  2. Does AFF have a policy on AI generated fanfic?

    Given we’re on a website for positing fanfiction, I’d say somebody writing fanfic for your books would be a sign of success.  Me… never got into writing until I had read/watched *ALL* the available material for that universe (at that time), yearned for more, and found fanfiction, wasn’t satisfied and began to write.

    I’m pretty sure no one needs fan fic of my darker works. I mean, seriously… Fan fic of the published stuff? Sure. It’s kind of fluffy and mostly HEA. Fan fic of my short original stuff here?  Only if you hate sleeping in the dark and don’t mind drinking a lot. :blink:

    Yeah, I understand that concern for sure. I’ve thought about it in regards to humans doing it. I know some creators aren’t fans of fanfic of their work when written by a human being. I can imagine the same would be true of AI, but the problem with an AI is that you’re going to have no one to necessarily go after. But I’m not necessarily as concerned about fanfic of my original work. I would prefer to have my own version on TV, which is where my original work is intended to go, but I’d be okay with having someone make fanfic based on the TV show.

    Fair enough. I on the other hand would like to be asked first before anyone uses my original work in any way, including writing fan fic for it. Well, unless It was one of the authors whose work I read compulsively, but I’m pretty sure none of them even know I exist. :lol:

    I totally get where you’re coming from, though I’m not sure I think the current legal framework is sufficient. But here’s an example of where I wonder how valid it is:

    https://www.pcgamer.com/one-of-bings-new-chatgpt-personalities-wrote-me-some-seriously-puggy-fanfic/

    The second version comes across like a basic conception of how a Star Trek episode would really go. It’s very close to what some young fanfic writers might write.

     

    There’s discussion referenced in that article about the not insignificant concerns revolving around copyright violations and content attribution for the various AIs, and I have to say, those are my concerns as well. I shudder to think of some AI scraping one of my darker original pieces and creating some sort of fan fic around what I wrote, with no compensation to me as the creator. I reserve ALL rights to my original works, and I’m really not joking about that. I wouldn’t be the first author to spin a short work into a novel, and I have no intentions of winding up in a legal wrangle with someone who used an AI program that lifted my work, and who has decided they now OWN my work.

    Well this is where you run into problems in the idea of AI. I’ve had this conversation a few times with people but it’s always interesting.

    If you read 6 books and it gives you an idea and you use the ideas to create your own idea, isn’t that the same as what AI is doing? Just mashing things together?

    You have movies and TV shows which have vampires and werewolves and a bunch of other things that they got from somewhere else. This is kinda what AI is doing in my view. At least that’s my view.

    Inspiration from a book, or a tv show that uses a universal trope like vampires, or werewolves, or the undead, isn’t the same thing as taking literal text from a source and dropping it into a document that you then publish as your work. If the AI program was merely finding a trope, that would be one thing. But once it begins to incorporate things someone else wrote, well, that’s the slippery slope.

    All of my fan fiction is online. Quite a few original short pieces are online as well. If an AI program were to scour the Internet, and decide to lift sentences or even paragraphs from one of my original stories, I’d be pretty damned peeved, I can promise you, and there would be a DMCA takedown notice going out forthwith. (AFF does actually have a DMCA statement in the archive’s Site Information, as any reputable site should.)

    My (admittedly limited) experience to date suggests that AI writing programs don't actually write anything: They grab pieces of text from various sources and meld them together into one. If that's how all AI writing programs work, than any text they "write"  will necessarily be plagiarized.

    Well, the, that makes it a bit easier. Cobblefic is plagiarism, and plagiarism is not permitted here.

    So, what about AI generated reviews?

    Ah, the early morning poking of the undercaffeinated dragon… :lol:  

    If I believe reviews are being spammed, the reviewer is subject to being banned. At the moment, no anonymous reviews are permitted, as a security measure, so in order to spam those reviews, you will need an archive account. I would be very happy to have that last another year or so.

    AI generated fanfic is pretty new, and we don’t have an established policy per se, although we may want to think about this and establish one.

    In general, we do have a policy of asking that all content be the work of the uploading author. Obviously, when writing fan fiction, the universe/fandom and the characters are not owned by the uploading author, hence the disclaimer requirement. But we don’t allow large swaths of content taken directly from the fandom, or the read-the-book stories that were all the rage for a while. So where does AI generated writing fall? I’m not entirely sure. It’s obviously not written by the uploading author, but presumably, the AI program generated content based on parameters established by the uploading author.

    I’m just not sure it’s really writing in the truest sense of the word. I can’t imagine any AI program could capture a writer’s voice: the way they use language, the cadence of their writing, the unique touches that make their work stand out from other writers. I might use it to generate a rough plot outline, but I think I’m still old-fashioned enough to want the words on the page or screen to be the words I chose myself, if that makes any sense at all.

    I’m trying to log into my account on the site but it doesn’t work.  Then I try to reset my password, but clicking the link right away just takes me to “password reset is no longer valid”, even though I click the link right after getting the email.

    Can’t remember if I got the email back in January.

    I’ve emailed you new links to activate and reset your password. We did have some issues with Yahoo interpreting our emails to members as some sort of spam thing.

    Thank you. Is it possible to post new stories at this time?

    Yes, it is possible to post new stories. We’re still missing a few functions, like punctuation in titles and summaries, and the Rich Text Editor won’t bold text, but for the most part, we’re working again. :)

  22. How to search the site

    in General Staff Questions

    Posted

    The Mandalorian is a television series, so it would be under the Television subdomain. We do not have a separate subcategory for that show, unfortunately, so any stories would be posted under Misc TV Shows at present.

    At the moment, I believe the Search function remains disabled while we finish securing the site. Once it has been restored, we’ll update our FAQ on hos the use the Search function.

    Just received an email with a Password Reset link. It seems my originally chosen password did not fulfill the requirements.
    So. once again I follow the link within the email to reset my password – and once again I’m sent to this site – and – I get an error message telling me: This Password Reset is no longer Valid!
    It seems no matter for whatever purpose I receive links from adult-fanfiction.org they always expire before I have a chance to make use of them.
    I’ve tried following the link using the Vivaldi browser as well as the Firefox browser. Same issue.

    I’ve sent you fresh links, both to reactivate the account and to reset the password. Please reactivate before resetting the password. Even though you might have activated previously, this method works when resetting a password fails on its own. The browser is not the issue.

    Its been a long time. I finally clicked on the verification email sent to me and was directed to the “no longer valid” message. I tried to log in and then I requested a reset password and was again sent a link to a “no longer valid” message. I have tried to reset my password and the site wont recognize the email link sent to me each time.

    You will need to validate the account and reset the password. I’ve emailed you links to do both things.
