What is Negative SEO?

Introduction Negative SEO is a malicious practice aimed at harming a website’s search engine rankings. Unlike traditional SEO, which focuses on improving a site’s visibility through ethical techniques, negative SEO involves black-hat tactics designed to lower a competitor’s rankings. This can result in loss of traffic, reduced credibility, and potential penalties from search engines. In this…

My fish army. I need you.

If you are a fanfiction author who posts to AO3. Your work has probably been scraped into these datasets.

Send them a copyright takedown notice if you think your work is in this. Escalate to a DMCA report if you need to: https://www.copyright.gov/512/sample-notice.pdf (and send it to: dmca@huggingface.co)

Make sure to grab all your work IDs from Ao3.

Restrict your work to the archive.

Glaze your art.

So many of us are affected. You aren't alone. Maybe together we can take down this theft.

AO3 DOES NOT HAVE ANY OFFICIAL APP OR DOWNLOADABLE PLATFORM.

AO3 DOES NOT AND WILL NEVER CHARGE YOU TO VIEW OR ACCESS ANY AO3 CONTENT.

AO3 IS NOT A PAY-TO-USE OR PAY-TO-VIEW APP.

LITERALLY ANY DOWNLOADABLE APP CLAIMING TO BE AO3 AND/OR HOSTING AO3 CONTENT BEHIND A PAYWALL IS NOTHING BUT MINED (STOLEN) CONTENT OFF OF AO3 THAT AN INDEPENDANT PERSON IS PROFITING OFF OF.

I've been seeing a lot about that AI company scraping ao3 for works and I know everyone has been filing DMCA take down claims for their work. The OTW has also filed on ao3 users behalf for the stolen works.

The good news is, that the data set has been temporarily taken down but the "creator" of it has filed a counter claim.

And after getting lost down a comment spital (which you can read here) its clear that the "creator" believes that they have a right to it since our works are based off of copyrighted content.

Their exact words in the thread linked were: "You do realise AO3 is a far more viable target for a DMCA than this dataset, right?"

As someone who knows a fair bit about copyright, this is so ignorant. If they bothered to do 5 minutes of googling then they'd see that when the materials are changed and non-profit then it is NOT a viable target.

To everyone who filed a claim and protected your works, keep it up!! People like this need to be shown that stealing from writers, artists and other creatives WILL NOT BE TAKEN LYING DOWN.

i really do love that creepypasta has new fans now and that its gotten somewhat of a revival but only those of u that have been locked in since like 2014 will ever truly understand

ttttttechnically speaking if i want to have/play as a bat there's also. sighs. Animal Jam.

Right. There's like basically nothing when it comes to fics for Sheldon in the big bang theory so I'm just going to start posting my thoughts to hopefully spark others into posting as well.

Keep in mind I've just properly started season 1 and I mostly watched the show before 2014 so I was younger than 10 years old

Currently swirling through my brain for translator!reader x sheldon cooper:

(for future reference: as a black fem presenting person who's mostly making this for themselves reader is black usually with locs but that's not really the focus rn)

Translator!reader who either is on contract to translate research papers or text books into English for caltech.

Translator!reader who has translated papers or books that Sheldon has copies of because he prefers their translations to others. He'll make sure to read anything they translate or had a hand in translating.

Translator!reader who is a fan of anime and manga and regularly goes to comic-con.

Translator!reader who is also a certified interpretor and assists foreign scientists when they are guest speakers at caltech.

Translator!reader who translates comic books.

No clue how this works in relation to the shows timeline but the mistranslation of Revenge of the Sith is something we talk about in my translation classes A LOT. I'm imagining a meet-cute involving comic book store, translator!reader and her friend joking about the mistranslation/explaining how the mistranslation was occured and Sheldon and Howard over hearing/joining the discussion.

This fandom isn't dead we just need to start creating our own content. We can't all be consumers.

[ofishal-fish-posts]

Not to get personal, but I'm actually going to cry maybe. I have over 200 works on Ao3. Over 100k words. And it's been stolen multiple times in the past few days.

I hate it here.
