Lots of people are mentioning this, and saying things like "Don't Like Don't Read" and "stop harassing authors."

And while those are good points...

This is probably a bot invasion, rather than any team of hostile commenters.

The key issue: People were getting comments with porn gifs embedded in them, not just the standard "this reads like chatGPT work" or "join WəɓṆøvℯḼ now!" posts.

My guess about the plans: Probably looking into turning off image embeds for guest accounts. That'll require adjustments to the code, so guest commenting will probably remain turned off while they figure out how to do that and get it activated.

It's possible that, in the long run, guest comments won't be allowed at all, because eventually the spam content will overwhelm the servers. It's not doing that yet, but AO3 is not shrinking and neither is bot activity.

...If you don't have an account, apply for an invitation. If you have an account and don't want to use it for commenting, apply for an invite with a secondary email account.

Because unless there's a nice widespread change in either law or legal rulings, the spambots will continue to grow unrestricted, and the result is going to be "sites that want an active community will need to become login only."

(About half of all emails in the world are spam. About 40% of all internet activity is bots. And so far, the regulator reaction to that has been, "well, lock down access so the bots can't get in" rather than "whoever is draining all those server resources is committing crimes.")

AO3 will figure something out. That something is likely to involve restrictions on guest activity, because that's the only way to block the bots.

Pumpkin patch and everything nice

A/N: Requested by @the-little-ewok 🎃💖 I really hope you like it!! I expected it to be a blurb but hey... here we are now with 1k words lol.

@flufftober - Day 22 Picking [pumpkins]

Pairing: Poe Dameron x reader Modern!AU, I guess. Beebee is a Corgi.

Word count: 1.1k words

Flufftober masterlist

As soon as the wheels came to a stop, you could already smell the sweet treats baking and the distant fire coming from inside the cabin. The pumpkin patch extended for as far as you could see, the brisk air from outside forced you to wrap yourselves in knit sweaters and scarves, it was the perfect fall afternoon of orange leaves, warm drinks, and Poe by your side.

The car engine turned off and at the same time Beebee started barking from the backseat, his tiny dog butt waving in anticipation. You couldn’t blame him, you had planned this trip for weeks and you were sure your dog was as excited about it as you were, Poe’s enthusiastic calls of “are you ready bud?” only fueling the dog’s tail waves. “Are you ready?” He cocked an eyebrow when he repeated the question for you, earning a light push and a laugh from you.

Poe opened his door and rushed to open the one beside him - yes, not yours, but the one from the back that let Beebs out to run freely around the autumn paradise in front of you. “Beebee! Don’t go far!”

“I don’t think he cares.” You joined him on the other side of the car, his arm finding its way around your shoulders and yours around your waist. “You did promise him a big place to run around, if anything-”

Poe nodded, his lips curving into a loving smile. “Yeah, yeah, this is my fault.” Poe finished for you, leaning to kiss the side of your head. You walked side by side to the entrance of the pumpkin-filled woods, taking in the silence of the place only accompanied by the crunch of the leaves under your feet and the laughing kids in the distance.

As you entered the enchanting pumpkin patch, warms wrapped around each other, you couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment washing over you. The rows of plump, orange pumpkins seemed to glow in the warm sunlight, and it was as if you'd stepped into an autumn picture you’d only seen on those aesthetic blogs you follow. You watched Beebee zigzag through the rows of pumpkins with untamed enthusiasm, barking at every pumpkin he felt could be a threat.

“Don’t think I forgot about your mission.” You bumped Poe’s hip with yours.

Poe smiled, not averting his eyes from the horizon. “My mission? Do you mean the very same reason why we are here?” You laughed at his excitement, squeezing his side; you could even see his eyes already scanning the place. “I promised you, sweetheart. I'm going to find the biggest, most gorgeous pumpkin in this whole patch, and we won’t leave until we have it.”

“I better get my coffee and my muffin, then. Get comfortable while I wait for you.” You teased.

“Oh, so you think it’s going to take me long?” He unwrapped himself from your embrace to stand in front of you with a playful glare in his eyes. “Is that a challenge?”

“Maybe,” you shrugged, knowing exactly what a challenge did to him.

Poe's eyes sparkled with determination and affection as he leaned in, his lips meeting yours in a sweet, promising kiss. “You’ll see. I’m going to ace this mission.” With a mischievous glint in his eyes and one more quick kiss, Poe began his quest for the biggest pumpkin. 

