Work Description:
I am auctioning off some handmade fabric bookmarks! Winner will be able to choose from four different options: three Avengers-themed bookmarks and one Captain Marvel-themed bookmark. Examples are on my pinned post on my Tumblr.

Size vary from about 7 to 9 inches (20-25cm) tall and 2 to 3 inches wide.

I’ll add one bookmark for every 20$ increment over 20$ (so a bid of 0-20$ would get you one bookmark, 21-40$ 2 bookmarks, etc). The bookmarks will be shipped from Canada. I can pay for shipping by standard mail in Canada and the US, but if you’d like it mailed with a tracking number or outside of the US/Canada, you’ll have to pay for it.

Since I have several bookmarks per fabric, I’ll most likely have enough inventory for my winners across all my auctions even if two or three winners request the same bookmark. In the extremely rare event that I have more winners wanting the same bookmarks and not enough inventory (the only way this might happen is if two winners bid high enough to win more than one bookmark, they both decide they want the same bookmark twice instead of two different ones, AND the third winner also wants that same bookmark), the person with the highest bid will get preference.

The Policy and Abuse Committee (PAC) has gotten several tickets where folks have lost access to their AO3 account because someone else has logged in and changed the email/password.

hello could you help me find this stucky fic that i read a couple of years ago but suddenly i cant find it in my ao3 bookmarks even though im very sure i added it there. i dont remember exact specifics of the fic but if im recalling it correctly then it was set after ws and basically steve is living in this brownstone? type apartment, basically its this very small and budget type of place either in queens or brooklyn. idr where but it certainly wasnt the main new york area. and then bucky basically come there due to some reason and starts living with steve there. i also remember that there is this cat that finds its way into stucky's lives and bucky kind of adopts it. there are also these older neighbours they had that are just so cute and adorable and i think later in the fic bucky even had gossip sessions with some of the older ladies. i also remember that stucky later in the fic move to the avengers towers but they still love their little house in this dilapidated building and often come back to meet with the neighbours and all. i also remember that there was this outtake fic? or chapter i cant recall, but it had stucky coming back to their apartment to spend thanksgiving with the older neighbours. i think a lot of it was basically bucky getting back his memories, steve and bucky falling in love and it was quite heavy and intense but also had fun, cute, fluffy and funny moments. pleaseeee please help me find it. i dont know if i just lost or its been deleted. please help!

Some bits of this give me « This, You Protect »by owlet vibes, but I’m not 100% sure?

posted by epicstuckyficrecs

Ok maybe you might know the fic I’m looking for. It’s possible I’m thinking of more than one fic but I just can’t find it no matter how much I look. It’s a Stucky fic that I read a few years ago I don’t know if it’s been deleted or if I’m just not using the right search terms. Basically one of the best scenes I remember is that Steve walks into a cell where Bucky/winter soldier is. Steve sits on a chair and hand feeds Bucky and himself from a tray of food. I also remember a scene where there seems to be either a recording or a memory of Bucky resisting hydra by screaming at them that they can’t tell him what to do, that they aren’t his dom/daddy, only Steve can tell him what to do. There was something about Bucky being too unstable to be used by hydra. Please let me know if you know what fic or fics these come from. Love y’all. Thanks for the help in advance.

Ps. There is another one where Tony and the others find the winter soldier’s cryo pod and break him out of the hydra base. then they find out it’s Bucky and Steve freaks out insisting they get him out immediately. And Tony has to convince him to slow down so they can thaw Bucky out safely. I can’t remember if that’s part of the same fanfic or a different one, but I can’t find this one either if it’s a different one. 

okay so I don’t know the fic from your first paragraph, but the second I think could be Effects of Obliteration by geneticallydead ?

Before the fall of the Soviet Union, the Winter Soldier was sent to the American arm of Hydra - only there was a malfunction in the cryo-unit that meant it couldn’t be opened, and it was left, powered but abandoned, in an underground base.
25 years later, the Avengers find it.

Fandom Trumps Hate 2025 Calendar

We’re back, folks! FTH is back for be our ninth (!) auction, and there’s lots of good work to be done. (What is Fandom Trumps Hate?)

In this post you’ll find the calendar for the 2025 auction, along with links to some useful information, including this year’s list of supported organizations. (All of these same links can be found in our masthead, but since that’s not visible on mobile we wanted to make them easy to find elsewhere.) You’ll also find dates for our Crafts Bazaar. (wait, the what? Read more at our 2024 Crafts Bazaar page.)

