Does anybody else just go to fanfic.net when ao3 is down?
I need an identity reveal fic where peter is pepper Potts cousin (Or Tony's cousin but im for some reason drawn to the Pepper idea)
Reblogging for awareness because this is very important, so that every ao3 author can make an informed decision. I'm still on the fence on locking my fics to only registered accounts at this moment. But thought to share for more awareness. The reddit forum has more info as well: click here
I feel like this needs to be warned about. Everything on Ao3 that isn't set to private, HAS been data scraped and fed to 3 data sites that provide data for AI training, including writing and artwork.
Yes, this includes my entire Ennead series and everything else I've ever written and posted. As well as anything you all have written but not made private.
Ao3's legal team is fighting it and one site has made the data unavailable, but the other two aren't based in the USA so the fight is harder.
This is frustrating and upsetting news, especially for those of us who now need to pick between our Guest readers who have supported us for a long time and protecting the hard work that we've put our hearts and souls into and I just ask that we support each other and our choices during this time.
The link here has more details but from now on, until I can be sure there's a way to protect my work, which I've spent decades writing and planning, my stories will be posted for members of the site only.
