About the AO3 "No Guest Comments for a while" warning

If you're not following any of AO3's social media accounts you might be in the dark as to what kind of "spam comments" have engendered this banner at the top of the site:

These spam comments have been posted about a great deal on the AO3 subreddit for the past couple of days. Initially they comprised a bunch of guest (logged out users) bot comments that insulted authors by suggesting they were using AI and not writing their own fics. Some examples, from the subreddit:

But it then escalated to outright graphic porn images and gifs being posted in comments, again by logged out 'Guest' accounts. Obviously, I'm not going to give examples of those, but between these two bot infestations, AO3 has clearly decided to act and has temporarily closed the ability to post comments for users who are not logged in with an AO3 account.

Unfortunately, this means that genuine readers who don't have an AO3 account won't be able to leave comments on fics that they enjoy.

If you are a genuine reader who doesn't yet have an AO3 account, I strongly suggest getting yourself on the waiting list for one. More and more AO3 authors are now locking their fics down to registered users only - either due to these bot comments or concerns about AI scraping their work - which means you're probably missing out on a lot of great stuff.

Hopefully guest commenting will be enabled again at some point soon, but I suggest not waiting until then. Get yourself on that list.

Wait times are going to be longer than usual at the moment, due to the current Wattpad purge [info on Fanlore | Wattpad subreddit thread], but if you're in line, then your invite will come through eventually.

Update: There's now a Megathread about this on the AO3 subreddit.

OMG!!! I forgot about this art!! 🤪 Once upon a time I drew it for the "Dress Up / Transformation" challenge for a fandom event.

My idea is that sometimes Ron and Hermione, Harry and Ginny would switch clothes 💅 Just for fun

I love Ginny's outfits on Harry 😏 I think Ginny had a goth phase or something like that. Not for long, buuuuut 😏😏😏

Ronald Weasley's bedroom

"It was like walking into a furnace: Nearly everything in Ron's room seemed to be a violent shade of orange: the bedspread, the walls, even the ceiling. Then Harry realised that Ron had covered nearly every inch of the shabby wallpaper with posters of the same seven witches and wizards, all wearing bright orange robes, carrying broomsticks, and waving energetically."

There was so much orange color, I had to balance it with blue 😅

I really love the sunshine here ✨

Oh man there is so much old art in my phone that I’m not sure is posted anywhere?? These are all from 2018-2020 which…seems so insane to me.

Hello! I thought about running the fest again this year and wanted to check first if writers/artists are interested to create something for the Harry/Ron crowd.

And if you are interested, I want to know if you prefer open prompts again where everyone can create something for every single prompt or if you would prefer getting specific prompts that can be claimed and therefore, there will be only one artwork/story for each prompt? The second option is how most fests are doing it, meaning there’s a prompting phase where everyone can submit prompts and a claiming phase where creators try claim the prompt they want to write/draw for.

I’m happy with both options, so if you could take part in this little poll, you’d help me a lot.

You’d also help me by reblogging this post.
