Hello! Is there an ao3 collection for this event?

Yes!

I think I linked it already, but I keep it closed until October the first.

No AI generated text.

No AI generated art.

This event is about human creativity, don't let algorithms take that away from you.

Telling stories is human creativity, it's one of the oldest art forms we have. Generative AI is the antithesis of creativity. It is an algorithm programmed to put the statistically most common word next to the other (to call that intelligence is quite insulting). You may not care and that is your right, but I think that generative AI is making us all less creative and more stupid and I don't want to boost that on this blog.

[fictober-event]

I'm gonna have to set a rule that generative AI text won't be accepted, am I? And same for graphics made with generative AI.

I don't want anything from the mediocre plagiarism machines on this blog.

I got a comment recently and I wanted to address that without singling out that one person.

They said, to my remark about this being "not a know-the-prompts-months-before-to-prepare event, this is the prompts-show-up-start-writing event. 😊" that I should be aware that not everyone is like that and some writers need more prep time.

I get that. But then you'll have to find another prompt list. There's hundreds of them around for October, hell, you can always start your own prompt list.

This here, this blog, posting and reblogging, it's only me. This is a tiny blog, by the way, just 1700 followers. This is not an official tumblr event, this is just me. Everyone can do this.

I like running events, I like the feeling of a worldwide community. Currently, I'm also running an event at @the-wip-project, 40k in 42 days, which runs until 14th of September. That means, I also have to hit my 40k (oh this is going to be difficult!) so I'm busy for the first half of September.

Coming up with a list of prompts is not that difficult, but setting up the page, editing all the links to the former prompts and the collection, that is a lot of actual html editing and fiddling.

So, unfortunately, the prompts will be ready when they're ready, I cannot promise a specific date.

I'll see you all in October!

[fictober-event]

I had so much fun with this last year, will you be continuing it this year? If so, do you have a rough idea of when you'll announce the prompts? Either way, thanks for all the work you did last year and I hope your day is fantastic!

Yes, fictober will continue, no worries.

As for the prompts, this is not a know-the-prompts-months-before-to-prepare event, this is the prompts-show-up-start-writing event. 😊

I'll be posting the prompts at some point between the middle and end of September.

Thanks for the ask and I hope your day is fantastic too! 💕

Fictober 2023 is over.

And thus Fictober 2023 comes to an end.

You can of course write with with these prompts as much as you like, but this blog will go to sleep until next year.

I loved all your creations and was happy to see old fandoms participate and so many new fandoms! Awesome stuff. You're all so creative, keep this spirit for the next year.

See you Fictober 2024!
