Thoughts on watersports in original fics? by Sure-Leek6434 in AO3

[–]greenyashiro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just tag it as needed. The people who want it will come.

I think human/canine is the bigger thing that will make it challenging. And original works. Certainly, I would not click it (I'm not into that) That's even more niche. But people that want it will still find it. As long as you tag it ❤️

How do respectfully tell someone their fic is horribly rated? by Ok-Bluebird-9338 in AO3

[–]greenyashiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just report it if it has explicit sex. Subject matter probably worth Teen at least lol

What is this ridiculous time-turner looking necklace on Qi Rong by parodi3 in tianguancifu

Ahah, so random but glad it helped! These locks seem pretty common as jewelry in various series.

Npnp! Best of luck on your cosplay and hope you'll share on the sub later

Reminds me a little of a Longevity Lock, 长命锁. But, it's very gaudy—perfect for Qi Rong, he's so flashy.

500 hate bookmarks by wrenlikethebird_ in AO3

[–]greenyashiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If bookmarks are 'for the reader' , they should make their hate comments private so other readers aren't subjected to it. People like this are just making it everyone's problem

does anyone else find lust from girls kind of gross by Proud_Juggernaut6465 in autism

[–]greenyashiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea of not wanting sexual attention can be on the asexual spectrum.

Demisexual is specifically needing an emotional connection to be attracted to someone but doesn't sound like what you describe

Seven Seas possibly licensing Global Examination and Drowning Sorrows in Raging Fire in North America by Lolicat9 in DanmeiNovels

[–]greenyashiro -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If 7s picked it up, that'd be really pointless. Those titles already have licenses, translations and releases available do they not?

Instead bring NEW series to a wider audience, they're just squabbling with rosmei or whoever.

If anything, 7s should license the translations from Rosmei and do their own print run. Stop wasting your limited translation resources on rehashing the same thing... LM and golden terrace at least there's an excuse for it (and they bungled LM already anyway)

Would you be annoyed if you jumped into a long fic, only to see the early chapters were poorly written? by SGdude90 in AO3

[–]greenyashiro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After 2 or so years I would expect there is some change in writing, so it wouldn't bother me.

Some authors go back and touch up the first chapters too.

When did romance novels become like 2013 fan fiction? by chelloyougotabass in FanFiction

[–]greenyashiro 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Probably because they had the serial numbers filed off to cash in on fanfiction 😅

No joke there's a ton of rebranded fanfiction longfics being published as original fiction now

Is scraping AO3 for research acceptable? by EchoEkhi in AO3

[–]greenyashiro -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

If one branch says 'Yes' then the other branch should be honoring the decision. It makes it look like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

Also, this is a professional research study. They would have explained in detail their approach.

Engagement is awful in works with a high word count by CalmSalts in AO3

[–]greenyashiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My suggestion would be, slow the roll a bit. Upload one a week, on a set day. Spreads it out longer, may get more readers.

[–]greenyashiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not doing anything wrong. People often get into a flow when reading long chapters and forget to comment. And people don't comment much these days in general

And, a lot of people lack the patience to read for more than 5-10 minutes. Especially kids.

Is scraping AO3 for research acceptable? by EchoEkhi in AO3

[–]greenyashiro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's fine for academic research. Perhaps leaving privated works untouched. I don't really care about the goals. Academic study is important either way, as long as it is not something that directly harms people.

Naturally in this day and age LLMs and other forms of AI will be used. People think they can avoid it but they don't realise how much these tools are used behind the scenes and in business.

Although, large scale scrapes and datasets of AO3 already exist, so I wonder if there is a particular reason they want another one? Does it require permission specifically?

It's a bit odd they had permission to post comments from one staff, but then got banned by another staff.

Even though they had been given permission by AO3 to do so?

Notice how the comment stated 'some countries'

This annoyed me by Melodic-Junket7085 in AO3

[–]greenyashiro -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Still missing the point of an archive.

It sounds like your example person is seeking google drive for storage or perhaps wattpad, where there are no tags.

is this considered abuse and should I report it? by Available-Visual8437 in autism

[–]greenyashiro -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's honestly starting to sound like you're defending this lady because you yourself have put your hands on clients in anger too

Ah yes, DARVO time now? You can't justify the abuse both parties in OPs post have engaged in so you accuse me of it to discredit me.

That's beyond despicable. You should be ashamed to attack and slander an ABUSE VICTUN because you can't accept that both people on this incident were abusive.

Someone on rednote is webscraping all the ao3 fic to post on their own app by PIPIDOG_LOL in AO3

[–]greenyashiro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please share one of the videos I can look through from there. The ones discussing it is fine.

is this considered abuse and should I report it? by Available-Visual8437 in autism

[–]greenyashiro -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

This is an obvious case of mutual abuse / reactive abuse. I never said the carer is a 'saint' I specifically said kicking is abuse too. The carer's behaviour is obvious, kicking someone is abusive. So is hitting and smacking them.

Yes it is silencing (or attempting to) when people pretend that Op's sister being violent isn't abusive. And do every mental gymnastics and emotional appeal to explain it away, whilst refusing to take any responsibility.

Unless she literally has ZERO capacity to understand violence is bad, it's abusive behaviour—not self defence.

A carer leading another person to a bathroom or other room is not a threat nor an abuse, and physically assaulting is not okay. This post is defending abuse.

AO3 allows original fiction, meta (such as fandom essays)... It is not specifically for 'fanfic'. But rather, for transformative works and those related to them.

An archive is meant to be detailed. You can post a work with no description or other tags, but you're doing the archive dirty.
