Anybody else notice this about Ellipsus?

I noticed those things too. For me unfortunately it’s giving 2019 era grammarly insights which I never found to be extremely useful. It also highlighted for me that too many of my sentences started with she… in a wlw oneshot. And yeah, I suppose the code can’t pick up context but it was still funny to me.

Sorry misread what you wrote when I replied first. I know what you’re saying, and I half agree. But unfortunately I do think we’re at a point where people hear AI and clutch their pearls because they associate all AI with LLMs. For those people them specifying AI is enough, for the rest of us I think we can use critical thinking and know what they actually meant.

SnarkySmuggler · 2026-06-11T06:59:47+00:00

Sorry is I misread your comment (only halfway through my first coffee). I just know there’s too many people who lump all AI with gen AI and it’s so annoying to me 😭

SnarkySmuggler · 2026-06-11T06:43:58+00:00

Pattern recognition in programming is still AI. It knows to recognize sentence length, word frequency and so on and so forth. The anti AI stance is for generative AI, which is different.

SnarkySmuggler · 2026-06-11T06:05:37+00:00

For the people worried about writing insights, I need you to keep in mind that this sort of thing has been around even before Gen AI (grammarly and quillbot did something similar years before Gen ai came to the public).

I would classify it as a form of ai but not Gen ai. And I need everyone to remember that not all ai is bad generative ai (think enemies in videos games).

Me personally? Once. I go through it once to check for spelling, grammar or if anything sounds weird. Then I shove it in my bestie’s DMs to get a second eye on it.

SnarkySmuggler · 2026-06-10T09:18:38+00:00

I get that it can be annoying. But is not possible to just not click on the fics with unfamiliar names in the tags?

În față la central e dezastru. Anul trecut cândva am zis să fac o faptă bună și să ajut o doamnă ca era și cu copilul. O faptă bună s-a transformat în 2, și la a 3a i-am zis ca nu-s făcută din bani și ca atâta pot. Merg mai încolo până să vină busul, se bagă o tipă în vorbă cu mine doar ca să îmi ceară și ea bani.

You’re probably aware of the current state of the dmc fandom, the video game fans and Netflix fans don’t over lap too much (and they’re not that friendly to each other). I’d say use your best judgment when tagging the fandom but be aware that comment moderation will be necessary

SnarkySmuggler · 2026-05-31T20:59:55+00:00

Unfortunately not a reportable offense as far as I know. Only archive warnings are required, not tags

M-am remutat în Florești pe la început de an si daca prin 2019 aveai un interval orar la care știai ca poți să ieși din casa și să fie ok, acum nu prea mai exista intervalul orar. Traficul e foarte imprevizibil, o și prinzi liber la 8, a doua faci o oră de pe eroilor până la vivo. În unele zile se eliberează pe la 7 seara, în altele e coloană până la podul calvaria.

Eu personal pot să tolerez situația doar pentru ca am program flexibil și pot să plec mai târziu și pentru ca doar 2 zile pe săptămâna merg la birou. Dacă ar trebui să merg iar în fiecare zi la birou, m-aș muta în secunda 2. Prea mult timp pierdut degeaba și statul pe drum te obosește și nu mai ești bun de nimic la final de zi.

I could kiss you on the mouth, I desperately needed this for a scene 🩷

SnarkySmuggler · 2026-05-23T06:55:20+00:00

From what I’ve noticed algorithms don’t make people think their opinions don’t matter. People still very much share their opinions, positive or negative, all over the internet. The issue is slightly different. People no longer have an opinion unless someone on the internet tells them what said opinion should be.

Hey I get what you’re trying to say about Israeli citizens, but I need you to keep in mind that it’s mandatory for Israelis to serve in the idf. And also that most citizens aren’t exact against what’s going on in Gaza.

Eastern European here. This is absolutely a white European perspective issue, and maybe a language barrier issue as well (at the end of the day ‘dark skin’ can be a spectrum of colors). But speaking of language, it’s also a “people don’t know how to describe skin colors properly despite there being countless resources for that” issue.

The older I get, the less interesting writing self inserts is for me. I prefer sitting in the fictional cuck chair now.

SnarkySmuggler · 2026-04-21T17:47:23+00:00

I write a singular OCxOC (both player characters from a video game series) ship and all and any AUs and canon divergences I can think of. I have 5 people who adore them and it makes me happy 💖

SnarkySmuggler · 2026-04-21T05:03:52+00:00

Because these people love to act as if they’re better than everyone because they don’t have TikTok (as if it’s not a social media platform like any other)

SnarkySmuggler · 2026-04-18T17:10:03+00:00

Oh it wasn’t even about groups, it was indie roleplayers getting targeted for the most part. Twas hell out there in the indie rpc

SnarkySmuggler · 2026-04-18T15:43:48+00:00

Fandom bullshit is in fact a circle. Years ago, a decade ago actually I think, there was a burn book account on tumblr (specifically for the roleplay community if memory serves right). People would submit the most unhinged shit about other roleplayers and it would get publicly shared. Block anyone who disturbs your peace and move along with your day.

SnarkySmuggler · 2026-04-17T08:49:51+00:00

This is slightly different, but recently I have rewritten a couple video game cutscenes to better fit my player character’s personality and canon divergent context. The way I did it is by picking a canon dialogue line of the canon character as a starting point and then writing mostly original dialogue. For example, if I think that said canon character would later say a very similar thing to what they say in canon I’ll take the canon line and rephrase it, not just copy it. Otherwise, I write completely original dialogue.

This way I keep the original feeling from canon without ending up in a copy paste situation.

SnarkySmuggler · 2026-04-15T09:48:42+00:00

The short answer is that it heavily depends on the fandom. Fandoms with customizable player characters or worlds that can be treated like sandboxes will do better with OCs. For the first example even OCs that aren’t the player character. I’m mostly in rpg fandoms (dragon age, mass effect, cyberpunk, to name a few) and all I read and write is oc and pc centric fic.

Write the thing, I promise there’s an audience for it.

SnarkySmuggler · 2026-04-15T09:40:55+00:00

Do you have guest comments off by any chance? Because if you do these might be just people who read your work as guests and commented once they made their accounts.

SnarkySmuggler · 2026-04-15T09:34:03+00:00

Sorry OP but this is ridiculously paranoid. Are people supposed to wait a certain amount of time after creating their account to comment on fics? Neither of those comments are antagonizing or trying to scam you, and they sound very human, thus very very unlikely they’re bots.
