Do you have tips to get the best ai fanfiction prompt. I want to start writing fanfiction but I don’t know what to prompt

if you want to start writing then my advice is to actually write it yourself instead of letting a machine do it for you. “ai prompting” is not writing.

write what you want to read, but the most important part is that it’s you who do the writing

I’m blindsided by authors using ai in their works. how can readers and writers tell if the writing is ai generated?

I’m gonna assume writers know whether or not their own works are ai because they either write them themselves or have ai write for them.

but as for readers (or writers who read other writers’ works), no, you can’t tell unless the writer themself says their works are ai generated. anything else is witch hunt, speculations and possibly wrongful accusations — all of which harm the writing community as much as ai does, if not more.

so if at any point you think an untagged work is ai and if that bothers you, quietly click away. but you can never know for sure based on vibes. because everything ai writes, a human writer does. that’s what ai was trained on and what it was trained to mimic.

I’ve already talked more about this here, here, here. and more on my other blog @writingdose here and here.

Do you think people who are virgin should write smut? I feel like most of them don’t even know what they’re writing and just write what they think sex is

the implication this ask suggests that people who write about murders, cannibalism, politics, magic, royalty au, sci-fi, wars, supernatural, time travel, medieval era, werewolves, vampires, mermaids or goblins must be murderers, cannibals, presidents, wizards, royalties, astronauts, ghost hunters, soldiers, time travelers, knights, werewolves, vampires, mermaids or goblins in real life is so funny to me

Hi, I saw that you posted some warnings about spam/bot comments on people's fics, and felt I sould share this one that a friend of mine asked me for advice about. I told her to report it, but idk if others would know to

thank you for sending me this. this one is… disturbing.

psa to all writers, if you get a comment like this, it’s a bot and I encourage you to report it to ao3 as spam.

also I’d like to use this as an opportunity to remind myself and everybody that, with the surge of bot comments plaguing ao3 and how discouraging it can be for writers, it’s so important and appreciated to comment nice things on the fics you enjoy if you can. let the authors know you enjoy their works. seeing a genuine comment from a real person could really make their day.
