Lockdown 2023

Dear Readers,

I’m sorry to say but I’ve just had to put everything on AO3 locked to signed in users only. I apologize in advance for the inconvenience it causes.

Why am I doing this?

Well, someone decided to copy and paste pages and pages of my work and then take another person’s work and copy and paste pages of their story, change a few names here and there, add maybe a couple of sentences, steal more sentences from a third person and well….

They said to a friend who pointed out that this was wrong that it was their right to do so because it was transformative and fanfiction is inherently plagiarism anyway, so it was alright for them to use my work as well as the other two writers.

They didn’t ask me if they could borrow my words.

They didn’t credit me.

They are matching up my version/headcanon of a character with someone that’s pretty much a NOTP for me at the worst of times and a dull side character with a weird romance option at their best. I don’t go here but everyone else is more than welcome to, just leave me out of it.

One of the other writers they took from is also a dear friend. They feel terrible that they tried to be friendly and welcoming someone to a small, niche fandom where a lot of us writers all vaguely know the others either through friends or friends of friends. Their welcome was taken advantage of and that really is almost worse than having my words taken without my permission.

I get that fandom has become more permissive of things like AI and assistive writing tools. I understand that all of us are in the process of becoming better writers through our writing—but I don’t stand for taking someone else’s words, copying them into a new document and then calling them your own, not giving credit or not bothering to link to the source. To me that is plagiarism. It’s not writing your own fic. It’s not transforming it into something better.

So, I’m putting my writing in the AO3 equivalent of tamper proof packaging. My words have already been stolen and it wasn’t even by something like an AI bot. This doesn’t feel like winning to do this—it feels almost antithetical. I’ve always had a policy that if you want to leave a critique or something negative you need to have your username attached but now I’m saying you can’t read it unless you’re signed in… which yeah.

This isn’t me winning. This is me trying to protect what’s left. I suspect it’s also useless to do so, but it’s the only option I feel I have.

I apologize to those that can’t access my works anymore. Please sign up for a free AO3 account—it’s worth it for more than just my writing. You can subscribe to authors/works in progress and make bookmarks—great benefits in my opinion.

Thank you for your time and for reading this,

Satashii aka satashiiwrites, 26th of May, 2023

“THE REDHEAD IS BACK ON KICKSTARTER KILLING STRETCH GOALS LEFT AND RIGHT!”

Fan-favorite series is back on Kickstarter reaching its initial goal in less than 12 hours! Now on its final days and a few stretch goals down the line, The Few and Cursed #3 is poising to be the series biggest hit yet!

The Few and Cursed is a supernatural post-apocalyptic western featuring a badass Redhead as a Curse Chaser roaming a world where water is scarce enough she can cross the Pacific Ocean on horseback. The first arc, The Crows of Mana’Olana, is a six-part mini-series that pits the Redhead against the Crows in the title.

Created by writer Felipe Cagno and artist Fabiano Neves, the indie series is already on issue #3 after two very successful campaigns on Kickstarter that saw them hit numerous Stretch Goals and give away to backers perks like ashcan editions of the comics, a set of collectible cards and fridge magnets.

#gallery-0-4 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-4 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Issue #3 is no different: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/174083906/the-few-and-cursed-3?ref=1zpmzn

They have unlocked all of the above again and brought in some real talent to join the comic like artists Ryan Ottley, Yanick Paquette and Mirka Andolfo. They are now going after their last Stretch Goal but the clock is ticking as the campaign is over this Friday at 11:59pm EST.

If you are new to the series, this is the perfect time to visit their Kickstarter page. Backers that choose to get all three issues of the series in print (tiers $42 or $114) will also get all the perks unlocked in previous Kickstarters::

– The first TWO crow fridge magnets from previous campaigns

– Set of two “Gold Signature” cards we unlocked last year by Harvey Tolibao & Israel Silva and Lucas Leibholz

– Ashcan editions of issues #1 and #2

If you enjoy westerns, supernatural or a good ol’ adventure then this is the book for you. It’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets the Old West. You can’t go wrong.

Hit their Kickstarter page before the time is up: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/174083906/the-few-and-cursed-3?ref=1zpmzn

KICKSTARTER ALERT: Few and Cursed #3 "THE REDHEAD IS BACK ON KICKSTARTER KILLING STRETCH GOALS LEFT AND RIGHT!" Fan-favorite series is back on Kickstarter reaching its initial goal in less than 12 hours!
