#AI fanfiction

[simper-maximus]

Just a reminder for fanfic authors:

Fanfiction will ALWAYS be superior to character.ai

Please don't ever stop writing!!

[njsecretchild]

i've just encountered my first ai fanfiction post. i mean i've seen ppl discussing it before i've just never seen a post coming from someone who is writing ai fanfiction (if u can even call it that).

fanfiction has always been such a big part of my life and idk it made me so sad and mad and for me fanfiction is all about love and passion for the characters and the story and the world the author has created. it's about wanting more of it and about wanting to emerge into that universe to really explore ur own creativity and love for writing and CREATING.

i mean isn't it what all of fanfiction really is? creating something u've put a piece of yourself of ur very soul into in hopes of improving or making ur favorite show/book/character last longer than it really does.

loving something SO MUCH u decide to CREATE more of it

idk it may not be that deep but for me it is and i'm devastated there's now 'character ai cooking a bkdk omegaverse'

If you support AI generated content, especially if you post it (because you didn't write it or draw it if AI generated it for you) then my content is not for you.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but ai character chat bots are still ai art

Chat bots are literally just ai fanfiction.

And as a fanfiction writer, ai bots make me uneasy and uncomfortable.

We really don’t know how close we are to fanfiction and commissions dying.

I would not be surprised if in a couple years lots of artists see a drop in commissioned pieces because it’s easier for people to just have midjourney make them art of the their ships.

I can absolutely see fanfiction writers getting less requests and views and engagement cause it’s ten times easier to just ask an ai bot to rp with you - regardless of whether the ai is in character or not. Because it’s already happening.

Y’all, it’s still AI ART. And it’s going to start hurting your favorite fanfiction writers and fanart creators very soon.

Please consider how using Ai chat bots effects writers on ALL levels. Just like AI threatens the craft of paid screenwriters, it threatens the craft of unpaid fanfiction writers as well.

How close are we as fandom from having AI generated fics on aO3 or ai fanart on deviantart?

Y’all As a fanfiction writer I am begging you to reconsider how AI bots and using them directly effects the writers and artists you follow and support daily not just on a corporate level but a fandom level too

You can support writers against AI at a corporate level, please try and extend the same kindness to writers of fandom as well.

Convenience over human expression and effort is the downfall of art

Our Little - An Alice/Jasper x Little Reader AI generated fanfiction

(Y/n) moved to Forks Washington midway through their senior year, which meant that they had been living in a hotel for the past few days since their mom’s house wasn't ready yet. This week had been a total bore, all they did was drive, unpack, eat, and go to sleep. But today was a new day, today was going to be full of fun!

They’d finally attend their new school and actually move into their house.

They got dressed in their school and weather appropriate outfit of warm leggings, short overalls with a daisy on the pocket, and a thin light gray sweater. It was pretty chilly but not unbearable, the sweater would fit nicely indoors and out.

Finally, they walked to school, seeing other students loitering and hollering on the streets to each other, some walking to class, others waiting for the bell in their groups. (Y/N) went into the main office and met the administrator, who gave them their schedule. They were surprised at how nice and easy their classes were. They thanked the lady for helping them out, then went to their first class, Math. They loved math.

As they entered the classroom, everyone stopped talking and stared at them. It was awkward.

“Hi,” they greeted shyly, trying not to look at anyone in particular. They rushed to the teacher, sat at his desk, and held out the paper they’d gotten from the office to quickly tell teachers ‘this is your transfer’. The teacher smiled, and they relaxed a bit. He directed them to a desk in the middle of the class, and they took it, smiling nervously at their surrounding classmates.

Thankfully, the teacher called the roll, and then started teaching.

(Y/N) couldn’t help but feel like someone's eyes kept passing over them throughout the entire class. But they brushed it off as new student nerves.

When the bell rang, (Y/N) dared a glance around the room and caught the most beautiful pair of eyes. Brown? No… gold. They were warm and inviting, and (Y/N) could see the smile hidden behind them. Then the boy actually smiled at them, and it made (Y/N) feel butterflies in their stomach. His eyes were so kind and welcoming.

They waved shyly, eyes quickly averting to not stare too much at the boy. They could feel their cheeks burning.

They left the class quickly, forcing the boy out of their mind and continuing through the day. They found English, Home Ed, and History passed by with nothing happening until the lunch bell rang, and they got lost trying to find their locker.

When they finally got there, ten minutes after the start of the break, they were so confused about how to open it, they were just staring blankly at it until they heard a voice behind them.

Alice and Jasper had met up as soon as their fourth hour ended, both already knowing where the other would be. Edward was soon to join them, telling Alice about the drama he’d “over heard” in PE.

Jasper paid half a mind to the chatter, eyes cruising the hall for… for them, he realized the second his eyes locked into the target that he even had a target.

