fanfic writers deserve better
- if we post too fast, we get accused of using ai (no, you don't know how fast someone can write. you don't even know if the "too-frequent-to-be-human updates" you see are something that have long been finished and sitting in an author's drafts for god knows how long. just because it's recently posted, doesn't necessarily always mean it's recently written too. a lot of writers finish the whole thing first before they start posting it chapter by chapter).
- if we take "too long to update", we get people pressuring us to "update faster" even though fanfics are our hobbies and we write for ourselves first and foremost.
- if our works are grammatically correct, we get accused of using ai (some of us just love correct grammars).
- if our works are not grammatically correct, we get insulted/criticized (mind you, not everybody writes in their native language. kudos to writers who write in their second, or third, or fourth language — I'm willing to bet a lot of people who criticize fanfics because of poor grammar can't even speak other languages besides english).
- if our paragraphs are "too long and too detailed", we get accused of using ai.
- if our paragraphs are "too short", we also get accused of using ai.
- if we are autistic and we write in ways some deem "too robotic", we get accused of using ai.
- some people just don't use their brains to think "ai was trained on human-made works, it was trained to look human-made. ai writes this way because the way it writes is the way real humans write — real humans whose works it was trained to mimic". instead they somehow disregard this logic and think "hmmm this work looks ai-generated. I will engage in witch hunt, be a bully and harass writers whose works I don't vibe with".
some of y’all will be engaging in witch hunt, accusing writers left and right and then wondering why more and more writers take their works down and don’t share them with you ungrateful losers anymore.
“this fic looks like it was created by ai” yeah that’s because ai was trained on human-made works and it was trained to mimic human-made works.
you claim you hate ai because ai harms real artists, yet you are out there accusing and harassing artists because “their vibes just aren’t right”. at this point, you are the ones who cause more harm — to art and the writing community — than ai does.
you are the ones killing art and writing community, the community you want to “protect against ai”.
so at this point, you’re killing the community faster than ai is. good luck when the community you want to protect has no human-made work left because you accused and harassed genuine artists/writers away and the only things that are left for you to read are actual ai-generated fics.
if you think a fic is ai and if that bothers you like it does me, quietly exit the tab and avoid their future works like a normal, decent person. because with every "this fic looks ai" comment, there's always a chance of you wrongly accusing an innocent writer and further harming the writing community as a whole.
getting an abortion for whatever reason isn’t a “controversial” thing btw. healthcare and basic human rights are normal and a good thing, not something controversial
Anonymous asked:
this feels kind of like a stupid question, but on the topic of anti ai-witch-hunts, is it okay to accuse someone of using ai in their fic if it's glaringly obvious??
and not in the way of 'oh, they're using big words! oh, this writing feels robotic! blah blah blah' i mean if at the end of a chapter they forgot to take out chatgpt's little thing like 'Want me to keep going?' or 'Let me know if you want more on *fanfiction thing, characters*'
that feels like a one hundred percent ai-written kind of thing, right? it wouldn't be out of place to ask about it then?
asking as someone who really doesn't want to accidentally ruin a human writer's day at any point, thanks!
my advice would still be to close to tab and stop reading their works if it bothered you. I don’t like ai fics either, but harassment/accusation/speculation are still not something I agree with. plus, if you tell them, they’ll just remove the prompt. the next person who reads it won’t know it’s ai. if you don’t tell them, they leave the prompt up. the next person who reads it will know to avoid their future works if they don’t want ai fics.
so overall my stance remains the same: don’t like something you see on the internet? quietly scroll past it, exit it, mute it, block it.
1. ai witch hunt is harming genuine writers as much as ai does, if not more. you are harming genuine writers as much as ai does, if not more.
2. ai was trained to mimic human-made works. if you think a work “looks like it was created by ai”, please ask yourself what you think ai was trained on and what you think it was trained to mimic.
3. re: this post and this post. you can never know for sure if a work was written by ai (no, ai checker doesn’t work, the machine itself is ai and unreliable). you can only guess based on vibes. so yes, there’s always a chance of you wrongly accusing a genuine writer who doesn’t use ai to create their works.
4. this is the exact reason genuine writers no longer share their works and why more and more genuine writers take their human-made works down.
5. no matter what you claim, I believe this can be considered harassment if what you’re doing results in people getting harassed, which is against ao3’s terms of service — meaning people can still report you for this.
edit: apparently this is how they bypass ao3’s system

