Will AI Be Considered Life Before Humans?

!!

it’s unfortunate that (some) people in fandom spaces are starting to get too comfortable complaining and being rude to writers and artists who create contents they personally don’t like (“why are you making this character a top when he’s obviously a bottom? omg do you even understand his character?” “I’m so sick of seeing fan art and fanfic where this character is portrayed as a sadist when he’s actually misunderstood in my opinions, therefore anyone who disagrees with me is wrong and should be shamed” just to name a few I’ve seen) instead of curating their own fandom experiences by engaging only with contents they do like.

you want more fics where (x) is written in this specific way? either write one yourself or politely expressing your opinion about how you hope there will be more fics where (x) is written in this specific way instead of making fandom a toxic place by being rude to writers and artists who dare make contents that are not to your Personal Liking.

if the universe does not revolve around you, strangers and fandom spaces don’t have to cater exclusively to your personal preferences either.

to all my beloved writers and artists, write whatever you want, draw whatever you want. portray that character in whichever way you want to portray. I hope you have fun doing what you love. don’t let anybody tell you what you can or can’t do with the blorbo. go wild. I will always support you

Never!

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

Still thinking about that crazy interaction with my friends the other day. So, four of us went out for breakfast to celebrate the end of the semester. Conversations went, talked about things, etc. And then then mic turns to me and I mentioned I love writing and how I started writing what society would be considered "insensible". My two friends sitting across from me didn't catch what I said (bc I wasn't about to out myself in a restaurant by saying 'yeah, I write gay shit') but my friend sitting next to me suddenly gasped and said, "you like BL?"

Startled by this, we shared a look before I nodded to them. And without a second to pause, they yell out, "Send them to me; I love BL!"

Im pretty sure the couple in the booth in front and behind us heard what they said. I, for one, was surprised bc they are really shy and introverted (I'm telling you, it's the shy ones).

Mind you, my friends from across the table had no idea what they just yelled out (I later told them what the term meant), but we were all caught up in laughter from their sudden outburst.

Anyway, I'm engaged now.

Now, we can return back to study for my finals after getting possessed by a fan story idea that I had to write about.

Sigh.

alright google calm down we all know this to be true

fanfic writers are so fucking awesome man. they write novel length fics that are sometimes even better than some published bestselling books written by professional writers. like fanfic writers are professional writers to me and they gift us their masterpieces for free. they give us something we can look forward to after a long day. something from which we can seek comfort when life is hard. something that can be our own little getaway. in a world of capitalism, despite everything, they give us all of these for free. like holy fuck. shout out to every fanfic writer. I wish all fanfic writers a very ‘I love you with all my heart and soul. I thank you from the bottom of my heart’

There's days I'll stare at my screen like a confused dog in complete wonder on why I consider myself a writer. Other days, I'm laughing at how creative my sentences are and how well the scene played out in this chapter, and I can't wait to share the update with my readers. Your stories, no matter the conditions, are valid. You got this!! :)

please please please please reblog if you’re a writer and have at some point felt like your writing is getting worse. I need to know if I’m the only one who’s struggling with these thoughts

Somewhere, out there, you are someone's favorite writer/artist.

You've inspired someone!

Keep going, love! ❤️
