Fixations on fictional subjects in the form of rants, writing prompts, head canons, and so on. We'll see where this leads us. (They/Them) (The banner is from r/place 2023)I make impulsive posts because I get struck with ideas late at night and don't schedule my posts because I like seeing my mistakes in real time /hj.

just an outsider in the end. / Assassination Classroom (Fic Rec)
Summary:
"Look, I really didn't mind the fact that I died and reincarnated into Ansatsu Kyoushitsu. I didn't really mind that you gave me a hole in the heart. That was a real dick move, but I didn't complain. So god, Void, whatever, I'm sorry I punched a student. Please recall my demotion into Class E. Please, the moon literally just exploded and I don't wanna be there!"
Kuma-sensei did not belong here. He knew better than anyone else that he was just an outsider.

im not a person who often reads self-insert stuff. but. this hit me in the feels. and my eyes hurt from how much ive been crying.
and it feels really, fitting honestly? and i really appreciate this fic. go give it some love
(also there are some references to the KHR world. Katekyou Hitman Reborn if you don't know. apparently its like, timeline wise, assassination classroom ends, and THEN KHR happens, which isn't dug into because oc does not want to get into the mafia business whatsoever. you do not need knowledge of it to understand what happens because it doesn't take that much space in the fic itself, but there might be some references you dont understand that the oc will turn a blind eye that might sound weird. like. um. zombies with chains for example lmfao)

Fanfic Thieves on Youtube
A collection of youtube channels have been uploading preexisting fanfictions in videos with little to no credit to the original authors. These are not podfics, these channels copy-paste the fics into text-to-speech readers then upload the unaltered audio over static or unrelated backgrounds, either art that is also stolen or mobile game footage. In addition to not naming the authors, they alter the title to make it that much harder for readers to recognize or find the original uploads. Some go so far as to pretend they themselves are creating the fics in question. Many claim that their stealing actually helps give fics "exposure" despite the intentional steps they take to conceal the origins of the fics they profit off of. However, this practice has lead many authors to discontinue fics after the frustration of having their hard work stolen. Many of these channels claim they will remove videos upon request, but will either argue with the author in order to keep it up, or simply unlist the video for a time until they think the author isn't paying attention anymore. And their solution to receiving strikes against their channels in the past has been to further obfuscate the origins of their content instead of even considering asking first.



”I got caught stealing, so instead of not stealing anymore, I’m doubling down on stealing even more so it’s harder for people to find out and prove I’m stealing. Stealing doesn't count if the specific person I stole from didn't call me out. I am the real victim.”
That, plus the incessant tag scumming in all the videos (spamming unrelated tags in order to appear in more search results) proves to me that these are lazy attention seekers who don't want to put in creative effort when they could just leech off of the passion of others.
In order to report them, go to their channel's "About" page and click the flag icon. Said icon might be behind the three dots in the top bar on mobile. Go to "Report User" at the bottom and tick the "spam and scams" button. This will allow you to list multiple videos as offenders instead of reporting them individually. Youtube's policy states that video spam constitutes:
Massively uploading content that you scraped from other creators.
Auto-generated content that computers post without regard for quality or viewer experience.
If you recognize one of your fics among the stolen, say so in the additional comments box, and perhaps call out the channel directly in the video's comments. If you recognize someone else's fic, please let the original author know so they can report the channel as well. Many have been confronted for stealing previously and refuse to admit wrongdoing.
Most of what I've found has been My Hero Academia fics since that's my fandom and those are the ones I can recognize as stolen, but there are many other channels that steal from other fandoms, so I invite anyone and everyone to reblog this with their own findings.
The reality is that this extremely low-effort content and new youtube channels are both very easy to make, so most likely they'll start new channels once the ones on this list are run through. But hopefully, if we all work together and keep whacking these moles, perhaps we can instill that same defeatism they caused so many creators who didn't deserve it, and eventually they'll give up.
My sincerest thanks to everyone who helped bring additional channels to my attention. A special thanks to ao3 user InArduisFidelis who brought the initial attention to the issue, and @owlf45 whose work was stolen.

WTFW - Claims to have "[A] team of talented writers, voice actors, and artists work together to create immersive fan fiction stories that are sure to captivate your imagination."

weebxds - Same again.

ItachiFanfics - Naruto channel, we can at least confirm that this one is run by a human given the rare different descriptions and a real voice at the beginning of videos before the robot comes back.
https://www.youtube.com/@ItachiFanfics/about
WhatIfDN - As if mockingly, a bunch of videos have a "credit" section in their descriptions that is of course blank.

