Like many other writers, I made the decision to lock my fanfics on ao3 today so that, from this day on, only registered users will be able to find/read my work on the website.

I put a lot of time, thought and love into my writing. Writing is one of the few things that bring me joy in life; it’s something that makes me feel human and connected to others, friends, who share my passion and who see beauty and solace in the tiny pieces of me that inevitably live between the lines of my writing. Knowing that people take these pieces and use them to train AI models—maliciously or not—makes me feel violated and angry. I have as much respect for people like that as they have for writers/artists and their work and sincerely hope they have the day deserve.

I don’t know how and if I’ll continue sharing future writing at this point; I’m just asking anybody who’s enjoying artistic work, within fandom or otherwise, to remember that generative AI is inherently plagiarism; slob imitating soul; an antithesis of art. AI will not make fanwork more ‘accessible’ to some, but ultimately exclusive to a selected trusted few, which will kill public fan spaces and its community.

@tragedybunny beautiful Sera with her love, Astarion.

I struggled, but I am pleased!!! Hardest lighting I’ve done to date but I think I got at least some of it right.

Adore you, Bunny!

How To Lock All of Your Fics At Once On Ao3

Someone has probably already done this but

For anyone looking to lock their works for only registered users over on Ao3 in light of the sudowrites scraping thing here is how you can lock all of your fics at once.

Log into Ao3 and go to your Profile, Works or Dashboard

At the top under you’re user name there are four buttons pick Edit Works

Second row of buttons on the right chose All and then hit Edit

Scroll down past all of your works and then keeps scrolling until you find Visibility  change it to Only Show to Registered User

(If a fic is over the tag limit you have to edit those down to make edit to the work.)

Hit Update All Works at the very bottom and you are done all of you fics should now have a little blue lock next to your user name on each fic.