Anonymous asked:
twin should i be posting fics as a 12 year old 🥹✌️ it genuinely helps me a lot with my mental health and makes me really, but my brother told me to quit writing..
and also how do you write tooth-rotting fluff..?
I can’t tell you if you should or shouldn’t post fanfics. but my thoughts on minor reading, writing, posting fics are that they can do whatever they want as long as they’re not harming anybody and as long as they’re careful who they’re talking to online and what personal information they’re disclosing on the internet. the issue isn’t “minor reading, writing or posting fanfics” or “what minor reads or posts”. it’s how they can stay safe online. my advice is to be careful who you’re talking to and please, please, please, please don’t let strangers know you’re a minor. I’m not saying “lie about your age”. what I’m saying is your age is your personal information that people with ill intentions may use to harm you. if you do decide to post your fics, please make sure you keep your personal information, including your age, private. even if you don't post your fics but are on social media, please also guard your private information. no one needs to know if you’re a minor.
as for your brother telling you to quit writing. personally, I wouldn’t say I agree with anybody telling anyone to quit their hobby, especially when the hobby is harmless. but I should also remind you that I’m a stranger. I don’t have the context. I’m not saying to always blindly trust and believe everything a family member says, because unfortunately that is not always a good idea for everybody. but like, I don’t know you or your brother. I don’t have any context. so I will refrain from having any opinions on this topic specifically.
as for fluff, I’m afraid I focus more on whump — so tooth-rotting fluff may not be in my area of expertise. but in my opinion, tooth-rotting fluff works wonder when it’s set in cozy scenarios, like the characters’ own home, them cooking together or getting snowed in together. or maybe it’s raining, they’re inside, and everything is soft and nice. the plot can be about their everyday lives and routines. it doesn’t have to involve any shocking plot twist or really anything much. which isn’t to say it’s a bad thing. I think simplicity is one of the factors that make fluff fanfics so charming and comforting. also you don’t have to rush anything while writing a fluff story, because fluff is about being comfortable. it can be as slow as you want. you can also focus on your characters’ feelings, how they are content and happy, etc. you can also mention small details, like how cozy the blankets are, how warm the tea is, how delicious the cookies smell, or how relaxing raindrops outside sound, etc.
fluff is basically about feeling loved, safe and comfortable. so the trick is to tell yourself “I want me, my characters and my readers to feel loved, safe and comfortable. and I’m going to express what makes me feel loved, safe and comfortable through my writing.”
I hope you’ll find at least some of these helpful ♡
opinions that will get me canceled:
I do think a lot of those “ao3 curse” stories and wild author notes are true. hell, I have had one of those happened to me not too long ago. that said, once they become a meme/a trend across various social media platforms, I also believe some people just say the most insane shit in their notes for the wow factor and to join in on the trend. no girl you ain’t running from the fbi and seeking shelter in poland after jumping out the window of a three-story burning building to escape the fire and then getting run over twice by a truck and attacked by a great white shark.
do I think people should be shamed if they lied about insane shit happening to them? no. it’s all harmless. it’s all for shit and giggle (unless their goal is to ask for donation, which is already against ao3’s terms of service). do I want this post to end up making people wary of what writers put in their notes? no. but I feel like some writers sort of think they have to have some wild, insane stories to tell in their notes, or else they’re missing out or something, and I just want to say that ao3 isn’t tiktok or twitter, ao3 writers aren’t “content creators” the way influencers on tiktok and instagram are. there’s no trend or going viral on ao3. you don’t have to always have the most mind blowing stories to tell in your notes in every single chapter of your fic.

