This collection will remain open for those who want to continue protesting on AI fanworks or other unresolved topics. This private collection was originally created for authors protesting OTW May 2023 announcement on using Fanfiction to Train AI. All Works posted here will be made private until OTW clarifies their stance and DOES NOT allow AI training without explicit permission of authors. Authors can add or remove their works anytime.

Our labor of love cannot be harvested without our permission for corporate profits. We are against unregulated AI. It is especially disgusting, that they chose to post this article in the middle of a writer's strike. For the Love of Fanfics, please voice your comments on the links above to influence OTW to change their stance. Please let me know if you want to be an owner of this collection. I will be happy to add co-owners so that no one thinks I am trying to control this.
