the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

[rudjedet]

And they're absolutely specifically pushing it, make no mistake. It's not just a matter of "it's there, it's convenient, so people are going to take the path of the least resistance", but it is a legitimate and concerted effort on the part of these companies to get people to outsource all these things to their models.

They're preying on insecurities to do it. Yes, you can write an essay - but can you write a good essay, they ask you. Do you not want to improve your output? Do you not want people to think of you as competent and very clever? Why go through the mortifying process of failing and failing and failing until you succeed if you can just skip the "learning" part of doing, and simply generate a ready-made product?

I'm preaching to the choir here obviously but it's a concerning thing to witness nonetheless. My kid is 6 next week and I've been teaching her that failing at things is morally neutral and in fact necessary even before the advent of AI, but it's becoming ever more important that we teach the kids that criticism and failure and discomfort aren't necessarily bad things, but just a part of the growth process.

Have we given any thought to hunger games fuffy? Slayerfest? Buffy sacrificing herself for dawn? Faith being amazing with the camera and flirting with paparazzi while hating everyone, and Buffy freezing up and not being able to mask her anger??? The mayor being Snow and manipulating the arena so his favorite contestant (faith) will win, only for faith to force Buffy to win by almost killing herself? I think about it.

[uhicareforcharacters]

We know Buffy is the worst driver in the whole world, like she's out there tying her hair back while actively on the highway and doing her lipstick across an intersection. Faith would be the BEST at driving. She started stealing her mom's boyfriend's cars to race when she was twelve.

They both get road rage though.

Triple crossover craziness here!

Faith literally just needed a smidge more positive attention at any point in her life huh?

[inconsistentlywrittensoul]

The problem with Faith's presence in the show is that yes, obviously she should have joined the main cast, maybe in Season 4 but by Season 6 at the latest. However, if this had happened, the writers would probably have insisted on making her straight, and certainly wouldn't have let Buffy lez out with her as we all know she should.

And instead we get a show with a severe Faith deficiency, but with an ending that is open to Buffy and Faith lezzing out pretty much immediately

holy shit this is going to lead to sooo many lawsuits lmao

Someone should securely connect OpenAI with chapter seven

Not sure why it's a new trend among fic readers to assume if the fic has not been posted within the week it's inappropriate to comment on it, like the fic has to be hot out of the oven to give feedback for.

I got a comment on a fic that is less than a year old and it was mostly an apology for being a comment on an "old fic" and how late they were in commenting.

Just comment on the fic. Doesn't matter how old it is.

[mysteryteacup]

Fandom is not social media.

Fandom is not trends.

Fandom is a cross between a library and having a slumber party with your friends.

"Old" means nothing to fic.
