#reposted because the timing changed
Text
i also don’t want to portray myself as faultless. my work isn’t ai and it isn’t copied. but nk will say i Had old pieces that were copied and referenced ai. Yet it isn’t good faith when i apologize, state how i took accountability, and explain thats definitely not the case today because i learned my lessons- to respond with well you made these mistakes in the past so how can i believe you, you are lying, and have not changed.
so i quit. how can i prove myself then besides what i mentioned in the last post. my question is will you even ALLOW me to prove myself. each time i must explain, i place a spotlight on something that was resolved agreeably with the artists, resolved by removing the works, and resolved within myself by learning from it. but by not saying something i also allow You to concoct narratives and have to watch people spread them around and come to me demanding apologies. it is a very uncomfortable very distressing process that has worn me down completely.
never mind that other artists who have copied have not nearly been requested to apologize as much as i have been. never mind that they were forgiven when they removed the works or even when they just say sorry and don’t remove the work at all. But you still choose to hound me afterwards for doing just that?
nk has stated that i have not fixed this. and that i must address it. how many times though? for how long also? who on this planet starts the conversation by recounting all their mistakes, especially when they know they are resolved.
i have had to learn my lessons through cruelty like yours. trust me its a trauma i have to bear and they are not lessons you then forget.
my anger and my feelings of defeat come from the fact that even after nk was still talking like i had not even attempted to make progress. just look at your tone here.
#im going to fking throw up this is the last time i will ever say this#do not come begging to be for another apology i am done#i will never address this issue again okay#i need to say this because no matter what when i see people supporting me now i feel guilty#i recognize it is just because i hate myself#it is because i havent accepted i made mistakes#but i cant accept it because people cant accept it#i cant accept it and i cant move on#and that is why i think its best to leave art#i cant make work i am proud of anymore#i dont want to list names of artists#but i will say that when king chris reposted my work without credit i viewed it the same as when i referenced other artists work#but there was no callout no request even from the comments for credit#and he has millions of followers#i felt like i could not stand up for myself because i have this history#because of this history i can never properly defend myself i feel i must always kneel to it#even though i have changed and realized i was wrong i still have to acknowledge it always

saw an anti posting about how (quote)"proshippers who "borrow" posts from antis give james somerton vibes... the "p" in proshipper stands for plagiarism i guess"(/quote)
like. buddy i think theres at least a LITTLE bit of a difference between "stealing someone's writing about important and sensitive subject(s) and profiting off of it in their stead" vs "copying and pasting someone's tumblr post in order to remove the borderline hate speech at the bottom of it in order to make others feel more welcome in their community"
#boxes full of rambles#not fandom#proship#proshippers please interact#anti anti#antis dni#proselfship#proselfshipping#proship selfship#anti-anti#i dont think antis realize why bad things are bad tbh#like. the vast majority of the time. plagiarism is bad because you're taking someone else's work that they should be earning money from#and 1. taking complete credit for it; and 2. earning the profit from it that the original creator should be earning#and like. im sorry but i dont think youre earning any money from ''imagine your f/o'' posts#and you DO receive credit via the acknowledgement that the reposter didn't write the post themselves (albeit anonymously)#so quite literally. legally. it isn't plagiarism. its just as much plagiarism as using someone else's art as your pfp is#or using someone else's art on your pinned post or whatever#also there are actual changes made to these posts when theyre reposted: WE REMOVE THE FUCKING DEATH THREATS AND SUICIDE BAITING.#so yeah no not plagiarism. antis go fuck yourself challenge 2kforever#go enjoy things that dont involve harming real people over your shitty puritanical opinions regarding blorbo from OUR shows

Happy 5th birthday to my dear OC, Sei ♥
#my art#illustration#original character#oc | seijaku#world | luxenvalice#sentimental rambling in the tags#my dearest girl!! light of my life!! the only reason i get out of bed sometimes!!!!#she was drawn earlier than Feb 14 2019 - but that is the date she was first posted to ToyHouse#and so that is the date she was probably truly solidified in my mind as an OC that was going to stay#Do you ever have an OC and don't realize how much of you - the creator - is in that OC?#realizing stupidly late that this is why it bothered me immensely when people took art involving her to repost#I still feel kinda gross posting personal art because of it but#that's why my watermark is a little more annoying now#Anyway it feels like a lifetime has passed from her starting off as a BNHA OC#Don't remember anymore why I made the conscious decision to watch the show when I always had and still have trouble starting/finishing medi#but while I don't keep up with it anymore - it did result in me creating her#first as a student character and then changing her immediately when I saw a certain villain loool#there was a lot more I was going to say down here but the internet has cut out#So for now I'll just end with...#thanks for your time if you read this 💕#and I look forward to doing more with this character in Genshin and other fandoms#and ofc the collab story she is involved in 😌