Okay. I need your opinion.
I go into this high school where they support ‘modern techniques’ of learning and teaching. Basically—phones are allowed, which for me is an unusual thing. But now they are beginning to support AI which I am absolutely against.
Now everyday I hear, “Okay class, for this assignment, feel free to use AI,” or “Use AI to help you.” Hello? Aren’t you the one supposed to help us?
Oooh– and this one I hate especially. They now print us homework as well as tests using AI. Genuinely, no effort. Then they complain how much work they have on their plate.
Almost everyone in my class now cheats on the tests using AI. I try not to discriminate them for it so I could maintain some relationships but this is getting out of hand.
Almost forgot—We have this one teacher who LITERALLY forces us to use AI mid class. If we don’t, he complaints (luckily he doesn’t give a bad grade or something… yet).
I don’t think you’ll see this, which is fine so I’ll probably ask some others for their opinion and how it’s in their school (if they are still a student).
ˆ̑՝̮ˆ̑❤︎ Have a beautiful day!
I wish I could say I’m surprised but the truth is that this is just the reality we live in now, unfortunately. I graduated high school way before gen ai became a thing, but I’m not surprised most schools and even some colleges are now encouraging students to use ai. a lot of companies are now strongly encouraging their employees to use ai. sometimes it’s even “work with ai or we will have to let you go”.
allthingswhumpyandangstyAnonymous asked:Fanfic rating is okay if they say 10/10 right? Like at that point is more of a joke and just to say they loved itI mean if it's a joke/light hearted way to tell an author you love their fic then yeah I get it. but personally — in my humble opinion — the point of "rating people's fanfics is bad" isn't "people give fics bad ratings" but "fanfics aren't something for people to rate or grade at all". receiving grades — no matter if it's A+ or 10/10 — is not the point of writing fanfics. so for you (general you) to rate our fics "10/10", you still imply that what we do out of love and passion is something for you to rate and grade. it implies that fanfic writers write to please their audiences — it implies that fanfic writers write for strangers' validation and approval — which is not the case at all. or at least it's not the case for me.so instead of "10/10", please tell an author whose works you enjoy "I love this! thank you for sharing" or "this is amazing". as a writer myself, I promise you those comments are so much more appreciated than "10/10". sure, maybe some writers won't mind, but you don't know if they'd look at your "10/10" comment and think "do people think my hobby and passion are something for them to grade? do people think I do this as a job to please them?" — so if you ask me, any other compliment is better and more genuine than "10/10".#admin answers#writing#writer#writeblr#writers#fanfic#fanfiction#ao3#writing community#archive of our own#fandom#fandoms19174
allthingswhumpyandangstyAnonymous asked:This might be a stupid as but... How do you get into writing character x character? I've been writing x reader for years but i really really want to start writing character x character from my ships but have no idea how to get into it or how to write it 😭Sorry for taking your time of the day! <3well I'm not sure if this is the answer you're looking for or if it'll be any helpful, but — as a fellow writer who used to write character x reader before shifting to character x character exclusively — I didn't start writing character x character because I wanted to change things up or because I got bored of character x reader or anything like that. I went from character x reader to character x character for two reasons:I started reading more fics. character x reader was the thing that first introduced me to fanfiction, but then I started reading more and more fics. I found my favorite writer who wrote exclusively about character x character, and I went "wait that's so cool". I became more invested in dynamics between two canon characters and less invested in character x reader. I wouldn't say I got bored of character x reader, but more like "with character x reader, I can only have fun with one canon character, because the other one is the reader, so there's not much I can work with. but with character x character, it's built on something I can actually see (aka canon), and I got to write about two canon characters whom I love. I got to explore their dynamics and there's just so much potential, so many possibilities."but I think the biggest, main reason that pulls me toward character x character is the love and passion I have for my two favorite canon characters. yeah I know it's sappy and cliche, but it's honestly what I love most about character x character fics, what makes me write about it in the first place.as for how to write it, I can't tell you what to do, but I can tell you what I do when I write my fics — I just sort of ask myself what situation I want to see my ship in. or sometimes I'll watch a movie or a tv show, or sometimes I'll come across a cool prompt, and I'm like "hmmm what if I put my ship in this situation too". or sometimes reading others' fanfics inspired me to write my own too (not in a "I copy them" way, of course, but in a "reading fics about my blorbos fuels my motivation, and now I'm going to write something too" kind of way).so I guess my answer is to just write it. just write what you want. don't overthink it, because there's no wrong way to do it. let your mind and imagination take you. I know it may be easier said than done, but I think it'll be easier if instead of pausing to think "how can I write it? how should I start?", you just. dive in and write it.#admin answers#writing#writer#writeblr#writers#fanfiction#fanfic#ao3#archive of our own#writing community#fandom#fandoms#blorbo#blorbos#fictional characters#comfort character#writing advices#writing advice#writing tip#writing tips… See all374