Here is this year’s list of supported organizations. We’ll be posting more detailed profiles of each of them over the coming weeks. We also encourage you to look at the Auction FAQ (which has lots of useful information for people thinking about signing up as creators, as well as dedicated sections on bidding and on nonprofit orgs.) If you’re raring to go, you can look at our bidding policies.

Lastly, in a couple of weeks we’ll be kicking off our newly-revived offscreen activism blog @fthaction. Why not give it a follow?

FTH2025 Auction Calendar

Monday, January 20th: creator signups open for both the auction and the crafts bazaar

Sunday, February 2nd: creator signups close

Friday, February 21st: browsing period begins, crafts bazaar announcement goes live

Tuesday, February 25th, 8am ET: bidding opens

Saturday, March 1st, 8pm ET: auction bidding closes

Monday, March 10th: craft stalls close

Wednesday, March 12: proof of donations due


…and if you’re thinking the gap between the end of signups and the beginning of browsing period looks long: we have also noticed this! In order to accommodate some back-end changes that will help the auction run more smoothly, we’ve given ourselves an extra week to get ourselves set up. We’ve also got some stuff in the works to occupy that time – we’ll say more about that when the time arrives.

Together, we’re going to make sure that there is at least one (1) good thing in the world with the number 2025 attached to it.

SO HERE IS THE WHOLE STORY (SO FAR).

I am on my knees begging you to reblog this post and to stop reblogging the original ones I sent out yesterday. This is the complete account with all the most recent info; the other one is just sending people down senselessly panicked avenues that no longer lead anywhere.

IN SHORT

Cliff Weitzman, CEO of Speechify and (aspiring?) voice actor, used AI to scrape thousands of popular, finished works off AO3 to list them on his own for-profit website and in his attached app. He did this without getting any kind of permission from the authors of said work or informing AO3. Obviously.

When fandom at large was made aware of his theft and started pushing back, Weitzman issued a non-apology on the original social media posts—using 

  • his dyslexia; 
  • his intent to implement a tip-system for the plagiarized authors; and 
  • a sudden willingness to take down the work of every author who saw my original social media posts and emailed him individually with a ‘valid’ claim,

as reasons we should allow him to continue monetizing fanwork for his own financial gain.

When we less-than-kindly refused, he took down his ‘apologies’ as well as his website (allegedly—it’s possible that our complaints to his web host, the deluge of emails he received or the unanticipated traffic brought it down, since there wasn’t any sort of official statement made about it), and when it came back up several hours later, all of the work formerly listed in the fan fiction category was no longer there. 

THE TAKEAWAYS

1. Cliff Weitzman (aka Ofek Weitzman) is a scumbag with no qualms about taking fanwork without permission, feeding it to AI and monetizing it for his own financial gain; 

2. Fandom can really get things done when it wants to, and 

3. Our fanworks appear to be hidden, but they’re NOT DELETED from Weitzman’s servers, and independently published, original works are still listed without the authors’ permission. We need to hold this man responsible for his theft, keep an eye on both his current and future endeavors, and take action immediately when he crosses the line again. 

THE TIMELINE, THE DETAILS, THE SCREENSHOTS (behind the cut)

does anyone know wtf word-stream.com is or where to send them a takedown request? i just found a bunch of fics, including my own, hosted on this AI slop site—apparently offering what I assume are AI-generated audiobook versions & (equally AI-generated) ratings and reviews. i can’t take a closer look without signing up, which, no thank you, but it looks like they’re hosting the full fics and are peddling a paid subscription for the trouble of hosting them. can someone more knowledgeable than me explain what our options are in this situation?

image

First of all, I’m really sorry to all the authors that have had their works stolen and hosted on this site, this really sucks.

If you try to click on any of the sites, you get a link to the App Store app, which is called “WordStream - Audiobooks”.

image


Who is Ofek Weitzman? Apparently he’s also known as Cliff Weitzman, the CEO of Speechify, an AI Voice generator app famous for its partnership with Snoop.

Also, Cliff Weitzman is named as the copyright holder at the bottom:

image

If you search for Ofek/Cliff Weitzman, you find his name in the terms and conditions for Speechify.

image


Strange that someone with a legitimate company with a partnership with Brandon Sanderson would put their name behind a shady company stealing works from fanfic writers, but it may be worth reaching out to him on X.

Best case scenario is that someone has stolen the name for an app, but in that case, it would be good for him to know.

Otherwise, it would be good to start a dialogue about how authors can get their works taken down from this site!

It really does seem like this is the right guy to contact, based on the Youtube channel for WordStream, which features Cliff Weitzman!

