Peak Brain: Making The Character Have An Assumption On People's Gender At The Beginning Then Slowly Moving

Hi. Pretty much all my fanfiction and some of my fanart has been uploaded to Ai.

I'm typing with a lot of anger and hurt right now so pardon me if don''t make sense. I've been told of people seeing excerpts of my written work showing up in character chat bots before, specfically with my IZ work and Solar Lunacy, and more recently The Rehabilitation of Death (TROD) and I'm so tired.

I've put these images together very hastily and I didn't have the heart to add much more. I've blocked out the names for the sake of privacy for the creators of these, but allow me to be explicitly clear:

Do not upload my artwork or fan fiction to AI, including c.ai.

I DO NOT consent for my work to be uploaded to any AI databases, chat bots, artificial character chat rooms or similar.

Not only are you morally fucking over authors and artists, but you can put us into severe legal trouble as well. This is not negotiable. I will never be able to undo the damage this has done, even if these chat bots go down, my writing and the artwork is now uploaded to the database.

This has made me reconsider sharing my writing online more than any online discourse would have ever done. If you do this, please consider what damage and disrespect you are doing to us, and please block me if you're fine with it.

I kind of suck at tagging, so I made this infographic to help make it easier.

Because of the bots taking all fics to feed it to AI you want to lock your work for registered users only but have too much fics to do that one by one?

FEAR NOT. You can edit in bulk!!

Here's a tuto

Firsr, go to your works and tap on "edit works".

Tap on "all". This will select every single fic you posted.

Then, tap on "edit".

You'll get to this page, so scroll aaaall the way down.

And boom. You get to all the possible changes. Now scroll to "Visibility". Now tap on "Only show to registered users" and finally, tap on "Update all works".

They'll ask you if you're sure, so say ok.

And boom! Your edits were put through !

And now your works are only available to registered users.

.

Reminder that if you have an AO3 account, you can give away invitations to others so they don't have to go through the wait of the normal registration.

I’ve been wanting to do a thing like this for a while. Behold my amazing animu mongah skills there wow swoons

Writing Accessibility PSA

Please avoid using long strings of characters as line breaks in your writing - these are not screen reader/TTS friendly!

Every ‘°’ will be read as ‘degree’ - can you imagine how long it takes to read out a string of 25? Let alone more complicated combinations of characters (eg. imagine listening to TTS read out ~*~ |°| ~*~ multiple times per line break)?

A good rule of thumb is to stick with short, 2-3 character line breaks (eg. I don’t find — or *** too egregious to listen to). Your readers can tell there’s been a scene change whether you use two or twenty em-dashes, but if you use twenty, some of us might have to listen for 30 seconds to read the next scene. If you’re more concerned about aesthetics, you can insert an image of your aesthetically pleasing line break with alt text simply reading ‘line break’ for accessibility.

Don’t feel bad if this is something you’ve never thought about before - now you know better and can make your writing more accessible moving forward!

I would like to invite any other screenreader users to add their own thoughts or preferences to this post. We’re not a monolith and there’s a variety to how different softwares interact with repeating character strings and images with alt text, so there’s bound to be some conflicting opinions on what I’ve suggested above. Let’s try to make the stories we share accessible for everyone :]

Natural Black Hair Tutorial! Usually Black hair is excluded in the hair tutorials which I have seen so I have gone through it in depth because it’s really not enough to tell someone simply, “Black hair is really curly, draw it really curly.” 

The next part of Black Hair In Depth will feature styles and ideas for designing characters and I will release it around February. If you would like to see certain styles, please shoot me a message!
