Friendly reminder that AO3 is fighting AI data scrapers on behalf of all fanfic writers!
According to the post below, AO3 issued a DMCA takedown after finding out that all works before March 2025 were scraped and uploaded as a dataset to potentially train AI. The ability to take legal action against scum like this is the direct result of people donating to AO3 so they can keep functioning and they don't pocket any of it because they are a non-profit organization.
So when you see the AO3 donation drives, please remember that this is what the money is going toward and support it when you can!

...so the biggest joy that it brings me is when my character is helpful to others...

Had that with Buxtehude
We make fun of Americans and their geography knowledge a lot but I have a confession to make: as a child I didn't believe Panama existed. I read this children's book about a tiger and a bear trying to travel to Panama and I was like well the tiger and bear are fictional so obviously Panama is a fictional made up country.
Hallo
Apparently we now find out how asks work
I want to be able to eat pine cones. They look so tasty and crunchy, I want to put them in my mouth. I want to nibble on them while watching a movie or reading a book or sitting by a bonfire. I want to eat them like biscuits with tea and as a snack on a long drive. I yearn for the crunch. I want to eat pine cones. Let me eat pine cones!
I wrote a lil something :)
Hope you enjoy!
As "Rebecca das Musical" connoisseurs™, @edgyparrot and I cooked something up.
We've seen a lot of different versions (never enough) and now we're basically deciding who's best at the characters and putting them in one dream cast.
Ich: Nienke Latten (only from the Wilemijn cast, not with Mark)
Maxim de Winter: Jan Ammann
Mrs Danvers: Pia Douwes (@edgyparrot's love)
Beatrice Lacy: Kerstin Ibald (my love)
Giles Lacy: Raphael Dörr
Frank Crawley: Jörg Neubauer (the chemistry with Jan, omg)
Jack Favell: Hannes Staffler/ Mark Seibert (I know he's theoretically never played Jack, but he basically plays Maxim how I imagine Jack to be, and let's be honest, he would slay)
Ben: Daniele Nonnis
Mrs van Hopper: Isabel Dörfler (our queen <3)
Frith: Matthias Graf
Robert: (forgot his name, will look it up later)
Clarice: Christina Patten
We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments (but accept no criticism :))
I love her so much