You couldn't help but watch him with affectionate amusement as he scoured the patch, lifting pumpkins, inspecting their size, and occasionally shaking his head as he sought the perfect one.

“Beebs! Come on bud!” Poe’s voice called for your chubby corgi who ran up to him with an acknowledging bark. He followed Poe's every step, as if he too was participating in this mission all with Poe talking to him through it too, giving him instructions on how to find it.

As Poe searched, you made your way to your own mission up to the nearby rustic stand selling hot apple cider, freshly-baked muffins, and other autumn delights. The aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg filled the air, and you couldn't resist getting a cup of steaming cider and a pumpkin spice muffin. You found a cozy spot at one of the wooden tables set up nearby and settled in to enjoy your treats with the perfect view of your boyfriend and your dog equally excited in the patch.

Beebe was the first one to tire out, reaching you with a tiny pumpkin in his mouth, dropping it on your feet, and flopping onto the ground. “Guess who’s winning.” You chanted with a sing-song tone that made Poe grunt - “that’s not big at all”, he even complained, continuing his search through rows and rows of pumpkins.

You were halfway through your muffin when Poe called for you, an excited “Sweetheart!” coming from somewhere down the patch. You spotted Poe in the distance, triumphantly lifting a gigantic pumpkin above his head, his muscles bulging with effort. His infectious enthusiasm had attracted the attention of other pumpkin pickers, who cheered him on as he carried the enormous fruit back to you.

Poe placed the pumpkin down with a satisfied grin, beads of sweat on his forehead, and his hands were covered in dirt. "I told you I'd find the biggest one!" he declared, looking pleased with his accomplishment.

“I never once doubted you,” you said, admiring the massive orange ball that sat on the table between the two of you. 

Poe wiped his hands on his jeans and leaned in for a loving kiss, tasting of the earthy scent of the pumpkin patch. "I hope you're ready for some serious pumpkin carving," he said with a wink.

“Definitely. Do you think I’m going to let Finn and Rose win this year again? Hell no.” You both chuckled, Poe letting himself fall on the chair beside you the same way Beebee had flopped to the ground. He loved that competitive side of you, the very same one that pushed him to find the pumpkin and that was now rewarding him with a taste of your cider.

As the sun began to make its way down, you and Poe gathered your treasures, including the enormous pumpkin and the smaller ones Beebee had gathered, and made your way back to the car - not without running back for more of that cider and a couple more muffins you couldn’t get enough of.

“We should do this every year,” Poe spoke up after a few minutes down the road on the way back, interrupting the sound of Beebee snoring in the back.

Turning to look at him you admired his profile, strong and calm with a soft smile playing on his lips. You reached over and squeezed his hand, your fingers interlocking with his. “I’d love that.” 

Poe smiled wider, quickly looking at your matching loving smile not wanting to miss the way you were looking at him, before lifting your hand to kiss the back of it. He kept your hand in his as he always did while driving. Many more years of this… yeah, you could get used to it.

Sunday Sneak Peaks!

The Light of a Thousand Stars

Poe stalled; he knew that he shouldn't trust her after what happened on Pheryon, especially since she so easily put Evelyn's life in danger, but there was all their history flying together before that. He couldn't just forget about all the times she did have his back. "It doesn't matter what I think," he said, softly. "Final say comes from the General."

Suralinda sighed, angrily. "Which means I'll never do anything more than push a mop around this place. Sad, because if you had just come alone like I had asked of you, and not brought the Jedi princess along--I might have been able to gain the General's trust eventually."

Perhaps It’s Fate

Rey’s hand on your back startled you. “Where are you going?”

You pulled away, tears still running down your cheeks. “I’m leaving.”

“I can see that--but where?”

“Mon Cal, and then who knows.” Who cares--I need to get away from Poe!

All For You

Emmy was fussy.

It was probably because Poe had left to go help his father, but you decided to try to put her down for a nap early. Maybe by the time she woke up she’d be in a better mood and Poe would be back from the orchards.

As soon as you laid her down, however, she let out a bloodcurdling scream. Your heart leapt into your throat as you picked her up, cradling her against you--something was wrong, your motherly instinct was kicking in. “Oh baby, what is it?” you cried, as Emmy sobbed against your shoulder. “Oh, how I wish you could talk to me, baby, tell me what’s hurting you so much.”

beneath the stars

poe dameron x reader

poe wants you to stay with him overnight, but - do you really have to go?

rating: T, gn!reader, soft love & intimacy, missing someone, & having to leave them for a little while

"I have to leave soon, it's getting late..."

