🚨 AO3 USERS, PLEASE READ AND SHARE.
Since the unexpected 4-week maintenance, multiple users have reported suspicious login attempts and even having their personal accounts stolen.
CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD NOW. Especially if you reuse it on other sites.
Please share this warning 🔐
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
No verified reports confirm multiple AO3 accounts stolen after the incident. OTW states it does not currently believe the user database was stolen but cannot rule it out and recommends changing reused passwords on other sites as precaution.

Some of the discourse around what happened with ao3 and the scrapped fics on sites MONETIZING THEM WITHOUT the author’s permission is making me lose faith in humanity.
Y’all realize that can get the WRITER in trouble, right? The writer who wasn’t trying to monetize SHIT.
This is why I have NEVER given anyone permission to post my shit elsewhere or translate it elsewhere.
Not enjoying this full blown daylight at 6:35 but complete and total darkness by 6 pm shit.
I forget about it every year and then I’m mad about it every year.

«знать что твой фик поднял кому-то настроение ценнее чем отзывы с кудосами» да как вы блять об узнаете без отзывов и кудосов. шпионская сеть? птичка на хвостике принесла? голоса в голове нашептали?
I am 31 and now understand that me “not being a morning person” or “being like a bear when just woken up” makes sense. Why it takes me an hour to feel like a functioning person.
Yay for being undiagnosed

What are we doing at this point
I’m going to summon the spirit of Wes Craven to do something about this.
Neve Campbell confirms she is returning for ‘SCREAM 8.’

Dear Diary,
It’s been 5 days since AO3 went down. The dark ages are hard already. Scratching in the walls and fires on every street corner. Likewise, continuing to write by candlelight. Will resort to using my own blood when the ink runs out. In hopes to eventually share again.
They can apologize all they want.
What they did was wrong, they knew it was wrong, and they did it anyway to try and make a quick buck.
Apology feels more like “fuck, I got caught” rather than genuine remorse.
Glad the slop site is gone, though.

also in case it wasn’t clear: i have no issue with my fics being shared as epubs or pdfs for reading or uploaded to drives for this purpose!!! my issue is with them being uploaded to sites for profit / ai-generated audiobooks bc 😀 what the fuck 😀
