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.

Keep your furr babies safe!

Please share this and spread the message. Pet safety around the 4th of July is something too many people overlook because it just doesn’t occur to them. Keep them safe!

Transphobia annoyance

So if you’re a transphobe, ignore this. Keep scrolling, because I don’t wanna deal with your angry comments.

That said. I have a friend. A really good friend, let’s call him Starz. He’s trans. And while I sometimes am a little confused by the whole idea of trans people- I support him, because I know what he went through. And he’s one of my bestest friends.

So nothing ticks me off more when my mother refers to him as ‘she’ and ‘her’. I’ve told my mother Starz is a femboy- it’s a joke we have. And she’s said stuff like ‘well, then he still wants to be a she.’

Like… maybe. And Starz has told me issues he has with his own terrible mom. But he went through a ton of shit, and he transitioned to deal with it. He’s also pansexual. And I wholeheartedly support him, even if sometimes it doesn’t make sense.

So I guess what doesn’t make sense is why people can’t just acknowledge that people cope with traumatic things in different ways, and leave it alone.

Me desperately wanting somebody to ask me for a commission be like:

No but fr tho

Requests are open

see the pinned post if u wanna know what Ill do

I’ll update with specifics at a later time

I promise that anything I do will look better then this shit typing I’m doing rn
