Yet another AO3 bot situation - please spread the word!

Hi, it's me again, the person who wrote that viral post about fanfiction plagiarism! Today I'm here to warn you about abuse perpetrated by bots who have stolen AO3 usernames.

There's currently an epidemic of bots going around leaving (apparently random) horrible, hateful comments on people's fics. This isn't the first time bots have invaded AO3, but the big problem with this wave is that they're using real AO3 usernames to do it.

I learned about this when another writer contacted me after receiving the following comment on their story:

Now, while that is my username, I DEFINITELY did not leave this comment (and anyone who would leave something like that on a fic should be slapped! What an awful thing to post). This fic is in a completely unrelated fandom that I have never participated in, nor has that author participated in any of my fandoms, so the probability of it being some intentional fandom drama thing to make me look bad is also low.

The writer whose fic the comment was left on enlisted the aid of some friends and tracked down other guest comments with unrelated usernames attached, which is pretty strong evidence that they are being left by bots at random.

The TL;DR: If you receive a cruel comment from a (Guest) with an actual AO3 username attached, it's most likely from a bot. Please do not lash out at or dogpile the AO3 user who owns that name, and who in all likelihood has no idea that their name has been hijacked for evil.

If finding this kind of comment on a fic, even left by a bot, is likely to upset you, I would recommend changing your comment settings so that only users who are logged in can leave comments. To do this, edit your story settings, and under "Privacy," select the radio button that says "Only registered users can comment," as shown below.

Please spread the word to other AO3 users! And if you see mean guest comments on other fics, maybe let the author know that it's probably from a bot and not a real person who thinks their writing is bad.

people all collectively coming to tumblr to see if ao3 is down for other people too or if it’s just them and their wifi is so poetically nostalgic when you think about it, because in some way, it’s the equivalent of those times in the past when you’re a kid and visiting your grandparents’ home and there’s a blackout and so you just walk outside of the house to see if your neighbors experience the same thing too. the ao3 is just. like. a modern version of that

one of my fave posts honestly

“they’re shipping us” “TO WHERE?” Is extremely dorothy/rose coded oh my god it’s literally just them 😭😭😭

Hello Mr Gaiman, I'm watching Dead Boy Detectives and I'm enjoying it very much. But I've a grammar dilemma about the title, since English is not my first language.

Shouldn't it be "Dead Boys Detectives" ?

Thank you!

Think of “Dead boy” as a descriptive phrase, like “tall giraffe” or “Clever Lesbian”. The Clever Lesbian Detective Agency will send clever lesbians to investigate crimes, and the tall giraffe detective agency will send tall giraffes to your house to investigate mysteries.

Sunset is so fucking good how did it not make the non deluxe album????

Like the vocals, the harmonizing, the chords, the LYRICS!? Like okay Demi, I see u girl. I see u.

"We're just oceans and waves, we're just one and the same. So don't let the sunset on our love. Don't let the night fall tear us apart."

okay i actually like agatha’s ending plot-wise for several reasons:

1) agatha becoming the thing her ex hates is 100% on brand

2) she very obviously is committed to learning everything she can about how to use her ghost abilities and being agatha, probably grabbing any other power she can too

3) she’s sticking close to the only person who’s managed to shove dead souls into new bodies, gee i wonder if that was part of the risk she calculated when deciding which of them should live

4) this truly sets up so many potential delicious agathario futures. if agatha stays a ghost they’re both in eternal forms now. they can chase each other forever

i do wish we’d gotten more rio in the finale. there’s some really good subtext in there; she gave agatha six years with nicky, during which he created the song that wound up giving her so many, many bodies. it would’ve been amazing to see rio with agatha and nicky, to see them as the family we all imagined. it would’ve been amazing to have at least one scene of agatha and rio’s relationship before things went bad

so yeah, there’s definitely things i wish we could’ve gotten, but overall i think it was excellent and clearly crafted with so much care

please remember that this is still marvel and disney. jac schaeffer and team didn’t have a choice about billy being introduced or leaving the series alive. they chose to subvert the tropes people are ranting about by having agatha choose a physical death on her own terms and in a way that leaves a ton of possibilities for how she can claw her way into more power

I don't understand why people thought that we would get a happy ending for Agathario. At least for now.

