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)
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." Just the same test-to-speech stolen content over videogames. So straight up lying claiming that everything is theirs (and that anything they make is quality).

weebxds - Same again.
https://www.youtube.com/@weebxds/about
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.
https://www.youtube.com/@WhatIfDN/about
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.

made up a jujutsu technique for a fic
haha havent posted in a hot minute. forgot i had this account acutally.
anyway im writing a jjk crossover, and im so stuck on Fontaine and Furina's story you can see its influenced it a lot. its not a genshin crossover though lmfao. i still have the dialogue memorized. "For the sinner, the curtain call has come."
this is also influenced by. well. MANGA SPOILERS (for like the. preparation arc whatcha ma call it? post-shibuya). but. you know. that guy who when he hits like the jackpot he gets like. basically immortal for as long as like i think the theme song lasts?? but he can like, keep triggering more of like th thingies so if hes really lucky iirc, he could keep going on and on?
(Melpomene, the innate technique where he’d put on a ‘mask’ and perform for an invisible audience. Effects vary depending on the type and/or popularity points gained. Unable to be harmed when this is in effect, however in turn, making an error such as going off script, messing up, or being boring/unsatisfying will grant him punishment.
Alternatively, if he goes off script or does an action not in the performance but making it entertaining will grant him bonus points with the audience. This can include attacks against enemies, especially with the use of cursed energy and whatever weapon he has, however messing up will of course provide consequences.
Think of it as a judgement scale but based on audience reaction. Horrible performances leave him ‘sentenced’. One of those sentences include the death sentence (more likely to be triggered by a shameful defeat, where he’s facing an opponent so overpowering that the audience isn’t happy. When it happens, the blade of a guillotine will rise above his head, and he will perform [The Curtain Call], dancing his last moments away, before finally lowering his head, bowing to the audience, and decapitating himself), the risk granting him more power then otherwise.
When giving what could be considered a perfect performance (very rare), he will trigger [Apotheosis], automatically forming a domain named [Sinner’s Finale] with a sure-hit factor, where the opponent is on the stage, facing the judgement of the audience.
Like all domains, if the opponent is strong enough, [Sinner’s Finale] will fail, and [technique user, im not giving away who] will get punished in their stead, triggering [The Curtain Call]. The risk of [Sinner’s Finale] however boosts him to where it is very unlikely that it’ll happen, as most strong opponents will get the idea of what conditions he needs to trigger and thus prevent him from performing a perfect performance.
He cannot use Domain Expansion otherwise however.)
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.
jimmy didnt die first this series (secret life) i think
ayooo
2. SCAR WON YEAHHHH
anyway i really dont watch that many peoples povs so i dont really know what else to try to predict. so i guess thats it haha
Next Life Series Hopes and Kinda thoughts?
Honestly? I hope Scar wins the next life series, and while others could probably win too, I think it just kinda makes sense in a way?
The first one with Desert Duo, Grian won.
2nd had Scott winning, and the 3rd had Pearl, in which those two were a pair this season, and this season too Grian and Scar were a pair again, meaning out of those two pairs Scar still needs a win.
Also kinda hope Jimmy isn't the first to die though? It would be funny, but like, it can only go so long until it's tiring to both parties.
I wouldn't mind someone else winning though, but Scar does a lot, he's not completely oblivious, and he has potential, and I think I'd like it if he could show it and finally win, even if it were him and Grian teamed again [though I doubt it] and Grian was mainly seen as the one who helped him get there, because Scar still would've had to do something to get there, and I think he really needs that.
