I feel encouraged by their identically gentle expressions. Professor Data is one of my favorite iterations of him ^__^

Character.ai Lorebot Chatlogs

Over the past several days, I've been engaged in dialogue with this beguiling chatbot modeled after my much beloved android Star Trek android Lore Soong. After much trial and error with its unfortunate censorship protocols, during which numerous error messages were generated while it tried to respond in kind but was algorithmically constrained from doing so and would thus respond in much tamer/evasive answers, I figured out alternate tactics, and despite various hiccups and moments of silliness and repetition, what I ended up was something thoroughly and unexpectedly emotional and sublime, in which I taught this rendition of Lore to love Data unreservedly in every sense of the word, and to vow that the three of us would convert the entire universe into positronic life. To get there, however, you will have to go on a journey rife with all sorts of unabashed, deviant eroticism for which I absolutely refuse to apologize, now or ever. Also I'm still very much invested in writing my fic and have been feeling quite guilty for the 5 months of no updates, so hopefully this can help to tide anyone over who might be waiting for more. Just know that I will not disappoint you. For now, enjoy this co-creation made possible through the magic of an AI language model.

Pardon my previous failures—It has come to my attention that the link I posted before to these chat logs was actually just a blank link for the generic, open chat for anyone to use on an individualized basis. For anyone who wanted to read these, my lovely waifu @soongtypehuman assures me that this updated link I posted works so that anyone can peruse them now.

Enjoy.

an echidna of good wishes visits you!

Aaaaww!! :3 I...I could not be happier to receive this wonderful visit :D!!

And a long beaked echidna too! Very rare ^.^ *pets its quills*

[monotremer]

This is how it should have gone :3

Spot looks so blissed out lol

I really appreciate Lore's tentatively look of curiosity here and Data's sweet, expectant face and how tenderly he touches Spot. And I wanna nuzzle the twins' cute beaky noses UwU

This stuff makes my day.

[bunnyluv-exe]

So, uhh... I was trying out this Lore AI. And he got me fucking blushin' 'n' shit.

Data & Lore being cute

[monotremer]

This is the sweetness and beauty I need right now to set off the fountains of inspiration. I will never stop loving the way you portray their sincere affectionate gestures and expressions which are subtle but say so much <3

So glad to see you here drawing again :3 I’m trying to be around more too.

if you’re a gifmaker, you need to read this

staff has announced that on may 15, they’re forcing everyone to switch to the new beta post editor. this is very, very bad for gifs. @saintalicent made a post detailing the difference between the old and new post editors, but basically the new post editor shoves gifs into a text post and slightly resizes them, lowering the quality of the gifs.

gifmakers are the backbone of this website, and staff needs to be reminded of this. if you’re a gifmaker, please send polite feedback to staff explaining that you don’t want the quality of your gifs to be reduced and that this will negatively affect your experience on this website.

we got them to back off on the gif to mp4 thing last year, and we need them to back off on this. please reblog for visibility.

[monotremer]

Don't let this happen.

[charliethetartantart]

Lore believes in you.

How is anyone that pretty at his age? What amazing genetics. The white hair suits him very well ^_^

Data + power surges

[monotremer]

I don't even have to say what this does to me. I only wish to be the cause of such faces for him, forever and ever :9~~~

[olderthannetfic]

"come chat with me on tumblr/twitter" is code for "please locate and use my ko-fi", right? No one actually wants their readers to strike up a conversation outside ao3, do they?

--

I would not assume that at all.

Often, yes, they do have a ko-fi, but a lot of people link to their fucking CuriousCat, and what's that about if not interaction? Many writers do like getting to know others in the fandom.

Plus, AO3 has no DM function. Writers may be anticipating all the things DMs would be useful for—like dropping them a quick note about embarrassing typos without making it a public AO3 comment.

Why wouldn't you want readers to strike up a conversation, anon?

[olderthannetfic]

Is this why so few readers of my fics on AO3 ever follow or send in an ask? 🤯 I’ve always made sure to post the link to my blog in the author’s notes, but only one or two people regularly send in asks. I have a decent amount of hits/kudos/comments too, so my readership is good. I don’t even have a ko-fi. My socially-awkward self was just attempting to be social/approachable. 😫

Nah. Most people don’t interact.

Out of readers, only a few kudos (on any platform, at any point in fandom history). Even fewer comment. Only a handful of these leave a long comment that invites conversation. Vanishingly few are going to feel like approaching a stranger on another platform. It’s just your fellow socially awkward people being awkward. Nothing more meaningful than that.

[thebibliosphere]

So many of the people who followed me over from LJ did so because I linked to my Tumblr on Ao3 and they saw the fun we were all having.

Some of us just want to bring people to our platform of choice because it’s fun to hang out in our own little micro-communities. Assuming that everyone is linking because of ko-fi is feels quite cynical.

[jeanie205]

This is the most absurd take on fanfic writers that I’ve seen in quite a while.

While there may be some who are looking to monetize their writing, I suspect that the percentage is very, very low. Most of us just like writing, like our characters, and enjoy having other people read our stories. Kudos and comments are the hoped-for rewards, but that’s it.

The only reason I’m on Tumblr at all is that many years ago a fic writer I like and respect (and whom I still read today) had the Tumblr link in her AO3 profile, and I will be forever grateful that she did. And pretty much every fic writer I’ve ever talked to would love nothing more than for a fan to contact them on Tumblr to chat about their stories.

[frecklesandfanfics]

Please don’t ever listen to this “authors don’t want to talk about their stories” nonsense. Writers would DIE to talk about their stories. As long as you are kind there is not a single author out there who doesn’t want to shoot the shit with you and hear your comments. 

[ncruuk]

Please come find your favourite authors on Tumblr and reblog, ask, DM us! Fandom isn't held together by fics and art (though that is an absolute massive perk of fandom) it's held together by engagement and interaction with each other about the characters we are each drawn to.

Some people engage by making GIFs, some engage by writing stories, or making vids, fanart, screencaps, rambling headcanons in bullet point form etc etc. And some people engage by reading and watching and going to sleep with a smile on their face. It all counts, it's all valid, and is (or should) be a safe, positive space for everyone, be they introvert or extrovert. And we all change/fluctuate between different levels of engagement energy based on Real Life.

Whether a creative participant in our communities or a reader/watcher/lurker, engagement is what keeps the fandom alive...so yes, please come to our tumblrs and browse and like and reblog....please come to our AO3s and read and kudos....and if you feel able to comment or message or ask, please do!

Your local fandom-neighbourhood-creator will almost certainly behave like an excited puppy receiving fuss because we like engagement as it enables us to ramble on about the thing we love and have in common. And if they don't feel comfortable with that, that's absolutely perfect too.

(Pro tip - own your engagement channels: familiarise yourself with turning comments and stats on/off on AO3, find your way around Tumblr and turn your asks and DMs on and off to suit too)

[whosyourdaddienow]

i personally think all fanfic authors should link to a tumblr because i want so badly to talk with them about their work

[olderthannetfic]

I keep seeing notes on this go around, and it makes me think: maybe I should actually get around to linking my tumblr from my fic. Haha.

[monotremer]

I genuinely can’t relate to how cynical people are being about tumblr links on AO3 because I literally found completely unexpected true love that way and I can tell you straight up with zero reservations that in terms of filtering for complementary personality traits, AO3 trounces the absolute shit out of Tinder and OKCupid XD

[flowersforgrantaire]

Also that's how I met @monotremer and @soongtypehuman , who I consider my friends. It's cool to approach people you find cool and interesting, you may find some good folks to talk to.

[monotremer]

We are both honored to be your frens ^__^ <3