I posted my first fic back in ages, but it got about 40 hits and 6 kudos, I don't knkw how to feel about that ratio. Is it worth continuing if I want it to be seen?writingdose answered:if you wrote it, it’s already considered a success. please don’t let strangers’ approvals be the thing that determines your works’ worth and values, and whether or not they are “successful enough”. sure, kudos and comments are great and deeply appreciated, but they aren’t the reason why I write. like, the thing about fanfics is that it’s a hobby and something you do for fun. and the thing about hobbies and something you do for fun is that you do it for yourself and your own enjoyment. you don’t do it for strangers or their approval.
since you asked me, I can only speak for myself — I write for me. not for anybody else. not for strangers on the internet. me. because this is my hobby and also my passion, my source of comfort and a form of self-care. so if I wrote it, it’s a success and I am proud of myself for it. you should be proud of yourself too. #feel free to follow me on my second blog here#admin answers152537

I only ask because that's what happened to me and I'm going to delete it soon. With the way everything gets accused of being AI now it makes me not want to post anything on AO3 anymore. I know I'm not good at writing and the fact that I have Autism doesn't help because I'm not good at speaking either.

Love your blog.writingdose answered:I have never deleted any of my fics. I used to write for a very small fandom where literally about 90% of the works for that fandom were from me. because it’s a very small, local show without a real fandom, barely anybody knows about it (it’s still such a good show though), I rarely got any hits, let alone comments or kudos. I still had fun writing about the characters — because I write for me, for the joy and comfort of getting to write, not whether or not strangers will like it. I mean, sure, kudos and comments are great, but they aren’t the reason why I write in the first place. I only stopped writing about that show because my brain shifted the hyperfixation to a new media, not because rarely anybody read my works for that fandom. I had fun writing about it regardless, and I don’t regret putting so much of my time and love into writing for that show. and yes, all of my works for that show are still up. that said, I understand the fear of having your works mistaken for ai or having it used to train ai. I wish I had a better answer or way to prevent it. unfortunately I kind of accepted and made peace with the concepts of 1. people will think what they’re gonna think, but that doesn’t make what they think true. I know I didn’t use ai and I don’t care about what strangers think about me or my works, and that alone is enough 2. anything and everything I post on the internet may be used to train ai in some way. do I like it? no. but it’s just the reality we live in now, unfortunately. I still have fun writing. I still post my works normally. I won’t let anything take that away from me. but I do understand why some writers may no longer want their works published anymore. whatever you do, whichever decision you make, is valid.

Even if it’s your whole personality, if that bothers someone else that is very much their issue. I don't agree quite agree with making hate your entire personality since then you'll just be miserable, but that's none of my business no? Anyone can hate as much as they want to.

allthingswhumpyandangstyPSA: potential new scamI don’t know if it’s a new surge of bots and scams, but lately there are a lot of blogs who reblog people’s posts with “tap here for more” link in big text. I looked through some of these blogs, and their blogs are just them reblogging a whole lot of people’s posts with “tap here for more” link. I obviously did not click on the link. another thing I’d like to add is that these blogs aren’t recently made or empty blogs with no pfp or header. they appear to be normal blogs with pfp, headers, names, bios, fandoms, interests and such. so my guess is that they were genuine, legit blogs before they were hacked. and the hackers use their blogs to spread their link, and potentially scam more people, whatever the link is. unfortunately it is a well known tactic bots and scammers use — hacking an innocent blog, because they know it’s more convincing than creating a new and empty blogs like before, and then using the blog to help them scam more people. be careful y’all. if someone dm or inboxes you “I have something important to tell you 🥺 it’s about your account” block and report them. that’s a scam. they will try to convince you they accidentally reported your blog because they mistook you for someone else who scammed them, they may even tell you they have “already gave your blog to the police” then they’ll say something about “don’t worry. you can contact this person *gives you a sketchy discord link*” then “this person” will claim they work with tumblr (lie) and they will tell you you have to change the email you associate your tumblr with to the new one they give you. the second you do that, your entire account is gone. if you change the email you associate your tumblr with to their email, they have full control of your account. that’s how they hack people. #internet safety#tumblr#scam alert#psa#scam awareness#tumblr staff#internet literacy#writing#fandoms#fandom#writer#writeblr#writers#fanfiction#fanfic9461,253
allthingswhumpyandangstyAI witch-hunt harms genuine artists and people in general as much as AI does, if not more.

