If You Could Relive Any Of Your Memories, Which Would It Be?

If you could relive any of your memories, which would it be?

That's a bit tough! I could go lighthearted, or I could go heavy. I think I'll go lighthearted and say the first time I read The Lightning Thief. Or watched The Last Airbender. Kinda miss that magic of having my mind blown, lol. Thanks for the ask!

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:

About The AO3 "No Guest Comments For A While" Warning

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:

About The AO3 "No Guest Comments For A While" Warning

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.

Out of Context WIP Poll!

I was tagged by @littleladymab and @kaylinalexanderbooks for this one! Thank you both so much for the tag! 💜

Rules: Post out of context/bad summaries of your WIPs and make a poll for people to choose from.

I already did this a while ago for most of my ongoing WIPs, but I haven't done one yet for Of Starlight and Beasts (my main one, currently), and Grymm City Chronicles (my chaotic webcomic in the making), so let's do this!
