Hey I don’t know if this is being talked about on Tumblr but thankfully the AO3 subreddit has a conversation going about this app that just went live.

TikTok user unravel.me.now has just launch an app (lore.fm) she is calling “Audible for AO3”. It’s an app that uses AI voices to read out fics.

🚨She is requiring any authors who do not want their fics to be on this app to OPT OUT by emailing team@lore.fm 🚨 🚨She has not given an actual template or how you’re supposed to prove you’re the author or said how her team will process this or how she will keep these requests secure🚨

I do not have this app. I haven’t seen anyone use it yet. According to Reddit users, unravel.me.now’s earlier TikToks stated she envisions the app being able to create libraries stored on that app and to have version of “Spotify wrapped”. That implies that eventually data collection must happen, if it’s not happening currently.

I don’t know the actual capabilities of this app. I don’t know the legalities. I do know that it personally feels like this app is trying to turn AO3 into a content generation source and I haven’t heard of the app allowing you to leave a comment or kudos or interact with the original work.

I’m just sad about this.

I checked their page and I found this:

So for now it seems like this could be the only barrier we have? Because their email system seems absolutely fucked and inefficient.

me forcing my followers to look at my newest obsession

I just made this and figured I should share it with the world, not just one discord server.

Every time…

in movies, when a scientist is held hostage and is forced to make a bomb or virus, like my guy, those villains don’t know shit about science. just make a gumball machine, my dude

eighth grade science fair volcano, but fancy looking

 i just want once where the villain is like, you are too late, i detonated the device and instead of doom and gloom it is just confetti sparklers with abba’s waterloo playing and the scientist is like, bitch you thought 

every time a scientist gets kidnapped to build a terrible weapon, they think about just bullshitting it, but then a tiny voice in the back of their mind says, but don’t you want to see if you can? don’t you want to laugh madly as you show them all? don’t you want to just go feral?

Honestly when’s the next time you’ll get this kind of grant funding?

i love that wriothesley (top) and clorinde (bottom) banter with each other meanwhile neuvillette (bottom) and navia (top) probably hang out and cry together to unwind. i hope they have double date soon.

intruding?

the way wrio talks to and about neuvillette.. oh he’s so into that man

"Your face is cold, but I can feel how hard your heart is racing"

Married.

⚖️🐺 dangerous сriminаl

french old men yаоi

i fell down the 🐰hole because they too pretty (wip)

friendly reminder to go out, flirt and engage with your crush otherwise...

Clorinde: That shirt looks great, Neuvillette. Neuvillette: Thanks. Clorinde: But I bet it would look even better on Wriothesley's floor. Wriothesley: Are you hitting on Neuvillette... for me?

The funniest, the actual funniest part about Wriolette is that it started off of nothing but vibes. Literally. We had two attractive men, not even in the same scene in the "Final Feast" animation, and people decided they were married.

Was it because they were two attractive men? Probably. Did it make any sense? No, not really at the time. (To be clear, this isn't automatically a bad thing) Did it happen anyway? Yes.

Is there actual material for them now? Also yes.
