I’m so sorry! It sucks that there’s not much we can do beyond making our works private :/

I can’t believe my work was scraped… I’m speechless right now

Just as a heads up for anyone who posts fanfic on AO3, there was a HUGE AI scrap that took place recently. The link to the Tumblr with the information and the search tool is attached, so please check your work. FUCK AI! AI IS THEFT!

#ao3 #fanfiction #fuckai

Screenshot of a Tweet about the AI scrap on AO3 that reads "This is insane, apparently ao3 suffered a huge data extraction, tons of fics, to use it to train ai, to make it better at writing fics😭ao3 fought back and it seems the extraction “stopped” but there’s a tool that allows you to check of your fics were stolen and 3 of mine were😭" There are two screenshots attached to it of a Tumblr post and the results of the search tool.

Screenshot of a Tumblr post about a tool that allows people to search if their AO3 fics were scrapped that reads "Alright! Sorry for being so absent today! I was building a tool so you can all check your own names on demand.

I am asking that you not talk about it on Hugging Face. I'm sure word will get there eventually, but I'd like to avoid them accessing this as much as possible. Feel absolutely free to spread around Tumblr.

AO3 search tool is here! Use page 1 to search scraped fics by username. Use page 2 to search by work ID (which you'll need to do if you're looking for an anonymous work).
Or you can use this version, which is strongly recommended if you've published more than about 20 fics on the username you're searching."

Screenshot of the search tool searching for the username "WriterInWhite" and all the fics that came up as being confirmed to be scrapped by AI.

You want repressed teenage lwj? You want a modern with magic AU in a niche setting? You want BONES?

A drawing in the style of a movie poster : in the background is the upper half of teenage lwj’s face. In the mid/foreground is a torso up rendition of wwx in a fencing jacket drinking a beer, one hand behind his back and holding a rapier. The title, tongues, is in white and red across the middle.

Please support the queer Ohio journalists documenting the abhorrent attacks on queer and trans people in the state. They're experiencing this madness firsthand and then going to work to report on it.

Ohio’s proposed drag ban is back; Republicans rebrand it the ‘Indecent Exposure Modernization Act.’

Under HB 249, drag performers could face felony charges if a juvenile attends an ‘obscene’ performance.

I've been thinking #wangxian lately (but like, what's new?), particularly a modern au storyline where lwj falls in love with wwx during a brief exchange semester in high school and then watches from afar as wwx becomes an idol and China's sweetheart. He doesn't become fanatical, but he supports

If you’ve seen a Christian bemoaning the “sin of empathy” or Elon Musk talking about “suicidal empathy” and wondered what that was about, I have an essay for you

tldr version is that they are wrong but I think that the details etc are pretty interesting and scary and speak to our fascist moment

Loathe thy neighbor: Elon Musk and the Christian right are waging war on empathy

Trump’s actions are irreconcilable with Christian compassion. But an unholy alliance seeks to cast empathy as a parasitic plague

It's wrong to send Americans to an overseas megaprison. It's wrong to send non-Americans to an oversea megaprison. It's wrong whether they committed a crime or not. It's wrong whether they have been sentenced for a crime or not. Cruel and unusual punishment is wrong. Concentration camps are wrong.
