Fucking drama queen, I guess

Yo creo que para escribir hay que tener fe y me parece que Rothfuss la perdió en algún momento del camino. Quizás creía que la literatura volvía a la gente más empática y generosa y buena parte de sus lectores le demostraron, con su acoso, que no era así. Conmigo se portó tan bien… Me felicitó justo antes de Navidad, el 17 de diciembre de 2012, con mi novela debut a punto de ser publicada. En esos momentos estaba recaudando fondos para la campaña de su ONG Worldbuilders y ofrecía lecturas de manuscritos a autores emergentes. Rothfuss es mi escritor vivo favorito y representa todo lo que uno debería ser. Me he impreso el correo que me envío y me lo he puesto en la pared como recordatorio de aquel gesto tan bonito

Just reminding you about what happened recently and everyone conveniently forgot, when AI fics became so popular that they almost landed book deals. It was never about you or the quality of your writing, dear writers, so don’t pay any attention to that shit.
in truth, the bitterness of a lot of these writers and their anti-reader attitude comes down to something different altogether: "why isn't my fic as popular as *that* fic? why isn't my writing as popular as *their* writing?" problem is, the readers aren't at fault.

In the current discussion, the saddest thing for me isn’t the readers’ attitude, but the fact that some writers are trying to please the crowd and make themselves look better—something I haven’t seen in the book world, unlike in fanfiction. Writers always support one another,

So. Anthropic stole my books. Then it got caught. It didn't say sorry. It was ordered to pay for what it stole. Then it said, well, the writers have to tell us what we stole. – at McKenna, WA

To be honest, I don't even know whether to laugh or cry over the fact that my most beloved work, into which I poured nearly two years of tears, sweat, and hard work, was slapped with a 19-buck price tag just like that. It's so disgusting that I just want to wash myself
In light of recent ao3 related events, I have stumbled upon a website that I think authors need to be made aware of.  The website ao3 [DOT] life has been scraping and downloading fics published to ao3 for who knows how long. 🧵

All my fics are there, and I'm not even a popular author. I knew it wouldn't stop at public google drives.

Authors: We don't like our works being shared without consent, please remove it. Readers: We don't give a shit. You don't own anything. Hope you delete your AO3 accounts. Authors: reporting Readers... Word of the Day - Dictim. Being a dick and then acting like a victim about it

好,我知道可能很多人不喜歡,但我還是要說說關於「ao3爭議事件」的看法 首先我發現很多人搞混一個概念:同人創作(fanfic)有兩層著作權。

So, in light of recent discussions, readers expect that: 1. The fanfic writer will improve their skills. 2. Once the writer has improved their skills and posted their work, they shouldn’t expect anything positive, and the work doesn’t belong to them. Don’t ask where the logic is.

If your husband doesn't do this for you when you're down for maintenance, that's not love.
tumblr takes ao3 being down so seriously. these are all trending tags on the app right now

It's funny that yesterday I was reading olrufrey fic where there was yearning in the first chapter, and in the next one - which I was planning to read today - they were supposed to be together. This is going to be the longest slowburn of my life.😆😆😆
We estimate that service restoration for #AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks. We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner. Refer to our status page for updates: otwstatus.org/

Actually, this is good. People who’s like “I use ao3 every day but I’d NEVER donate” and “authors SHOULD—” or “I don’t read WIPs and I don’t comment or leave kudos”, etc etc etc, can use this time from reflection Anyway, thank you ao3 volunteers, you are awesome

How's it going, fanfic critics? Could you live like this every day?
