Just a quick not friendly reminder: someone who has apologized for past mistakes, made amends for past actions, and clearly no longer holds past beliefs, is a far better person than one who digs up old dirt and uses a person's past that no longer exists against them.
Ok, so I saw @yesthefandomfreakblr's post about Gregor not returning to the Underland, and it got me thinking about a potential fic idea.
I know this is going to sound very weird, and I've probably only been thinking about it because I've been watching the show recently, but hear me out here:
Gregor's Bizarre Adventure.
Like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, but the protagonist is Gregor. He gets his own stand, goes on a crazy adventure across America battling other stand users and making friends, with the whole story it's more or less removed from the Underland, focusing more on how that trauma affected him, and possibly maybe Vampire Solovet as an antagonist.
Gregor: Hey, I just realized I actually don't know anything about you.
Ripred: You just noticed?..
Gregor: Can I ask some questions? And you have to be completely honest?.. Y'know. Seeing as I have to trust you with my life and you're one of my very few inner circle members down here I'm forced to work with regularly.
Ripred: I love the use of the word forced there.
Gregor: Come on man, just a few questions.
Ripred: Fair, shoot.
Gregor: So... Like do you lift up one leg to pee like a dog or do you stand up?...
Ripred: Not like, I dunno, 'hey are you a terrorist?' 'What are your interests outside of babysitting in Hell?' No? Nothing of genuinely character revealing nature?
Ares: Answer the question.
Gregor: He's dodging the question.
Ares: He's being defensive and suspicious, we cannot trust him.
Ripred: I hate you both immensely and I will kill you.
kind of wanna reinforce this here. because i’ve seen ai writing become so popular on tik tok.
ai writing is not okay.
it’s literally theft. just like how ai art steals, ai writing steals. it’s using authors’ very real work to generate whatever you type in. and this also needs to be said as well.
writing is a form of art. fanfiction is a form of literature.
seeing this all over my fyp is REALLY discouraging. fanfic itself is already a labor of love and we love it when you interact. but please do not use ai writing for your fanfic needs when this writing literally steals from fanfic authors.
genuinely don’t know if this post will go around because my interactions outside of hcs are shit, but i hope it does.
