writer friends, i know you might want to contact the site owners to take down your fics but please be wary. they’re not affiliated with ao3/otw at all & have no way to actually verify your email to remove your work from their site; they could be using it to gather your email info
can't find the tweet now but guys pls don't contact those ao3.life guys with the email of your ao3 account. they are not affiliated with ao3 so they have no businees knowing what email is even attached to your accounts. it makes no sense

This site is hosted by Namecheap, and you can contact their domain host with complaints at [email protected]
Every single work that has been reposted to this site without the express permission of the original fanfic authors is a violation of copyright

there’s been a lot of discourse over wether is it’s right or wrong for people to publicly share fanfics while ao3 is down, but i think this is crossing the line. this website makes an actual PROFIT off of authors’ works (you have to pay to listen to the audiobooks of the fics). +

我无条件支持同人作者的原因很简单,因为我写不出来!我看完一部喜欢的作品大头小头都高热爆炸,我急得团团转但我写不出来,这时有人免费写出来没有任何的条件就给我看,我当然尊重她!她甚至不要求金钱报酬,读者动动嘴皮子夸两句或者沉默点个赞就能收获作者的感激,这种你好我也好的事情为啥不做?!

they are using AI-generated audio for our works without consent and making a profit off of them. I have never had a problem sharing mine for free, and would even be happy to do free podfics, but someone else profiting off of AI generated content of my work? Fuck right off.

not gonna say anymore on this but when ao3 comes back up you bet your ass I'm gonna be leaving comments on every fic I read for every shitty opinion I saw over this weekend because I have free will and i certainly don't want to run the writers in my fandom out!

just saw this AO3 Blackout Comment Challenge posted on tumblr and it sounds fun!! it's got a nice template for keeping track of reading and future comments to leave when ao3 is back up 💜

Replying to @7erracotta
Contact the domain host instead, you don't have to use your AO3 email, only provide proof of your ownership of the content and include all the offending links in one email.

I'm not going to even bother emailing those fuckers from ao3 dot life to take my fic nor waste time making a burner email account. I don't trust for a second they will honour the request. That entire website needs to be taken down
Em || hand_ler retweeted
I have no desire to have any of your emails. In fact, I'd prefer we don't have to speak again (no offence). As I have stated, please use a burner when contacting the site administrator. If you don't wish to contact them, hopefully OTW and our collective rage gets the site removed

dude some asshole already vibecoded an ao3 clone with stolen fics and paid ai audiobooks. and i can tell by how they wrote the faq that they are NOT gonna respect takedowns. its so over
When there’s people that do this, you wonder why authors are asking for their work not to be reuploaded to public drives.
I’m definitely going to email them to remove my work, hopefully I don’t have to jump through 284792 hoops
Em || hand_ler retweeted
Please check this website. All of my work and of my fellow writer friends was scrapped. Please don’t remove your work the way they suggest it and doxx yourselves. Follow the AO3 guidelines and be safe.
This is what we meant when we were asking fair our work not to be reuploaded
Em || hand_ler retweeted
Writers friends, do not under any circumstances give these vibe coding thrives the email attached to your account.