btw with the whole ai scraping thing going on, i just wanna point out that now more than ever art reposting is a massive deal. there is really nothing stopping someone from reuploading everything for the sole purpose of putting your things into the training. even if you think your art isnt "worth much," it's worth enough for these guys to want to replicate it because they see your skill
if you see it, report it and tell the original artist if you arent the op. DONT reblog it tho, never reblog stolen art just to dunk on someone. dont give them the attention. tbh i dont even know if reporting stolen art works but i do it lmao. and if you're an art reposter here just know that i personally hate your guts lmao
#the thing i see about art reposting all the time is ''why would someone steal my art it isnt good enough''#maybe your art isnt the best in the world. but no one's art is THE BEST that's not how art works#your art has more effort than what they're willing to put in. you have more than they ever will#dont let them use you just because you dont see your own worth as an artist#whether it's just run-of-the-mill reposting or ai replication. dont let them use you like that#we gotta do something about this im losing my mind man#i dont know what to do other than have hope that it'll work out and if we yell loud enough something might change#chat

WAIT WHERES MIM?!?! PLEASE TELL ME YOU’LL RELEASE THAT ONE AGAIN PLEASE
I need you guys to understand that the reason I took down my stuff was for my own peace of mind because they're my stories and i started feeling unsafe having them out because of how they - and I - were being treated.
absolutely nothing is wrong with mim and I love that fic and I care so much about it which is why - for my peace of mind - i want it to belong to only me rn. I know the fic was only out a month after i finished it and that really upsets me about taking it down. i want to reupload it because i know people like the fic and i love sharing my stuff but also there's that level of how much the fic matters to me and how much more devastating it makes it when people are cruel. and how much it hurts when I, as the creator of something, am treated like I don't matter at all and that my stuff can so easily be stolen or copied. like, it's an extension of me, yknow? You can't separate content and creator in such a small and intimate sphere as fandom. like, you guys all use my first name when referring to me, yknow?? there's that sense of connection. and since it's such an intimate space, having that trust be betrayed or disrespected is so much more potent than if we were in a large fandom with a lot of creators.
the fear of having MiM copied is really immense and real for me rn and i know that's potentially me being overly paranoid but considering the Amount of times this has started to happen - and how blatantly rude and nasty and entitled readers have been getting with me and other creators over the last year - it's definitely not out of the realm of possibility.
MiM wasn't written for readers, it was written for me. and i shared it because i wanted to and that was wonderful. but to have any of my stuff stepped on so much just doesn't make me feel very safe in this fandom space rn and makes it hard to let people have access to something that matters so much to me.
I'm not saying MiM has been deleted forever, I'm just saying i want some more time for it to be mine.
#like i thought about not uploading scene 14 too especially bc she HAS been stolen verbatim before but.#at this point it just feels too late bc so many people have already read it#yeah i have a lot of conflicting feelings and im not saying i'll never repost mim but i just need some more time with her yknow????#like she matters a *lot* to me. and im allowed to be a little finicky with her#and this has been just so. immensely hurtful lately#like i spent most of the weekend crying my eyes out over this stuff because it's just so. hard. to consistently share things#and *have* consistently shared things for three years#and to actively *see* the change that's been occuring in this fandom where people just started treating content like it was consumable#and dispensable. and then started just *expecting* things from me and demanding fics or being pointblank rude and like...#i just dont have time for it yknow??#this stuff is supposed to be *fun*. i do it in my free time and share it with strangers for free bc i want to share the fun with others#and when people start disrespecting that. it makes it hard#like ive had so much more fun in the last week writing fic solely for myself and *not* sharing it than i have in. like. the last month#bc whenever i share fic publicly now. i know im going to have to deal with people potentially stealing it.#or not giving a shit about it and just asking when the next thing is coming. or going on twitter and ? talking about me publicly#where i cant even see it#like it's just been *so* many things lately. and it's hard when this is something i should only be doing to make me happy.#and it's been causing me sm stress instead.#and the fact that i took a week off tumblr and like. i got several pretty?? shitty asks?? that really undermined my feelings on everything.#and made it about themselves like#i dont know how to explain to you guys that we're all people and the whole point of fandom is to *share* with each other#not take.#so yeah i want to be able to share my stuff again and feel comfortable doing that but right now i just dont#and im gonna. get off my soapbox now ok <3#the biggest thing is that. people act so overly familiar with me by calling me jess in asks and comments and acting like they know me#and then somehow. they are also so mean and devaluing of me? i cant really make sense of it.#ok enough of me. talking about myself. and venting#pigeon#anon

