I had assumed that speaking the incantation would summon dragons & demons… it’ll remain unspoken & unwritten here.

I reposted mine on that other website a while ago.  Interesting to see which ones have the highest hit counts.

Tried it again, now it seems to work on firefox.  (Noscript & UBlock origin are normally active, simply to try to keep rogue javascript from taking over… or FB snooping)

Normally, yep, though I’ve whitelisted AFF.

One lighter annoyance… when refreshing specific story stats, puts me back to the profile page, instead of leaving me on stats.  (Thus, have to navigate back in.)

Ditto… while it works on Chromium, won’t work on Firefox (which is the one I prefer to use here).  Was also annoying while trying to find my story statistics (which I do daily/more-often-if-fresh-posted)

Think that’s what everybody is referring to, the typical halloween/holiday format.

One year… might’ve been my first.  I did a Halloween story, and decided to continue it with a sequel for the holiday story.

Tried that in Firefox, nope, still not clicking through.  Even tried their “fix site issues” checkbox, nope.  Though I do have chromium working for that, meant a google search to return to the forums (as I still prefer firefox and I couldn’t click from the main site anymore with that blocking banner)

In my case, I created a master listing at the top of my review thread here in the forums; links to my stories/oneshots in the archive.  That’s an option too, but yeah, it’d be nice to have links from our profiles too.

It’s also devaluing to be accused of using AI for writing simply because you like dashes, ellipses, or using proper grammar.

“Hello, tech support? Yes, I clicked the wrong button and a rampaging porn monster burst from my machine…. yes… yes…. yes I did try turning it off and on again…. I showed it a JayDee story followed by an InBrightestDay one… No, it’s already eaten all the cookies… it’s currently in the other room trying to order a big meat pizza it can’t afford to pay for and then hire a plumber to “clean some pipes out.” Look, just tell me how to stop it playing cheesy synth music every time it starts doing something.”
 

I’m still at zero recommendations, so no need to reverse-see who’s signed up.

Well, whoever gets there first is the champion and has bragging rights.

More broadly speaking, I’m definitely tired of the “AI slop” on YouTube. It particularly bugs me when the video is supposed to be about something factual, because you don’t know whether the AI is using actual facts or just making stuff up.

I had ideas… but I didn’t want to restrain any to being a oneshot, and the potter fanfic wanted attention.

IMHO, for this site (and similarly for AO3), what most people are against is the AI slop.  (Feed a prompt to Chat GPT, get a “novel” from it.  TBH, quite sophisticated and impressed it’s gotten as well as it has; basically a million typewriter monkeys that have some pattern recognition grasp at what the humans are seeking.)
I don’t think folks would be against you using something like grammarly, or similar spell/grammar checker with some AI backing to it.  I don’t think they’d be really against you using an AI created image as a writing prompt/aid to help visualize the scene you’re about to write/describe. I don’t think that’s at a level of needing disclosure.  But then we get closer to the gray line with something like an AI character profile, backstory, or it helping you finish/write a scene.
Right now, if AI is forming a substantial chunk of the writing process, disclosure is likely the best policy, and let the reader decide if they want to continue or not.  (Just remember, you’re still on the hook for whatever you post.)

Nah, nah, took a night king to torment us with its warning about those who dare to resist him with a book that’ll never finish!

Eventually we’ll have fifty shades of AI.  For those that want to use a small snippet for their stories, I’d suggest we have the author mark it out, treating it like any other quotation/excerpt, not to exceed up to, say 10% of content?    And if we get a fully sentient self-aware AI, doubt the posting rules here will matter, we’ll be adopted out to responsible AI overlords.
Based on the GoT HBO series, doubt AI could make the ending any worse…
