(no subject)

I may have forgotten to mention it in an actual post, but a piece of Egon/Janine fluff I wrote is going to be published in a multi-fandom (the publisher calls it multimedia, whatever) fanzine. It's set in the IDW comic universe and has a few spoilers for the series, namely most of the hints that the writer wanted this couple to happen, but Sony kept the reins on that, mostly, while allowing some stuff.

I'm excited, but not that much, because it's a fanzine, not anything big or official that'll get me fame and fortune. I'm not even expecting to become fandom famous. XD

Okay, so... (Using this icon because Egon is frown-y and I feel frown-y)

Apparently, there is a website that has sent bots to AO3 to steal people's fanworks and make money off them (mostly through ad revenue but you also need to give a credit card to make an account in order to access the works? skeevy as fuck if you ask me!).

I do not know how to feel about this, because holy crap, I don't want to lock down my works on there so only registered users can read it, but at the same time, I don't want to have to deal with filling and sending a DMCA if it does come to happen.

AO3 isn't doing much beyond telling people they should lock their works to prevent that from happening for now, they are apparently looking into it, but appear to be pretty sure there isn't much they can do.

*sigh*

I am NOT going to FF.net, no way, no how. Nuh-uh!

Here is a Tumblr post about it.
