Ah damn. They got me too. I assume that’s what it means if I look up my username and there’s an actual answer. 47 works across two accounts. Fuck my life lol

Yup. I spent an hour last night going back and poisoning all my works and I’ll definitely be poisoning all my future works. But it still sucks that my work has already been stolen

I may do that later, I haven’t looked at the poising thing yet to know how it works, just kinda sad right now

Yeah :/ if it helps the poisoning is really easy, just tedious.

I created the work skin, then went back and poisoned every chapter. Also added the work skin to every work. Not hard, just tedious.

No problem. I had basically zero knowledge of anything involved I found the process to be pretty simple to follow, but if you have questions I’m happy to help. Definitely recommend checking out what ao3scrapesearch on tumblr has though
