If you're ashamed then change your behaviour, but stop asking me for absolution
I've felt for a while that the community aspect of fandom has been splintered but seeing how many people just want fic authors to shut up and write fic for them to passively consume without any communal reciprocity feels so so sad

heartbreaking: reader who doesn't contribute anything to the fandom threatens to stop reading an author's fics because they seriously believe that the lack of their passive interaction with fan content will "punish" said author

I’m still here. Genuinely I think if people said “hey since ao3 is down I’m compiling a drive/list/zip/WHATEVER, message me if you want to include your fic!” Authors would’ve been ECSTATIC, eager to join! But we live in an opt-out panopticon of scraping and intellectual theft…
Replying to @VieVieTuber
And I think my issue, the one thing I can’t look past, is that the entire situation adopted a corporate internet “opt out” mentality which I think is the antithesis of fandom. People shouldn’t have to “opt out” of being in these drives, everyone’s done this all backwards.

Have you considered respecting authors wishes and copyright law and waiting 2-4 weeks for ao3 to be restored what is wrong with you people? Our work is being stolen daily and you need marvel characters to fist each other so badly you're serving up entire catalogues for free.
fichub is no longer turning ao3 fics into epubs bc the writers went in there threatening to throw lawyers at the one (1) person running the site you can notttt make this shit up

What I've been TELLING you all btw. Public Docs & Ellipsus Links can EASILY be scrapped by AI web-crawlers !! Anything you share publically on the internet IS forever—dk if this is the whole truth, but it's enough for writers to be wary. PLEASE go change the settings on your apps
Hi, I know you're sick of hearing from me. I'm sick of hearing from me. This is important, so please stick with me. There has been some information added to the apology from "Ganesh". What I want to bring to everyone's attention is the source list 🧵/5

fic addicts who claim they loooove to read so much they can't go a few weeks without one site vs understanding analogies and “what if” scenarios

With AO3 now taking action against people stealing fics and reiterating that creators of fanwork DO own the right to their fic I really hope the people who died on the hill that it's ok to repost fics without consent can be honorable enough to admit their mistake and apologize 🙏
Update from the Ao3 subreddit regarding ao3(dot)life-

the unrestrained reuploading of fanworks ended right where I knew it would: a website explicitly feeding millions of fics to ai and charging for it.
In light of recent ao3 related events, I have stumbled upon a website that I think authors need to be made aware of.  The website ao3 [DOT] life has been scraping and downloading fics published to ao3 for who knows how long. 🧵

credit or not its still 100% fandom etiquette to get consent b4 ANY art reuploading. lol extremely telling that i have yet to see 1 person on this side of things come up with any argument beyond "dont wanna risk them saying no" which is, for obvious reasons, disgusting
That's what we've been saying. Like all the credit is there. If that's your issue then it's a non-issue. If you have a different issue, then say that.

In light of ao3.life and the ai audiobooks, i hope all of you sharing google drives realise that you are part of the problem here. The kid used the google drive fic collections as his source for the website. Others will probably do the same and not be kind about it

In case anyone, for whatever godforsaken reason, was actually considering PAYING for this, here’s what this “audiobook” sounds like🤮

ppl on bringing up the ao3 download button to make authors look stupid when in reality the overwhelming majority of writers are talking about uploading fics to the google drive without permission and i think it actually says a lot that you need to twist the narrative so much

The more i see those google drive archives the more uncomfortable i get with their concept, i hate it
Talked about this on tumblr a little bit, but im gonna say it here as well - people compiling what are essentially external archives to share fics during the ao3 down time makes me kind of uncomfortable. Sharing between friends or sending a fic to someone who directly asked
