i thought this was drafts as in ao3 drafts THERE'S A FIC FROM MY FUCKING GOOGLE DRIVE

The ao3 dot life has been taken down but now blk-archiveofourown dot org is now up and actively loading our works.
We NEED to find that source and cut it or they're gonna keep making more.

So just a heads up on this: There are a number of LLCs that were registered yesterday and all mysteriously scraping and creating similar sites that all have the same cache of our materials. The newest offender has yet to "load in batches", meaning they are actively making more.

We have a third: ficatlas dot com. Registered in August likely as a test run. Curiously each of these is from Cloudflare in some fashion but every single one has an IANA code.
AO3 Life: 3862
blk archive: 3827
ficatlas: 1910
I suppose the new to look into is.. IANA? Hmm..
google's harsh policy is exactly why we're saying don't create these drives. no one needs to report a drive for google to notice there's new public folders with millions of views and they contain sexual content (against tos). you're putting us all at risk!

Saying it louder for the people in the back; copyright law in the US and elsewhere protects authors' IP. Fanfiction is still the property of whomever wrote it, not the free property of fans.
Fan access is a privilege, not a right.

Also want to add: privating fics instead of deleting them will also stop people from being able to repost them on Ao3, since you'll be able to easily prove you're the author/you uploaded first.
moans retweeted
I've seen a lot of authors consider deleting their work as soon as Ao3 is back up, so I want to offer an alternative solution. You can make your fics private/inaccessiable through a private collection:
So ao3 [dot] life is a website whose domain was JUST registered today, with millions (?) of fics as audiobooks within their database. Honestly this is highly suspicious β DO NOT email this site for taking your fics down, they have no business knowing that kind of information.
OTW's update for this website: They are aware of this and are taking necessary steps. Everyone need not send anymore reports, because it will slow them further down.
Update: there has been an apology, and the site has apparently been taken down. Still, I would like everyone to exercise caution and not give up their information too easily online, and to be on the lookout for similar sites. Remember, community is everything, and we can do much more when we're together than if we're apart.

Warning: I'm gonna turn into a real bitch here for a minute
1- "archive salvation" and you people tell writers we are conceited lmao
2- can you guys really not wait a couple of weeks? Or a month at worst? Really. Like if Ao3 was GONE gone then yeah, things would be different

did it?? good lol and oh I believe they 110% had bad intentions. I mean...appearing randomly right after the ao3 data breach? Asking for people's personal info/bank accounts??? Yeahhhh they just are trying to play innocent because of getting busted lol

i mean we all already knew that the general public sees writing fanfic as a cringy and largely valueless hobby for weirdos but itβs been kinda funny to see that the vast majority of people on this website who literally read it on the regular also think that
moans retweeted
she doxxed people and scared fanfic writers with legal threats to the point they deleted her entire category. i canβt think of another author sending cease and desists. they just vocally disapprove. she took down entire communities.

Playing the victim after three days of harassing and dismissing every writer who expressed they didn't like their work reuploaded YOU CANNOT BE REAL
moans retweeted
Actually, do not delete your fics when the archive comes back on. Private them but don't take them off the site. Once deleted it becomes infinitely more difficult to prove authorship and thus more difficult to protect against scrapers, thieves, plagiarizers and the like

More Kim Dokja thoughts: He isn't one to verbalise affection.
Kim Dokja is a man who uses his words thoughtfully. He speaks well and when he wants, he speaks plenty. Yet, when it comes to vulnerability, he massively sucks at being open about it.
Kim Dokja isn't keen on saying that he loves someone, for sure. He's very good at expressing it subconsciously with his actions: by providing, guiding, giving gifts, and ultimately, sacrificing himself.
Kim Dokja can definitely acknowledge that he holds affection in some way for people. He understands that he feels deeply for someone. But he also feels that his feelings are atypical β he doesn't feel "love" like how the rest of the world professes to feel that sort of thing.
Kim Dokja feels like something is wrong with him, that he's not someone who's capable of a feeling like love, not for any individual in his life, and definitely not in the way he's supposed to be.
(Which is objectively not true. Feeling an emotion doesn't look just one way, you can feel an emotion in a completely different way than someone else. Kim Dokja is just a certified dumbass when it comes to vulnerability.)

"Kim Dokja, do you think there's another universe where we meet?"
She looked up at the man, whose eyes watched the night sky right above them. Han Sooyoung noted every dip and every curve of the face like it was her last time, pale skin illuminated by the moon and stars.

If you already did, donβt panic!! <3 Iβd just stop sending them anything further. And if you reused that password anywhere else, change it there too, and turn on 2FA if you havenβt already.
