putting my ao3 fic to viewable by registered users only

[wrennette]

acting with an excess of caution, i'm making all my works on ao3 viewable by 'registered users only' as a result of this post re: sudowrites ai.

the tldr is that sudowrites ai has been scraping ao3 and using that text as the dataset to train their ai. i don't like doing this, but i also don't want to be part of the dataset. hopefully this is something ao3 can push back against.

I did the same thing. For now, anyway, since locking them makes it so discord bots can't grab their info to summarize them when someone posts a link
