”I've been playing with [a major AI-driven chat bot] and I asked it to write a young wizards fanfic that contains dialogue. ...I wish i could paste it here, but the character limit won't let me.”
(hiding eyes)
(a) Once more, the reminder: please, please don't send me story ideas or fics set in my universes. Reading them would expose me legally in ways I can't permit. If such things turn up in my ask box, I delete them unread. If through a lapse of concentration or some similar error I find myself mistakenly reading a story idea or fic, I am required to make a note of it for legal purposes, and then can never use those ideas in my own writing, ever, anywhere.
So please understand that sending me a story idea or a fic set in my universes (or others where I write) will guarantee that the idea never happens in my work. It may seem paradoxical and/or counterintuitive, but if you have an idea that you wish I'd do something with, the odds of that happening are significantly increased by you making sure that I never see it.
(This, BTW, is one of the reasons I had to close my ask box to anon asks; some repeat offenders were making it impossible for me to protect myself... as when people refuse to stop sending me such things, I block them. My apologies to all the well-intentioned would-be nonnies out there—but the actions of some of you have destroyed an avenue of access for everybody else.)
(b) Please do not purposefully expose my IPs to the attention of any AI/LLM-based chat platform, anywhere. Unscrupulous whole-book AI-oriented scraping has stolen enough of my stuff already this year. (As my search of the Books3 pirated books database, widely used for AI training, shows here.) It's infuriating enough that bad actors have taken my writing and will be using the expertise inherent in it to put other living, breathing writers out of work. Please don't help them do more of that.
How people who plagiarize really piss me off. Worse when they excuse themselves in the language difference, they think you're stupid not to realize it. Those of us who read realize it, ladies and gentlemen! There are already translators, for pity's sake. In fact, thanks to these translators, you can plagiarize, pretending to be self-righteous. Please, more respect for copyrights, for heaven's sake.
Heads up, fellow artists. I've been warned about yet another site that encourages people to repost others' art for use as Clipart, copyrights be damned. The scoundrels are at https://www.hiclipart.com . The pieces in question came from either my DeviantArt coloring collection, or were scanned from one of my coloring books. There are numerous artists works posted on this site without permission, to be used as "free clip art". Please spread the word and encourage the site to take down the stolen works.
Stranger Things 4 | Chapter Seven | The Massacre at Hawkins Lab
I did a thing of slapping a coloring over the video sequence. Please enjoy the entire Steddie Upside Down scene with sound and the lights on.
If you use for screenshots and stuff, I'd appreciate credit.
💡Stranger Things scenes you can actually see (1/?)
The coloring varies scene to scene because that's what happens in the original material and it's too much a pain in the ass to adjust it for every camera change the way I usually do for gifs. Sorry if it goes a bit too red at certain points.
PS Beware of Steve's flashlight, it will blind you 😂
I’m sure someone’s wife would appreciate the sentiment, but not sure the delivery mechanism should be a knock-off coffee mug bought on Facebook Marketplace.

"Which of your OCs would commit murder" is easy mode. I want to know which of your OCs is most likely to commit identity theft. I want to know which of your OCs is most likely to organise a Ponzi scheme. I want to know which of your OCs is most likely to engage in tax fraud.
What if I make them middle aged men who are dating and starring in a movie called "Train of Madness" where they're going on a trip by train and meet old friends and go through time and find out how far they've come but also they have to escape the mad doctor then what
not larries freaking out about high in California cause he said green in it. would you imagine? the word green in a song about weed?
at least if they were buying the digital version I’d be less annoyed but sigh.
So Larries mass stole a song meant to boost UK charting, instead of waiting a few days, and then they make his song saying he was “doing anything to feel alive” about their explicit mlm fetish.
Is there anything shein does that like 99% of other fast fashion companies don't or is there maybe some other reason all the comments on that one quote I posted are like "wow first time sheins not been evil and not been literally the worst company on earth"
