Warning: I'm gonna turn into a real bitch here for a minute
1- "archive salvation" and you people tell writers we are conceited lmao
2- can you guys really not wait a couple of weeks? Or a month at worst? Really. Like if Ao3 was GONE gone then yeah, things would be different

did it?? good lol and oh I believe they 110% had bad intentions. I mean...appearing randomly right after the ao3 data breach? Asking for people's personal info/bank accounts??? Yeahhhh they just are trying to play innocent because of getting busted lol

i mean we all already knew that the general public sees writing fanfic as a cringy and largely valueless hobby for weirdos but it’s been kinda funny to see that the vast majority of people on this website who literally read it on the regular also think that
moans retweeted
also everyone needs to shut up about anne rice because none of you even know what you’re fucking talking about, she wasn’t the only author who had issues with fanfic and I find it misogynistic that she’s the only one who has been turned into this huge fandom bogeyman
moans retweeted
she doxxed people and scared fanfic writers with legal threats to the point they deleted her entire category. i can’t think of another author sending cease and desists. they just vocally disapprove. she took down entire communities.

Playing the victim after three days of harassing and dismissing every writer who expressed they didn't like their work reuploaded YOU CANNOT BE REAL
moans retweeted
Actually, do not delete your fics when the archive comes back on. Private them but don't take them off the site. Once deleted it becomes infinitely more difficult to prove authorship and thus more difficult to protect against scrapers, thieves, plagiarizers and the like

More Kim Dokja thoughts: He isn't one to verbalise affection.
Kim Dokja is a man who uses his words thoughtfully. He speaks well and when he wants, he speaks plenty. Yet, when it comes to vulnerability, he massively sucks at being open about it.
Kim Dokja isn't keen on saying that he loves someone, for sure. He's very good at expressing it subconsciously with his actions: by providing, guiding, giving gifts, and ultimately, sacrificing himself.
Kim Dokja can definitely acknowledge that he holds affection in some way for people. He understands that he feels deeply for someone. But he also feels that his feelings are atypical — he doesn't feel "love" like how the rest of the world professes to feel that sort of thing.
Kim Dokja feels like something is wrong with him, that he's not someone who's capable of a feeling like love, not for any individual in his life, and definitely not in the way he's supposed to be.
(Which is objectively not true. Feeling an emotion doesn't look just one way, you can feel an emotion in a completely different way than someone else. Kim Dokja is just a certified dumbass when it comes to vulnerability.)

"Kim Dokja, do you think there's another universe where we meet?"
She looked up at the man, whose eyes watched the night sky right above them. Han Sooyoung noted every dip and every curve of the face like it was her last time, pale skin illuminated by the moon and stars.

If you already did, don’t panic!! <3 I’d just stop sending them anything further. And if you reused that password anywhere else, change it there too, and turn on 2FA if you haven’t already.

as a platform — for example, issues involving mass scraping, misuse of AO3’s name/branding, interference with the Archive, or broader legal/technical concerns affecting the site and its users collectively.

Replying to @novvah_r
The distinction is basically between AO3 as a whole and individual fics.
OTW can’t file a copyright takedown on behalf of every individual author, because OTW does not own the copyright to our fanworks — we do.
But OTW can still take action where AO3 itself is affected +
The domain's current registration dates from Nov 1, three days after AO3 went down, yet the site claims 15.8 million works. You can't copy that from an AO3 that's offline: the content was already saved before this site appeared. 1/5
Replying to @7erracotta
Contact the domain host instead, you don't have to use your AO3 email, only provide proof of your ownership of the content and include all the offending links in one email.

It's a result of scraping, not a copy of AO3 itself. They are clearly using some dump (probably the one that was taken down from archiveorg) for older fics + scraping for newer works on top. If your fic existed in the dump or when they scraped it, it will be on the damn site

Uma coisa curiosa que eu percebi é que hoje mais cedo, eu pesquisei pelo meu nome e apareceu só 3 obras (eu tenho 7 obras postadas) e uma delais ainda estava incompleta (só 10 de 14 caps)
Fui olhar de novo, e agora tem 6 obras, e a que estava incompleta agora tem os 14 caps...

The site itself appears to have been active as far back as March of 2023 per the Wayback Machine (silently scraping in the meantime).
However, the fact they chose now to register their website domain (so shortly after AO3's security incident) is INCREDIBLY sus:

quick links.
contact otw
transformativeworks.org
they are our legal defense when it comes to fanfics
contact their host services:
abuse@spaceship.com
alert them that one of their sites is being used to monetize copyrighted material illegally
contact their transaction provider:
legal@dodopayments.com
CC as well: support@dodopayments.com
zo3life's payment processor is dodopayments.
write to them that their services are being used inappropriately.
invoke your rights. note that ao3life is stating that authors are getting 91% of profits when you have not consented or known about this.
taking down payment options will kill this site the fasts

Report the domain, website, whatever, even with ao3s lawyers possibly looking into it, submitting a report could probably help speed up the website getting taken down
