Hey I Dont Know If This Is Being Talked About On Tumblr But Thankfully The AO3 Subreddit Has A Conversation

Hey I don’t know if this is being talked about on Tumblr but thankfully the AO3 subreddit has a conversation going about this app that just went live.

TikTok user unravel.me.now has just launch an app (lore.fm) she is calling “Audible for AO3”. It’s an app that uses AI voices to read out fics.

🚨She is requiring any authors who do not want their fics to be on this app to OPT OUT by emailing team@lore.fm 🚨 🚨She has not given an actual template or how you’re supposed to prove you’re the author or said how her team will process this or how she will keep these requests secure🚨

I do not have this app. I haven’t seen anyone use it yet. According to Reddit users, unravel.me.now’s earlier TikToks stated she envisions the app being able to create libraries stored on that app and to have version of “Spotify wrapped”. That implies that eventually data collection must happen, if it’s not happening currently.

I don’t know the actual capabilities of this app. I don’t know the legalities. I do know that it personally feels like this app is trying to turn AO3 into a content generation source and I haven’t heard of the app allowing you to leave a comment or kudos or interact with the original work.

I’m just sad about this.

Masters & Apprentices - ♌

Sagittarius Aiolos & Aiolia, as per Episode G’s canon.

But in order to not break the series’ vibe, there is a little Kaiser cameo.

The painting process will be posted on my Youtube channel!

Preview of the fic I'm working, will be done editing end of this month

Iru sipped his lavender and wallflower lukewarm tea from his purple teacup, his lips shivers against the warmth. Observing his universe, everything’s excellent, they follow their fate what Supreme Kai Iru made them to do. All according to plan. Putting his teacup down on a small side table, his eyes reflects a darkest colour and a fear - void black. A smirk mirroring a crescent, his fingers playing against a craft in his mind, the one he masters quite well to ensure his universe does well to survive like a newly born baby; planning.

Floated up to very edge of the Kaioshin world where all Kais’ eyes could not make a clear image of their superior, really a faint star in their lilac sky. Black thick smoke absorbing his very body, hidden him in sight. A secret, it won’t be long. Soon, Iru’s hands themselves revealing a light inside, sliced up a misty crevasse where his head came out then his entire body follows. The black smoke disappeared out of nothingness. Iru did not acknowledged as such. Opened his hands like a prayer, his new creation came to be and landed on his hands with a plop.

Floated down back to his world, space, sat down on his chair with little noise besides a gentle sigh. Placed his new creation inside his chest for safekeeping. Took another sip of his teacup, still warm as the previous sip he took. Without moving his teacup, he summons two floating essentials near him, first, a bluish clear sphere displaying his destroyer and his angel. A rarity to observe them, but Iru has a reason, a rarity is now a regularity as he been observing them almost daily. What the sphere shows him:

Korn opening a wooden cupboard above his shoulders, taking a small basket of packets out. Fingers flicking each of them, eventually finding the one. From Korn’s frown, the correct assumption is the packet is empty. Iru cleared the sphere away, he does not need to see anymore. The Supreme Kai brings the calendar onto his lap, viewing the dates and past notes he written down before. He also, cleared this away from the sight.

Blinking his eyes to a friendly dark colour; he didn’t plan to freak the Kais out post-creation.

Happy birthday Shion

I almost fucking died making this for you

you're welcome

Ship meme:

Shura x Aphrodite x DM - OR Shura/DM, Aphro/DM and Aphro/Shura

Oh the seafood platter trio (🐐🐟🦀), I'm hungry nom nom

Send me a ship, and I’ll rate it:

Squick / Just nope / A trainwreck you can’t look away from / Mehh but they are bloody everywhere / Not interested but no negative feelings / I need to see how I could make it work / BroTP / Cute / I love them / They rented a room in my mind and are here to stay

I don't necessarily hate it, its more like I don't get it. I see them more as friends, good buddies or even rarely friends with benefits. I feel the trio will contain mostly manipulation and idk I sense a lack of chemistry between them as a romantic trio, but as a friendship, that is more more interesting to me, especially they know the corrupt system and how they have to participate because they know the half-truth, if they like it or not. (I like to the other three later on)

Alright, to ao3's soon to be arriving Wattpad Refugees, a basic guide to general user culture:

1.) Unlike Wattpads vote system that let's you like each chapter, the ao3 equivalent kudos only allows one per work. Everyone is generally quietly annoyed about this. To engage with each chapter, you're heavily encouraged to comment. Trust me, it makes people's day.

2.) Ao3 has no algorithm. By default it's latest updated work first. You can find things to your taste through searches, filters and tags.

3.) 'No archive warnings apply' and 'user has chosen not to use archive warnings' mean two very different things. No archives warnings means the work is free from any content that could require a warning tag (character death, graphic depictions of violence, non-con, etc). User has chosen not to use archive warnings means it could contain any of the warning content, be it hasn't been explicitly tagged. Treat it like an allergen. No archive warnings apply is allergen free. User has chosen not to use archive warnings, may contain traces or whole chunks of the allergen. If you're likely to have a bad reaction, maybe don't take the risk.

4.) Speaking of warnings, ao3 has very few restrictions on the type of work that's allowed. Whatever your personal thoughts or feelings on that are, thats how the site is. You're likely to run across some dark subject matters and a lot of people are uncomfortable with reading that. You're well within your rights not like these works and have your opinion on whether they should be allowed, but harassing the authors of such works (or any works) is more likely to come back on you than them. Ao3 operates on a strong policy of 'don't like, don't read'. Use the tagging system to your full advantage to only engage with the kind of works you want to see.

We look forward to welcoming you all and seeing the fantastic works you create. Happy writing!
