Just a very, very quick update regarding the way I've been posting story links here:

As of this morning my time (Australian Eastern Standard Time), I've had to lock down my AO3 account due to the discovery of a bot that's been found to have scraped fics posted to AO3 for use in training AI. I don't know for sure that my fics have been affected, but at this stage I'm working off the assumption that they have been. Which means that a number of story links leading off the site are now broken for those of you without AO3 accounts. The following stories are affected:

+ Black Holes And Revelations
+ The Luckiest
+ Fire And The Flood

In the coming weeks I'll be working on getting those stories posted here properly. In the meantime, as I plan on keeping my account locked for the foreseeable future, I have a number of AO3 invites available that I'm more than happy to give out to any of my readers without an account of their own. You can send me an email, or drop me a DM on Twitter or Tumblr. My fics are also posted to my Dreamwidth as public posts.

I honestly hate that I've had to do this. I really do, and I'm truly sorry. I'll hopefully have an update for The Luckiest posted very soon that I hope will soften the blow somewhat.