They stood down the hall, a frustrated furrow in their eyebrows and a slight quiver in their lower lip. Alice spotted his sight of vision, following the look down the hallway and

Blink

Alive opened her eyes to a wild green field, weather warm but not quite blooming spring. In front of her was a shorter stature, they wore a pink dress, white tights, and black Mary Jane’s. They looked so cute, and so familiar. Jasper stood beside Alice, holding onto a book in one hand while reaching out to their mate with the other.

Alive’s eyes snapped open. “Jasper!”

Jasper blinked, his eyes meeting hers. “What?”

“I just had a vision! I saw them, with us, together. They’re so cute!”

Edward mind read Alice, he couldn't block out the excited emotions so of course he saw the vision that came along with it. “I saw it too! You two have to go over there, they’re upset.”

Jasper looked down the hall, eyes locking on to them, then smiled at Alice and nodded to himself. “Come on then, we better go.”

Alice and Jasper went to (Y/N), catching them staring confused at their locker.

“Hey,” Alice greeted them cheerfully, “do you need help? We can show you how to use your pin!” Alice gestures to their hands, half fiddling with the lock still and half using it to avoid slowing their flushed face.

“Oh, um... yeah, sure!” They answered shyly, feeling their cheeks redden. Alice and Jasper both smiled warmly at them.

“We can walk you to the cafeteria, too, if you want! Those lines get confusing”

(Y/N) nodded gratefully, and they followed the couple down the hall once her locker was shut. Jasper had to stop himself from reaching out and picking them up, he didn’t want to scare them away. They were so adorable, and they smelled like vanilla.

When the three reached the cafeteria, Jasper held the door open for Alice and (Y/N) to enter first. “Thank you,” (Y/N) whispered to him, a warm smile playing at her lips. Jasper’s heart skipped a beat.

“Of course, bubs,” Jasper easily responds, finding their empty table and going Alice and (Y/N) to it. The three sat down, Alice on their side and Jasper in front. They had their teal lunch box on the table, but hadn’t moved to pick anything up. Instead, (Y/N) was looking across the room to a bookshelf filled with various titles and a small paper stating they were freebies the library was tossing.

“What book is that?” They asked, pointing at a decorative cover with green vines and orange hues. Alice looked over to the shelf.

“It looks like a fantasy novel,” Alice replied, grinning. (Y/N) turned their attention to Alice, her lips forming an ‘oh’ like it was shocking. Alice smiled and pointed to the bookshelf again. “Want me to get it for you?”

“Oh, um, yeah sure!” (Y/N) answered shyly, a blush creeping up on their face. Alice giggled and stood up, making her way to the shelf. Jasper watched her go with a fond smile on his face, she’s so perfect. Alice returned to the table with the book in her hands, handing it to (Y/N).

“Here you go!” She exclaimed, sitting back down.

“Thanks!” (Y/N) replied, accepting the book. Jasper glanced over at the clock on the wall, and then to Alice.

Alice was thinking the same thing, one of the wipes from her bag already running over the top of (Y/N)’s water bottle and silverware .

“So what’s the book about?” Jasper asked, sitting back down. (Y/N)’s eyes lit up at the question, they had been so absorbed in the description of the book they definitely didn’t see Alice’s actions.

“Um, it’s about a girl named Ella who gets cursed by a wicked witch. She’s turned into a frog, and the only way to break the curse is to find true love’s kiss!” (Y/N) replied excitedly. Alice pulled out a pack of carrots, ranch dip, and a ham sandwich from the lunch bag, setting it in front of them.

“That sounds like a good read!” Alice said, the both of them smiling at (Y/N)’s reaction. Jasper leaned forward, elbows on the table, and rested his chin on his hands.

“So, what’s your name?” Jasper asked, even though he’d heard it during the roster.

“Oh, um, it’s (Y/N). What’s yours?”

“Jasper.” He smiled at them, and (Y/N) grinned back. Alice was already thinking about what to make for tomorrow’s lunch, but she knew she shouldn’t rush it.

They talked for a bit longer, until (Y/N) started to subconsciously snack on the carrots in front of them. By the time they’d started their sandwich, they barely talked, just enjoyed listening to Alice and Jasper.

After a while, Alice glanced at the clock again and saw that it was almost time for the bell. “Oops! We should get going,” Alice said, standing up.

“Yeah, I need to get to my next class,” (Y/N) replied, finishing their sandwich. Jasper stood up as well, putting the trash in the bin and picking up the napkins. Alice grabbed (Y/N)’s book and lunchbox. “Thanks for helping me out!” (Y/N) said, smiling.

“Of course, sweetheart,” Alice reassured, her free arm wrapping around (Y/N) with a gentle squeeze. “We’ll always be here to help, just find us if you need anything,” she added, giving them another squeeze before letting go.

