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.

Just Say "Yes" (I'd Rather Have Everything Than Nothing At All) by Taecakes (3/3 | 23,164 | T)

It all starts with a tweet: KTH is giving me serious creeper vibes Against his better judgement, Taehyung clicks.

(canon compliant)

the family man by Vicky (Wikczi) (1/1 | 36,224 | M)

the one where Jeongguk is a successful businessman living his best life as a single alpha in New York City until a mysterious encounter on a night of Christmas Eve after which he wakes up mated and married to… his college boyfriend?

(a/b/o au, getting back together)

Even If You Don't Love Me by tigerbuns (1/1 | 37,505 | E)

Taehyung is desperate to save his kingdom and Jeongguk agrees to form an alliance with him on one condition: Marriage.

(arranged marriage, royalty)

such a beautiful scar by autumnstae (1/1 | 38,782 | T)

“Don’t be,” Taehyung responds, his voice low—a whisper of a word. He looks up, a palm reaching out to grasp Jeongguk’s hand, which lay flat on his cheek, “go out there and kick some butt, Spidey. I’m rooting for you.” And Jeongguk looks like he wants to say more, his head tilting, mouth slightly ajar—but he decides against it, retracting his arm from Taehyung’s hold. A kiss to the forehead, as always—his lips, for once, cold, sickly against his skin—before he’s suited up, shooting his webs, and out the window. Taehyung watches silently. Jeongguk doesn’t look back. Whoever says that being Spiderman’s best friend is an unmatched, priceless perk clearly hasn’t been in love with the guy, he supposes.

(spideykook au)

LACUNA by meganni (1/1 | 48,041 | E)

Jeon Jeongguk is an uprising boxer, in dire need of a sponsor; Kim Taehyung is a supermodel, just as desperate to find a partner in crime to cheat out an entire family wealth with – upon meeting, they cannot help but get tangled. (Despite the fact they can barely stand each other, but oh well, destiny plays its own hand as well.)

(boxer jk, model/chaebol tae)

Something To Do With Hands by lethallergic (1/1 | 49,739 | E)

“It’s a lot like falling in love with a city you’ve never been to.”

(canon compliant, friends to lovers)

boyfriends with benefits (love for show) by kvhnoir (1/1 | 53,567 | M)

where taehyung, the perfect role model is too tired of being perfect and releases his frustrations through rebelling chaebol jeon jeongguk and well it gets too dramatic, both their feelings and their lives

(pwp)

Try Hard by meganni (1/1 | 58,704 | E)

With years of rivalry at hand, one can clearly point out that rebellious prodigy Kim Taehyung and golden boy Jeon Jeongguk simply can’t stand each other. And then suddenly comes out a rumor about said Jeongguk being fucking hung and Taehyung wants to punch him in the face even more than before (he also kind of wants to suck his dick, but that’s beside the point).

(enemies to lovers)

summer; blue by batman (1/1 | 66,024 | M)

More than you can manage, more than you can hide: a study in light.

(magical realism)

this is my heart (dive deep) by serenitaes (6/6 | 80,653 | M)

Kim Taehyung wasn’t looking for love but still, it found him anyway. Surely by now, everyone knows that some of the best things in life appear when you least expect them and Taehyung certainly wasn't expecting to fall for Jeon Jeongguk as effortlessly as he did. (Or an au where single father Taehyung is on the search for an in-house chef to compensate for his barely-there cooking skills. When the opportunity appears to hire professional chef Jeongguk, Taehyung is blindsided with how perfectly Jeongguk settles into their lives, making a home in not only his son’s heart but his too.)

(single parent tae, chef jk)

with time by taecheeks (19/19 | 182,313 | E)

Future Alpha Taehyung's parents send his ex best friend, future second in command Jeongguk to university with him. Taehyung's annoyed. Jeongguk takes his duties too seriously for reasons. There's only one bed.

(wolf au, NOT a/b/o)

[mingyu x wonwoo]

fever dream high (you know that i caught it) by mondeblue (9/9 | 47,214 | M)

“Are you staying over tonight?” It takes Wonwoo a moment to realize Mingyu’s talking to him. He looks up again, and finds Mingyu already looking back. “I don’t think so,” he answers. “Why?” Mingyu shrugs, but Wonwoo thinks he can see the tips of his ears turn red. “I don’t want a repeat of, uh, last time.” Seokmin laughs. “Oh, you mean when you hooked up with someone right in front of him?” he says gleefully. “And you didn’t realize he was there until-” “I was there, you know,” Mingyu tells him. “You don’t have to remind me.” (or: mingyu makes the worst first impression in the history of first impressions. wonwoo just wants to maintain plausible deniability.)

[hyunjin x jeongin]

moonglow by mrehk (6/6 | 45,000 | E)

“Please, Jeongin. Just drive,” Hyunjin begs. Pleads. His jaw aches from how hard his teeth are clenched. From the corner of his eye he watches Jeongin’s hand start the ignition, shaking as he shifts the car into gear. “Put your seatbelt on,” Jeongin murmurs. He clears his throat when it takes a second for Hyunjin to react. Then, louder, “I’ll go when you put on your seatbelt.” Hyunjin scrambles to do as he’s told, fixing his gaze forward again as soon as humanly possible. His white linen jumpsuit feels heavy against his legs, the halter tied behind his neck pulling uncomfortably. The engine revs, and Jeongin peels out of the lot. The first tears fall when they round the corner, leaving the church in the rear view. (OR: Hyunjin flees his wedding with his fiancé’s brother; Jeongin is secretly in love with his brother’s fiancé.)

[minho x jisung]

a wonder under summer skies by Anonymous (1/1 | 32,191 | E)

Jisung gets invited to tag along for a two-week-long summer vacation in a lake house with his best friend, Jeongin, and his family. Everything would be great if only Jeongin’s step-brother, Minho, wasn’t the guy of his dreams, and if his existence didn’t throw a wrench into Jisung’s plans of blissful relaxation, turning his world upside-down.

[mark x donghyuck]

in simple terms by mayhems (1/1 | 10,286 | T)

After receiving a totally not romantically-charged gift from Mark, Donghyuck decides to finally get answers about what they really are to each other by any means necessary, starting with doing what he does best: psychologically manipulating Mark until he figures out exactly what he wants to know. (Donghyuck might just be crazy. That would be the worst possible outcome, definitely.)

Gina Porter is fed up by how much weight society puts on soulmates - especially as someone who doesn’t have a soulmate tattoo herself. It’s when she meets Ricky Bowen, just as soulmate-less as her, that she realizes she might not be alone in her viewpoint.

When the two make a pact to prove those without soulmate tattoos don’t have to be in a relationship to feel happy within themselves, they don’t realize just how difficult it would be to withstand romantic attraction for someone who gets you better than anyone else.

When Jeonghan tells his work friends that he has a boyfriend, he isn’t expecting them to invite him to a cabin on the week of Christmas for a romantic holiday vacation. This wouldn’t be a problem if Seungcheol was actually his boyfriend.

[minho x jisung]

taking care of you (us) by shaxyss (1/1 | 12,723 | G)

“Jagi,” Minho said while he reached to gently grab his arm. Jisung made a pained face when his fingers brushed near the elbow. He would probably have a bruise, hopefully, nothing serious.”I am not asking why you fell. I want to know if you are okay.” Or, three times that Minho took care of his jagi and one time that Jisung returned the favour.
