IMO: people's willingness to endanger the entire fanfiction ecosystem for their own personal gain is a direct result of capitalism being a dick
first it makes us think of EVERYTHING in terms of economics, "productivity" and money, money, money
then it makes us desperate to make ends meet (#eattherich)
and then side-hustle culture convinces us that our hobbies are worthless unless they're monetized
so the math adds up and desperate people look at their empty pantries and then at their time-consuming hobbies that pay them nothing, and it's no fucking wonder they start asking "hey, can i perhaps make a buck off of that hobby to soothe the misery of this financial hellscape somewhat?"
and i get the impulse, truly i do, but the problem with fanfic is that YOU CAN'T DO THAT
fic is a labor of love and i'm sorry but it's not the answer to our monetary problems, because those problems will get a lot worse for you if you wind up fined into oblivion over copyright infringement
enough people start turning fanfic into a black market instead of a grey one and we'll get chased back underground and then your nice little side-hustle goes up in smoke along with the entire fanfiction community as a whole
allow me to remind us that capitalism is a goddamn liar, side-hustle culture is a trap, and:
you are allowed to have a hobby that isn't profitable
hobbies are not worthless if they don't generate cash flow
turning your hobby into a side hustle often saps the joy out of it
try finding joy through the act of creating, not through the money you might make doing it
good luck out there

Welp. It's official now.
I locked all of my fics on AO3.
If you don't have an AO3 account and enjoyed my writing as an anonymous guest, I'm very sorry. It's not a step I wanted to take. All I can say is that one too many AI related projects have been scraping the archive.
I share my writing out of joy and passion for stories and characters, hoping that it may spark joy and passion in others too or make their days a little brighter, not for some third party to steal my work and feed it into their shitty AI to make money by using other people's work without their consent.
I will also take this opportunity to remind you that if you put my writing into an AI to, idk, train a chat bot or get more "content", you are also feeding the AI with my work against my explicit wishes and consent. "It's just for me" or "it's only for private use" makes no difference here. It doesn't matter how the AI gets access to the work of others, it matters that it does when it shouldn't.
Let's not pretend that the people behind AI won't use the data you give it while using it privately as well; it's basically more free training data for them. These people were willing to steal once, they won't shy away from taking whatever else they can get.
I hope that I will soon feel comfortable unlocking my fics again because, again, that's how I prefer it.
