The wholesale theft of stories as a response to AO3 being down is really getting me down, guys.

And you know what's fucked up? The theft of billions of stories isn't even in the news.

I know in the age of 'AI' I shouldn't be surprised, but this is huge, actually. And no one gives a shit because it's fanfic. And *fans* did this. Because they value fancreators so little and feel so entitled to free fiction that they can't wait a couple of week to *reread* stories.

It sucks. It all sucks.
