Good chapter, thanks!
Though honestly, the fact that text selection was disabled too… As much as I don’t mind you trying to block the chapters from getting leaked, this is getting kinda ridiculous. Text selection is basically my pet peeve, considering how easy it is to bypass — blocking it is just being annoying. It blocks doing quick web searches, actually bookmarking parts of the text on mobile.
All this effort, when you’re making money from someone else’s property… I think I’ll call it a part there and go back to following releases on AO3. Cheerio.
It’s kind of bizarre that you are white knighting for Rowling who has a net worth of 795 million pounds all the while admitting to having paid to read Gladiusx fan fiction in the past.
I understand, and I can only say, take care and thank you for the support. Ao3 (and all the other public) releases are the most edited in the end, having gone through at least two or three rounds each. In the end, everything that I write will be available for free. A few advanced chapters at the same pace as public release is the only thing I can feasibly think of as a repayment for people who want to support me. I am open to other ideas, really.
I didn’t care about text selection before, but someone outright copied and started posting my stuff. Not only was it unedited, but my previous work was still not fully posted, and it killed my motivation to write for weeks. Piracy is one thing that didn’t really bother me, but outright plagiarism was the red line for me.
I know there’s no ‘foolproof’ method to prevent copying, but in the end, it only reduces me to putting hoops in hopes that enough bars would make it too much of a hassle for posting my stuff.
