*sigh* Apparently there's yet another website scraping fics from AO3 for AI, and as if this were not enough, it is also a phishing scam, asking for personal information when authors request their work to be taken off the site. AO3 (once again) have said there's nothing they can do.

I have resisted locking my fics for as long as I could, but every week there seems to be something else trying to scrape fanfics and feed them to AI and it's just surreal at this point. I know it's not a perfect solution but I'll be locking my fics and making them visible only to registered users for the forseeable future. Just a heads up!

#i'm just... tired!#very tired! of everyone wanting to make a quick buck off of stuff people share for fucking free #i keep being amazed but all the facets of this dystopia we're currently living in #i'll probably keep my currently updating fics open but it's a thin line lol. should probably lock those too soon #if you want to keep reading my stuff i suggest making an ao3 account
