THIS IS NOT REAL. If you get this comment, they’re just trying to get you to delete your fic.

1) I would have gotten some kind of email from Ao3 if this was true

2) this comment is formatted to be perfect to tack onto any fic they choose

3) ALSO why on earth would Ao3 get rid of entire fandoms off the site? Even if they WERE inactive? Who knows if others will be ‘late’ to the fandom and want some fic to read. Who knows if someone wants to come back to their 6 year old account only to find most of their fics deleted.

I’m lucky to be a reasonable adult who has seen tricks like these who also had a very kind person comment their own doubts.

Please let your Ao3 friends know <3

Just got told I should be "advertising" and "promoting" my fics????? Friend, you don't find my fics, my fics find you. Fanfic distribution system. I shan't interfere with the will of the fanfic gods.

"You talk about being disabled all the time. It's too much."

You see, the thing about that is I'm disabled all the time.

[samuel-m-walker]

Always thought if I was a girl, I'd be named Ada like Ada Lovelace (I love her) until my friend pointed out that my disabled ass would be named ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)

So who's gonna write a fic about Bruce from Selina's point of view inspired by Sabrina Carpenter's "manchild"???

If you can say NBA, you can say LGBT

If you can order a BLT, you can say LGBT

If you can sing the alphabet song, you can say LGBT

If you can say AC/DC, you can say LGBT

If you can say F150, you can say LGBT

It's not "difficult" or "complicated”. It's time to be an adult and either put the work in to say it right or admit that you're homophobic

just a heads up to my fellow writers out there that AO3 is currently fighting off bots commenting on people’s works to tell them that AO3 will delete their fics “due to the works being deprecated”, and the deletion will affect their accounts unless the authors delete the fics themselves first. IT IS A SCAM. AO3 will NOT delete your works. please do NOT fall for these bots!

I’ve been told the reason why these bots are doing this is due to copyright infringement issue where they’re trying to steal your works (possibly to train AI but this is just a guess) ‼️‼️‼️and once you deleted your fics, it will be either very difficult or impossible for you to claim ownership of your own fics when they were already deleted.‼️‼️‼️

a reminder that AO3 will never contact you through your comments section (in case they claim to be one of the moderators). AO3 will only contact you through your email address which you use to register your account, and it will be from AO3’s official handle. not some sketchy ass @

so if you get a comment telling you you should “delete your works to protect your account because AO3 is doing blah blah blah” report that comment. don’t delete your works.

PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THESE SCAM.

AO3 IS NOT DELETING WORKS.

DO NOT DELETE YOUR WORKS JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE CLAIMS THEY KNOW SOMETHING.

I subscribe to the belief that the "B" in Bruce stands for bastard and the "B" in Batman stands for bitch. I do not take constructive criticism.

Happy pride month specifically to aroaces whose first feelings of validation were from JaidenAnimations

If I was given three wishes I wouldn't tell anyone but there would be signs...

(anyone who says there's a "worst" Robin dies instantly)

So sorry to show up at your house this late with a baseball bat but I heard you dumbed down my boy Dick Grayson into a hypersexualized comic relief so I'm here for your fucking kneecaps

I couldn’t tell who was more confused—Joe Hills being suddenly confronted by the reality of several thousand meowing tangoraiders; or several thousand meowing tangoraiders being suddenly confronted by the reality of Joe Hills

"they're not a bad person, they're just a bad parent"

hot take, but I think being a bad parent makes you a bad person...

[samuel-m-walker]

Cannot BELIEVE no one is writing exactly what I want to read, exactly the way I want it written and posting it all at once exactly where I can find it??? Am I asking too much?

[samuel-m-walker]

I don't normally complain about it when I unfollow someone, but if you're gonna fucking be pro using genAI to finish abandoned fanfic then I am not sticking around.
