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.

Happy birthday Shion

I almost fucking died making this for you

you're welcome

Crikey! I’m gobsmacked that kawaii anime girl is cultured in British slang. Good for her, innit.

(Thanks @song-of-amethyst mate)

the japanese “-ne?” particle and the british slang term “innit” serve the same function

Highly Specific Ship Ranking

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

Ship Meme: DoShi

@floaromaxtowns I'm glad you didn't forget about them this time, our gay fossil ancestors, they are the one who started this all xD Send me a ship, and I’ll rate it:

The best part about this pairing that I can see them as best friends (besties for centuries) and as romantic partners at the same time. They have a good understanding of one other and they are each other's only link to their past, their struggles, their trauma and their faith on the Sanctuary and their love manages to survive just like them. But they are also so so funny, as well as I see them slightly kinky and unhinged af, they have no filter and why not their shared hobby is roast the young saints. Slightly kinky and I like to think they treat their peace after revival like a honeymoon. They deserved it af.
