Yet another AO3 bot situation - please spread the word!

Hi, it's me again, the person who wrote that viral post about fanfiction plagiarism! Today I'm here to warn you about abuse perpetrated by bots who have stolen AO3 usernames.

There's currently an epidemic of bots going around leaving (apparently random) horrible, hateful comments on people's fics. This isn't the first time bots have invaded AO3, but the big problem with this wave is that they're using real AO3 usernames to do it.

I learned about this when another writer contacted me after receiving the following comment on their story:

Now, while that is my username, I DEFINITELY did not leave this comment (and anyone who would leave something like that on a fic should be slapped! What an awful thing to post). This fic is in a completely unrelated fandom that I have never participated in, nor has that author participated in any of my fandoms, so the probability of it being some intentional fandom drama thing to make me look bad is also low.

The writer whose fic the comment was left on enlisted the aid of some friends and tracked down other guest comments with unrelated usernames attached, which is pretty strong evidence that they are being left by bots at random.

The TL;DR: If you receive a cruel comment from a (Guest) with an actual AO3 username attached, it's most likely from a bot. Please do not lash out at or dogpile the AO3 user who owns that name, and who in all likelihood has no idea that their name has been hijacked for evil.

If finding this kind of comment on a fic, even left by a bot, is likely to upset you, I would recommend changing your comment settings so that only users who are logged in can leave comments. To do this, edit your story settings, and under "Privacy," select the radio button that says "Only registered users can comment," as shown below.

Please spread the word to other AO3 users! And if you see mean guest comments on other fics, maybe let the author know that it's probably from a bot and not a real person who thinks their writing is bad.

I came up with a silly AU where certains events lead to Heatwave defeating Optimus and taking over the Decepticons

Certain things happened and he no longer trusted Optimus. Megatron (for some reason??) thought that he can use him as a weapon, which didn't end well for him.

Heatwave's new name is "Calamitas"

Okay: actual ages of the jasper trio canonically.

So we know that rid2015 takes place three-four years after prime, thanks to Rescue Bots. At the end of prime, Raf was 12, Miko was 15, and Jack was 16.

Raf would 14 - 15.

Miko would be 17-18

Jack would 19-20.

Im not saying you have to follow this in fics or anything, I just don't know if anyone really Calculated that.

barty tries to help but he doesn't consider the woes of technology and regulus' dry personality.

good thing james might want regulus just as much.

Hiiii! Been having kind of baby fever lately soo maybe Jean's wife giving birth 😻

Goodnight/Day<333

omg yes you're fueling MY baby fever.

this is more drabble than fic !

・❥・・❥・・❥・・❥・・❥・・❥・

jean was SOOOOO happy when you told him you were pregnant, he instantly started researching every single thing that had to do with being a parent/father.

he started researching unique baby names and making lists of his favorites.

when you found out you were having a boy, he was even more excited. he of course would be a GREAT girl dad, but he had always wanted a son.

you were due late april, and it was currently april 15th.

the previous week you had celebrated jean's birthday, april 7th. he was also super excited to have his sons birthday so close to his own.

the both of you were sitting on your shared couch when you had your first contraction, you brushed it off until the next one hit SHORTLY after.

you told jean and he immediately shot up from the couch to get everything ready. he had a bag ready to go (the bag has been ready since february) and helped you to the car.

as soon as you arrived to the hospital, they put you in a room as your contractions were closer together.

labor started soon after that.

jean was by your side the entire time, holding your hand, squeezing it. he repeated words of encouragement, telling you how good you were doing.

he was the best person to have by your side.

your baby boy was born 2 hours into labor, not terribly long but not at all short.

you and jean hadn't decided on a name until he was born, you didn't know what would fit your newborn.

after the doctors did what they needed to do, they handed you him.

jean was crying, you were crying.

"marco" you said

earning a shocked "what?" from jean

"his name is marco" you told him

"it's perfect."

yours and jeans son, marco jake kirstein (mj for short), was born april 15th at 6:30 pm.

jean was the best father you and your son could have asked for.

you and your little family were perfect.

I wont post about this too much but I've been buying the transformers ar cards because I can't help myself, I've bought 4 or 5 and here's some cards I liked

Although I probably won't be playing the game, my strongest is "Scourge" But I'm pretty sure that's Nemisis?? Drift is my second strongest, it says he's a Decepticon and also way stronger then Megatron in his alt mode lmao

[letmetellyouaboutmyfeels]

My visibility settings are still off and the bots still came back yesterday. I spent all yesterday on them, deleting at least 500, and woke up to over 300 more. Gonna be honest this is the worst thing possible for my OCD and it is taking literally everything in me not to nuke this blog to make this stop.

college bf! armin

armin was the sweetest guy you could ask for, you had started dating at the beginning of your sophomore year of college. Currently you are seniors, no matter how difficult your classes got armin was always there for you. You shared a small off campus house with him, but it was perfect for the two of you. Both of you were laying in bed until, armin's alarm starts ringing