"Shh...just five more minutes..."

"You're sleeping."

"So...just...you could stay right here. And...and, I could keep you safe and protect you."

With a soft sigh of your breath, you lean into him closer. The warmth of his broad chest, pressed to the heat he makes of your own skin, and the feeling of his strong hands, grasping your body further toward his heart.

He wants you to feel it.

And you do.

"You're always...too far away."

He says - muffling all of his slowly strung words together into your neck - burying his face there when you try to turn slightly just to kiss him.

Gently.

As though he might be dreaming...

Just to remind him of where you both truly are.

Safe.

Tired.

Over on a quiet hilltop beneath the stars.

A borrowed ship, waiting in the distance to reluctantly bring you back home when the space between eventually actually becomes a time for you to go.

If only you didn't have to.

"I'll be back to visit before you know it."

"Fine..."

He groans to himself. Frustrated.

Upset that the more you love one another, the more you both become separated by war.

To leave this man during a moment just like this, would be absolutely unimaginable.

And then - it lingers.

That ache in your chest that runs away with itself just as fast as the trail of his gritty stubble leads the way beneath your ear.

Tracing you there, catching onto you.

First - with the subtle dip of his chin.

Then - the distinct tickle of his eyelashes to wake you back up.

Waves of dark hair, curling round your fingertips selfishly because you want to cradle him longer there while you kiss. His forehead, now resting upon yours - catching his breath where the bow of his lips now soften.

"Just a few minutes more. Please, just stay with me."

"Poe...then I'll never go."

He smirks, tiredly.

"That's the point, Sweets."

But, when you have each other like this, the moments are rare and your eyes become sleepy just as well. Closing and then opening again and again. The dew of hot, Summer air, reeling you back in once more.

"This is perfect..."

Poe whispers, his eyes opening within the light and shadows glistening off of a nearby lake acting as your backdrop. The sounds of fireflies & midnight crickets, illuminating and filling all of the trees with kind and heartwarming sounds.

"It is."

You smile. Holding his face affectionately.

Remembering.

Just in case you had ever felt lost.

"You're beautiful..."

And it's as if his arms are doing all the begging for him then. Wanting you trapped playfully between the slotting of his limbs around yours. Your hips, joining together lazily in a loving glide of endless touch.

He can feel the slipping of a few stray tears falling hopelessly down your face. Hoping that he hasn't hurt you. Wanting nothing more than to be the reason for your joy and not for your sadness when it comes.

If only missing someone wasn't so hard.

But maybe the simple act of comfort with the man you love isn't so terrible.

Maybe surrendering to the here and now, is the only thing that the universe can tell that you both want.

A night spent together where you can wish upon the moon.

And, aren't we rebels for a reason?

Would it be so bad if you just happened to turn off your comms? 😉

... 🧡

thanks so much for reading ! hope you enjoyed this short story with poe ! late night, unedited, free write. 🌙 xo

Jealousy?

I have had a full Poe Dameron love story figured out in my mind for a long time - thought I would have a go at writing some of it up. This is my first attempt and is actually the first time I have ever shared any of my writing. Dropping into the story part way through at a moment that I felt some inspiration to write about. The vibe is very angsty!

"Why are you so angry about this?"

Poe's head snapped up, looking at X as her words hung accusingly in the air.

"I am not angry", he unironically angrily snapped back at her.

"Right - so its not anger. I know it definitely isn't jealously, so you're going to have to fill me in here Poe. What is the problem?"

Poe, who had been pacing back and forward in the small space of the base mechanical workroom came to a stop with a look of confusion and uncertainty clouding his face. "Jealousy? What do you mean jealousy?"

X broke eye contact - suddenly feeling unsure of herself. Anger and frustration had gotten the best of her and she had now said way to much. She knew that she was going to have to explain herself and felt her insides groan at the humiliation of what she was now about to say.

"I said that I knew that you weren't jealous - there have been enough rejections to leave me in no doubt of that Poe". X looked down, feeling to embarrassed to maintain the intense eye contact that had been present for most of the discussion so far.