#y'all i am so tired of people stealing my gifs#i've never watermarked my gifs because i don't like the way it looks#but honestly it's fucking ridiculous how quickly people grab them and repost#and then the utter exhaustion i feel when someone's repost gets more notes than my original post that i actually spent time making#and i've been in fandom a long time and i know it is inevitable#but it is so demoralizing#to be clear- i did ask the people i've encountered doing this to stop but odds are they probably won't even respond#i think i'm just gonna go work on my fic today#though i've had those stolen with names changed and then reposted to other fandoms before too so who knows#srry i am just not in a great space mentally rn and needed to vent#will delete this later#td

AO3 Etiquette -UPDATED
Based on both decent and not so decent replies, I have made some changes to my original post below.
It would seem a whole new kind of AO3 reader/writer is emerging and it is becoming clear not everyone quite understands how the website community works. Here is some basic guidance on how most people expect you to go about using AO3 to keep this a fun community archive that funtions correctly:
As well as likes, kudos is for when the story was interesting enough to make you finish reading. If it sucked or was badly written, you probably left. If you finished it, you liked it - so kudos.
If you really liked it, you should try to comment. It can be long and detailed or a literal keysmash. Writers don't care, we just love comments.
No critisism unless the author has specifically asked or agreed to hear it (so use your notes to say if you want some constructive feedback). Even constructive critisism is a no-no unless an author note tells you it's okay. No, posting it online is not an open invitation for that. Many people write as a fun hobby or a way to cope with, among other things, insecurity and just want to share. Don't ruin that for them. I've seen so many authors just stop writing coz they can't handle the negative emotions the critism brings, and it's only meant to be a fun thing shared for free (pointing out tagging errors is not included in this).
Do not comment to ask the author to write/update something else. It's tacky and off-putting and will probably have the opposite effect than the one you want.
There is no algorithm, it's an archive. Use the search and filter function to add/remove the pairings/characters/tropes etc. you want to read about and it will find you the fics that fit the bill.
For this to work, writers must tag and rate stories. This avoids readers finding the wrong things and missing the stuff they want. I don't care how cringy that trope is in your eyes - it gets tagged.
The tag exception is if you don't want to tag a million things or spoil your story, you can rate it as "chose not to use warnings," and maybe tag the bare minimum.
Don't censor tags. How can someone exclude a tag if the word isn't typed out correctly? There are no content bans for terms so don't censor them.
If the tags are mostly content/trigger warnings, especially if they are things considered very fucked up or graphic, you might want to use "dead dove - do not eat" to ensure people know that you're not messing around with tags and what they get is exactly what you've warned them about.
Character A/Character B means a ROMANTIC or SEXUAL relationship of some kind. Character A&Character B is PLATONIC, like friendship or family.
Nothing is banned. This is an rule because banning one thing is a slipperly slope to banning another and another, until nothing is allowed anymore. Do not expect anyone to censor for you. Because of the tags system, you are responsible for your own reading experience.
People can create new chapters and sequels/fic series any time after they "complete" a story. So it's considered perfectly normal to subscribe, even to a finished story. You can even subscribe to the author instead just to cover your bases.
Do not repost stories or change the publishing date without an extremely good reason (like a complete top to bottom rewrite or an exchange youve written for going public). It's an archive, not social media. No one cares what's the most recent, only what fits their tag needs.
Instead of deleting a story you wrote if you hate it - consider making it anonymous or orphaning it so others can still enjoy it, without it being connected to your name anymore. If you still want to delete it, fair enough.
It's come to my attention that metaworks ARE allowed on AO3, which is something I wasn't aware of. So if you do post an essay or theory, please tag it as such so others can choose to search for it or exclude it. Art is also allowed.
The only reason this archive works is because NON ONE PROFITS. Do not link to your ko-fi or patreon or mention monetary gain in any way or you violate the terms and risk having your account removed. If anyone does link, it leaves the archive open to people claiming it's for profit and having the whole thing removed.
I KNOW there's plenty more I missed but I'm trying to cover most of the basics that people seem to be struggling with.
I invite anyone to add to this, but please explain, don't berate.

