Voldemort: There must be endless information you’ve gathered throughout all your past lives

Harry: I know everyone’s dirty little secrets

Voldemort: I don’t suppose you’d share any with me…?

Harry: You would never guess which Hogwarts professor has a foot fetish

Voldemort: Not at all the sort of information I was looking for

Voldemort:

Voldemort: who

Knowing a fic author through AO3 is like attending someone’s thesis presentation and politely clapping at the end, knowing a fic author through this hellsite is like going over to their house at 3AM to watch them eat mayonnaise out of a jar

Oh damn the Catholics have joined in on the war against AI "art".

#I guess the fear of AI brings us all together #fr tho #the essence of art is to express feelings? #and I feel that when you use AI #you take that away #what are you even emoting?

Triste historia, siempre hay gente que intenta arruinar una buena comunidad, pero esperemos se pueda solucionar pronto. Hagan una cuenta! De verdad lo recomiendo.

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.

#oh dear #this made me so sad to see :(( #flashbacks of the tumblr pornbot war #Had my account for years now #really recommend it!

I can't believe Ngozi is reposting Check Please to Webtoons as weekly episodes. We're really gonna relive the entire comic run, revisit the complete spectrum of discourse. This is our Dracula Daily.

How many books in your possession are actually books that you never returned? To libraries, or people (alive or dead), or institutions, or anything else.

#more than 20 seems crazy to me #but I guess you can achieve it if you're old enough?? #a whole life of crimes #and the evidence is in your bookcase #this made me remember books that weren't returned to me though #now I'm sad
