Just letting everyone know there's been another AO3 scrape: 
          
          all content that was on the wesbiste prior to February  (and many other fan art/writing websites) has been scraped by HuggingFace user, so it can be reuploaded elsewhere without the author's knowledge/consent, and even used to train generative AI. 
          
          I'm disgusted and considering making my AO3 stories register-only to prevent future scrapes

"Don't get me started on the fucking True Crime girlies..." Artemis began furiously.
          
          "Oh god, not this again," Robin sighed.
          
          "They're making sexy edits of my dad and sister!" She exploded. "I'll be minding my own business, doomscrolling, and BAM! A naked edit of my sister!"
          
          "To be fair, people make sexy edits of us and the league," Wally pointed out.
          
          "Yeah, but we aren't murderers!"

As someone who joined the YJ fandom in 2018, it continues to blow my mind how whitewashing the fandom was in the early 2010s. 
          
          Go on devientart (or even here on wattpad) and you can find people fancasting Artemis as random blond white girls, and AUs where the sole reason it exists is to replace Kaldur with Garth, not because they like Garth, but because Kaldur's Racially-charged storylines made them (white kids) uncomfortable. You can also find endless examples of people drawing both of them with much lighter skin tones. 
          
          I literally can't condemn this enough cause especially I'm Kaldur's case: his racial identities are important to the plot and character arcs!! 
          
          Idk what I'm trying to get out of posting it, but I just feel like this fandom was SO SO bad to fans of colour back in the day and I really want to try and make it better.

Hey I knew I said I was good on Conner whump for a bit but uh... Something is happening and I need an easy vent fic

folks I've either experienced something profound I was never meant to be aware of, or I'm having a psychotic episode... 
          very scary either way, don't recommend.

Can I just give a big thank you to my regulars for all the love on my recent chapters, every comment helps so so much you have no idea<3 
          
          I'm looking for ideas of what to write next, I figure I've done a fair bit of Conner and Kaldur whump for the time being, but I'm open to any suggestions!

Just a little behind-the-scenes thing here: I'm planning out my big 2-part return to the Oneshots book... 
          I'm thinking part 1 is all whump, and then part 2 is more of a hurt/comfort recovery fic. 
          
          If you have any ideas of how I should injure characters, or how their mentors should react, lmk!

Hey guys, 
          just wanted to give an update on my little hiatus: I'm currently pulling myself out of a bad depressive episode, working on quitting smoking and mentally fighting to recover from at least half a year of chronic malnutrition. 
          
          It got so bad I lost my ability to write, draw, feed myself, keep up with hygiene, manage substance use, etc. There were issues with SH and suicidal ideation too, suffice to say I have lots of content for whump and hurt/comfort. 
          
          Recently I've been deep in the Star Trek TNG fixation, so I've mostly been venting through that, but even that's been a struggle, so I didn't want to pressure myself with keeping up with my regular books. I just needed to write and put my stuff out there without worrying about my regular followers  reading it. 
          
          I swear I won't go MIA, I just don't want to push myself to write for mt wattpad books until I'm a little more stable. 
          
          Thanks so much for your patience, folks, and I promise I'll be back with a bang before you know it! 
          
          xoxo