SpiceandBooks and spiceandfiction - Apparently Youtube itself has started picking up on the bullshit, because this multifandom channel is being dinged as ai spam so they started a new one.

on laughter-silvered wings by ThatOnePlatypus | HP x KHR | Harry-is-Skull
It's a Harry Potter x Katekyo Hitman Reborn series, where of course, Harry is Skull. I found it very relaxing to read, and it's probably gonna have a special place in my heart as one of those really wholesome and fluffy and funny moments (especially with the second work. moments just for the sake of moments. no crazy stuff, not necessarily any progression or big stuff, but like. very enjoyable.) its different from like, when i run into a really good story (that's probably a long one) and get attached to characters. i basically live and breathe in the same world? its different. but it was honestly a breath of fresh air in comparison to the many 'harry is skull angst' because of the arcobaleno treating him like shit? and while i am all for bashing of any kind, sometimes its just. nice to just not pay it any mind? and focus on bonds and stuff like that.
it felt like. it could be a way of moving on, i guess? like there's been many iterations of harry potter i've seen. and it could've very easily had a grieving harry, but no its become more then that. and i really appreciate that? and i adored it.
not lingering too much on the sad parts. not necessarily moving forward and past that but like, not letting it drag you down. not letting it make or break your world. it was nice.
what if in the future
you ever think that one day a long time in the future someone could discover a fictional book and think it was real? well with technology and turning everything digital its unlikely but like.
what if someone mistook fiction as reality??? like looking in as an outsider and unaware of everything, finds a book and doesnt know its fake
like. especially the more immersive ones? like. rick riordan writes it like he's been given a task and writing it either for the demigod (i remember there was like a warning to turn back at the start in the percy jackson books.) or it 'is' the demigod doing the writing (cue kane chronicles i think, where it was written like it was carter and sadie doing the writing)
or. the shadowhunter codex or whatever its name was. acts as i think a canon guide for shadowhunters. and theres written notes in it? like. theres the 'official' text. and then in pen and markers you can see characters making notes within it, or responding to other characters.
this all comes from a random thought i had. of 'what if mythology was just a fictional story someone wrote that we now think is real?' or. like. whatever people do with myths.
Like idk man. Although it probably didn't start out as a fictional story considering I'm pretty sure there used to be temples and stuff worshipping the gods and stuff like that so. Just a random thought.
i have a confession
I play Hogwarts Mystery. also this event has literally just been entirely of this mf, and hes also crashing my date, like DUDE WE GET IT and the thing is is that like during the when you do the task thing, i dont know the name, but literally every single one with lockhart gives you EIGHT HOURS. which means it takes up so much more energy, i literally spent my hard-earned gems just to get energy and speed up the process because oh my god i didnt want to look at his face
this is like the valentines event thing. HE IS SO OBNOXIOUS that even if i didnt know he was a fraud id STILL hate him.

i just like progression. i like doing and collecting stuff in games. (to those who havent seen the game, you get gems from completing stuff. like from learning spells or doing events and stuff.)
admittedly i think its pretty lucky i never actually ended up watching the movies cause i know i wouldve HATED him so much in film that id probably stop paying attention (which, kudos to the actor man. probably takes guts to be the role of one of the most hated characters in harry potter, with the exception of the toad)
soulmates
i think the idea of soulmates irl is a cool idea, but also im like pretty sure it was made for those pining mfs who struggle so hard to communicate, either in denial or scared of rejection or something. and then they still miscommunicate like 'ohh what if my soulmate doesnt like me' and its just AGHHH so its like. even if you get a hint to who your supposed beloved is theres still gonna be struggles to communicate that it might as well not even be there (or like, god what if someone pretends to be your soulmate but theyre a lying liar??)
but im in love with it, even more then wingfics or catfics or kidfics. i havent actually written anything with it though because i never remember to. and because i usually dont have a desire to write something that focuses specifically on a ship. im more likely to do some sort of angsty pairing where one dies or some shit (have you SEEN those wc/dc fics with dick/wally where you get like a mark when your soulmate is dead or something, so dick just has this lightning 'tattoo' spread across his body. and then wally comes back to life so theres that impossible moment where the tattoo undoes itself and everyones so shocked?? ..probably not.)
THIS IS IT, THIS IS THE FIC IM TALKING ABOUT, AND I HAVENT FORGOTTEN IT