allthingswhumpyandangstyAnonymous asked:about that 'team whump' ask you answered - i was under the impression that its the subtrope where the entire team of characters im the story gets whumped, no? like the protagonists, whumpee's comrades/teammates gets put thru some shit... please feel free to correct me! oh yeah. you’re probably right. it’s not really in my area of expertise because I always write about whumping the one specific character (my blorbo), but I too is under the impression that a trope where the whole team is whumped is called team whump or something along this line. I just didn’t think about it in my first response. #admin answers#whump#whumpblr#writing#writer#writeblr#writers#fanfiction#fanfic#fandom#fandoms#ao3#archive of our own#writing community37
allthingswhumpyandangstyAnonymous asked:hi hi! as someone who is new to posting works with emotional turmoil, physical ailments and body ‘horror’ as a way to express’s feelings, elaborating on depressive/manic episodes - what is the best way to tag them? i fear i struggle with differentiating angst from whump, so on and so forth, but i want to make sure things are tagged correctly… thank u sm for all u do !! 🧚🏼♀️emotional turmoil —> angst (but can still be whump)physical ailments and body horror —> whump. whump and angst do overlap a lot. like, a lot. more often than not, a fic is tagged as both whump and angst. and also hurt/comfort if the character gets comforted/rescued too. that said, the main difference between whump and angst is that whump focuses more on physical pain / physical harm / physical illness / danger that can cause bodily harm. while angst focuses more on the emotional and mental side of things, like anger, betrayal, grief, etc. #admin answers#whump#angst#whumpblr#writing#writer#writeblr#writers#fanfiction#fanfic#fandom#fandoms#ao3#archive of our own#writing community#blorbo#blorbos#fictional characters#comfort character1081

allthingswhumpyandangstyAnonymous asked:hello! I've been coming across "team whump" lately, I don't quite understand what subtrope this is, could you give me a general idea?the definition of whump is posted here. though I have no idea what “team whump” is referring to. could be just a general nickname for people who enjoy whump. or it could be something more specific like a fandom event? no idea. #admin answers#writing community#whump#whumpblr#writing#writer#writeblr#writers#fanfiction#fanfic#fandom#fandoms219
allthingswhumpyandangstyAnonymous asked:Oh, we're talking about assholes rating fanfic authors today? May I share my experience?Okay so, someone rated my fanfic in bookmarks. and had the fucking audacity to give it a 7/10 with a note saying "The fanfic is good but too much spelling errors and it's too indulgent." So i blocked them and muted them so they can't read the rest since they want to be a piece of human disposal. no shit it has grammar errors sherlock English isn't my first language. ^^Honestly I'm more offended about the "too indulgent" comment, do you know what fanfic is for??? IT'S FOR ME, if i decide to share my fanfic with you(general you), your ass better be grateful.Why do people rate authors like it's good reads or some bullshit, might be taking a break at this point because it keeps happening in my comments as well. on ao3, I think people can still read your works even if you blocked them unfortunately, they just can’t comment, kudos, or interact with the works anymore. I’m not sure if they can still read your stuff after you muted them though. that said, I’m very sorry to hear about your experience. it pisses me off how entitled some people are becoming, especially when it comes to other people’s hobbies that they quite literally do for themselves. some people just don’t deserve the privilege of getting to read other people’s fanfics for free#admin answers#writing#writer#writeblr#writers#fanfiction#fanfic#fandom#fandoms#ao3#archive of our own#writing community25248
allthingswhumpyandangstyAnonymous asked:is it still considered whump if the physical pain derives from mental pain?the mind is a powerful thing and enough emotional/mental stress can equal physical pain as well, so i was wondering if that'd be something worth tagging as angst, whump or both.- 🌀yes, it’s whump. one of the most classic whump tropes actually.as long as there’s physical pain and/or danger and/or risk to the character’s health/wellbeing, it’s whump.whump, angst and hurt/comfort do overlap a lot. in this case, if I were you, I’d tag it as whump and angst. so both. and also hurt/comfort if the character gets comforted eventually. #admin answers#whump#whumpblr#writing#writer#writeblr#writers#fanfiction#fanfic#fandom#fandoms#ao3#writing community#trope#tropes#prompt#prompts30
allthingswhumpyandangstyAnonymous asked:Okay so I usually like to have my whole fanfic a little even.. Like i know that doesn't make sense but ..for me every paragraph shud be like only 6-8 sentences and if it exceeds or is less than that number...the sentence shud be completed within an even number.. This js me alr..it doesn't have any ulterior motive or smthg.. Js a personal thing i doSo now someone is accusing me of using ai and I've got literally no defense.. Like I'm gonna sound guilty if i explain this thing to them ...any ideas on wht to do? block them and continue doing whatever you want. you don’t owe strangers anything. a reminder to all of us that ai witch hunt harms genuine artists as much as ai does, if not more.