I'm glad that by making her a ghost, there is a chance to bring her back to life. Though I ship Agathario A LOT, I want to see Agatha alive and powerful. I want to see her thrive and kick some ass!

Also, this is marvel. Couples usually don't get happy endings. Think about it. Most marvel love stories end tragically or go through a lot of trials before they reach a happy ending.

And this isn't THE END for Agatha. It's the end of a chapter and the beginning of a new one. We will definitely get to see more of Rio.

Now, two last things:

I have to say that being a spirit guide to Billy could actually be quite fun. I mean, she will definitely be the most annoying ghost, but also a great mentor. It would also be interesting to see what powers she possesses as a ghost.

The fact that they keep her as a ghost means that someone could bring her back to life! I really want to see her back in her human form and powerful!! Her powers are one of my favorite things about her! I want to see her having an important role in the marvel universe. She is too powerful to not be utilized in future marvel projects!

Sorry for the rant, but I had to say this.

agatha finale rant

so I’ve been seeing a lot of people complaining about the finale of Agatha and I wanted to give my two cents on their main points: 

1. “they used agatha’s show as a way to promote a man!!” well yes! that’s how marvel tv works im afraid. or any tv, really. wandavision was used to introduce agatha and monica, which led to their projects in the mcu (aaa, marvels). agatha introduced billy, leading to his future in visionquest or his solo series, which will introduce tommy and vision, which will lead to children’s crusade to reintroduce wanda. this is common for any tv show, but especially a big, connected franchise like marvel. i find it so concerning that even after all the promotion that showed us billy and agatha as co-leads, people were STILL shocked when the finale sets up a future story centered around him. like i hate to break it to yall but marvel wants money. and more shows means more money.

2. “they killed off a lesbian woman and not the gay man!” first of all, in the comics, agatha is a spirit guide for the scarlet witch. this form is her most comic accurate yet. also, did yall really think that was an unfair ending? or an ending PERIOD? all her death made me think of was the possibilities for the future with both billy AND rio. and again; rio was promoted as the ‘antagonist’ to agatha since the beginning. i don’t know how people went into this excepting a happily ever after for these two. they were always depicted as tragic lovers, and i honestly think the kiss of death was beautiful and poetic. i also don’t think this is the last we’re seeing of rio. and, as a side note, homophobia is still not okay! it doesn’t matter if you’re also gay; lesbians can be homophobic towards gay men, and gay men can be lesbophobic towards lesbians. and i’ve seen wayyyy too much of both in this fanbase. you can criticize characters and critique actors without bringing up their sexuality. we have enough incel homophobes doing that for us

3. if you’re still complaining about wanda not coming back i have no hope for you

4. this show, since day ZERO, was promoted as a show with billy and agatha as coleads. while i wish we had more backstory for how agatha and rio met, the salem flashbacks involving nicholas, the road scheme, and the song were much more important to the show. the parallels between nicky and billy were explored throughout the season a lot more than agatha and rios story (whether or not you like it, it’s still true (i personally wish we had a bit more on how they met 😭))

5. sending hate to actors about things their characters did is STILL not okay! and never will be!

6. this might be a hot take but if you’re only watching a show for a ship and don’t care about the story at all your opinion is irrelevant to me. like people who started watching after it was revealed in the show that agatha and rio were lovers (because, correct me if i’m wrong, this was never revealed before the episodes dropped) have no right to be upset when the show focuses on other things. and this is coming from a MASSIVE fan of agathario. and a lesbian. i loved the fact that i was watching characters who just happened to be lesbians have their own story. yes, i wish there was more agathario in the flashbacks. but i’m really not upset at all by what we got. and don’t get me wrong, people have every right to be disappointed, but they don’t have the right to hate on the creators and actors of the show. that’s not cool.

this is way longer than i thought it was gonna be 😭😭 hope everyone enjoyed the finale
