So It Looks Like NaNoWriMo Are Happy To Have AI As Part Of Their Community. Miss Me With That Bullshit.

So it looks like NaNoWriMo are happy to have AI as part of their community. Miss me with that bullshit. Generative artificial intelligence is an active threat to creativity and the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people in creative fields.

Please signal boost this so writers can make an informed choice about whether to continue to take part in such a community.

Olivia I wanted you to say that. I'm going to miss you

all debates abt the artistic merits of fanfiction fail to recognize the purpose of fic. you don’t write fic to be published or to learn how to construct a narrative although you can use it to develop style. you write it so that your friends will message you “bestie you’re utterly deranged for this one im eating dirt” 

Oh yeah I I finally listened to the last Juno episode a few days ago and I have so many feelings about it.

I love that he's ended up in the same city we started. The same one he grew up in and hated, that brought him so much trauma and that he still could come to love in the end. Really fucking resonated with me to be honest. People talk so much about getting out of their childhood homes because of how much they went through there, and that's valid as hell, but my experience is a bit. different I guess. And I've never really seen it portrayed anywhere. The place changes and you change and you heal with time and come to appreciate things. It feels really nice to see that happen to a character I really love.

Also it makes me so fucking happy that the last conversation of the whole podcast is between Juno and Rita and not someone else. That she is enjoying what she has and is content with her life without a love interest in the end, just doing something she cares about. like I absolutely adore Vespa and Buddy and Juno and Peter but also. no romance for my girl and that's alright because she has other important people in life who she loves and who love her back. It all ends with them both finding home with each other after all the years of searching. I love them so fucking much my god. maybe the true penumbra were the friends we had even before it all started but came to appreciate a lot more. what if I cried.

Tape recorder clicking on by itself in the world of no fears — we are so fucking back in the worst way.
