World Heritage Post

all i do all day long is talk to myself about the stuff i know and pretend that i’m being interviewed. like ya know? sometimes i just want to be asked about my special interests like i’m on oprah and everyone’s dying to hear my answer.

Dooley: You know what true strength is?

Dooley: Forgiving someone who isn’t even sorry.

McQueen: Not to be dramatic but I would literally rather die.

OKAY GUYS. i’m in a need to engage with special interest or i might die kind of mood. i’m gonna go read this magazine i have about beauty and the beast. but if anyone wants to send asks about Anything (batb 2017, adam and belle, OCs (their kids), maurice, my connection TO beauty and the beast) that would just be really dandy! no pressure though i’m just tossing it out there. hope everyone is having a pleasant june 1st!

Anyone else got this kind of message on AO3?

As a naturally suspicious person this is screaming SCAM at me and I want to see if anyone else agrees or has experienced this.

I've literally had these word for word on fanfiction.net. I reported and blocked every time. Not had it on AO3 yet, but 100% scammy AF.

Agreed, I've gotten this word for word on FFN, and I suspect a real person hasn't even written this ('strong character developments' and 'showcased the most remarkable writers' 'collaborating with our platform will have endless possibilities' do these feel like AI phrasing to anyone else? They're comprehensible, but don't feel like something a persuasive person would say to other writers).

Notwithstanding anything else, it's massively demoralizing to get a new comment or PM on a fanfiction site, open it up to see that it's multiple paragraphs-- and then find out it's this bullshit. It's like predisposing recipients towards being REALLY unhappy and resentful, IMO.

I got this message today on AO3 as did a few other authors. I realized it was spam right away, but hopefully people who see this will realize that’s all it is.

It is a scam. And they have a really shady contract plus super shady recruitment (it's basically a copy/paste of the above) where they won't tell you anything about the job/pay until you sign the contract and already locked in.

This is a really good thread about how shady/scummy these people are

As a car mechanic, I can safely say, I don't understand the gay agenda. 

I do however, understand the trans mission.

My wife said, “The Last of Us is a strange show, don’t you agree?”

Me: Yeah, but I’ve seen Stranger Things on Netflix.
