aye

Me when I see a beautiful fic but it uses a first person pov:

LIKE PLEASE DON'T USE “I” 😭😭😭😭

put down that c.ai thing and read y/n fics like god intended.

Pinterest in your email: you stupid fat fucking cunt. It’s you again huh. We literally just deleted another disgustingly vile and heinous post that YOU pinned. Doesn’t matter that it’s not originally yours. You interacted with it didn’t you? Didn’t you fatty? We don’t allow this despicable behavior. You’re sick. Please take some of your precious fucking jobless time to go through your tacky Pins and remove any that may conflict with our pristine policies or we may take further action against your flop account. God I wanna fucking kill you.

Thanks,

The Pinterest Team

I'm so glad to see AO3 making it absolutely clear that none of these things are allowed to even be HINTED at.

Here's some of the language from the new post about AO3's police on commercial promotion:

-

There is a wide variety of things that are not allowed under AO3's non-commercialization rules.

Any other language which one might interpret as requesting or having requested financial contributions, whether for yourself or others. This covers indirect references, euphemisms, or other language intended to get around the TOS. Some examples of this include:

Solicitation is not allowed, whether it's for yourself or on behalf of someone else.

#as writers we CANNOT make any money off of our fic#we could endanger our entire ecosystem of authors#does no one remember the Anne Rice stuff#we do our work out of passion and for free. if you want to make money off of your writing DONT WRITE FANFICTION <- prev

Alas, I'm fairly sure a lot of the people whining about not being able to force capitalism into their hobby probably weren't born yet when Anne Rice was sending lawyers after and doxxing fanwriters for violating her copyright. *takes a heavy drink of water like it's bourbon* I feel old.

AO3's structure is of a nonprofit, noncommercial library of fair use transformative works. it is not a market or vendor space, and so they cannot allow commercial works to be hosted there.

if you WANT to make money off of your fanfiction, you can assume the legal liability for doing so on another site, such as wattpad, patreon, etsy, bluesky, facebook, etc. they are different sites that aren't nonprofit archives of fair use transformative works, and they have different regulations.

they also will not protect you from any legal actions against you.

AO3 has lawyers, which protect their users and their archive from copyright claims, specifically under fair use laws that guarantee that because none of the works had been made for money, none of the works could be prosecuted as copyright infringement, since they weren't competitive with the source material's owners.

you can't have your cake and fuck it, too. you can't use AO3's structure in ways that specifically endanger AO3's explicit mission, terms of service, and operating parameters.

either you follow the rules, or you go somewhere with different rules, or you break the rules and get kicked out when you're caught.

The Disney prince to the father of my children pipeline needs to be studied.

i actually don’t give a fuck that transvestigation laws “will end up impacting cis women too” it should be enough that they impact trans women. you should care about that on its own actually.