(Y/N) smiled gratefully, and then followed the two out of the cafeteria. They walked together to (Y/N)’s next class, Alice leading the way.

“You guys are so nice,” (Y/N) said shyly, looking between the two of them. “I’m just glad I found people to hang out with,” (Y/N) mumbled, looking down at their shoes from the heaviness of their emotions.

“Aww, you’ll find plenty of friends here, I promise,” Jasper said, smiling at them. He could feel the insecurities boiling under the surface and met them with a cormforting warmth that matched his words.

“I hope so,” (Y/N) replied, smiling back.

Alice led them to the door of the classroom, and (Y/N) smiled up at her. “Thank you so much for helping me today, I really appreciate it!”

Alice grinned and squeezed their shoulder. “No problem, sweetie,” she said, ruffling their hair gently. “We’ll see you after school?”

(Y/N) nodded enthusiastically. “Yeah, I’ll definitely come find you! Thanks again, I’m.. imma go now!” (Y/N) said, rushing into the classroom. Alice and Jasper shared a look before leaving the hallway.

“We should ask them out,” Jasper said.

“Hmm, I think we should wait a little longer,” Alice replied, thinking about the fact that they’d only known them for one day. “But I want to get to know them better,” Alice admitted, a playful smirk on her face. Jasper chuckled.

“Me too,” he agreed, “I’ll make sure to be near them after school.”

“Okay, I’ll do the same,” Alice said, smiling. “And we can take turns walking them between classes.”

“Good idea,” Jasper grinned, “I’ll start with their first class tomorrow.”

Alice nodded and they left for their next class.

The next few days went by in the best ways. Alice and Jasper walked (Y/N) to and from classes, making sure to arrive early so they could sit next to them. (Y/N) would hold onto their arm, sometimes leaning into them when the day got stressful. Jasper would hold (Y/N)’s hand, letting his emotions influence their own.

(Y/N) didn’t mind the attention. It was nice having someone there for them, and they enjoyed the company. Alice and Jasper were both so kind and understanding, and they were so easy to talk to. They didn’t mind when (Y/N) got upset and started crying, instead of pushing them away they pulled them closer, offering comforting words.

One day, after Alice helped them to their locker and Jasper helped them with the lock, they started walking outside with serious-ish looks.

“Hey,” Alice started, her voice betraying her nerves.

“Hey,” (Y/N) echoed, their smile faltering a little.

“Can we ask you something?” Jasper asked, looking down at them.

“Sure,” (Y/N) replied, her innocent eyes meeting his.

“Do you want to go out with us?” Alice asked, her chest filling with hope.

“Oh!” (Y/N) exclaimed, their cheeks turning pink. “Yes! That would be so cool.”

“Great!” Alice smiled, relief flooding through her. Jasper laughed.

“What do you want to do?” Alice asked, wanting to hear their thoughts.

“Um, I don’t know,” (Y/N) replied, looking between the two of them. “Maybe go somewhere after school?”

“Like a park?” Alice suggested, hoping it wasn’t too obvious.

“Yeah! That would be fun!” (Y/N) replied enthusiastically.

“Perfect, we’ll see you after school then!” Alice smiled, relieved and excited.

“Yeah, we’ll see you later!” Jasper chimed in, giving (Y/N)’s arm a squeeze and letting them enter their final class.

By the hour’s end, Alice had the trio comfortable in the car, and excited for the park. Jasper was driving, and Alice was in the passenger seat. Instead of attending their own class, the two had planned out a simple picnic. Alice had made some sandwiches and brought a blanket, packed extra sweaters and water bottles. More than they’d need for any outing.

“This is so cool!” (Y/N) exclaimed, looking out the window at the trees passing by.

“I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself,” Alice smiled, her eyes meeting Jasper’s. He smiled back, his eyes never leaving the road.

“We’re here!” (Y/N) gasped, their face lighting up.

“We are!” Jasper exclaimed, parking the car and glancing at them in the rear view mirror.

“I’m so excited!” (Y/N) squealed, their face lighting up. “Can we get out?” (Y/N) asked, looking at Alice hopefully.

“Of course! Just be careful, okay?” Alice replied, already in motion to open the door for them.

“Thanks!” (Y/N) said, hopping out of the car and heading towards the park entrance.

“Have fun!” Alice called, Jasper following close behind.

Once the two had entered the park, Alice and Jasper found a bench under a tree, despite the cloudy weather, and settled down. Alice pulled out the basket and started unpacking.

“Is everything okay?” (Y/N) asked after a while of fun, looking between the two of them nervously as she approached the table.

“Of course,” Alice reassured, handing them a sandwich. “We love spending time with you.”

