OC Questionaire

Thanks to @spideronthesun for the tag! The prompt is to answer the assigned questionsas if you were your OC. I will, of course, answer questions as my beloved Arlasaire💜

1. What's the first time you rebelled in your life against the society and its expectations?

"...Mmm... I once told Lord Einharde I didn't want him to hit me anymore. I don't know if that counts... in a lot of ways, it's like I was never really in society."

2. What is something you miss the most from your childhood?

"Gil."

3. What's your biggest regret in life so far?

"Killing Gil."

Tagging @maiemorrae, @moonfeatherblue, @reaperofcrows, @pluttskutt, @theprissythumbelina, @anyablackwood, @maskedemerald, and back at @spideronthesun, if you want, with new questions for your OCs to answer!

1. If you could switch places with any other person, who would it be and why?

2. Do you have a signature dish or favorite food? What is it and how is it connected to you?

3. Is life getting better?

No pressure but it'd be so cool to hear from y'all!

depicting sexual assault in media is not an endorsement of it 🤝 it's reasonable for audiences to expect a certain level of care and awareness in its presentation 🤝 there is oftentimes an over-reliance on sexual violence in creating the backstories, trajectories, and conflicts of fictional women 🤝 sexual violence is prevalent in society and stories about it do need to be told as a reflection of our reality 🤝 sometimes male writers and directors are extremely bad at telling these stories and audiences are justified in demanding better

I haven't used any invites, so if anyone wants any to skip the line, let me know!

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.
