Yet Another AO3 Bot Situation - Please Spread The Word!

PINK PONY CLUB 💗

ai does not belong in creative spaces. period.

Positivityforlesbians here to give you some good news and positive vibes, so here’s the thing : girl in red’s album is finally out today on April 30th ! Go listen to it ! It’s called “if i could make it go quiet” ! That’s exciting in itself and I could stop this post here isn’t it ?! But no ! I’m making this post because guess who rarely ever post anything else than promo nowadays yet posted about girl in red’s album ? Taylor Swift ! Here’s a screen capture I took so you can see :

So basically we can now officially say that Taylor listens to girl in red and honestly y’all, that’s another huge clue. To me that’s not even a clue but typical signalling but this time she did it in a more obvious way than she ever did ! Look she even chose the 13th second of the song (!! she is the main character, she controls her own narrative, she knows what she is doing) which corresponds to a lyric that begins at 0:11 sec and ends at 0:14 sec that is “we’re not going back” AHHHHHHH I swear this is so fucking gay and if y’all straighties aren’t even capable to see this huge clue when you know at this point that “do you listen to girl in red ?” is THE way/joke to ask if a woman is a lesbian or bi withut really asking her then you’ll never be convinced. Taylor is one of us and this Instagram Story is the ultimate proof, I’m so hyped, let’s all be hyped ! Look at how much she isn’t bothered by the Gaylor rumors, she’s entertaining it 100%, we’ve been saying it all along ! Homophobes go home ! 💖💖💖

Also I’m so happy for Marie’s music, she’s super talented and inspiring, imagine being a gay woman from Norway and having Taylor recognizing your work, promoting it this enthusiastically and saying she listens to the album on repeat ! Listen to girl in red, in case it wasn’t the case already ! And OMG Taylor ! <3 ✨

Dying at how Agatha is SO annoyed at Rio right here yet she snatches her flower anyway🤭

“what the FUCK are you DOING…GIVE ME THE FUCKING FLOWER😡”

Why is this the first time I hear about this?! Thank you!! This change is great for my eyes!

Hey quick question was the dark mode Ao3 thing a joke and if not, how does one set that up? I have been on there for years and I feel like boo boo the fool

Hi! first of all so sorry for not replying sooner i forgot to have a look at my inbox 🫶🏾

dark mode definitely is a real thing on AO3! this is how i did it on my phone (im going to assume it’s the same for both apple and android)

1. Log into your AO3 account and go to ‘My Dashboard’

2. Click on ‘Skins’

3. Click on ‘Public Site Skins’

4. Scroll through the available skins - For dark more click the ‘Use’ button under the Reversi skin

5. Enjoy reading without destroying your eyes!

just a heads up to my fellow writers out there that AO3 is currently fighting off bots commenting on people’s works to tell them that AO3 will delete their fics “due to the works being deprecated”, and the deletion will affect their accounts unless the authors delete the fics themselves first. IT IS A SCAM. AO3 will NOT delete your works. please do NOT fall for these bots!

I’ve been told the reason why these bots are doing this is due to copyright infringement issue where they’re trying to steal your works (possibly to train AI but this is just a guess) ‼️‼️‼️and once you deleted your fics, it will be either very difficult or impossible for you to claim ownership of your own fics when they were already deleted.‼️‼️‼️

a reminder that AO3 will never contact you through your comments section (in case they claim to be one of the moderators). AO3 will only contact you through your email address which you use to register your account, and it will be from AO3’s official handle. not some sketchy ass @

so if you get a comment telling you you should “delete your works to protect your account because AO3 is doing blah blah blah” report that comment. don’t delete your works.

PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THESE SCAM.

AO3 IS NOT DELETING WORKS.

DO NOT DELETE YOUR WORKS JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE CLAIMS THEY KNOW SOMETHING.

"We would go on to play this show in the pouring rain, in the blazing heat, in the thickest humidity, in the wildest winds, and in the bitter cold. We would do it if we were sick or exhausted or injured. We would do it with a broken heart. We do this because we love having the rare opportunity to create happiness and wonder up on that stage. We do it because we know it takes time and effort and money and energy to plan out coming to a concert. We do it because every friendship bracelet traded has the potential to become a new friend, and you never know what dreams can be sparked if we succeed in painting a dreamscape in every city we visit. We do it because people need an escape from how brutal life can be, and it is the honor of a lifetime to be that for them, if only for a night. And although we are all on our own in this big scary life, somehow it doesn’t feel that way when we're singing the same words as 80,000 other people wearing glittery face paint. We do it because life comes in waves, in phases, in brilliant flurries of magical moments, and all of these things come together to create... Eras." THE ERAS TOUR (MARCH 17, 2023 - DECEMBER 8, 2024)

Scooter Braun Reportedly Thought Taylor Swift Was Bluffing About Re-Recording Her Albums

Scooter Braun reportedly thought that Taylor Swift was bluffing and wouldn't actually re-record her albums.

According to a new report from Financial Times, the SB Projects Founder believed that the "Lover" singer was just bluffing about re-recording and re-releasing her early music after losing her masters.

... Braun and his team supposedly told potential buyers that Swift's threat would only generate publicity and boost streaming and downloads. Braun's explanation sounded reasonable to investors who didn't believe the artist would take the time to re-record her past work out of spite.

Three people who were approached to purchase the masters confirmed to the outlet that such a conversation took place

...Financial Times reports that the deal also included a post-purchase earnout to Braun and Carlyle Group (who helped fund Braun's purchase of Big Machine), if sales and streams hit specific targets.

However, Swift didn't back down...

Now, investors including Shamrock Capital, Braun and Carlyle Group are allegedly worried that they won't hit previously intended targets with Swift's original recordings as her new recordings will likely undercut their goals.
