✨An (incomplete) database of Terror Camp Resources✨ After the polar exploration high of Terror Camp is over I’ve sometimes found it difficult to find things again. So I’m compiling the resources shared this year into a little searchable database…

Friends, internet safety 101 please do not click any link you are not sure of the veracity & completely trust including here! Most of the data probably came from ao3 scrapes/archive way back scrapes. It’s already established not to trust these fake sites so do not “double check”
77k links, of which 1.7k are google docs, 12.8k are drive folders, and the rest are epubs. For the docs and drive folders, the uploaders email IDs are visible, many with what appears to be their real names. I'm sure many people are unaware their data has been compromised.

You can hide links as other links! If you’re worried your drive is compromised change the password! Set up 2fa. Remove the identifying information. Next time you click (if you have to) make sure you’re not a connected to school/work/identity.

Consider what fandom data, not collected/monetised by ao3, could be worth. What genre/trope is everyone reading? What is popular Who is reading what? Are there any trends? Break it down by geographics, age, gender etc True anonymity may be hard to achieve but don’t make it easy!

internet safety tip: if somebody tells you/does something that makes you feel strong emotions, and then asks for personal information or sends you a link, they’re likely phishing. take a deep breath and think before you act.
Writers friends, do not under any circumstances give these vibe coding thrives the email attached to your account.

btw, ao3 is open source on github, if you're suspicious about their maintenance you can just check their repo to see what they are working on based on their pull requests and you can dive deeper if you want to code for them. A big chunk of their Jira board is also open

Ok, I know business registrar stuff (US) doesn’t have to be in country of origin but like what I’m supposed to believe this beautiful heart plucking story that had previously had all the markers of a phishing scam at minimum ok ok ok, cool story, now tell the next one.
the ao3 dot life situation grows wilder

Obviously people will do what they want to do but if anyone cares about my opinion it’s this. Do Not Interact at all. Not even to check your work at this point. Do not give the more data to work with.
Repost so everyone stays informed: DO NOT email them DO NOT sign up DO NOT give them money for audio books DO NOT sign up for monetisation of works DO NOT download This seems to be a huge data scrape of deleted & available works uploaded to Ao3 only. Just DON'T INTERACT!!

New account, asking for emails on an emotional hotbed topic… hmmm even if this person is genuine I would be very wary of phishing/scams
In light of recent ao3 related events, I have stumbled upon a website that I think authors need to be made aware of.  The website ao3 [DOT] life has been scraping and downloading fics published to ao3 for who knows how long. 🧵

Ah see people discussing how there are deleted and protected fic in here, I would be EXTREMELY WARY about giving any information to this site, seems very malicious especially in light of the security breach that ao3 had.
