Lastly. Can we start a dialogue about where we go from here? We are and always have been a community. We must continue to be so! This shall not break us. This has always been a two way street. We writers share our work for free.

Sixth, everyone! I've seen a lot of judgemet, from readers and writers, towards writers who ask not to be included in the drives. Please don't do this. There are legal concerns now that there weren't before. Please respect people so they can keep themselves safe (hopefully).
moans retweeted
Readers, please understand that many writers ONLY post on AO3 b/c AO3 allows everything and has legal protecting other sites don't. When you share/reupload people's writing elsewhere, you're opting that writing in to a TOS that the writer didn't agree to.

PSA FOR ALL FANFIC WRITERS AND READERS. PLEASE READ UNTIL THE END.
I said some of this yesterday. But i don't normally get on Twitter and my posts don't get much traction, so I'll reiterate here. This is important for everyone in our community! Please share with your friends...

Replying to @_nyxisms
Like I said earlier: If people wanna download and hoard fics im okay with mine being downloaded because omg how is my stuff worthy?? But the second they're being used FOR PROFIT? Load the boltors.
I do hope you still follow your passions. Things like this can be so discouraging

I wish I didn't have to go full forensics mode at 9pm just to advocate for the rights of every author who just wanted to make nice things for people to enjoy together..

So this is NOT targeting black creators from AO3, this is targeting ALL AO3 writers exactly like ao3 (dot) life did. I saw the works of non-black friends listed here. The website even asks for the email you used to create AO3. This is ao3 (dot) life all over again. @AO3_Status
It's not enough we just had that mess with ao3.life now we have another one targeting specifically black creators from ao3. I've found 3 of my usernames and fics I'd orphaned or put on private on this site.

Eu, quando hackeio o ao3, roubo todas as fics, até as que já foram apagadas, crio um site novo feito por IA, posto tds essas fics, monetizo e começo a receber uma enxurrada de denúncias. Ent, peço pro chat escrever um texto vitimista, pedindo desculpas e que sou apenas uma teen

No rest for the wicked guys- There's another one..
Once again our stuff is ripped and plastered. Until we find the source, we just keep cutting off hydra heads.

‼️THERE ARE NEW WEBSITES POPPING UP JUST LIKE AO3-DOT-LIFE
DO NOT give any of them your information, just keep reporting them to OTW and ignore them‼️

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.
moans retweeted
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.