“Oh,” (Y/N) replied, sitting down and shyly looking down at their plate with the realization that the couple only watched them have fun. “Thanks.”

“It’s our pleasure,” Jasper chimed in, handing them a water bottle. (Y/N) took it with a smile, thanking him.

“Is there anything you want to talk about? Or any questions you might have?” Alice asked, trying to think of ways to make them feel comfortable.

“Not really,” (Y/N) replied, shaking their head. “Actually, I do have a question.”

“Okay, go ahead,” Alice replied, smiling encouragingly.

“How long have you known each other?” (Y/N) asked, curious.

“Oh, we’ve known each other for quite a while now,” Alice replied, glancing at Jasper. He smiled at her and nodded.

“About 40 years now,” he replied, smiling.

“Wow! That’s so long!” (Y/N) replied, earning a chuckle from the pair. Clearly, they didn’t question ‘40 years’ for two ‘high schoolers’.

“Yeah, we’ve known each other a very long time,” Jasper replied, smiling at Alice.

“Well, I’m glad I met you,” (Y/N) said, smiling to herself and eating a couple chips from the plate in front of her like she didn’t just tell the couple the greatest thing they’d heard.

“We’re glad too,” Alice replied, smiling. “Why don’t we go swing for a bit?” She asked, getting up and holding out her hand for (Y/N) to take.

(Y/N) accepted the hand and got up, following Alice to the swings. Jasper watched the pair as they got onto the swingset, Alice sitting down on the swing next to (Y/N).

“They are so cute,” Jasper muttered to himself, though he knew Alice could hear, and smiled at them from the distance.

(Y/N) giggled as her swing got a little momentum, Alice’s hand pushing their back with her own swings.

“Look at me!” (Y/N) exclaimed, raising a hand from the swing’s chain to wave at Jasper. Jasper brought his own hand to wave back before

Boom!

(Y/N), faster than even the vampires could react and faster than they thought human, slipped from the swing and meets the ground. They scrape their knee and scratch their elbow.

“Are you okay?” Alice asked, jumping from her seat and rushing over to (Y/N).

“I,” they take in a sharp breath. “I dunno, tha’ hurt.” They admit, tears beginning to well in their eyes.

“Let me check it,” Alice replied, kneeling beside them.

“I’m fine,” (Y/N) insisted, but they weren’t really. Their lip was starting to quiver as they tried to fight off the pain.

“Come here,” Jasper said, pulling (Y/N) into a tight hug. Alice readjusted beside them, and rubbed their back.

“Shh, it’s okay,” Alice whispered, her voice soothing.

“I’m fine,” (Y/N) insisted, but their body betrayed them, and they began to cry. Jasper tightened his grip on them, and Alice continued to rub their back.

“It’s okay, baby,” Jasper whispered, his voice softening. “Just relax, I’ve got you.”

(Y/N) whimpered, their body trembling in Jasper’s arms. Jasper felt her anxiety in waves and offered his own comforts while Alice whispered more words of comfort.

“Shh, it’s okay,” she repeated, her voice gentle. “You’re safe.” She continued rubbing their back, and (Y/N) relaxed a little more in Jasper’s arms.

“I’m sorry,” (Y/N) sniffled, their voice muffled against Jasper’s shoulder.

“Don’t be sorry,” Alice reassured, continuing to rub their back. “It’s okay to cry. We’re here for you, it’s okay to be upset.”

(Y/N) nodded, sniffling again. “I’m sorry,” they repeated, their voice even more muffled.

“You don’t have to apologize,” Jasper replied, his arms still tight around (Y/N). “Crying is normal, and it’s okay.”

“I just wish I didn’t fall,” (Y/N) sniffled. “I’m so embarrassed.”

“Why would you be embarrassed?” Alice asked, confused.

“Because I fell,” (Y/N) replied, their voice hitching. “In front of you guys.”

“You’re not supposed to feel embarrassed for falling,” Jasper explained. “It happens, and you’re okay. We’re here for you.”

(Y/N) nodded, sniffling again. “I’m sorry,” they repeated.

“You don’t have to be sorry, bubs,” Jasper assured, rubbing circles on (Y/N)’s back.

After wiping the last of their tears away, Alice suggested they go back to their meal. Jasper held (Y/N)’s hand as they walked back to the table, and Alice helped them get settled and covered in a sweater for the incoming breeze.

“Do you want some bandages?” Alice asked, smiling at (Y/N).

“Yeah, thanks,” (Y/N) replied, smiling.

“I’ll be right back,” Alice smiled, getting up and grabbing her ever present bag. “Here you go,” she said, opening the paper packaging and placing the flower print adhesive around their sore knee.

(Y/N) smiled gratefully and thanked her, and the three of them finished their lunch in peace. After they’d eaten, Alice decided to bring up the thing they all knew but hadn’t established.