This is my first Yuletide present, and it was amazing! A love story that, as it notes, has very little romance, but so much family bonding with their new accidental baby that they have no idea what to do with. They're worried about his powers! They're worried about their villainy! They're worried about where to live (which is reasonable because a lot of places aren't easy to babyproof)! This little family is so warm and fuzzy I love them. Baby Monkey!
#look i said something#monkey prince#marcus sun#marcus shugel-shen#remember. WE have to tell everyone to read this. because the author has to wait until the changing of the year!#reposting because the link broke the last time

Annual fan-theory rehashing:
The shire of Mount Hope is caught in a time-loop, the same day repeating over and over.
Not always, mind you. This event only seems to be triggered by the presence of royalty in the little NightVale-esque village. And even then, not all those present will be caught in it. There is no real rhyme or reason to who will or won’t, but one can live in Mount Hope one’s entire life and never be caught in a loop.
Those trapped in the loop do not notice right away. Oh, the ones who’ve done this a dozen times, of course they can tell immediately. But most will not. How could they? All they will perceive at first is a vague sense of déjà vu. As the loop progresses, things will start to seem actively familiar. Folk meeting for the first time will already know one another. They guess what is about to happen, and they are always right. They mentally recite the words of others as the words are first spoken.
Some may spend time privately questioning their own sanity. Others will take counsel with those they trust as soon as they sense something strange. The loop is openly acknowledged at different rates by different individuals, in part based on the speed at which it is recognized. Some – particularly those whose minds most resemble those of the Fae – recognize it at once. The very second time they live this day, they know they’ve lived it before with only slight differences. Those with more typical minds take over a month’s worth of days to discern what is happening. But sooner or later, all do. And as they recognize it, they speak of it, mostly only to those they are closest to. After a time – a little under two months’ worth of looped days, to be precise – all those within the loop have acknowledged and spoken of it with at least a few others.
Yet time loops are fickle things, and more often than not, the actions of the loop are determined by the attitudes of those within it. So it is with the loop of Mount Hope. Once everyone has spoken of and acknowledged the loop, it changes.
Against all rationality, something new – someone new, often – enters the loop. An element of the supernatural previously absent. It throws everything, everyone off. The day begins as it has for months, but then it changes. Nobody is prepared for this. Some may think that perhaps they had dreamed the loop, that none of these events had truly yet transpired. Others merely stare in disbelief, mentally mouthing phrases in the spirit of what the hap is fuckening.
And so they must begin again, recognizing the repeated events. As before, the Fae-like minds catch on at once. But the process for all is more speedy this time, for they’ve already recognized a loop once before. And as they start pinning down this altered loop, they begin to accept. After all, bizarre though the past weeks of their lives have been, they cannot deny that they have enjoyed themselves immensely. They are living a festival day, after all! And through that time, they have all bonded with each other deeply. One by one, they all come to the conclusion that, well, if they are to be stuck in the same day for the rest of eternity, they couldn’t have chosen better company with whom to be stuck.
But acceptance is just what the loop has been waiting for, precisely what was needed to free its prisoners, to end it. The inhabitants of the loop are somehow aware when it is the last day. How? Who knows. Mount Hope is a strange place, and some things within it do not brook questioning.
And so the visitors and denizens of Mount Hope make their way through one final day. In many ways, it will be a relief to end this, of course; yet there is not one among them wholly pleased. For all have come to love one another immensely, and the routine of the day – moderately terrifying at times though it may be – has grown strangely soothing.
They live through their day one last time, and they stand on a stage and sing one last farewell. A very few eyes may be dry, but these are in the minority.
And then it is over. New-reigning Catherine and Henry depart the village, promising to return someday. The Bavarian representatives stay some days yet, and then they, too, must turn their faces away. The Court of France scarce remains longer before setting off for their own realm. Her Majesty, newly crowned, and her cousin, newly redeemed, take their leave of a village newly at peace. Crisis averted, the newlyweds begin their life together, as the remaining civics folk scramble to rectify whatever other ills had been wrought by the architect of the crisis. Two queens, each both fallen and redeemed in differing ways, bid farewell to that setting of upheaval and most of the supporters who had helped enact such tumult.
Yet there is not one who e’er departs that shire who does not vow to return – for a day, a week, a month, another loop. For such is the power of that strange place, that all who pass through its gates leave a part of themselves there, and all who leave that part of themselves do so because in that place, if only for a little while, they have found their home.
