I figured I should introduce myself officially since I’ve been lurking on Madam Secretary tumblr for a while now. Some of you may (or may not lol) know me from FanFiction as gypsysfeather! I just wanted to make a master listing of my MSec fanfics in case anyone is looking for some “new” ones (maybe that you haven’t seen on FF yet). I’ve loved being immersed in this MSec world for the past year!

On top of writing/reading MSec FanFic, I also am a full-time graduate student and am (trying to lol) write a book in all my "free time." I like to explore the human experience as much as I can, particularly through Elizabeth and Henry's characters. I like writing Henry/Elizabeth because they are so human in the show, which is something we don't always get to see in television and movies.

And of course, I'm ultimately a big Tim and Tea fan (how could you not be?). I also like to read romance novels and listen to memoirs on audiobooks, which sometimes my memoirs I'm reading appear in my stories because, well, I'm reading a lot of Madeleine Albright right now.

Thanks, everyone, for being so welcoming! Wish I'd have been part of this fandom when it was still on TV.

These are organized by flash, flash series, and stories, and then organized by rating as well. I have blurbs about the stories underneath and tell whether they're pre-Secretary (some of my favorites to write!) Scroll through and you can click on the titles to go to the FanFiction page.

Fanfic: The Daily Habit Ch 3, Madam Secretary | FanFiction

has anyone noticed any AI-generated stories going through the Madam Secretary Fanfiction? I am seeing some that are bringing up red flags, particularly due to some repetition in stories.

reblogging to add:

I'm no AI hater. I think that it's a tool, though it also is an "evil" tool because of the amount of damage it does to our environments and critical thinking skills. it's not going away, unfortunately, so I do find it necessary to learn about AI generation and such.

with that said, I do not love that AI has seemingly infiltrated fanfiction. FFN is a hobby--none of us are making money (wait, none of us are making money right LOL) and mostly we're doing it to add to the creative space and to get the glory of being a writer. ultimately, when people read and review AI stories, what's the point? it's not got any heart and soul in it if the writer used AI to generate (or my hypothesis is RE-generate many of our own works and tweak them) text.

there's a few resources about AI text and what it looks like in the comments on this post. if you're curious about what AI looks like sometimes, check it out!! and if you have other resources feel free to share them in the comments, too.

that's my rant on AI for the night. as I said, I'm no hater, but I'm also not a lover of it, and i would actually consider myself more of a hater when it comes to using AI for art and creativity purposes. use it as a brainstorming tool if you like, but not for the whole story.

this is a really nice, sweet fandom--if you're not comfortable in your own writing yet, that's okay! post it anyway and if you want, ask for constructive criticism. that's how we learn (that's how I learned over a decade ago).