“So... are you a little?” Alice asked, her eyebrows raised.

“Um...” (Y/N) looked at Jasper before responding. “I guess.”

“You guess?” Jasper asked, his eyebrows furrowing.

“Well, I’ve never been around anyone who knows about it,” (Y/N) replied, looking down at their food and trying to convince themself it wasn’t a big deal they’d just said that.

“That makes sense,” Alice replied, smiling. “I’m sorry for putting you on the spot. If you don’t want to talk about it right now, that’s okay.”

(Y/N) shook their head, their eyes flickering between Alice’s and Jasper’s. “No, it’s fine. I’m just a little nervous talking about it.”

Jasper replied, his expression softening. “If you need us to stop or slow down, just let us know.”

“Thanks,” (Y/N) replied, smiling gratefully. “I guess I am a little, but I’m not sure what kind yet.”

“That’s okay,” Alice reassured. “I think we’re all different, and we can figure out what works for you together. Do you want to try something?”

“Sure,” (Y/N) replied, nodding. “What?”

“Can you try being your littlespace for a bit?” Alice asked, smiling. “We won’t push you, and we’ll be here for you. Just let us know if you’re uncomfortable.”

(Y/N) hesitated, unsure if they were ready to try it yet, but they couldn’t deny how much they enjoyed being around them. “Okay,” they replied, smiling. “But I don’t know how to go back.”

“That’s okay,” Alice reassured. “You can just relax, and we’ll help guide you back.”

(Y/N) nodded, closing their eyes and taking a deep breath. They knew it wasn’t a request for this exact moment, but their body seemed to respond to the idea before their permission, and they felt themselves shrinking a little. They blinked their eyes, l their vision distorted and blurry. They hadn’t changed at all, but the trees felt taller and their guard wasn’t forced much.

Alice and Jasper noticed immediately and stopped talking.

“Are you okay?” Alice asked, her voice calm.

“I’m okay,” (Y/N) replied, their voice sounding littler to the two.

“What happened?” Jasper asked, concern evident in his voice.

“I don’t know,” (Y/N) replied, their voice still higher pitched and slightly muffled. “I was just thinking about it, and I guess I went into my littlespace.”

“That’s okay,” Alice replied, smiling at them. “You’re doing great.”

“Yeah,” Jasper agreed, smiling at them too. “We’re here for you.”

(Y/N) smiled gratefully at them and relaxed a little more, feeling less anxious and more secure in the safety of their presence. Alice and Jasper watched them for a few moments, making sure they were comfortable.

“Feeling okay?” Alice asked, her tone warm and welcoming.

“Yeah, I’m good,” (Y/N) replied, smiling.

“Then I think you should finish the last couple bites of your plate,” Jasper suggested, smiling at them.

(Y/N) nodded, and Alice handed them their serving. She watched them eat the rest of their food and then picked up the plate, wiping it clean and placing it in the basket.

“Ready to play?” Alice asked, smiling at them.

(Y/N) nodded, smiling back. “Okay!”

“Great! Then let’s head to the playground,” Jasper replied, grinning. “We can play on the jungle gym, you want to climb around?”

“That sounds like fun!” (Y/N) replied, their eyes lighting up.

“It’s a deal,” Alice agreed, smiling at them. “Let’s go.”

The three of them got up and headed towards the playground, stopping briefly so Alice could pack up her bag.

“Would you like to hold my hand?” Alice asked, offering her hand to (Y/N) as they hesitated on the steps to the monkey bars.

(Y/N) smiled gratefully and took Alice’s hand, climbing up the ladder to the platform. Jasper followed close behind, and Alice held onto (Y/N)’s hand until they reached the top.

“You okay?” Jasper asked, his tone gentle.

“Yeah,” (Y/N) replied, nodding. “I just...” they trailed off, unsure how to explain themselves.

“It’s okay,” Jasper replied, his voice soothing. “We’re here for you. Whatever you need.”

(Y/N) nodded, and Jasper led them to the monkey bar and helped them onto it. (Y/N) gripped the metal bar tightly, their heart pounding in their chest as they started to cross. Alice hover with her arms out behind them, and Jasper stayed right beside them, making sure they didn’t lose their confidence (or grip).

“You’re doing great!” Alice cheered, her voice encouraging.

(Y/N) smiled gratefully, their face flushed with excitement and pride. “Thanks,” they replied, their voice still high pitched and slightly muffled.

“You’re welcome,” Alice replied, smiling proudly. “You’re doing amazing.”

(Y/N) grinned, their mood boosted by Alice’s praise. (Y/N) continued across the monkey bars, their heart beating faster as they neared the end.

“You made it!” Alice cheered, (Y/N) grinned and nodded with her own excitement. They reached the end, and Jasper caught them as they jumped down.

