#AI is just so trustworthy and reliable. I don't know how anyone can say anything bad about it. #HarryPotter
Duck Duck Go AI summary states: "Ron Weasley received the Howler on August 2, 1992. It was sent by his mother, Molly Weasley, after he stole his father's flying car."

This bot is making my Margaery Tyrell isekai'd into Ginny Weasley fic sound way more interesting than it currently is. 😂 #fanfiction #HarryPotter #GameofThrones
Guest review on Chapter 2 of Between Bronze and Gold (unreviewed): I feel profoundly betrayed by this story arc. We invested in these characters because they stood for something better, and now they are architects of a system that is functionally fascism. I'm begging you to remember the fundamental values of the source material - values of freedom, justice, and compassion. To abandon those principles for a grimdark aesthetic that minimizes state violence is unforgivable. I will drop this fic if the next chapter doesn't introduce severe narrative-breaking consequences for this oppressive structure.

#TheDragonsRoar didn't start as foefiction, but it certainly ended as one. #GameofThrones #fanfiction
"The term 'fan' fiction assumes an unequivocally positive attitude toward the source material. What a lot of us are writing should technically be classified as foe fiction." Picture is a reverse bell curve that shows fanfiction on one end of the scale labeled "blind adoration." Then the other end is 'foe fiction' and the end of the scale is labeled "passionate hatred." In the middle, the curve is low and it's title "Vague Interest." A subtitle says: "My feelings about the source material vs. my desire to create transformative fiction."

The latest AI bot intrusion in #fanfiction and on #AO3 is posting comments in fics accusing other writers of using generative AI in their stories. Don't fall for their bullshit! It's just a way to try to conquer and divide us.
A comment on an AO3 work by a bot calling itself Quantumr Quirks: I feel so betrayed by [redacted]. I was eagerly awaiting their next update, and now I find out it was mostly spat out by an AI with minimal editing, and they're happy about that fact. It’s a total bait-and-switch. I'm done reading. Everyone else needs to know about this as well. We have to spread the word quickly to stop other readers from wasting their time and kudoing machine-generated chapters. The only way to get this stopped is through official channels, so please, everyone, stop reading his work and go immediately report him to the admins for fraudulent authorship.

People who enjoy #fanfiction, monetization of fanfiction is a pretty contentious topic right now. It's problematic for many reasons, but probably the best reason is that everyone would lose when free expression in fanfiction no longer exists.
I'm sorry, I'm not going to transcribe this whole conversation. The gist of it is that the user I'm speaking to wants IP creators to have to pay fanfiction writers because fanfiction writers offer free marketing with their work that hypes the original creator's content. I explain to them that since we're writing fanfiction of their IP without consent, that the IP owners are going to be the ones to be paid, not us. I have to further explain that one of the greatest parts about fanfiction is how free it is: free to access, free to create, and, best of all, free expression. If it came to be that IP owners had to pay fanfiction writers, then they'd pick winners and losers and that would cause the censorship of fanfiction. AO3 is, of course, purpose built to avoid censorship.

My 'To Read' list is about a mile long and I feel like I get distracted easily these days. #fanfiction
Two-panel cartoon. A person is happily embracing what looks like a yellow balloon with the text: "Start reading the new chapter." The second panel shows a pink glob attempting to hug the person, who's now smiling nervous and the pink glob has the text: "The fic I was still in the middle of reading before I got distracted."

It's just a staple at this point. #AO3

2. Seek out #fanfiction.
3. Repeat cycle as necessary.

Look, no one ever said it would be easy. ...but couldn't it have been easier? #fanfiction
Four quadrant meme format. Upper left shows a happy person and the box next to them says "Plotting the fic." In the bottom left, there's a sad or weary or depressed person and the box next to them says, "Writing the fic."

The traffic stats page. Stats are currently bogus as Fictionpress ramps things up.
The stats page shows a graph bar with stories and their stats appearing underneath. In the left pane, the options top to bottom are: "Traffic Status, Story, Forum, Community."

When hovering the Writing button, it shows options for Publish, Beta Profile, and Traffic Stats.

