Because fanfic exists in a gray area it’s actually very easy to remove them if they attract the wrong attention
That is why it used to be that ffs used to be enjoyed and recommended with secrecy, whereas now it’s so mainstream we’re having problems we’ve never had before

a person with the nickname "leviathan" being behind the downfall of epub on ao3 is really fitting

are you all being intentionally dense?
artists have their art archived all the time.
pinterest/rule34/image boards/ etc
and its common for these sites to be linked around if the artists dips.
the reason why "reposts to personal accounts are looked down on" is because its for profit.
they are reposting art as free engagement and money
if someone posts your fic for engagement and money then sure! go at it.
its such a bullshit excuse because how would the drives even HAVE unpublished drafts of chapters.
i looked. it has my fics there. i guarantee you that outside of stranger things, fucking NO ONE is grabbing the obscure fandoms i have to offer and shoving them in a drive.
pointing fingers at actual readers who love your work and give a fuck about its preservation and integrity is short-sighted at best and downright naive at worst. there ARE bad actors that don't give a fuck about you or the fact that fan culture exists for free

I can’t believe you’re falling for these excuses and spreading misinformation

It's absolutely crazy that they think telling an LLM "You will travel the internet, searching far and wide, every drive and obscure board, for the fanfic that hides inside" is easier than just pointing it at AO3 and saying "hey, download absolutely everything."
I'm gonna be so real seeing some people talk about fan artists and fanfic writers like we're fucking enemies is making me fucking insane.
Equally so when they act like there's some special artist privilege.

imo the only way for fandoms to be about actually enjoyable community again is 1) people to stop seeing “readers” and “writers” as two inherently separate categories, and 2) everyone to get a lot kinder RIGHT NOW (yes, even when they disagree)

It's kinda crazy how all the evidence seems to point to ao3 being taken down by a data scraping phishing scam, but fandom circles seem more concerned about people uploading epub files of their fics to their personal google drives and whether or not they're getting enough kudos.

я правильно понимаю, что как только ао3 закрываются на техобслуживание предположительно из-за утечки данных, то мгновенно возникает 5-6 клонов скопированных явно не с личных архивов и с уже зарегистрированными именами доменов?

this is why i correctly assumed ganesh is definitely not a lone 17yo who wanted to "experiment"

I don’t believe this story at all…there is no possible way for one person to do this in 4 days by accessing Google drives. All of my podfics were on there. Like, the text version AO3 work that just listed the link on how to access the MP3’s. No one is saving a PDF/EPUB of that

i've already seen people blaming those who shared their personal files for god's sake man let's use our brains to think more than once a minute because this guy is clearly lying about where he got all this 15M fics and drafts
Replying to @PogoNR
no like they literally are trying to redirect this back onto the fandom community archivists who had backups of AO3 stuff. and it's working.