“That was so scary!” (Y/N) laughed in a way that told them was good scary, her face smooshed into Jaspers chest. He spun them around a few times before setting the little one on their feet.

“That was so cool!” Alice praised, giving them a kiss on the cheek.

“Right?!” (Y/N) replied, beaming. “Thanks for helping me.”

“Of course,” Alice replied, smiling at them. “Now we should probably head home. It’s getting late.”

“Yeah,” Jasper agreed. “Let’s get in the car.”

HEADCANONS?? BY AI????

(Slams fist down on the table like an angry viking)

IT'S PURE FUCKING MADNESS

Like I genuinely do not know where the state of fandom is even going at this point... it's like people think that fandom is a route to clout and popularity, but they literally don't care about the actual fandom content?

And as someone who has had a 'popular' fandom blog (more than once) - it is the fucking worst. Especially when you do genuinely care about the content that you are making and how it relates back to the enjoyment of the source material, being a 'popular' blog and having people chase you down for content, especially specific content, is a fucking nightmare.

The only way to enjoy fandom is to produce and consume content slowly within a small circle of people who actually appreciate it, and people who use AI are genuinely fucking stupid. Like I cannot fathom the process behind going "I like this character, let me post a fanfiction I did not write about them so that people will follow me for more fics I will not write" - like what are you getting out of it. Even if fellow fans follow you, you will probably be too lazy to participate in actual conversations about the characters you like.

And like to a small extent, I get the whole 'dopamine' of likes and clicks and bullshit, but they aren't clicking like for you or your blog, they are doing it for an AI fanfic that you did not even make. It makes my fucking brain hurt, trying to find some reasoning behind this.

And like I said in that other post, headcanons are even worse, because headcanons don't have to be a full long 1k fic, they can literally just be a one single sentence post. They are literally just thoughts. And now people are not even having original thoughts about their favourite characters.

This post took me less than ten minutes to write, even when I was feeling very unwell. And it's one of my favourite headcanon posts that I have ever written.

But headcanon posts can be something as simple as 'I think x character would like listening to Fall Out Boy' or 'I think x character would hate eating their pizza crusts' or 'I think x character would always give y character their pickle' LIKE HELLO. SIMPLE LITTLE THINGS

And people can't even be bothered. And it literally feels like by posting it, they are saying 'I no longer bother to enjoy my favourite character' like THESE ARE THE TYPE OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKE THE ROBOT FUCK THEIR WIFE AND WATCH THE SUNSET FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE SO SOULLESS

It confuses me and pisses me off so badly at the same time

[sinisterchristmastree]

In light of the AI-generated art and writing, as a college kid doing an AI degree, let me present my worthless opinion.

Artificial intelligence is a very cool and very complex field of study, and I really enjoy learning about it.

But you know what else I love? Reading fanfiction. Leaving kudos. Leaving comments and tumblr asks for authors and seeing if they replied.

I have so much love and respect towards creators. The artists, the writers, the designers... What makes you all special is that underlying humanity in your work. The raw emotions. The passion that reflects in everything you do. AI can not imitate that.

In a society where tech based careers are the "smart choice to make," you guys are super brave and talented, and I love you all so much.

Trans Turtle Tot

I saw this really cute headcanon of Rise Leo being his universes Venus but after he came out he changed his name to Leonardo. I decided to have an ai write a cute little coming out story for him.

...I was not disappointed.

AI dragging on AO3

Hey y'all, quick question: do I need to make my account on AO3 only for logged in users to prevent use of my work in different AI data mining schemes? I've kept my works available to people to read who aren't logged in on the site because I want the most people to be able to read, but I just saw a post about some girl who's started using AI to read fics on Ao3 and putting them on an app 🙄. Not that I wouldn't mind somebody podficcing my works in the true spirit of fandom or anything, but I'd like to avoid being dragged into stuff like that.

So my question is: do I have to switch to a user-only account?

[tenpintsofsundrop]

IMPORTANT UPDATE

I have just had to archive lock all of my fanficion.

In light of bot comments and AI scraping on AO3, I have archive locked all of my fics. It's something that I have been incredibly hesitant to do, because I want my fanfiction to be accessible and enjoyed by as many people as possible.

Especially because this account is new and I know that the wait list to get an AO3 account is kind of long, and a lot of my fanfics are currently only posted on AO3 and can't be read anywhere else. If you are someone who doesn't have an account and you're looking for certain fics of mine that haven't been posted here yet - I do sincerely apologize.

But I have gotten comments like this before and I had no clue they were bots. I am incredibly upset at the idea that bots have been scraping my fics, and there could be people out there reading AI generated fics with pieces of my fics spit out back into them.

If you want to read fanfiction, come to the source. Don't ask a fucking robot to spit out heartless, meaningless garbage for you because you're too impatient to wait for an author to work hard on a real update.

