Case in point: JMS had to delay "Passing Through Gethsemane" from S2 to S3 of Babylon 5 because a fan happened to mention the central idea on a forum where JMS saw it. It wasn't until he was able to contact the person and get them to sign a paper saying they understood JMS already had the idea and no, he wasn't steeling something from the guy, that he could actually put the script into process. Because, if they'd just gone ahead, the guy could have sued the production company for taking his idea and possibly won.

That's not an apocryphal story, either. I was at the LosCon where JMS first showed Passing Through Gethsemane and he told the story by way of introducing it.

You can't sell the story you wrote about someone else's IP, but they in turn can't just take the ideas contained it your story which are original to you without compensating you.

But back up to the original ask, this is just a new iteration of the jerks who say "I don't have to respect your rights to the work you created." Now it's "I can feed this to AI because you have no rights and you know it." Used to be, we'd see things like people taking a fic, rewriting the ending to way they wanted it--or finishing an unfinished fic--and presenting it as "their" work.

You don’t own fanfics. They’re inherently public domain because they aren’t your IP. Agree or disagree with AI, there are no grounds for “protection” from AI because it isn’t your IP to begin with. That’s what you chose when you chose this medium

Oh dear.

Okay, you get an answer, because at least you took the effort to write your ask out properly, even if you are hiding behind the grey, sunglassed circle.

Do I, or any fanfic author for that matter, have any legal claims to our work? No, not really, no. (Although if someone took a fic, filed off the serial number–deleted the fandom specific elements–, and then had it published for financial gain, yeah, that would be a case.)

BUT

Fandoms are built on a social contract that says we respect each others work, the effort people put into their art. We don’t steal or disrespect the work of our peers. By feeding people’s fanworks to AI you both steal and disprect it, and we need to make people realize that before it’s too late–before fandom falls apart, because there will be no more real, actual fanworks.

Disrepectfully,

Orlissa

Okayvso I've been a bit concerned with Ollie's obsession with food- he recently tried to chew his way through my mattress to get to the bag of treats I hid under it- but there last couple days I've been getting home maybe two hours after his food dispenser is set to give him dinner and it's been full?

And here's the thing. He KNOWS when it dispenses food. When I'm home, I see him jolt awake out of a dead sleep to the sound of the warm-up noise that comes BEFORE THE ALERT CHIME SOUNDS. He's usually halfway down the hall before anything even hits the bowl.

And he ALWAYS hoovers it down. ALWAYS. he has NEVER left food behind.

But today I came home, and as he ran to meet me at the door (as always) he only let me get a few of his usual snuggles in before trotting off to the kitchen, where I caught up to find him eating from the dispenser. Which had dispensed an hour and a half ago. And I think I figured it out

Ollie is a bottle baby. A human fed him by hand from a bottle every two hours until he could do solids

Once he could do solids, a human portioned out his kitten gruel every four hours

After that, a human brought him his meals and ate their own beside him every single day

Bringing us to NOW, where he will Kirby his dinner with a concerning urgency if there is a human in the house, but will apparently hold off several hours if he is alone

Son Boy is a social eater

Its not that he doesn't want his food, he just prefers company

Ryoko Kui Exhibition & ''Delicious in Dungeon'' Exhibition

"Delicious in Dungeon" Artwork

Cover illustration draft, vol. 1

Since this was the first volume, I tried out a few different drawings and had the editor and designer choose which ones they wanted, then made small adjustments. I personally liked the top-down draft, and the one of the cooking processes (back cover) the best. But looking back, I sincerely think it's good that we didn't go with those. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 2

The format was decided for volume 1. So, volume 2 came together quickly. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 3

I thought it might be cool to make the character Chilchuck darker in the foreground, and the background brighter! But it didn't quite work out the way I had imagined. I think it could have been a bit better. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 4

I remember that the overall shape of volume 4 came together very quickly. The character Senshi's hands didn't fit nicely, so I moved them backwards and to the side. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 5

I thought people might start to think "how many have I bought?" so I wanted to create a slightly different impression with this volume. I decided to put the character right in the center and try putting it together all in blue and green hues. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 6

With the Red Dragon defeated, have we reached the halfway point in the story? With this in mind, I thought of how many volumes were left to go, and the number of characters, and decided to pair up the characters Namari and Shuroiro. In hindsight, it would have been fine to have them on one cover each. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 7

The image is of focus lines converging on the character Izutsumi. This is the kind of cover, with upside down characters, which I've always wanted to try once(?) I submitted it as a trial, thinking that at this point the cover wouldn't dramatically influence sales. However, in the end, we decided it would be better not to have it upside down. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 8

I tried blurring the mushrooms in the foreground, then I accidentally saved over it, and couldn't go back to the original. I remember apologizing that it was probably tacky, when I submitted it. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 9

I don't think snake meat is marbled at all, but if it has an unfamiliar look, people might not recognize it as meat… so I made it look like beef to make it easier to understand. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 10

I thought it might be interesting to have more than one of the main characters on the cover again, so I added the character Falin. I remember it wasn't badly received, but it still ended up just being Thistle on his own. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 11

I wanted this cover to be covered in shiny gold. After I finished it, it didn't have enough color, so I painted the tablecloth green, and it ended up looking like Christmas colors. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 12

Up to this point, the covers have featured one of the main characters holding cooking utensils in the foreground and a monster in the background, but I thought it might be interesting to reverse the format just before the final volume, so I drew this cover with that in mind. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 13

volume 13 was meant to be the final one, but it was too thick to be published as a single volume, so we decided to split it into two. The question of “so, what should I draw next!?" may be at the forefront of volume 13. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 14

I had decided that the final cover definitely needed to have everyone eating together on it, but because I was publishing two books at the same time I was pressed for time, and it was difficult to have a cover with so many characters on it. I also submitted a rough for an illustration that didn't need me to draw any crowds, but such obviously easy ideas are never adopted. (Kui)

TV anime "Delicious in Dungeon"

About the ending illustration.

I drew these based on the director's instruction "This kinds of pictures." I hardly ever have the chance to draw color illustrations, so it was a valuable experience for me. (Kui)

[Kui's commentary is from the english pamphlet]

i think mumbo/grian/skizz is one of the best teamups we could have gotten for this season specifically, because if this first session is anything to go by, then watching skizz "least observant minecraft player ever" skizzleman and mumbo "third least observant minecraft player ever" jumbo (scar is number two) try to figure out what the wild card is each episode while grian knows but doesn't give them any hints is gonna be glorious

[dreamyintersexouppy]

seriously tho the kind of social and medical trauma that overlaps between the fat girl experience and trans girl experience is wild, having to cope with both is brutal, show love and kindness to your local fat transfem NOW
