"I write for my own enjoyment"

And

"I'm happy when people interact with my writing"

Are two sentences that can coexist!

me trying to get someone interested in my book like

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.

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

"ai can do this" "ai can do that" yeah yeah but can ai organize several thousand pins on pinterest based on vibes, fandoms, and things that make me, specifically, laugh?

sometimes writing is silly and happy and fun! and sometimes it's just begging the world for a drop of love with tears in your eyes and blood on your hands. you know. either one.

writing about side characters doing things that have never and will never influence the story: easy! fun! exciting!

writing the actual story and the main characters: oh help not againnnnn hnghhhhh don't make me i don't want to