If you want more fanfiction - fucking support authors. Send real messages telling authors what you liked, reblog our fucking fics, come back continually and give us genuine support. A robot is never going to give you the kind of quality fanfiction that real people can.

Support fanfic authors instead of supporting an environment where it's beneficial to have fanfic scraping robots.

I’ve always been a fan of AO3 and the idea of OTW as a whole. I mean, how could you not, seeing as these guys are actively trying to support and preserve fandom culture? Having a place where all fanworks are welcomed indiscriminately and neatly archived sounded like a dream come true. It was a dream come true.

Except, well, you know…

AO3 has a lot of problems, and while I am extremely thankful for its existence and for the possibility to safely host my fanworks somewhere, I am not going to delude myself into thinking the OTW is a perfect organization. They have a big racism problem that they still haven’t addressed, years after. And now, on top of everything, the AI generated works bullshit. A lot of great points have been made regarding the matter and while I’m not going to go over them yet again (I invite you to scroll through the eight hundred something comments left on the original announcement), I can’t help point out the hypocrisy behind the OTW’s stance: they are against data scraping but have no problem hosting the results of said data scraping.

I think this is the proverbial slap in the face for a lot of fans that have been defending OTW and AO3 no matter what — they’re run by people, and people are shitty. While I get that the OTW ass kissing made sense in the anti/proship debate, I’ve seen a lot of people that take the archive for granted and are extremely uncritical about it. Yes, it is not run by a megacorp that wants to harvest our data and make a profit out of it, but it is still an organization, and a pretty big one at that. Organizations are run by people with agendas, and that’s a fact.

Perhaps there is a way out of this — as I said, OTW is not a megacorp that deals in user data and ads to generate revenue. Things can change through voting. Donating to OTW doesn’t only ensure that the archive stays running, but also that your voice as an user gets heard, and I encourage everyone to make your voices heard. Will anything change substantially? It’s hard to say. It’s been three years since their promises to address the racism in the community, but nothing has really changed. Perhaps the decision regarding the hosting of AI-generated works will have a similar fate, and it will be something that people will learn to live with. Should we learn to live with things like these? Absolutely not, but perhaps this is the price that has to be paid in order to have a place of our own. It’s never going to be a perfect place and we shouldn’t pretend it ever was. I genuinely wish there were alternatives to AO3. Not like FFN or wattpad, but alternatives made in the same spirit: by fans for fans, with maximum (although not unlimited) inclusivity, where any fanwork made out of love and good faith could find a place.

As for the time being, I am unsure what my future on AO3 is going to look like. I don’t necessarily want to archive-lock my fanworks, although that might be the best course of action. I am also wary about posting any new works on the archive, at least until we get a clear, not half-assed announcement regarding OTW’s stance on AI-generated works.

Our Little Part 2- An Alice/Jasper x Little Reader AI generated fanfiction

Part one

They packed the car and headed towards where they knew (Y/N)’s house was. As they pulled up, they noticed there were no lights on inside, and there was no car in the driveway.

“Huh,” Jasper said, frowning. “That’s weird.”

“Maybe their mom isn’t home yet?” Alice suggested, shrugging.

“Yeah, maybe,” Jasper replied, frowning. “Hey, do you think we should stay with you tonight? Just in case?”

“I think that’s a good idea,” Alice agreed, nodding. “We should probably stay until your mom gets home.”

(Y/N) nodded, feeling a little nervous but also excited to spend the night with them. “Okay.”

“Alright !” Alice replied, smiling. “Let’s go inside and get you into some warmer clothes.”

The three of them got out of the car and headed towards the front door. When they reached it, they patiently waited for (Y/N) to find their house key, before turning the handle and pushing it open. The room was empty and dark, and there was no sign of life anywhere.

“Uh...” Jasper trailed off, unsure what to say.

“Is the heater on?” Alice asked, her tone uncertain and worried.

“I don’t think so,” (Y/N) replied. “There’s a big conf’rence like a hundred states away.” It was only miles, but the sentiment stood the same for them.

“Oh...” Alice replied, frowning. “Well, we definitely shouldn’t leave you here alone.”

“Not really,” Jasper agreed, shaking his head. “Have you been home alone for long?”

“Uh...” (Y/N) trailed off, unsure of how long they’d been gone. Yesterday maybe?

“A while,” Alice replied, shaking her head. “This needs to be rectified.”

“Yes, I agree,” Jasper agreed, nodding.

“Okay little one, let’s go upstairs and get you into some warmer clothes,” Alice suggested, smiling at them. “And then we can watch a movie.”

“Okay!” (Y/N) replied, smiling back. All they needed to hear was movie. “Let’s go!”

