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.

In addition to @idontknowreallywhy ‘s wonderful poll yesterday that showed that Thunderfam is still flying strong here on Tumblr and after I stumbled across a post about the timezone gap between Aussie and UK fans, I thought I would see the vastness that is Thunderfam across our beloved planet.

So, a poll. Vague, anonymous, and not seeking specific data, on purpose, but which region are you at?

I’m an Aussie, if anyone hasn’t worked out my accent yet 😁

Nutty

(At lunch, at work, one more day until holidays!)

Joined the TAG fandom properly in 2019 after finally watching the show, although I'm a '90s kid who grew up on the reruns of TOS. Didn't really do anything (outside of playing Thunderbirds! with some boys in the playground as a kid) fandom-esque about it until 2019 and the art and fic started, though...

Somebody commented that Thunderfam didn’t get many new members but it seems to me like we have a real blend of new and old here… so let’s see :)

Reblog and put the year you joined and how you got here in the tags if you’d like :)

ARTFIGHT ! because I just remembered I can share things woauagh <3

ArtFight is upon us again! (In 11 hours... but also once I get home from work so that timing works out well for me)

Team Fossils for me this year! No much by way of new characters up but for a summary of what I have:

So. Many. PJO Demigods

Including a "design me a demigod" option

An enby astrophysicist with an alt. version as a D&D 5e Half-Elf Wizard

A leshy and his leshy familiar from PF2e

An arrancar from Bleach

A crew of pirates (and one Marine) from One Piece

A dragon

An octopus

A gloomy puppetter sona

First plan of attack this year is a stupidly ambitious mass attack which is all planned out and I'm just waiting to be allowed to start drawing it...

Second half of the month will be dedicated to Revenges - I have revenged 100% of the attacks I've received over the past 8 ArtFights I've taken part in and don't intend on losing that streak!

If I have time between the Mass Attack and the Revenges, I'll be poking around to see who else is vulnerable to attack. I have my eye on some friends/mutuals ofc, but I'll keep an eye on followers that crop up to see if anything inspiring crops up there...

Happy Art Fight Folks

Maybe if people updated more we wouldn't turn to ai

You’re a pathetic, impatient loser. Fanfic writers owe you nothing, and their writing is their own, not yours to do with as you choose, you entitled brat.

are your eyes brown?

[tsarinatorment]

sorry but someone assuming you have "left a fandom" when you don't post about it a lot anymore feels like bilbo coming home to the sackville bagginses having him presumed dead and selling all his stuff. girl i was just on a little quest????

[tsarinatorment]

What a wonderful piece of media! Surely the fandom will be literate and normal

Whoever told you spam liking is bad on tumblr is a liar and should not be believed. Like away, and reblog if/when you feel ready to interact more!

If thunderbirds TikTokers see someone with a toothless pfp spam liking their posts I’m sorry I have been starved for content and found yalls accounts and I got too excited 🙏 I will refrain from spam liking cause ppl say spam liking is bad and doesn’t help accounts (one day I’ll be brave and comment trust 🤞) But you baddies keep posting it’s literally fricken awesome!
