Could’ve been a legit account that got hacked. AFAIK, Discord’s pretty responsive to complaints. As to art, find a real artist (there’s likely websites for that), or figure out chat GPT yourself.

Aside from my paranoia as an adult, my parents’ homophobia is likely the only reason they haven’t figured out I’m bi. Hearing your teenage girl singing the chorus of Spill the Wine as “Do I dig that girl? Heh!” probably should have made them question things. Fortunately, Heiferlump just thinks I’m embarrassing; her reaction to me singing is to roll over, grunt, fart, and go back to sleep with her paws over her nose. Cats don’t let you get a big head. (Yeah. Almost and I just figured out I’ve been singing that wrong all these years. Freud would be clicking his heels with joy over that slip.)

TBH, the flattery can be nice. The last one I got on AO3… the spammer took a moment to read the chapter (or had AI do it), And according to what I’ve read, the request to other websites for comms, will eventually lead to $$ demands. Not sure if they *actually* produce AI generated art or not, but $$ and fanfiction mix as well as gasoline/matches .

They just spam that crap all over. I feel bad for vulnerable users who might think it is genuine and get scammed :(

I definitely had very similar reviews on my two ff net stories years ago, the scam’s gonna be getting old enough to drink soon.

After poking around a bit, this is a big issue on some other archives as well. I did check Discord for that person’s handle, and got nothing, which should be the first red flag for anyone thinking about an offer like that. The only thing we can do is to remind everyone to be ever so paranoid about offers that sound too good to be true. Real artists will never spam review boards looking for work.

The net got so much smaller since I was a kid. It makes me sad.