Again her words hung in the air - but this time there was no quick comeback from the usually self-confident pilot. Instead, Poe was stunned. Stunned that X had actually directly referenced the unspoken tension that existed between them. The tension that even though felt overwhelming at times, they both usually pretended wasn't there.

X knew that she had broken some sort of unspoken agreement between them to not discuss what had happened between them, but Poe's behaviour recently had pushed her to her limit. She was trying to fit in here and find her place in the resistance. She had struggled since she had met Poe and he had encouraged her to join. She hadn't been a natural recruit - she wasn't a pilot, not a mechanic, a medic or a fighter. The General had recently partnered her with a young rookie - Telon and asked them to prepare for an intelligence gathering mission. She was doing her best to make this work and find her role and how she could contribute - but ever since she began working with Telon, Poe had distanced himself from her. She was leaving on the mission in the morning, and she needed Poe's support - not the silent treatment and passive aggressiveness.

Poe hesitantly broke the silence. His tone now softer than their earlier angry discussion. "Rejection? I've never rejected you" and in a low whisper - "I would never reject you".

Laughing to herself sadly, X looked up, her bright blue eyes locking onto Poe's briefly. "Come on Poe - twice now we've had moments between us and each time afterwards you've pushed me away and pretended nothing has happened. You've made it pretty clear that I'm not for you".

Poe dropped his head and slowly shaking it back and forward, muttered quietly, "That's not what I was doing". Silence once again hung in the air as X willed Poe to say more. To actually talk about his feelings for her. However, Poe's silence only echoed in the room and she was once again left disappointed. A chill broke out across her heart, closing the opening that her loss of control had created. She knew continuing this conversation was pointless.

X turned to leave and as she walked about she exclaimed: "Ok - so glad we've established that it isn't jealousy that's making you have such a bad attitude to this mission with Telon".

"X - I just don't trust him. He isn't going to keep you safe", Poe called out after her.

"It's not his job to keep me safe Poe. And why? Why don't you trust him?"

Poe's shoulders sagged. "I just don't. It's a feeling." Poe stepped forward and stood in front of her, his hands coming up to softly hold her by her forearms. He dipped his head to force her to make eye contact with him. Instead of finding the vibrant blue eyes that he loved staring back at him, her eyes seemed dull and grey. Voice thickening he pleaded, "Please don't go on this mission".

X looked at Poe. He really was a beautiful man. Just looking at him made her heart burst - but this conversation had proven more than ever that Poe either didn't feel the same about her, or would not allow himself to admit that he did.

"I'm sorry Poe - I'm going".

As she walked away from the garage all she could hear was the intense beating of her own heart coupled with the sounds of banging coming from the garage as Poe expressed the feelings he couldn't bring himself to say to her on the X-Wing he was working on.

Poe was up early; even before his father.

He planned on hiking out to the Force tree alone, to pay a visit to his mother but Emmy woke up before you or her grandfather. She was quite content to sit in his lap and gobble up her breakfast. Poe envied her, how she didn’t have a care in the galaxy. Him on the other hand–he had the entire weight of the galaxy on his shoulders. He just wanted it safe for his baby girl. He just wanted her to grow up free.

Sneak Peaks

I meant to post these yesterday, but just a couple of sneak peaks of what’s coming!

Perhaps It’s Fate

Poe felt like he had been punched in the gut. You were gone; with his intense desire to protect you, to give you the life you deserved--he’d pushed you away, probably for good. Before he could even think straight, he asked when he could get clearance to take off. He was going to Mon Cal, he was going after you--the mission, the Resistance be damned.

The Light of a Thousand Stars

There was barely time to react as the steal clad knight emerged from behind the rock. Evelyn, not opened to the Force, startled and it was just the right amount of time the dark side user needed to slash his sword across her abdomen. She managed to unlatch and ignite her lightsaber, but the strenuous swing of the blade that followed barely made a dent on the Knight of Ren's armor.

"Hey!" Kaleb shouted, snapping his own lightsaber to life. He reached out and called Evelyn's weapon to his free hand. "Get away from her!"

Poe was quiet. 

They had easily slipped into their meet-up spot with their informant; which, for Poe, felt too easy. He was always on edge, waiting for the worst case scenario to happen–and you suppose, given his history, he had good reason to be so. Still… even when he was one edge he was always talking. 

His silence was unnerving; even Chewie was concerned about it.
