I'm such a big fan of Keeping Secrets as you can guess \*_*/ so! I was wondering if I have you permission to make a Character Ai of this particular Solas? And If I can make a prompt greeting that starts off with chapter 1? I wont totally copy it but merely insinuate. Thank you for writing Keeping Secret BTW! I really connected with Emma. I look forward to more chapters! Much love! -shena

Ohhh I hate having to do this because I normally always say yes to fanworks, but I have to say no to this one. I’m very against AI in general (at least how it’s being used atm) and definitely do not want my work fed into one, ever, sorry! This would make me extremely uncomfortable and unhappy.

I appreciate you enjoying KS, and hate having to say no to fun fanworks ideas, but given the current state of AI and the damage it’s doing to artists across the spectrum (from writers, to visual artists, even voice actors having their actual voices stolen), I really, really do not want any of my work fed into it against my will and definitely am extremely uncomfortable with one developed to mimic my writing style. :( Sorry.

i would kill for the confidence of novelists who write genius-poet characters and then actually write samples of the “genius” poetry in the book. if i were a novelist writing a genius-poet i’d just be like “trust me, the poetry’s real good.”

someone: hey I noticed this thing you did in your writing!

me, kicking my feet up flirtatiously: oh??? do you want to hear my thoughts on why I did that? do you want a play-by-play of the language choices in every related sentence? do you want an exhaustive breakdown of The Themes???

bjornolf-bjarki asked:

Does Alucard wear anything else outside of his red duster and suit get-up? I mean he has his knight armor, gimp suit, and that really fancy suit he dressed up in while he was in Rio but what else is there?

Some Alus that aren’t dressed like victorian king size beds

I’m sorry if I asked this before, everyone. But I am curious:

Peeps from all ‘round really, really enjoyed the “Because I Let My Guard Down” scene with Claire and Clanice. A Let’s Player got teary eyed, even! Mind if I ask for the personal reason it resonated with you, or felt like one of the stronger scenes in Women of Xal?

Asking because I never wrote it to be a big gut punch; just sort of… an excercise of animated dialogue and really wanting to hit home why Clanice and Claire are the way they are. #TheXimorisAreDisasters

Stumbled onto this dev blog and wondering what this game is? Link!

Guys, if you read on AO3 please try to create an account. So many of us writers are going to be forced to lock down our fics to registered users out of necessity to help keep AI away, and it kills us because we don’t want to stop any of you from reading.

AO3 is invite only. So if you know an AO3 user, ask if they have an invitation to give you (we’re given invite codes to share with others who want to join) because that’s an easy way to get in. If you don’t know someone you can ask, this is AO3’s instructions for requesting one from them…

I know this seems like an extra step and maybe you don’t think you need it and can just read from people who haven’t locked their fics. But this isn’t just about you as the reader. If you enjoy fics and you want to keep them coming, this is how you support your favorite writers! If our stats and comments plummet, I guarantee writing is going to start going down as well. Nobody wants that! So please consider making an account and signal boosting this as well! 🙏🏻

**NOTE: AO3 indicates (as of today) there’s 48k some people in the queue for invites and they’re sending out about 5k per day. That’s not a bad wait at all!!**
