So I thought the dni in my bio and the ๐ next to my name was pretty clear, but just to reiterate, PLEASE dont follow/interact w me unless youre 18+. Woke up this morning and literally had to block 3 diff accounts bc they were minors๐
โ๏ธโ๏ธ Health reasons lol I had a total hysterectomy years ago. I've also been without testosterone for almost a year now(not on purpose) My body just straight... doesn't produce hormones now and I have shit to worry ab that I wouldn't, had I kept an ovary, but I'm dumb lmao
Mostly unrelated but this is why the 'trans guys getting hysto but leaving one ovary in case they lose access to T' thing confuses me. Like are you guys just fine with estrogen? Wuh?
not a fan of how some of you are using this ai fic situation to shit on real writers because they arenโt writing fics up to your standards and you think they should โimproveโ
This is what I was trying to say, basically. Whether we bitch, piss and moan, people are going to use AI. But the witch hunts are wild and unnecessary bc what are you actually achieving? Other than making ppl try harder to hide AI usage
my hot take is that we've got to stop being so resistant to conversations about ai usage in fics. there HAS to be room for nuance. we should be able to advocate for authors without compromising basic standards of creative integrity. one shouldn't come at the cost of the other.
@AllMotherAloy Everyone saying this is AI only is killing me bc this used to be so common in fan works AND published. But now all of a sudden its a brand new thing that only AI does
@mcjamie It is literally the definition of purple prose, but if you don't think so, that's cool too! If its AI, I hope the people that don't want to read it can avoid it! I wish people would just use the AI tag on AO3 so this could all be avoided
As a fanfic author, this shit makes me never wanna publish words publicly again. If you think it's AI, block the damn author and move on. But keep witch hunting and eventually, all you'll be left with is AI fics because ppl will stop making their stuff public.
@mcjamie I just don't think it matters tbh. I get some people don't wanna read AI fics, thats fine! I know I don't lol But purple prose isn't a new thing, and neither are clunky writers. The above reads just like wattpad mafia fics I read at 14 on Wattpad.
@yuunster It's just purple prose! Why are we acting like this is a new thing?? I feel like unless someone literally left the AI prompt in the fic we shouldn't be hunting at all bc this whole thing is so dumb
@mcjamie Exactly! I like it tbh, it's not perfect, but its alright. And this could have also been written by someone who's first language isn't English, or a teenager. I just don't think its a good AI indicator for people to witch hunt with or why everyone is acting like it's a new thing
Who said anything ab fics being equal to published literature? Do u have writing qualifications? Critiqued anything before in a professional setting? No? Then don't offer unsolicited advice to something ppl post and write for free. Y'all just want an excuse to be cunts lmao
ao3 authors are a bunch of punks man. ๐these people donโt wanna proofread donโt want writing advice or general commentary or critique and iโm supposed to believe they simultaneously want fanfic to be taken as seriously as literature somehowโฆhilarious
@anniemainiacs Literally!! I used to write so often but I never post anything now even when I do. I like Purple Prose to a point and I think that first sentence slaps, honestly. But everything is just becoming an AI witch hunt and it's genuinely so exhausting
@mintencrave No seriously this whole thing is driving me insane. The second highlighted phrase is iffy (quality wise) but the first one?? I actually really liked. Like, you still get the feeling their trying to evoke. This tiny blurb doesn't come off as AI to me at all. Just a witch hunt.
what do you MEAN theres M-rated smut that is separate E-rated smut??? Is this why people are getting full on penetrative detailed sex scenes in the M rated fic category?? IM SO CONFUSED ABOUT THE RULES NOW