The three of them headed up the stairs, and Alice led (Y/N) to the bathroom while Jasper found the pajamas in the drawer.

“Hmmm...” (Y/N) hummed to themselves, reaching up to pull the hair tie holding their braid together. It came loose easily, and (Y/N) dropped it onto the counter. Alice grabbed the toothbrush from the cupboard and added a dollop of toothpaste before spreading it under the running water.

“Here you go, baby,” Alice instructed, passing the toothbrush.

“Thank you !” (Y/N) replied, taking it gratefully and starting on their back teeth. Going from circular motions to a struggling back and forth.

It was obvious that they were getting littler, so Alice took the brush from their loose grip and helped them rinse out their mouth.

“Alright, now let’s get you into your pajamas,” Alice suggested, smiling. “And then we can watch a movie.” Alice couldn’t wait for their first bath time, but it would have to.

“Okay!” (Y/N) replied, nodding. “Movie time!”

“Yay!” Alice agreed, grinning. “Come on, bubs.”

They walked out of the bathroom and into the bedroom, where Jasper was waiting with their pajamas.

“What movie should we watch tonight?” He asked as his girls approached. They would have a great time cuddling downstairs in front of the tv with all the blankets and pillows gathered.

(Y/N)’s eyes lit up as they approached Jasper. “Kid movie! Kid movie!”

“Okay little one,” Jasper agreed, chuckling. “We can watch a kid’s movie. What kind of kid’s movie do you want to watch?”

(Y/N) frowned, trying to decide. “Princess?”

Alice clapped her hands, happy that they were little enough to want something princessy. “Of course, Princess! Which one do you want to watch?” Alice asked, walking over to the shelves filled with DVDs. “The Little Mermaid or Beauty and the Beast?”

“Mermaid,” (Y/N) replied, grinning. “Want to see Ariel.”

“Good choice, baby!” Alice cheered, pulling out the DVD. “Let me go put it in.” Alice walked over to the TV and put it in, before coming back to the room. There, she was greeting with her smiling baby dressed in a silk purple two piece. “Alright, are you ready?”

“Yes!” (Y/N) replied, bouncing up and down excitedly with her arms slightly raised. “Ready!”

“Come on, baby,” Jasper said, already securing the little one in his arms. They instinctually settled, hand lightly twisting the fabric at his shoulder from the slight surprise of everything.

Carrying them downstairs to the living room, he sat down on the couch, and he pulled them in tight against his chest. “Do you want to lay down or sit up?” He asked, running his fingers through their soft, curly hair.

(Y/N) leaned into him and yawned, their eyes starting to droop. “Lay down, please,” they said softly. “Want to sleep.”

“Alright, baby,” Alice replied, smiling. She walked into the kitchen and poured warm milk into a baby bottle. When she came back, she saw her baby curled up against her husband’s chest. “Here you go,” Alice said softly, passing the bottle to Jasper.

(Y/N) looked up at her, and Alice’s heart melted at how cute they looked with their big, sleepy eyes. “Thank you, Mommy,” they said softly, smiling. “I love you.”

“I love you too,” Alice replied, leaning over to kiss them on the forehead. “Drink up, baby.” Alice whisper as Jasper nudged the bottle into place. She grabbed the blanket and spread it over their sleepy baby before sitting next to Jasper and leaning against him.

“Love you too, baby,” Jasper agreed, smiling back at Alice. He kissed (Y/N)’s head gently before looking at Alice. “Ready to watch?”

“Yes,” Alice agreed, nodding.

They settled in to watch The Little Mermaid, and Jasper stroked their baby’s hair as they slowly drank their bottle. When they were done, Jasper set the bottle aside and held their baby closer against his chest.

As the movie went on, they noticed (Y/N)’s eyes drooping. “Are you ready to go to bed, baby?” Jasper asked softly.

(Y/N) nodded, their eyes slowly closing. “Sleepy.”

“Okay, baby,” Alice agreed, smiling. “Let’s take you to bed.” Alice stood up and scooped their baby out of Jasper’s arms.

She walked up the stairs, with Jasper following behind. When they reached the room, Alice walked over to the bed and laid down with (Y/N) against the pillows. “Is this okay, baby?” Alice asked softly. “Do you need your pacifier?”

(Y/N) shook their head, smiling sleepily. “No, Mommy. Don’t wanna sleep with that.”

“Okay,” Alice agreed, smiling. “But if you need it, just wake us up, okay?” Alice leaned over and kissed their forehead.

Jasper watched them settle in before moving around to the other side of the bed. He climbed in beside them and reached over, holding Alice’s hand. They smiled at each other, both happy that they were taking care of their baby.

“Goodnight, baby,” Jasper whispered. “Sleep tight.”

“Goodnight, baby,” Alice agreed, smiling. “Sweet dreams.”
