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:

ALT

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.

ALT

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.

FANFICTION AUTHORS: HEADS UP

(Non-authors, please RB to signal boost to your author friends!)

An astute reader informed me this morning that one of my fics (Children of the
Future Age) had been pirated and was being sold as a novel on Amazon:



(And they weren't even creative with their cover design. If you're going to
pirate something that I spent a full year of my life writing, at least give me a
pretty screenshot to brag about later. Seriously.)

I promptly filed a DMCA complaint to have it removed, but I checked out the
company that put it up -- Plush Books -- and it looks like A LOT of their books
are pirated fic. They are by no means the only ones doing this, either -- the
fact that """publishers""" can download stories from AO3 in ebook format and
then reupload them to Amazon in just a few clicks makes fic piracy a common
problem. There are a whole host of reasons why letting this continue is bad --
including actual legal risk to fanfiction archives -- but basically:


IF YOU ARE A FANFIC AUTHOR WITH LONG AND/OR POPULAR WORKS, PLEASE CHECK AMAZON
TO SEE IF YOUR STORIES HAVE BEEN PIRATED.

You can search for your fics by title, or by text from the description (which is
often just copied wholesale from AO3 as well). If you find that someone has
stolen your work and is selling it as their own, you can lodge a DMCA complaint
(Amazon.com/USA site; other countries have different systems). If you haven't
done this before, it's easy! Here's a tutorial:


HOW TO FILE A COPYRIGHT COMPLAINT FOR STOLEN WORK ON AMAZON.COM:

First, go to this form. You'll need to be signed into your Amazon account.

 * Select the radio buttons/dropdown options (shown below) to indicate that you
   are the legal Rights Owner, you have a copyright concern, and it is about a
   pirated product.
 * Enter the name of your story in the Name of Brand field.
 * In the Link to the Copyrighted Work box, enter a link to the story on AO3 or
   whatever site your work is posted on.


 * In the Additional Information box, explain that you are the author of the
   work and it is being sold without your permission. That's all you really
   need. If you want, you can include additional information that might be
   helpful in establishing the validity of your claim, but you don't have to go
   into great detail. You can simply write something like this:

> I am the author of this work, which is being sold by [publisher] without my
> permission. I originally published this story in [date/year] on [name of
> site], and have provided a link to the original above. On request, I can
> provide documentation proving that I am the owner of the account that
> originally posted this story.


 * In the ASIN/ISBN-10 field, copy and paste the ID number from the pirated
   copy's URL. You'll find this ten-digit number in the Amazon URL after the
   word "product," as in the screenshot below. (If the URL extends beyond this
   number, you can ignore everything from the question mark on.) Once this
   number has been added, Amazon will pull the product information automatically
   and add it to the complaint form, so you can check the listing title and make
   sure it's correct.


 * Finally, add your contact information to the relevant fields, check the "I
   have read and accept the statements" box, and then click Submit. You should
   receive an email confirmation that Amazon has received the form.

Please share this information with your writer friends, keep an eye out
for/report pirated works, and help us keep fanfiction free and legally
protected!

NOTE: All of the above also applies to Amazon products featuring stolen artwork,
etc., so fan artists should check too!

UPDATES AND ANSWERS for anyone who hasn't seen the follow-up posts (which, after
~55K notes, is probably most people, since I don't have that many followers):

Some of these are in response to questions that I keep getting asked over and
over. Others are in response to frequently-occurring replies/reblogs/tags (sorry
if I've missed your question; with tens of thousands of notes coming in, I
literally can't see everyone's post responses on my Activity tab):

