fandom creator I am not here to serve you or to "create content" for you, or to make the things that you want to see.

I create fandom works for myself, and they are graciously shared with you. If you don't want to enjoy them, that's fine, but you don't get to demand that I make something else.

You don't get to show up at my dinner table unexpected and start demanding I cook you the meal you personally want to eat.