Given his desire to work with authors, I hope he’s responsive to fanfic writers and can get everyone’s works taken down.

Thank you @makicarn & @fazedlight (see her reblog in the tags) for finding more information!! According to the listings for the app it’s only been live since October, which explains why we haven’t heard much about it yet. The website also purports to provide access to AI-voiced classic novels like (at a glance) Pride and Prejudice, Moby Dick and Sherlock Holmes, all of which are all in the public domain, which leads me to think the creator of the website wrongfully assumes copyright doesn’t pertain to fan fiction.

Per @echoekhi ’s advice (who’s done invaluable work for fandom with their project Copy-Knight) I have contacted OTW Legal, hoping they can help. Because word-stream doesn’t list a formal policy regarding copyright violations, and Weitzman doesn’t appear to publically own up to his connection to the website anywhere, (correction: I just watched the YouTube shorts Maki linked to and his face is right there along with the boast that we can access all of these free works for just one teensy payment, isn’t that just SO GENEROUS OF HIM) I agree with them that it’s inadvisable to file a DMCA takedown at this point. I wouldn’t trust it 1. with my personal information and 2. for it to actually go anywhere. That being said it’s definitely something to keep an eye on and obviously anyone whose work is listed there should do their own research and decide for themselves which steps they want to take.

Sorry to bring attention to such a crummy thing right before the holidays!!

Christ.

image

This man is asking us to do the work for him, all of us, individually. My man. You had an AI scrape THE ENTIRETY OF ARCHIVE OF OUR OWN to take works without our permission. This is ON YOU.

friends, if you feel like spending your day sending individual notices to this man, please go ahead. I do NOT advise you sharing personal information that you wouldn’t usually share online though.


Also, as a person with a learning disability of her own, and the wife of an elementary teacher who accommodates kids with disabilities like these, using your dyslexia as an excuse to steal people’s work without permission is DETESTABLE.

we have a DNS error! 🙌

image

UPDATE: the site is back up but it looks like all fanwork is gone (at least for now)! I still don’t trust this site further than I can throw its scummy CEO (who has since deleted his apologies and is probably praying for this to quietly go away, I suppose it’s up to us to decide whether we will let it) but YAY FOR NOW and THANK YOU ALL FOR SHARING & TAKING ACTION! THIS is what fandom looks like!

Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.

Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.

I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I’m a bit worried about it 😅

Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.

I’d like to remind everybody that this isn’t just about A03 or civil rights organizations. This could be applied to any 501 organization. That includes churches, schools, museums and library support organizations. All sorts of support organizations like soup kitchens or places like goodwill. Those are all non-profit organizations and they all have a 501 status. This is a threat to every civil organization we have that is meant to help the public.

So please contact your representatives. Please look this up on Twitter and click the link so you can call your representatives and voice against this. Because there’s a hell of a lot more at stake with a bill like this than just ao3. People’s lives could be at risk.

The House will vote THIS WEEK to determine whether the incoming Trump administration will have the power to shut down non-profit organizations with no due process.

Congress has already tried to fast-track this legislation once and failed because of the onslaught of calls to their offices. We can’t let them do this quietly. Congress giving Trump the power to crush dissent and target organizations fighting for justice is a betrayal. Tell your representatives to vote NO on this dangerous bill!

Update:

The House passed this, but there’s still two steps to go - The Senate needs to vote, and Biden does still have the time to veto it.

Not sure who to call in the Senate? Or what to say? 5 calls can help.

And you don’t have to call and actually talk to someone. Leaving a voicemail is just fine. Call while you’re eating dinner.

!!!SIGNAL BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST!!!

CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS!!!!

Attention Pennsylvania voters!

Senator Bob Casey’s race is now at a margin of 0.53%.

An automatic recount in PA is triggered with a margin of 0.5%. That’s a difference of 0.03% or a little over 2,000 votes. We need to make sure every ballot is counted here, and there’s thousands of uncounted ballots right now due to voter error.

Did you mail in a ballot? Check to see it was accepted here:

If it says anything other than accepted/counted/etc, your ballot needs your attention. A mistake in filling it out means that your ballot will not count unless you “cure” it. Check your county’s curing policies:

See full instructions for curing by county here.

You have until November 12 to cure your ballot in PA.

Do you know someone who mailed in a PA ballot? Please pass these links on to them. You may be the difference between their vote counting or not in a super close race.

Everyone else, you can help PA voters cure their ballots. If you live in Pennsylvania, you can help canvass in your county (see links in this thread). If you are in another state, you can sign up to call voters and help them cure by phone.

Want to help another state? Sign up for a shift through November 19.