 * In the case of my story (and others that I know were reported), Amazon took
   down the plagiarized book within 24 hours of my reporting it.
 * No one but the actual author can file a removal request on Amazon, sorry. If
   you know of a fic that has been plagiarized and the author hasn't shared
   contact info/social media, the best way to let them know is probably to leave
   a comment on the story.
 * AMAZON IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PIRACY. Amazon is an automated marketplace
   where users can list things to sell, just like eBay or Etsy, and there is no
   live person on the other end tasked with vetting every single one of the
   hundreds of millions of items to make sure they're legit. There is no
   "plagiarism filter" or "book researcher" or whatever that should have caught
   this when it was uploaded. You're allowed to dislike Amazon for their
   business practices, labor policies, or many other legitimate reasons, but in
   this specific case they aren't the ones at fault.
 * Setting your fics to "registered users only" on AO3 will not prevent people
   from stealing them. Thieves can make a free AO3 account just like anyone
   else. Someone capable of programming a bot to crawl a fanfiction archive can
   probably also figure out how to register for the site so their bot can hide
   behind a registered user browser cookie.
 * Leaving your fics eternally unfinished will not prevent people from stealing
   them. There were multiple stories on the Plush Books page that were
   unfinished (I checked their status on AO3 when I was contacting other
   affected authors). Thieves don't care if the story is actually done; they're
   in this racket to grab a quick buck and then disappear before anyone can
   complain.
 * As it turns out, some of the stolen works were harvested from other
   fanfiction archives, such as Fanfiction.net, in addition to AO3. Anyone who
   has ever posted a story online should keep an eye out.
 * As it also turns out, there is no consistent profile determining which works
   were pirated. Some stories are long; others are short. Some had many kudos;
   others had just a few. Some were marked as complete; others were still
   unfinished. As near as anyone can tell, the selection process is random.
 * Yes, I'm aware that the cover art to the example I posted is also stolen. As
   several people have recognized, it's the DMC5 game menu background (my fic
   that was pirated is a DMC story). Many of the other books on the Plush Books
   page also used stolen game/movie/etc. art.
 * No, it is not legal to sell fanfiction, stolen or otherwise. No, it is not
   legal to use commercial game art as cover art without a paid license. BUT
   ALSO NO, the IP owners aren't going to bother prosecuting anyone over this.
   Lawyers are expensive, and even if the court awarded the plaintiff damages
   based on the number of infringing books sold, that would probably add up to
   about 1/4 hour of billed legal time -- it's just not worth it for them.
   Legally, an IP owner has to protect their copyright in order to maintain it,
   but that can be a simple matter of a C&D or takedown notice. Nobody's going
   to bother going to court over this -- which is exactly what the thieves are
   banking on; it's a relatively low-risk enterprise. (Related: Please stop
   messaging me to get in touch with Capcom and jointly sue the publisher. So
   many legal issues there, starting with requiring Capcom to make a legal
   statement on fanfiction. Do not open the Pandora's Box of defining
   "transformative" in court.)
 * AO3/OTW have been aware of this situation since it started, so there's no
   need to tag them in future reblogs.
 * When I put this post up three weeks ago, Plush Books had listings for
   hundreds of stolen fanfics on their Amazon publisher page. As of today, there
   are only eleven fic titles left on their page, so you all did an amazing job
   getting the word out to the fanfiction community! So many people contributed
   to the effort, whether it was by messaging authors, helping build the
   database of stolen works, or just reblogging and tagging friends. Thanks to
   all of you who helped! (If anyone wants to try to track down the authors of
   the remaining eleven stories, the book list is here).

WHEN WRITING EMOTIONALLY RESERVED CHARACTERS:

 * Show your character's struggles with holding in emotions. Just because your
   character won't let themself go in public, doesn't mean they don't struggle
   holding everything in.
 * Find a motive. Pride and/or consideration for those around them can make
   emotionally reserved people hold back more than would be considered good for
   them. There are other reasons too, perhaps the initial cause and the reason
   now are different, but try to give them a reason.
 * Show side-effects. Everything you bottled up shows itself in another way,
   whether it's physical or mental. This can be long- and short-term, depending
   on the severity of the emotions.
 * Give them coping mechanisms. Everyone who wishes not to show certain emotions
   has a trick or two to keep themselves in check. Taking a sip of water, not
   looking people in the eyes, clenching their fists, breathing just a bit too
   deeply.
 * Write subconscious signs that they give off, which close friends or family
   might pick on. Just because these characters want to keep their emotions to
   themselves, doesn't mean they don't give off signs. Some manage to keep said
   signs well hidden from those closest to them, but it's more common for
   environment to pick up on something at the very least.

Word Dieting Your First Draft

Here are two phrases you can cut without loss:

 * begin to (begins to, beginning to, began to, begun to)
 * start to (starts to, starting to, started to)

> She began to run -> She ran.
> Rain began to fall -> Rain fell.

Should you avoid "begin to" altogether?

Well, no. Sometimes, when an action starts and is abandoned immediately, they
clarify what's going on:

> She began to walk home, but changed her mind after a few steps. He started to
> paint the fence, but thought better of it.

Cut "Look"

More often than not, your story will work just as well without telling the
reader that the character is looking at something.

> Looking at him, she nodded. -> She nodded.
> 
> He looked at her and poured her a drink. -> He poured her a drink.
> 
> She looked at the mountain which towered over the valley. -> The mountain
> towered over the valley.

Cut "See"

If you describe something, it is implied that the POV character sees it.

When she took another galnce at the book in his hand, she saw he was

Cut "Turn"

Do your characters turn towards one another before saying something? Turn before
they move? People turn all the time - it's implied without having to describe
it.

> She changed her mind, turned, and hurried home. -> She changed her mind and
> hurried home.
> She turned to him and clasped his hand -> She clasped his hand.

Where turn + look are used:

> He turned to look at her and nodded. "I agree that's true."
> -> He nodded. "That's true."
> -> "True" [even better!]

When to use "look", "turn" and "see":

 * when a dialogue scene involves several people
 * when two of these words are used, try cutting one.
