Something that I think would make Shen Yuan's obsessive hate of PIDW (and subsequently cumplane's friendship) so much funnier is if Airplane is like genuinely an amazing writer. Could you imagine Shen Yuan reading this beautifully written prose and being so personally offended that he died because said beautiful writing was used to tell some fuckass plot about some demon lord getting laid. Like he meets Shang Qinghua and is constantly stuck between "please continue writing, its so beautiful" and "please never write ever again what the FUCK was that plot"

ICYMI, there was fear that companies were scraping public AO3 fics to train their AI without the consent of AO3 or its users. That fear has been confirmed.
AO3 has written about what they’re doing (and what they’re not able to do), and they recommend restricting your work to AO3 registered users only. [Instructions here]
This gross misuse of the archive by techbros is why I’ve locked down my fics for the foreseeable future. I recommend the rest of you do the same.
