Mine… in the cleaner version, it’s Harry/muggle, Ron/Hermione, Neville/Luna, Colin/Ginny, know, pretty typical there. In the explicit, it’s a bit more fluid, where it’s more like Harry/muggle/Ron/Hermione/muggle2 and I poke a bit of fun at the Harry/Ginny crowd. Wish I had more feedback than hit counters, however, few readers bother to drop reviews/comments, so gotta take what I can. (FFN & AO3 let me track numbers of subscribers, favorites, bookmarks, kudos so a bit more to go on.)

The “feedback” I pay attention to are the hitcounts, simply because that helps me gauge that people are reading/enjoying what I’m writing. Like I know on AO3 the “explicit” version to my potter fanfic is way more popular than my “clean” version (as I post both there). Taking the bait to derail Harry/Ron is totally viable IMO, not a bad pairing either, except if it’s exclusive, it undercuts Hermione. (And yes, I do explore some Harry/Ron in the explicit version of my potter fanfic, but that’s no where exclusive, it’s kinda more of a four-way “group” overall.)

That’s enough personal info, I suggest the mods track that somewhere else and scrub it from this thread.

Hey, you get reviews, mine might get one or two from time to time. So, if a review has a good idea, I’d say use it, but I write my stories for own enjoyment. Posting them simply encourages me to actually complete them (well, they’re more complete than if I didn’t post).

Only relevant discussion to my originals (as I’m not planning another fanfic). TBH, as there’s an overarching plot/theme across all of them, I typically won’t consult readers, it’s about figuring out the universe I’m writing in (or making up a holiday/halloween oneshot).

Best case scenario… we become pets to the AI society. At least there, you’ll be walked two to three times a day so you can do your business in a bush, though they may take to spaying & neutering Have a human treat.

@kagome26isawsome you jumped by two.

Oh...no… it’s not the Halloween season! Let’s not scare ourselves too much. Star Trek called TV a fad that didn’t last much past the mid-21st century, let’s hope they’re correct if the robots take over the writing, composition, the filming, etc. Best “reboot” I’ve seen… Doctor Who, hands down. Helped they already had a mechanism for replacing the lead actor (something that the 3rd doctor found out the hard way after demanding a raise).

Don’t think I’d be interested in AI-generated fandoms either. Might be a bit curious to glance, but overall, nope. But I also tend to not watch much in the way of TV or movies anymore, I’m more interested in generating content myself. I like thinking about the hell I’m creating for Harry in my fanfic, I like thinking about Jeff and his situation, this activity is where I have fun dwelling… the whole editing & publishing, less so which is the general reason why I don’t take that step. If you take this AI thought experiment a bit further, consider TV/movie watching as the “opiate of the masses” keeping us docile while we’re exploited, it becomes more or less horrific, having the AI raise/feed/train the massive corporations’ humans livestock, on the cheap. Welcome to the slaughter house, were even the waiting room entertainment has replaced the human creators with cheap machines.

Aw… the copyright office has ruled that AI generated content is not copyrightable. Also requires that authors/copyrighters declare all AI generated material in what they copyright (which won’t be covered), however, if the author/copyrighter fails to disclose… think they can lose copyright. So, hopefully that’s enough to discourage the movie & TV industry from going there. In my personal writings, I will use a random number generator to grab a number of lines out of a file, which gives me a list of “whatever” that I can use when trying to create characters and things… but it’s still me crafting the character, using those random lines as prompts for figuring out what I want.
