Repost so everyone stays informed:
DO NOT email them
DO NOT sign up
DO NOT give them money for audio books
DO NOT sign up for monetisation of works
DO NOT download
This seems to be a huge data scrape of deleted & available works uploaded to Ao3 only. Just DON'T INTERACT!!

We can’t bring AO3 back online, but we CAN give you something else you’ve been waiting (im)patiently for…
The App Store gods have finally smiled on us 🙌

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

please DO NOT give these people the e-mail associated with your ao3 accounts. since this is monetized and directly referencing them, it’s more likely that ao3 and their legal team themselves can work on a takedown request, or at least provide instructions on how to do it safely. DO NOT DOXX YOURSELF TO AN AI SLOP SITE.

1/ Gonna throw my hat in the ring here because it's late and just like. Fuck it.
I am a fic author. I post my fics on the internet fully aware that they will very likely be shared elsewhere other than where I post them because that's how the internet works.
I write because

Happy to report that over on t*mblr and b*uesky people are exceedingly normal about all this btw
99.9% reasonable, nuanced takes that cover both “hey let’s not report fanfics to google for copyright issues bc that gets ugly quick” AND “hey let’s be respectful of writers’ wishes”

why does all fanfiction discourse always get reduced to stupid, unnuanced either-or arguments?? general writing advice is okay; targetted unsolicited criticism is NOT. sharing epubs is okay; reposting fics is NOT. *some* writers not wanting their work included in archive drives
ray 𓏲ּ𝄢 retweeted
Yeah I actually do think people should have taken down fics if they know the author said no. (No is a no, and that should have been respected)
But I also disagree that people did anything morally or ethically wrong when they originally shared fics thru drives with other people.
ray 𓏲ּ𝄢 retweeted
But that's not happening tho. Like at all. When ppl repost without credit that's sharing work that isn't yours. When your downloaded fics are shared in drive you still have your username, the url etc. it's just like collection. No one is claiming it's theirs.

As a writer it just confuses me that you can’t count “I loved your work so much that I downloaded it and I’m offering for others to be able to read it at a time when the archive is down and they wouldn’t be able to access it at all” as a form of appreciation and validation

fic writers being anti-piracy is kinda one of the craziest things i've ever heard 😭 wdym ur anti-piracy YOU DONT OWN THE COPYRIGHT TO MAJORITY OF WHAT U WRITE !!
