Casually Rereading This Story That’s Pretty Good, And I Get To The End And Find Out This Author Hasn’t

easily one of the best stories I’ve ever read, and it makes me laugh like a loon every time I read it.

I reactivated this account just to let you know how much i am loving reading your fic Sasuke's No Good Very Bad Teammates. Thank you for your gracing us with such a funny, interesting, captivating story. <3

ahhh that's such high praise!! I'm so so glad you're enjoying the story -- it's one of my absolute favorites, and I still look back on it fondly even though it's been a while! :D

enjoyy, and thank you so much for taking the time to let me know!

@corndog-patrol tell me this isn’t one of Mic and Aizawa’s cats

Here's mine!

Dying

One of the things I love about BNHA is all the headcanons you can come up with that make sense and don’t change a thing plot wise, which is why you can rip my half-German-Yamada-Hizashi headcanon from my cold dead hands.

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.
