    Suggestion: A button next to the Like that lets readers express if they think the chapter is AI written

    Varies based on what genre you read too. Progression Fantasy is full of die hard em-dash supporters, and is coincidentally one of the most hard hit by LLMs. A LOT of PF novels got pirated and used to train AI.

    Suggestion: A button next to the Like that lets readers express if they think the chapter is AI written

    It doesn't help that "AI detectors" are total bullshit with no conclusive evidence to back them up. They're just pattern checkers that look for commonly used AI elements at the best of times, and LLMs are TRAINED on people's stories, so the shit they copy is patterns they learned from real...

    Question about Forum Courtesy

    I mean, yeah, but I'm usually annoyed when people are rude to me regardless of the subject matter lol.

    Question about Forum Courtesy

    Honestly I don't mind tftc. Always nice to get some engagement.

    Question about Forum Courtesy

    I'd never really heard anyone mention thinking that was rude or anything. To be fair, most authors I know have set release schedules there days, but like, if its been a few weeks (and you're not necro-ing) I don't really see any reason not to ask.

    After I finished talking to the old man, I went home and went to bed. I was…so exhausted. The kind of exhausted where you actually pass tired and loop back around to be being energetic, only with a brain that works hilariously badly for any complex tasks. Like you passed your sleep window and...

    Tag Voting

    Honestly, I feel like just a fandom list to use as reference for universe tags would help more than anything else. Just a place we can all go to see a standardized format for any given fandom. Not everyone would use it, but I bet it would eliminate most of the redundancy, and the authors...

    Power. A recurring theme in my life for the last few years. More than any other, honestly. Love, family, choice, I’d grappled with some heavy things in my time as an Ascendant. But power was perhaps the heaviest. What it meant. What it required. How it changed you. Because all power changes a...

    Extending my Domain inside the core turned out to be effortless. I’d half expected to run into trouble, given the weird interactions between Domains and the Void. The old man told me I was a moron, because I’d been opening my Domain in the Wishworld since I developed it, and I was still IN the...

    We emerged from the portal back out of the council chamber, into the same hallway we’d entered from. The council was waiting for us. As were my parents, my grandparents, and several other people, including the Moonlight Pope and Uncle Sam. As soon as we stepped out, my mother rushed out of the...

    It was time to leave. Devon had done a lot of research on this place, and while he had no method of escaping, he did know there was an emergency signal in place. Aside from sequestering trial participants, The Quiet Room had been designed as a fallback shelter in case of a catastrophic attack on...

    Tag Voting

    I'm going to be honest, I don't think adding downvotes to the tagging system is going to do anything useful or pleasant for the site. We don't even have downvotes on POSTS lol.

    Tag Voting

    It's kind of NOT on the authors side. The sitewide meta for tags on Ao3 is a mess, and a lot of it is imperative from the site itself. I've had stories with almost a million words that were hugely popular on other sites with less than 10k views on there because there wasn't enough tags. The site...

    Tag Voting

    QQ is a place where people come to NOT have to deal with so much micromanaging. Tag voting takes tagging power away from the author, very few people on here who write stories would be interested in that. This is a contrary kind of place, telling us you want to take away control is something most...

    “You ok?” Callie asked, sitting down beside me and snuggling up to my side. “We restrained the lackeys. And we…we made a makeshift coffin for his body.” She swallowed loudly. “I’m sorry you had to do that.” “I FELT him die,” I said blankly. “I can’t…I don’t know how to describe it. It’s like I...
