the fake fic ask game

🐝 send me a fake fic title, and I’ll make up a summary for it!

🐑 send me a fake set of fic tags, and I’ll try to come up with a summary for it!

🦮 send me a summary I already did for one of the above two, and I’ll try to write a snippet for that summary!

#still have other asks to answer #but those'll take a while #so why not add new ones? XD #feel free! #just know I'm slow at answering in general *cough #but always happy to receive these #ask games

My latest comic for The Nib was written by my friend Mike Thompson- it’s his first published comics work! 

The Nib has been a steady source of income and a huge support to me and many other indie cartoonists for years. They publish amazing work, but will be cut loose by their financial backer in July. You can read the official post about it from editor Matt Bors here.  They are still running their kickstarter-funded print magazine, but have to put digital publishing on hiatus until they figure out their next steps. If you’ve been thinking about supporting their membership program, now would be a good time. They have levels from $2 to $40 per month. I really don’t want this to be my last Nib piece!

the issue with writing for yourself is that you will get sucked into rereading your own fic over and over and pretend it’s “editing,” but really you’re just reading because it’s exactly what you want to read. because you wrote it. for you.

#no #it's Editing #I find at least one typo each time! #a writer's life #writing fanfic #XD

Nikola, walks in, holding a glass of wine : Okay, truth or dare?

Helen, sighing and not looking up from her work: Not now, Nikola

Nikola, standing in front of her desk with his wineglass near her files : Helen *pause* Truth or dare?

Helen, not looking up and slightly annoyed: Truth

Nikola: How many hours have you slept this week?

Helen, stops writing: ...Dare

Nikola: Go to bed.

Helen, finally looking up: I don't like this game

Nikola : *grins and pulls her out of her chair*

Sanctuary community?

I was thinking of giving this community feature a try and creating a Sanctuary For All community. But since they're being manually approved right now, I guess it'd take a while to open, which means I also can't check if anyone else has already started one.

I guess this is me wondering whether there's interest in me creating one and whether someone else has already done so (I wouldn't want to create competition, seeing how we're already such a small fandom :)

EDIT: 5/18/24 Lore.fm has deleted its app, its website, and all prior TikToks. They uploaded a TikTok apologizing for the stress they caused EDIT: Update Lore.fm’s current version has been shut down! 5/17/24

Hey I don’t know if this is being talked about on Tumblr but thankfully the AO3 subreddit has a conversation going about this app that just went live.

TikTok user unravel.me.now has just launch an app (lore.fm) she is calling “Audible for AO3”. It’s an app that uses AI voices to read out fics.

🚨She is requiring any authors who do not want their fics to be on this app to OPT OUT by emailing [email protected] 🚨 🚨She has not given an actual template or how you’re supposed to prove you’re the author or said how her team will process this or how she will keep these requests secure🚨

I do not have this app. I haven’t seen anyone use it yet. According to Reddit users, unravel.me.now’s earlier TikToks stated she envisions the app being able to create libraries stored on that app and to have version of “Spotify wrapped”. That implies that eventually data collection must happen, if it’s not happening currently.

I don’t know the actual capabilities of this app. I don’t know the legalities. I do know that it personally feels like this app is trying to turn AO3 into a content generation source and I haven’t heard of the app allowing you to leave a comment or kudos or interact with the original work.

I’m just sad about this.

#lore.fm #ao3 #only saw this just now #already been debating 'locking' my AO3 account because of AI scrapping #but I feel like especially smut and kink is often read on guest accounts #which I can totally understand and don't want to prohibit #still unsure about how to proceed with this question #but at least lore.fm now doesn't seem to be something I have to think about at the moment

When they say Friends to Lovers is "boring" but you know this is fundamentally wrong because you had a feral obsessive phase over one of the spiciest Friends to Lovers arcs of all time

Fanfic Writers: Director’s Cut

Reblog this if you want readers to come into your ask box and ask for the “director’s commentary” on a particular story, section of a story, or set of lines. 

Or, send in a ⭐star⭐  to have the author select a section they’ve been dying to talk about!

#ask away #though I'd prefer a specific ask :) #been hesitant to reblog this #what I'm generally “dying to talk about” is what I haven't yet written XD #ask games
