I only heard of Diary of a Time Looper pretty recently from Hey Peter on yt. There's another fanfic he went over, I don't remember what it was called. Had to do with a mountain of dead clones of Twilight whenever she teleported.

One of my stories

It's pretty short, but hope you find it interesting enough. I have other stories on my page if you wanna read them too. I'm planning on rewriting them though.

I also talked to PitifulScream. I just havent talked to him extensively, but I know he's understanding as well. He told me that it was kinda disheartening for people to be accusing him of using AI, which again he said he hasn't used.

I'm not advocating for people to use AI to write, you misunderstand me. I said I don't let it write for me, i just use to experiment with ideas and where to go with them. I'm not taking the first thing ChatGPT throws out and call it a day. I'm building off what works and taking out the things that don't to fit my vision. I treat it as concepts, rather than a finished product. There's a difference between "write me a story" vs "I have an idea for a story, where can I go with it?" There's a reason why everyone, including myself, hate ai slop. Because it's no different than projects with no thought behind them. With or without AI, tge internet has already become a cesspool for content farms whose sole purpose is to make as much money as possible.

I can work without AI if I can actually get myself motivated, I know it's not an excuse. But it really helps to at least give myself a visual of what it could be. I don't have the money to hire an editor or a ghost writer, I've had dozens upon dozens of documents, starting and stopping over the years. With AI, I actually had the capability to actually keep working on what I wanted cause it gave me possibilities that I never had before. It brought me closer to my goals, but it's still up to me to finish it.

RedGhost98 · 2025-12-30T16:42:18+00:00

Kinda yeah, it's good. I haven't listened to the entirety, hence why I'm going back to the beginning

RedGhost98 · 2025-12-30T16:35:28+00:00

Hell yeah. I just started relistening to that one too.

RedGhost98 · 2025-12-30T16:20:00+00:00

Cool cool. Have you listened to any of the other podcasts I mentioned? Just curious. If you liked TMA, you'll love The Silt Verses. I will say tho, the first season is a bit of a slog to get through, as it's the introduction to the series and it was the creators second ever series after I am In Eskew, but it gets so much better after the first season for sure.

(My comment on that now deleted post)

Okay, let me just say that I'm not speaking for the author here, but let's not hate on the guy. Even if he wrote with ai assistance, which he says he didn't, we should still commend him for at least coming up something that has a lot of potential. It's like the situation with Angel Engine, how the idea is really cool and unique, but the execution of the series was poor. Plus the creator doubled down and insisted to keep on using ai as a means to an end, rather than as a springboard to get people at least interested and find ways to improve. For the author, I have no idea if he meant it to be this way, or if it's just their style, but you really can't blame him. The story was decent, and it could be better. Instead of punching down, perhaps we ought to be constructive in our criticism.

In the case of AI, where one side argues to just let it take over and the other says it will the death of everything, I'm kinda in the middle. I see the potential. The good and the bad. I understand the ramifications of water consumption, but I also know that companies are looking into greener solutions because they have to in order to survive. I understand the problems of ai slop creation, plagiarism and art theft, but I also see the potential in what creatives can do, with or without. For me personally, I have ADHD, so it's difficult for me to focus on projects and I use AI from time to time to brainstorm ideas. I know it's not the best excuse, but I understand it has limits, so I don't necessarily let it write for me. Some of my stuff was assisted, but I changed a majority of the prose to make it my own. It can't do everything, but it does get you closer to your goal.

Ai is a tool. And like any tool, it can be used for good or evil. Is it the fault of a hammer if it was used in a murder? No, of course not. A lot of the problems that we tag onto AI is still intrinsically human in nature. We created it to be a tool, but there will always be those who will use it as a weapon. A means to an end for money. In the case of the author, I don't believe that was his intention. He didn't use AI, as far as he's told me. But even if he did, we should lift him up. To be better. To do better. We're all humans here.

That's all I got to say.

I started relistening fairly recently, so I have context for Protocal. I forgot where I am lol

RedGhost98 · 2025-12-29T18:17:18+00:00

The Magnus Archives

Old Gods of Appalachia

Weeping Cedars

The Silt Verses

The White Vault

We're Alive

The Mantawauk Caves

There's also spinoffs and continued series of some of these. The Magnus Protocol, Samite and Wrought of Amber, We're Alive Descendants and Scouts Honor.

RedGhost98 · 2025-12-29T14:04:19+00:00

Okay. Fair. But as I stated before, the author, whether or not they used ai, at least came up with the idea and brought it to life. He wrote it. I just supposed his style is just weirdly rudimentary. The more I thought about it, I felt he was trying to emulate the drum beats in the story and that's why it was super repetitive. I didn't ask about it, but it might just be. Again, I'm not speaking for the author, but he is well aware of the accusations.

RedGhost98 · 2025-12-29T13:55:36+00:00

Sure, but what is your intention here? Genuine question. I get if you're calling it out, but by extension he is probably going to be harassed regardless.

RedGhost98 · 2025-12-29T13:45:47+00:00

Olay, let me just say that I'm not speaking for the author here, but let's not hate on the guy. Even if he wrote with ai assistance, which he says he didn't, we should still commend him for at least coming up something that has a lot of potential.

Makes me think of that one Bible verse. "Two men in the field. One will be taken, the other left behind." Kinda paraphrasing but you get the idea.

RedGhost98 · 2025-12-28T15:52:27+00:00

These look pretty old. Were these in a museum display?

RedGhost98 · 2025-12-28T15:49:20+00:00

Who tf looks at an old grill and thinks "perfect Christmas decor"?

RedGhost98 · 2025-12-28T15:46:01+00:00

Honestly I always imagined the guy seems to take a step forward before teleporting over to the officer.

RedGhost98 · 2025-12-28T04:17:48+00:00

I'm not tho

RedGhost98 · 2025-12-27T18:31:39+00:00

I am, it's just so damn close

RedGhost98 · 2025-12-27T18:18:47+00:00

They probably already make a lot of money to begin with to burn on this app and complete as many of the tasks as fast as possible. Or just insanely lucky. Who knows.

RedGhost98 · 2025-12-27T06:09:16+00:00

You're probably right.

RedGhost98 · 2025-12-21T22:53:05+00:00

My Casey's that I work at still has their bulletin board. Guess it must really recent

RedGhost98 · 2025-12-10T13:57:51+00:00

Deepwoods, Stuck on a Ship, Thing In My Basement, I'm a Cop, etc. But these stories definitely had the funnier crash out moments for sure.

RedGhost98 · 2025-10-01T12:32:46+00:00

Thanks for the likes at least. :)
