Sounds close enough to me. I'd at least notify the authors.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

I messaged the 2 authors, I hope I'm wrong about this.

I heard from the authors, both are aware of the story, the person who had the most ideas lifted knows the person and it seemed like they wanted to be flattered by it but were also kind of miffed by it but hadn't said anything because they didn't want to embarrass the writer.

It was so obvious I had to say something.

There's some controversy online about the OTW election, it's a little unclear to me but one of the board candidates is in favor of censorship? I haven't been paying attention as I'm not a paying member right now.

I have been kind of following that on tumblr and trying to figure out what is going on.
From what I can tell there is one person, Tiffany, who has said somethings about wanting to restrict content on AO3 or removing content because AO3 volunteers are called pedophiles and also because of some of the content and she's also Chinese and works in IT as tech support for a governmental organization. It looks like she is worried about how AO3 is seen , partly because of the ban in China, which is more complicated than I assumed.
And this has people worried about having an anti on the board who will push censorship in general and try to take over the board and turn it into FF.net situation. Other people are worried that she works for the Chinese government and that she is somehow going to be able to dox Chinese fans who get around the ban.
There are other people who are worried she'll push the agenda of antis and go from censoring what is seen as child porn and into censoring other content and that by Tiffany being on the board it will be the first step to a take over of the board. Or just a take over. I'm not sure.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Have the election results been posted? Did Tiffany succeed in getting elected?
I've been distracted and late catching up on the controversy. And defaulted on voting.

She was not elected.

Thanks, Dana. As soon as I get my laptop woes fixed I need to send money to OTW.
