Chapter 4: Youâre Gonna Go Far, Kid
âIâll tell the others of your arrival, Triss,â the boy announced.
Ciri turned to him, tugging at the scabbard slung across his back.
âItâs okay Ciri. Triss will bring you back to the keep. If she tries anythingâ â
âSlice her up and feed her to the forktails!â the young witcheress replied enthusiastically.

Chapter 3: Thunder and Honey
Its wings beat like horrible sails, churning up the dust in the courtyard. Itâs terrible maw overflowed with foul saliva and Leo could almost feel it dripping down on him as he cowered behind the barrel. The witchers would kill it. Theyâd end its life and save him. They must.
Casâ first hunt goes horribly wrong. For everyone involved.

saw this being debated and just wanted to talk about it too.
"is it rude if I politely ask a writer if they use ai or chatgpt on their works because I'm almost certain they do?"
yes, it is rude. no matter how polite you are being when you ask them this.
you say you are almost certain. so you are not absolutely certain.
unless you are absolutely, undoubtedly certain â with actual proof â that their writing is ai generated, never ever ask an artist if their work is ai generated.
I know several writers who would stop writing and delete all of their works if they were ever accused of using ai. so it doesn't matter if you are polite when you ask them this, you are suggesting that their works are ai generated, that they didn't create the works they could have spent hours, days, weeks, months or years working on.
ai and chatgpt are trained on real humans' works, they are trained to mimic the way real humans write. so if you say a genuine writer's work "looks ai", I'm gonna have to ask you what you think ai was trained on.
a writer whose English isn't their first language may also write in a way that "looks ai" to some, if they write in English and have to rely on translator.
using em dash isn't a sign of ai. I do it all the time. my fellow writers all love em dash.
having long paragraphs with "overly described scenes" isn't a sign of ai. I do it all the time, and so do my fellow writers.
all the "ai signs" are actually just what most writers actually do. they get mistaken for "ai signs" because sometimes the way writers write or describe a scene in a fanfic or an original work is different than the way people talk or text. because they're writing a fic and describing a scene, not chatting with a friend. the way I talk is different than the way I write my fics.
if you suspect a work was ai generated, but are not 100% sure, you can always just stop reading said work without saying anything.
if someone does use ai to write, they will either a.) deny and continue using ai to write or b.) admit because they see nothing wrong with it and continue using ai to write.
if a genuine writer was wrongly accused of using ai, they may stop writing altogether.
asking a writer if they use ai or chatgpt to write will always do more harm than good. witch hunting will always do more harm than good.
you are not "fighting against ai" by throwing around such accusations. you are harming genuine writers and artists.
It isnt an accusation. Its a fucking question. One that protects the very communities and artists that this post claims to defend.
all of the fanfic writers, whom I personally know, say the same thing that they would feel discouraged and might delete all their works if they were asked this.
itâs not âhey do you like x or yâ question. itâs a subtle implication that your work looks like it was written by a robot within a minute. if you personally donât find that offensive, thatâs cool. but I know a lot of writers do. and they have the rights to be discouraged by it.
also we are talking about fanfic writers who write as their hobby, getaway or safe place, writers whose works you read for free. not writers who sell their works and are making profit from what they write. fanfic writers donât owe you anything.
This just came across my dash. I'm going to be blunt.
Asking a writer or artist if they âuse AIâ is an accusation, no matter how you dress it up. Itâs not neutral. It implies you think their effort, style, or voice is artificial. It implies that their human work doesnât look human enough for you.
You donât protect the community by policing people who are actually creating from scratch. You protect it by supporting human creators, reporting confirmed AI misuse when thereâs evidence, and learning the difference between this sounds different than what Iâd write and this is machine-generated.
Writersâespecially fanfic authorsâalready pour their time, emotion, and identity into what they share for free. They donât owe anyone proof of authenticity on top of that. And if your question makes someone want to quit writing, itâs not protecting the community. Itâs shrinking it.
If youâre not 100% sure, just scroll. AI ethics donât need to turn into public inquisition season.
âAnd if your question makes someone want to quit writing, itâs not protecting the community. Itâs shrinking it.â

Vesemir gets a last chance to teach, Ciri gets a brother, and Cas? Cas gets a slightly baggy top and a knife to the throat.
Since I last posted Iâve finished high school, finished my bachelorâs degree, started my masters, and started a full time job. Iâve loved and lost and loved again anyway. And now itâs his turn. Everyone meet, or re-meet, Cas, my decade old OC pulled out of retirement to add some comedy to the bleak fields of Velen. And if you donât fall in love with him⊠wait til you meet Koel.

fun things that tend to get lost in dracula adaptations:
dracula throwing jonathans mirror out the window & leaving; jonathans reaction being essentially âgod dammit how am i gonna shave nowâ
draculas shitty straw hat that he wears during his frantic daytime errands
jonathan trying to whack dracula with a shovel
general respect for lucy & mina
âwe should have pity for draculaâ âyeah have pity for him when i slam dunk him into hellâ âJONATHANâ
quincey quietly stepping out during van helsings long boring vampire lecture & waking everyone up by shooting the fucking window in bc he saw a bat
quincey in general like why would you make the conscious decision to not have a cowboy in your vampire movie
jonathan almost dying bc he ate some spicy chicken
Dracula throwing a wolf through a window
A woman literally dying of fright because Dracula threw a wolf through her window
Mina getting stuck in a magic bread-circle because vampires want her to dance in the snow with them
Draculaâs potentially very real affection for Jonathan, i.e., passing up every opportunity to actually kill him, despite Jonathan (a sickly human man) physically attacking Dracula (an undead military leader & sorcerer trained by the devil himself) several times
Turns out the horsemen of the Apocalypse now prefer to go by Shareholder Profit, Private Equity, Corporate Personhood, and Workforce Optimization.