If I hover over my avatar, I get another menu showing various options:

I was somehow able to snag a code from the list Fictionpress put up for the new beta version of www.fanfiction.net. Unfortunately, the codes are only available on Twitter.

This is the front page, for anyone who's curious. #fanfiction
The new page for the beta FF.net. There's a large banner on the front that says "Fanfiction.Net New (Beta) Website!" It's a scrolling banner showing banners for other people's fanfictions. Not clear yet how to get this kind of prominence on the front page. Beneath the banner it says "A Global Hub for Creativity" and shows all the fanfiction categories like the old site does. In the upper right corner is my account avatar. You can sign into your regular FF.net account. The top menu bar says, from left to right, Read, Community, Beta Readers, and Forum. Then an icon to select for dark mode and then the button Writing.

*gasp* #AO3 has had a UI update! It now tells you which chapter people commented on without having to click into the comment! I like it!
Reviews now say "Chapter x of Story Name" such as Chapter 67 of The Dragon's Roar.

So tired of these goddamn bots/scammers. #fanfiction
Scammer repeating generic crap about how amazing my fic is. My response: yoUr StoRy cOmPleteLy cAuGht mY heArT. Can't say anything specific about it because you're a scammer and you don't actually give a s***. Move along.

#GameofThrones, I'm looking at you specifically! Glory to #fanfiction!
Nick Fury in Marvel is labeled 'Fanfic writers' and he says: "I recognize canon has made a decision, but given that it's a stupid ass decision, I've elected to ignore it."

#TheDragonsRoar has cracked 1 MILLION hits on #AO3! Thank you, wonderful readers, for helping me to reach this milestone!
A screenshot of a story on AO3. The story is The Dragon's Roar by Priestess_of_Groove. The summary: Humanity failed to stop the Night King and his legion of undead until it was too late. The displeased Gods decide it should take a greater role in the fate of humanity and wind back to a time before the world fell apart. Jon Snow, the Prince Who Was Promised, and Jaime Lannister are sent back to prevent the War of the Five Kings and unite Westeros under a single banner to avoid a terrible fate. Even with the advantage of hindsight, things never go as planned. The most relevant stats are the following - Words: 701, 524 Chapters: 160/160 Kudos: 12,084 Hits: 1,000,010

There's a new bot in town on #AO3 telling writers that AO3 is going to delete their works for breaking the rules. Do NOT heed this!

New speculation is that you can't prove deleted works were stolen by AI. Don't fall for it!

Credit to posters on r/AO3.
User 1: There's a theory already that this makes it easier for copyright infringers to steal fanfics because you can't prove the authorship of a deleted work. This is pure evil. Spread the word. p.s. The comments look something like this: *includes picture of an AO3 comment that reads* "Your story really stood out to me - it's heartfelt and thoughtfully written, a real pleasure to read. I just wanted to politely let you know about AO3's recent efforts to remove non-fanworks and deprecated fandom content to conserve server space. Since your fic is categorized under a deprecated fandom, moderators are expected to remove it and impose a month-long ban if author's don't comply. To protect your account, it might be wise to delete your work yourself before they take action. Just thought you'd want to be aware of this!" User 1 continues: p.p.s There's no "new" policy that bans original works either. Everything that was allowed is still allowed. This is a "please read our TOS ffs" awareness campaign - not a surprise rugpull. Don't delete anything, please. It's an archive!

So, as I understand it, this #AO3 new announcement is inspired by the deluge of 'placeholder' fics that have been popping up all over the place, which is a common practice on #Wattpad. What /is/ the purpose of placeholders? What does it matter if you're not posting actual content to engage with?
In a blue bar above the website, Archive of Our Own has the following text: Over the new few months, the Policy & Abuse committee will be posting a weekly spotlight series explaining some of the most common violations of AO3's non-fanwork policy. Click here to learn what a non-fanwork is and why non-fanworks are not allowed on AO3."

The following is applicable to effort on any kind of project: An object at motion stays in motion; an object at rest stays at rest. #fanfiction
The meme has two panels. The left panel shows a little girl smiling with a far off expression: Daydreaming about the fanfic I want to write. Right panel shows a little girl crying while coloring with a crayon: Actually having to write it.
