“Come with me to Weynon Priory.”

A few days ago, it was brought to my attention that someone was downloading/scraping locked Elder Scrolls, BG3, and Dragon Age fics from AO3 and posting the AI-slop on wattpad. They've been especially scraping Durgetash+Tavtash, Tavstarion, Lucanis Dellamorte, and Lucien Lachance fics.

My fics were included among those of a dozen or so other Ao3 authors, and I wanted to just get the word out here for others to be vigilant and take whatever action they feel best - ignore it and move on, look for your ai-mangled fics and report them, hide your fics temporarily or permanently, or maybe wipe your account etc. You do you, as they say. I'm not revealing the whistleblowers' names to protect their privacy, as one of them was a victim as well.

Sparknotes version: this plagiarist's now-deleted wattpad accounts were Jace-Attorney and Sabrina-Guilenese, but have threatened to simply make more accounts and continue their shit behavior now that they've been outed. They've been puking their trash into tags like "bad boy", "mafia", "mafiaprincess", "assassins", "hitmen" etc on wattpad. So if you're concerned, it's probably a good idea to comb those tags for their "transformed" fics like the one included below (the original Gortash fic is on the right, and the plagiarized one is one the left).
