AO3 is in trouble, it seems. So we talk about fanfic, legalities (we are not lawyers), and more! Then we get on the topic of NaNoWriMo replacements and their pros and cons. Happy November!

Mur and Ursula are fully supportive of LGBTQ+ folks, believe that Black Lives Matter, and trans rights are human rights, despite which direction the political winds blow.

And “AI” or large language models is wretched and we hate it so very much.
