Bots getting smarter

mxcatmoonLooks like the bots at AO3 are getting cleverer. I write in dead fandoms so my stuff usually flies under the radar, but I've had a few of them suddenly. One was very clever -- it read like a pretty normal, genuine comment that seemed to apply to my fic. Until I responded to thank them, and then the pitch came. Damn them.
The second one was generic enough that I wasn't fooled.
To me, the worst part is that it's going to make creators suspicious of comments if they aren't specific enough to the plot of the story. That sucks.
But in other news, I really like the way my new icon turned out.

Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Marvel Comics (General)
Rating: General Audiences

Characters: Wanda Maximoff, Anna Marie
Additional Tags: Drabble, Crossover, +Modern Age (1986-Present)
Summary:
"Sugah, did you have a moment?" Rogue asked, looking ahead at the pack of grazing dinosaurs. Wanda shook her head to try and clear it, and decided that was definitely a valid question from her friend.
"I don't think I did?"
"It's not the Savage Land," Rogue said, after testing all her senses against this island they'd crashed on.
"So some mad scientist bought an island for cloning? Those don't look like the newer pictures of what dinosaurs are supposed to look like, after all."
"Well, before we find their hunting kind, let's get the comms back."
"Good plan, Rogue."

Return of the teenage boyfriend! (and pics)
Feb. 5th, 2026 01:41 pmmificRemember how my boyfriend from when I was 17 turned up out of the blue? Well, he dropped in again after doing his NZ tourist trip, and left me a bunch of memorabilia so I could scan it then mail it back to him. The letters are... written by an over-dramatic teenager with poetic delusions, so I quickly noped out of reading them. The pics are kind of fun, though, despite my terrible hairdo.

Feb. 4th, 2026 05:20 pmlycomingstSo since I moved here my living room tv, not a big one, and all the cable paraphernalia have been on the floor. I don't watch much in there and I didn't want to spend anything to get a table. It was far down on the list of things to buy. But I was eyeing a coffee table at the Fred Meyer's (grocery and department store in one) and there was a floor model very marked down.
The other day I said, if it's still there I'll get it. Original price about $150, bought for $42. That said, it's a wee bit too big for the space but the room has a less 'first apartment' vibe.
But the story (fascinating as it is) is even more interesting, because the same day I bought it I got a check in the mail for $53. A result of signing up for a class lawsuit suing somebody for something. A day of profit and a new table.
