Heya! Just Wanted To Say That The Atomicheart Person Is Most Likely A Scammer. They Have Another Username

heya! just wanted to say that the atomicheart person is most likely a scammer. they have another username "fancystudentyouth" who is blocking people who are calling their scam out. they stole the information in their ask from another gofundme called "Gaza emergency: Help evacuate my family in gaza" but i don't know if that gofundme has been verified here

Thanks for informing me!

I originally posted because I had been reached out to via asks, but now that I’m aware that the person behind the account is a scammer, I’ll take the posts down.

Apologies to anyone who ended up falling for the scam, like me.

I’ll try my best to avoid something like this in the future, but if anything like this happens again and I don’t notice, tell me!

Calling this version of Mr. Puzzles, mini Puzzles because I think it fits :)

“-OVER AND OVER!”

I have so many thoughts and feelings about this movie, it’s actually driving me up a wall.

Working my way backwards through everything bit by bit and this is one of them that I think will hurt more upon eventual rewatch.

Yet another AO3 bot situation - please spread the word!

Hi, it's me again, the person who wrote that viral post about fanfiction plagiarism! Today I'm here to warn you about abuse perpetrated by bots who have stolen AO3 usernames.

There's currently an epidemic of bots going around leaving (apparently random) horrible, hateful comments on people's fics. This isn't the first time bots have invaded AO3, but the big problem with this wave is that they're using real AO3 usernames to do it.

I learned about this when another writer contacted me after receiving the following comment on their story:

Now, while that is my username, I DEFINITELY did not leave this comment (and anyone who would leave something like that on a fic should be slapped! What an awful thing to post). This fic is in a completely unrelated fandom that I have never participated in, nor has that author participated in any of my fandoms, so the probability of it being some intentional fandom drama thing to make me look bad is also low.

The writer whose fic the comment was left on enlisted the aid of some friends and tracked down other guest comments with unrelated usernames attached, which is pretty strong evidence that they are being left by bots at random.

The TL;DR: If you receive a cruel comment from a (Guest) with an actual AO3 username attached, it's most likely from a bot. Please do not lash out at or dogpile the AO3 user who owns that name, and who in all likelihood has no idea that their name has been hijacked for evil.

If finding this kind of comment on a fic, even left by a bot, is likely to upset you, I would recommend changing your comment settings so that only users who are logged in can leave comments. To do this, edit your story settings, and under "Privacy," select the radio button that says "Only registered users can comment," as shown below.

Please spread the word to other AO3 users! And if you see mean guest comments on other fics, maybe let the author know that it's probably from a bot and not a real person who thinks their writing is bad.

Hello everyone, been having a little trouble deciding on the next thing to work on in between an upcoming post and the Mr. Puzzles comic

Here’s a quick poll to vote on about what you would like me to draw next!

i don’t have the heart to finish the rest of this poem in my journal…come back. steal all the flowers. come back, just come back…
