    Why are writers fighting the future AI?

    These discussions pop up daily now. I always hear, "Why? Just why?" Show me one AI-generated/modified story on SH that's successful. If you can't, just accept that AI stories are not something people enjoy.

    I got a 404 error on my fanfic. I indicated that it was my work and that I was translating it from my native language. I'd been publishing this fanfic

    Is that really the case? As far as I can tell, there are hundreds of people who still have the link just separated with a _ or a @ that replaces the a. Someone even said he'll just bypass the system in the very same thread Toni announced the changes and justified it because he is in a bad...

    Require new chapters to have at least 500 words to appear on the Front Page.

    Who wants to outright ban it? You are the third person misstating me. I am merely talking about visibility on the front page. I fully agree with you. Banning something is nearly always a dumb idea. I don't care what people do... their stories, their decisions. Let them write 5-word chapters...

    Require new chapters to have at least 500 words to appear on the Front Page.

    Aside from the porn... You kinda pointed out exactly what multiple people said. This guy's chapters are half chapter and half Patreon promotion/link/summary. So I guess it would be difficult to implement a system that prevents that, and using manual reports would require multiple people who do...

    Require new chapters to have at least 500 words to appear on the Front Page.

    The first page of the front page has 25 slots... so yes. I am not saying: "I want more clout," but I think it's clearly something that's not quite right. It will be abused, and it is currently being abused. Other people get overshadowed/pushed back because of announcements. I think it's a...

    Require new chapters to have at least 500 words to appear on the Front Page.

    This suggestion was made because I stumbled over quite a few stories that release 200-word chapters and others who use chapters as a way to "Update" their readers and get additional readers without delivering new contents. Others write: "Patreon" Update and blatantly break the rules, but still...

    Require new chapters to have at least 500 words to appear on the Front Page.

    No author can release 2 chapters a day over a longer period of time. Why should people get 2 front page slots a day for 2 x 200-word chapters, when someone else who delivers one 5k-word chapter a week only gets 1/14 of that?

    Require new chapters to have at least 500 words to appear on the Front Page.

    I mentioned that, right? If people do that, the chapter can be reported, and the author could be warned or made ineligible for the front page for a month or so. I think the argument, "People will abuse the system either way, so let's not care and just do nothing," is kind of weak. Yes, and...

    Require new chapters to have at least 500 words to appear on the Front Page.

    So? You can still release 2 microchapters with just a few hundred words every day.

    Require new chapters to have at least 500 words to appear on the Front Page.

    Many people release chapters between 1k and 5k words. Personally, I have to admit I just aim for 1.5k to 2k. Anyway, I believe there are multiple valid arguments to be made for how long chapters should be, and this suggestion isn't about that. However, I think anyone can understand that there...

    Do you use AI to help you? Asking humbly to anyone out there. I'm seeking an answer.

    AI Generated Stories - Stories created mostly by AI will be rejected. You can use AI to help create your stories but most of the story should still be written by you. If you have AI reword/tweak/improve/edit your story, you are within the rules. If you write 10 lines of random stuff and then...

    Do you use AI to help you? Asking humbly to anyone out there. I'm seeking an answer.

    Never seen such a chaotic and confusing post. What do you even want? I'll just tell you what you want to hear: You are a good boy. :blob_reach: Keep doing it, it's totally fine. :blob_reach: We all agree with you. :blob_reach: For real, though. Use AI for WHATEVER you want. It is not...

    Fanfics and Monetization

    Useless... half ot the popular stories on this site are fanfics. Just check out Trending. Face it, this site is all about Fanfics... as much as some people loathe them.

    Fanfics and Monetization

    Man, I'm seeing so many Fanfictions declaring not declaring themselves as such... not sure I want to snitch, but this pisses me off. Fandom is gone, and now people are abusing the system already. Obviously, this whole thing did not work out that great....

    Random fanfic idea

    Very not good. :blob_no: That's just my opinion, though... write the story yourself and prove me wrong! You can do it. Give it a try.

    Feedback on my stories?

    It does more than fix your grammar. It sounds artificial, and it uses words you probably couldn't even define. It's not "fixing" but "rewriting" your story. I can pretty much guarantee that you wrote your chapter, but the AI used it as the general "outline" of a plot and rewrote every part and...

    Feedback on my stories?

    Your story does not contain a single mistake. The grammar, spelling, and punctuation are perfect... yet the single paragraph you use as an introduction contains multiple mistakes and is barely readable. Still gave it a read and the plot is fairly interesting... but as it's obviously at least...

    Fandom feature gone?

    Could be true... and if that's the case, I'd understand it. I'm hoping Tony could at least clarify what is happening, if this is just temporary, and if it could be restored. I mean, it's not just the Fandom system, but also the Fanfiction Genre, which you can't click on anymore.

    Fandom feature gone?

    Looks like the Fandom system is permanently gone... I still don't get it. What does that have to do with Monetization? It's only a special tag for Fanfics, so you can find them more easily. Maybe Tony wants to completely disassociate the site from popular franchises and thus makes fanfics harder...
