#no whining please

[sonicenvy]

there is a new scourge on AO3 that I discovered recently...

that scourge is "Placeholder fics". This is thing, where someone posts a "fic" on AO3 with a summary and tags (and sometimes even a complete tag), but when you click on the "fic" the content of the "fic" is something like:

"coming soon" or "in progress" or "an idea I'll write someday"

This is a scourge on AO3 tags that directly violates TOS Section IV, as it is spam (sect B) and inappropriate content (sect H) (not, strictly speaking a fanwork).

If you see these "placeholder fics" on AO3 REPORT THEM. It is easy to do.

Link the fic in report and in the description, you can write something like this:

The linked "fic" is a so-called "placeholder fic" where the author posts a work to a tag and the only content is the words "In progress". The "fic" appears in tags, yet contains no content, so I would consider it to be spam. Thank you!

(This, btw is the actual thing that I wrote to report one of these a few weeks ago)

If you want to get jazzy you can even mention that you believe the "fic" violates TOS IV.H (which is what the AO3 mod told me in the email response to my report) or TOS IV.B.

You can report anonymously if you want afaik. Once you submit a report the AO3 moderators will get back to you at some point to update you on that report and action taken.

This is a simple way that YOU can make AO3 better today. If you see a "fic" that violates TOS in any way, REPORT IT. There are literally millions of fics on AO3 and the moderators can't possibly go through all of them without YOUR help.

I suspect that the people who are posting these "placeholder fics" are probably very young people who are very new to fandom and fanfiction and do not know better. If you are reading this post, and you are one of these people, know that I don't hate you, I just want you to know that what you are doing is a violation of the AO3 TOS and that it fills AO3 tags with spam, preventing readers from finding actual fic to read. There can be (and certainly are) MANY fics on AO3 with the SAME names, if that's what is motivating this.

AO3 isn't a social media site, it's an ARCHIVE for fanfiction. If you want to communicate with your following that you are planning on writing a new fic, use your tumblr, your reddit, your dreamwidth, your substack, your pillowfort, your livejournal, your bird site or whatever the fuck you have to do this. Link your socials in your bio on AO3 if you must. Mention it in the author's notes on your latest work. IDK, just don't post empty "fics" on the ARCHIVE.

hey did you guys know i absolutely love hearing whimpers and whines? There’s just something so fun about hearing a person barely able to control their own voice, hearing just how much of their brain power has gone to the things they’re currently feeling (whether it be pleasure or pain <3), that’s it to the point they can rarely get out proper words.

it’s powerful, really, hearing just how utterly pathetic you can get with just the right course of action <3

#Can you tell I like pathetic ppl #Could you tell I like whining #I’m easy to please ok what can I say #nsft wlw #sapphic nsft #wlw nsft #lesbian nsft #nsft lesbian #queer nsft #queer ns/fw #sapphic ns/fw #would this qualify as a voice kink? #Idk man #✨ <3 #<- I know what you are <3

Do you want to hear a funny story?

So you know that I was drawing spiderverse comics lately. Because they are fun to do. And I think people like them. I mean the most popular one has like 4K notes? That's lot for me when I usually dwell in tiny fandoms made out of like 3 people and their dog. So it's nice, everybody is having fun and I'm grateful.

but

BUT

I just found out that somebody took few of that comics. Cut them up and run the text through ai reading voice and posted it as reels on fucking youtube.

And it's not even that I'm stumped why even turn 4 pictures into video. First time I see such a time wasting thing but ok. People do like different things.

And even lke some effort was done to erase text from speech bubbles so it appears as the ai spews it aloud but it's not even about it

I had pictures taken and posted somewhere else. Usually without credit. At least this time it was credited? I guess I should be grateful.

What fucking gets me is that those comics have several hundred thousand views and few hundred comments each.

Like fucking seriously.

I don't know what's the point

I don;t know what should I feel about this

I mean unless you can make money on youtube reels? Then I can at least be pissed about it. Nice clean feeling?

Because what gets me is that most of those comments are nice so I should be happy about it? I guess? But I feel like a pathetic peeping tom looking for appreciation that wasn't given to me actually eve if I did the thing

ugh

I'm just tired

this day was already shitty so i guess it's time to give up and take a nap

next comic will be delayed

#to be deleted #rant #text post #sorry i just need to like scream into the void a little #i guess i should just let it go #and be gratefull for the attention im already getting #so many awesome artists that get less #no point in being greedy #and nobody here likes when artists whine for attention #because we should create the content #i fucking hate that word #for like idea #guess what i'm happy creating things because i like creating them #ill just stop sharing #like i recently gave up on insta because i;m done trying to please the algorithm so it may let me interact with people #i like the old fashioned idea from fans for fans #got i got salty #i'm sorry #hopefully nap will fix it #i just need to let it go i guess

Now maybe this is too salty of me but I actually think the people complaining about farcille enjoyers "only caring about romance" are more detrimental to the general ecosystem of people trying to understand and ruminate on dungeon meshi's themes than the afformentioned farcille enjoyers.

#dungeon meshi #farcille enjoyers are drawing and writing their yuri works while actively thinking about the themes #meanwhile these people are incapable of doing anything except complain about them #complaining and whining about fandom #to be clear understand the general frustration with ships always being the most talked about part of any media that blows up on here #but please learn that enjoying a romantic relationship between characters and enjoying themes and motifs are not mutually exclusive
