@jplupine
It's been a hot minute [that's putting it lightly lol] since I've updated Eyes of Fire- Well, I finally figured out how to get around the corner I ended up writing myself into! So I'm gonna spruce up the currently posted chapters, check for typos, etc., and then update with the new chapter.
I'm DETERMINED to finish a few of the fics that have been on hiatus for so long this year, come Hell or high water (⓿_⓿)
I mentioned wanting to draw some of the sculptures from Chapter 8 of Make You Mine, but due to Wattpad TOS, I can't post them with the chapter! So, if y'all would like to see the two done so far, y'all can check out my other platforms like bsky [also jplupine] b(￣▽￣)d
I'll post some fics that have been festering in my files and have never seen the light of day. I'm burnt out, but I still wanna share *something*- my creative soul is weeping
I've got monsterfuckery, slasherfuckery, fluff, smut, and messy complicated relationships aplenty. [I'll just need to sweep away the dust and cobwebs first]
I've talked about this on other platforms, so let me finally talk about it here, too. For the past few months, I haven't been creating much art or writing due to several back-to-back irl issues, ranging from the loss of a family member to my employer not paying me for an entire month of work.
I've been busy transitioning to a new job and schedule over the past couple of weeks. I'm starting to settle into these changes, I'm also enjoying my new job structure so far, and I'm looking forward to getting back into creating soon!
I need palate cleansers to refresh my brain for my long fics, so I'm gonna start accepting requests here, too, instead of only through Tumblr ✌
I'll add some info in my Requested Fics book so y'all can get an idea of what/who I'll write for.
I found out several of my works were stolen for AI, so I'll go ahead and say it here too; I'm not going to engage in discourse over this, I'm just going to ask that if you use gen AI, please stop. It works by stealing other people's work to Frankenstein it together based on a prompt, and wastes a lot of water/energy. It's not helpful, it's not able to tell fact from fiction, and it's not even a true AI when it lacks any real intelligence and is unreliable.
Everything of mine published from June 2023 to present was stolen for this AI dataset. While I wasn't able to post most of these to Wattpad, know that this is well over 30 works. It's nearly all of my one-shots and 2 of my long fics; Fox Magick and Leila of the Prey. It's beyond disrespectful to me and all the other authors who had their works stolen :/
@EmaanEnchantedInk Yeah, nearly every gen AI's dataset is made up of stolen works scraped from the internet. Some folks claimed an ethically sourced AI dataset was impossible since most people don't want their work fed into the program as fodder. So, AI largely runs on theft, and there are several copyright lawsuits against AI for this reason.
@jplupine this is awful I'm so sorry this happened to you! Anyone who uses AI to steal from artists are total POS!
I'm embarrassed to ask, but would you do a Dorohedoro story again? I really loved fox magick!
I really love your stories. They completely suck me in,which is why i can only read them after my kids are in bed haha. Keep up the amazing work.
I'm getting really tired of finding out people have straight up stolen my stories word for word and thinking because they changed a few things, like replacing my OC with another character, then it's not stealing. It is. Copy/pasting my story and only changing a few details is plagiarism, not inspiration (ㆆ_ㆆ)
Adding that you were "inspired" by me in your summary doesn't mean stealing my work is okay. I'll add a link to the proof my work was stolen once I have it all together so y'all know I'm not being dramatic- it's literally copy/pasted and some editing to get rid of my characters.
All right, here are several screenshots to prove they did indeed copy/paste my work. Just....come on y'all at least write your stories in your own words => https://www.tumblr.com/jplupine/781767019244781568/another-one
The irony of me trying to edit a fic only for Wattpad to be experiencing bugs with saving/publishing LMAO Also....I really need to stop saying I'll post more 'cause it seems to jinx it every time. I've been so busy working and trying to catch up financially that I haven't had much time to write and it sucks T-T
To boot, I got sucked into K-dramas and C-dramas and have been binging those while I work. I've watched Alchemy of Souls like 3 times at this point [and so many historical romances] but they seem to help make working less stressful with how fun and dramatic they are!
