em dash

“not x, not y, but z”

short sentence stacking as a stylistic choice

none of these belong to ai. these are all what human writers have been writing since day one, way before ai was invented. ai was trained to mimic how human writers write — so em dash, not x not y but z and short sentence stacking would never have been used by ai at all if ai hadn’t learned and mimicked them from human writers.

no, you are not “fighting against ai” by accusing every work that has em dash, not x not y but z or short sentence stacking in it as ai-generated, you are helping ai harm the writing community by engaging in witch hunt and scaring human writers away from creating/sharing their works for fear of being wrongly accused of using ai.

prev, i'm sure you mean my guy Leonid Pasternak

as a fanfic writer, no, I do not write for you. I write for me. I just post my stuff online for people to read, but that's an act of kindness, it's not "me trying to please you". if you like what I write and if you support me and are kind to me, then I appreciate you. from the bottom of my heart.

but if you don't like what I write, that is fine too. that just means my works are not for you (well, they are for me, the writer. I write for my own enjoyment first and foremost), you can quietly leave, find something else to read. or, better yet, write what you want to read yourself.

you are not fanfic writers' "customers". you read their works for free because they're kind enough to share their works for free. you're reading someone else's hobby. if you keep being rude and entitled to fanfic writers, one day you'll end up with no fics to read, and you'll have no one to blame but yourself.

I am once again begging people to realize that AI checker doesn’t work. it’s never worked. it’s notoriously known to have flagged human-made works as AI and AI-generated works as human-made. and by feeding it people’s works, you are feeding more works to AI, because apparently the machine itself is AI.

I consider myself proship, profic and anti censorship. because fiction is not reality. there are some topics in fiction that I am uncomfortable with, but what I do is that I curate my own internet experience by avoiding topics I don't like and minding my own business — instead of harassing real people over fiction.

and no, fiction does not reflect a person's in-real-life moral compass. I enjoy slasher movies, that does not mean I enjoy murders in real life. I play video games that contain violence, that does not mean I condone violence in real life.

fiction is. just fiction.

art can be taboo and macabre.

not to mention how a lot of victims and survivors use dark fiction to cope and heal from their trauma.

but even if someone is never a victim, thought crimes and dark fantasies are just that: fantasies. they are not real. nobody in real life is being harmed.

my belief is that people can enjoy whatever they want in fiction. as long as no one in real life is harmed.

to quote what I have already said for a dozen of times: if someone lets fiction affect them enough to the point they do bad things and hurt people in real life, then they are already troubled and are a danger to themself and those around them, with or without the media they consume.

also censorship is a fascist tool meant to control people and a slippery slope. if we allow one thing to be censored, anything and everything that isn't sunshine and rainbow and of conservative value can and will be censored too. and harassment is something I will never condone, especially when it's over fiction.

if it's stupid to harass people for enjoying horror movies, it's just as stupid to harass people over fictional ships or what they read/write about fictional characters.

the authors truly appreciate it and they deserve to know their art is being enjoyed when there is so much negativity and hate out there right now
