Hello! You don't have to answer this- but the scam you mentioned going around on Ao3/FF.NET with people asking to use peoples fics as 'inspiration' for art is a version of what is known as 'the muse scam'! I actually have a post talking about it on my side blog @scam-alerts if that might interest you! It talks about and explains what happens and what the goal of the scam is. I need to edit/update it with info on the Ao3/FF.NET aspect of it. But haven't gotten around to it yet lol. Hope that helps in some way! Have a great day!
Oh, nice!
Signal boosting!
I'll even turn PMs back on on ff.net so I can send you screenshots of the exact scam messages lol.
