good things will happen 🧿

things that are meant to be will fall into place 🧿

THIS ONE FUCKING WORKS. REBLOG IT.

this for real fucking works

Apparently this one fuckin works, and who am I to argue with the collective agreement of tumblr. Will report back if good things happen.

"this fic uses em dashes, so it must be ai-generated" real humans use em dashes.

"this fic has long paragraphs with overly described details and scenes, so it must be ai-generated" real humans can write like this.

"this fic has inconsistencies, so it must be ai-generated" real humans make errors and mistakes. that's why we have this thing called plot holes. sometimes writers are tired and they don't remember what they wrote in the last sentences or paragraphs, let alone chapters.

"this fic sounds robotic and unnatural, so it must be ai-generated" not every writer writes in their native language. sometimes they can sound 'robotic and unnatural' if they wrote in their second or third or fourth language (and kudos to them).

"this fic has a prompt left in it that the author forgot to delete, so it must be ai-generated" the 'prompt' the author accidentally left in their fic could actually be a part of an outline that was meant only for them, so they could keep track of what they would write.

"this author posts too often, no human writes this fast, so they must use ai" 1.) you don't know how fast someone can or can't write, how much time a person has in a day or how motivated/skilled they are. 2.) the frequent updates you see could be something that has already been finished and sitting in the author's drafts for god knows how long. just because it's recently posted doesn't always mean it's recently written.

my point? no, you can never know if a fanfic is 'ai-generated'. unless the author says they use ai, you're just assuming, suspecting and witch hunting. chances are that you're not going to 'stop ai fics from being created', you're just going to wrongly accuse genuine writers of using ai and ruin their day at best, make them want to quit writing or sharing their works at worst.

Clark Kent had lost his way in life.

It had been two years since he had last seen you. Two years of feeling completely alone.

Clark had come to Earth with one purpose: to protect people. And while he was learning to use his powers, while he was trying to bear the weight of the responsibility he had been given, regardless of the uncertainty and fear, he had an anchor. He had you.

You were his Sun, he needed you to be stronger.

And because of him, he had lost you.

this fic healed me the way @whiteoaksblog’s hurt me. i will just imagine that this is the continuation haha

you are both awesome writers and you are amazing in taking a part of your reader and replacing it with yours. your work will stay with me. ❤️

You're so sweet, thank you so much for your kind words 🥺🫶🏻 it really means a lot.

it’s me.

Im just feeling a certain way rn

Reading my own fanfiction is basically just a rollercoaster of emotional whiplash.

20% of the time: “Hold on. I wrote this? This is fire. This is emotionally devastating in the best way. This scene is dripping with tension. I’m a literary perfectionist. Someone give me a book deal.”

80% of the time: “Straight to jail. Immediate prison. Why is everyone’s breath hitching?. I used the word ‘gaze’ three times in one paragraph like I was possessed. Did I think 'his eyes darkened' was profound? Why is everyone clenching their jaws? Why is someone whispering 'their name like a prayer' again?? No one talks like this. What is this dialogue. Why are there so many weird metaphors and em-dashes…”

i sit here like a Victorian widow (perfectly normal adult who should be working) crying about my dead husband (ao3) who died in war (gone off to the maintenance lands) waiting for something that will never be back (20 long hours)
