You don’t own fanfics. They’re inherently public domain because they aren’t your IP. Agree or disagree with AI, there are no grounds for “protection” from AI because it isn’t your IP to begin with. That’s what you chose when you chose this medium

Oh dear.

Okay, you get an answer, because at least you took the effort to write your ask out properly, even if you are hiding behind the grey, sunglassed circle.

Do I, or any fanfic author for that matter, have any legal claims to our work? No, not really, no. (Although if someone took a fic, filed off the serial number--deleted the fandom specific elements--, and then had it published for financial gain, yeah, that would be a case.)

BUT

Fandoms are built on a social contract that says we respect each others work, the effort people put into their art. We don't steal or disrespect the work of our peers. By feeding people's fanworks to AI you both steal and disprect it, and we need to make people realize that before it's too late--before fandom falls apart, because there will be no more real, actual fanworks.

Disrepectfully,

“You might not realize it, but in-your-face displays of heterosexuality are everywhere — the family photo on a desk, the man and woman holding hands on the beach, or an opposite-sex couple kissing in a bar. No one accuses these couples of “flaunting” their sexuality, but make it two men or two women in the photo holding hands or smooching, then we’ve crossed the line. That’s the double standard.”

I can't believe you blocked me, just because I read everything you said in bad faith with open hostility.

Posts about self-positivity are not the place to vent your self-negativity. If you see a post saying something like “Wow, I feel really good about myself today! I hope you have a good day”, it’s very inappropriate to reply with something like “I wish I could, but I’m miserable and nobody has ever liked me”.

It’s fine to make posts venting your emotions (as long as they’re tagged appropriately!), but adding that to someone else’s post - especially if it’s about them feeling good - not only brings the mood down for everyone involved, but also violates important social boundaries

If you wouldn’t say it to a stranger who wished you a good day in public, you shouldn’t say it to a stranger who wished you a good day online. This goes for all types of positivity posts.
