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.

I'm so glad to see AO3 making it absolutely clear that none of these things are allowed to even be HINTED at.

Here's some of the language from the new post about AO3's police on commercial promotion:

-

There is a wide variety of things that are not allowed under AO3's non-commercialization rules.

Any other language which one might interpret as requesting or having requested financial contributions, whether for yourself or others. This covers indirect references, euphemisms, or other language intended to get around the TOS. Some examples of this include:

Thanks for the coffee!

My ☕ username is the same as my username here

This chapter is brought to you by my patrons

You know where to find me if you want early or bonus chapters

Check out my Twitter to learn how you can donate to me since I'm not allowed to discuss it here

Solicitation is not allowed, whether it's for yourself or on behalf of someone else.

As someone in a discord I'm in lost access to their Google Doc, a reminder to all writers that:

Google does not allow adult content on/in Drive and will lock the item OR even lock your whole account. DO NOT use Google Drive/Docs to share smut you are writing.

For nsfw stuff, or, hell, with Google AI all of your writing, maybe I suggest https://write.ellipsus.com.

What a Catch, Donnie [acoustic] cover

it is done! still need to improve the embellishments, timing and chord buzzing but that’ll get done in due course. singing is a bit rough, i forgot to warm up (and am in no way a good singer lol). might try learning it in drop D like intended when i can afford another guitar to keep in said key XD

credit to: Jesse Justo on YouTube for their cover of “Watch a Catch, Donnie” which helped me work out some of the trickier chords <3

growing up is realising you don’t hate yourself, you just hate how you’ve carved yourself apart for others who should have been supporting you instead of making you insecure

I understand the argument that while transformative and derivative works have always existed, "fanfiction" as a medium is inherently connected to the concept of IP law and thus is a specifically contemporary art/craft movement, I get it I really do, but also twenty years after the canterbury tales were finished an english monk wrote his own additional chapter and added himself as a character, and I'm sorry but that man should have been on wattpad
