It is vintage times. The powers that be have decided to again remake the classic vampire novella Dracula for the screen. in an amazing show of inter-studio solidarity, Hollywood’s most elite hotties are up for the starring roles. the producers know whoever they cast will greatly impact the genre, quality, and tone of the finished film, so they are turning to their wisest voices for guidance.
Will it hit 2 million notes today?
If you're not following any of AO3's social media accounts you might be in the dark as to what kind of "spam comments" have engendered this banner at the top of the site:
These spam comments have been posted about a great deal on the AO3 subreddit for the past couple of days. Initially they comprised a bunch of guest (logged out users) bot comments that insulted authors by suggesting they were using AI and not writing their own fics. Some examples, from the subreddit:
But it then escalated to outright graphic porn images and gifs being posted in comments, again by logged out 'Guest' accounts. Obviously, I'm not going to give examples of those, but between these two bot infestations, AO3 has clearly decided to act and has temporarily closed the ability to post comments for users who are not logged in with an AO3 account.
Unfortunately, this means that genuine readers who don't have an AO3 account won't be able to leave comments on fics that they enjoy.
If you are a genuine reader who doesn't yet have an AO3 account, I strongly suggest getting yourself on the waiting list for one. More and more AO3 authors are now locking their fics down to registered users only - either due to these bot comments or concerns about AI scraping their work - which means you're probably missing out on a lot of great stuff.
Hopefully guest commenting will be enabled again at some point soon, but I suggest not waiting until then. Get yourself on that list.
Wait times are going to be longer than usual at the moment, due to the current Wattpad purge [info on Fanlore | Wattpad subreddit thread], but if you're in line, then your invite will come through eventually.
Update: There's now a Megathread about this on the AO3 subreddit.
Due to an influx of abusive spam comments, we've temporarily turned off the ability to leave comments while logged out. We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope to have guest comments back on soon! (16:06 UTC April 21, 2024)
@i-did-not-mean-to @cilil looks like the comment situation is being looked at!

Story by @oopsbirdficced / ingenious_spark (AO3)
Fic rating: Explicit/NC17
Warnings: for this chapter: none; for the full work: explicit sex, masturbation, references to marital rape, fantasy racism, violence & injury
Characters: Maeglin, the Sons of Fëanor
Summary:
The War of Wrath spares no person in Beleriand. All are affected, and so, all must answer the clarion call of war, in one way or another. With two Silmarils back in their grasp, the Fëanárions stand strong, all seven brothers alive and well, eyes turned to the third and the fulfillment of their oath. Lómion stands with them, even as the forces of Gondolin finally stir from their unmolested hiding place, Turucáno finally stepping forward to reluctantly take his crown. But without Eärendil and Elwing's desperate plea, how will the tides of war turn?
Chapter 5: Lómion and the Sons of Fëanor decide how to warn Doriath and Gondolin of the war, and petition for their aid.

it's all coming together
HEY HOW DID YOU DO THAT
LOL on desktop hold down the boop putton until it's had three full rotations up and down
super boops and evil boops don't appear to be possible on mobile tho?
you have to specifically go to the recipient's page, I think, and use the boop button on their actual page
I tried, and even four (both hover and hold down mouse) only give me super boops??
That's really odd! I held down the button, on the person's home page, until it's spun three times, then release, and it gives me the option to evil boop. Also I've tried to do it on mobile and it doesn't work at all.
one full rotation is up and down, so it might look like six spins??
@moonrose91 evil boops if you'd like? It may or may not work for you, it's apparently a little finicky
Maybe the real treasure was the boops we made along the way
In the grim darkness of April Fool’s, there is only boop.
Rough estimate: It's possible to reach 1000 boops in less than 2 hours (took me 1:30h), if you got some people to spam it to.
If you are a blog where people can spam boop's to, reblog this.
Come get ya boops 🙋🏻♀️
boop (have you eaten today? have you drank water? are you doing well? i love you. i wish you the best)
