hello! i have a couple orders of business:
          	
          	first, i FINALLY updated Thicker Than Water! ahhh!! we are on the HOME STRETCH of being done with this damn story. i’m talking two more chapters and the epilogue are going up over the next handful of days! 
          	
          	secondly, i’ve also finally updated and republished my reading lists!! please take a gander BEFORE you start screaming at me to update again! there are gems!! i had the lists down for the longest time after some silliness but i just feel so revived and inspired by and excited about the growing/newer MJ community on here! and i really want to put a spotlight on all the great authors i’ve encountered during my time here as well, especially as a lot more fans come rolling in and looking for works! they are organized based on my understanding of the genres based on what i’ve read so far, but if anyone featured needs a genre switch lmk! i will also constantly be adding more and adjusting so pls don’t feel left out if i didn’t make it to you yet!
          	
          	i also want to hold myself more accountable for reading as my summer break with no school (for once) approaches and since i’ll be done with my most labor intensive books finally!! i’m not on here a lot (clearly lol look at my update dates) but when i ever get the chance, i do want to support and catch up with everyone! and i want my mutuals and readers to support and share and kiki in the comments with me on these other great books as well! let’s have funnnn!  #makemjwattpadfunagain ❤️

i despise the use of AI for writing. it’s plagiarism (this is not a matter of opinion btw). it’s lazy, it’s pathetic, it’s attention-seeking, and it impedes artistic growth and intelligence. it’s detrimental to literature, people physically and mentally, and to the planet.
          
          i also share the mounting frustration with AI. and as someone who has also had multiple people, including a large account, “take inspo”/copy ideas from my story, i deeply empathize with the desire to publicly expose. there’s a special kind of resentment that builds watching people gain off the back of your creativity and integrity. but i speak with this experience when i say that confrontation (even in private as i’ve done in the past), seldom achieves changing a corrupted mind. 
          
          art thrives on attention and recognition, so unlike with other issues, ignoring AI users/detracting from their attention is an effective strategy to diminish them. public confrontation through dogpiling, an added opportunity for them to make themselves the victim, only lowers their chances of change. and a person who has already made the moral choice to steal ideas and use/support AI writing despite all we know will not simply make the decision to stop or turn their supporters against it under duress.
          
          if we have any sort of relationship on this platform (you read my stories, i read yours, mutuals etc.), i am begging you all to a). immediately break this relationship if you support AI writing. and b) not to engage and to instead use the energy to uplift the deserving authors that are NOT using AI. they need this level of attention much more than AI writers do. and i promise it’s a much more productive and beneficial response (for you and the community). find other ways to condemn AI, like in direct conversation, comments, petitions, reporting, etc. and lead with positivity and discernment for the rest. the right people, those who do the right thing and truly believe in doing so, will follow. 
          
          ♡

@MJSPHEDORA i hear you, trust!! i’ve been in that same boat with AI people and the ppl that have copied me and it’s made me more distant. it sucks so bad and it’s a really goofy issue to begin with. there are soooo many times i’ve wanted to scalp ppl on this platform then breathe that sigh of relief lmfao but the thing is just that people don’t know how to receive or properly react to that sort of negativity on a very ego-heavy, hedonistic app like this and the AI isn’t a surefire issue to everyone—not your message or feelings per se. like the use of AI is contentious so it’s not at a place yet where people can be chastised for it without pushback. so while you aren’t wrong in how you feel both about AI, wanting to speak out about it and wanting these ppl to be rightfully ashamed, we just have a long way to go before that’s possible or before ppl gain the consciousness to stop using/supporting it altogether. 
            
            but i do see you frequently post other stories (and i’ve even found a few hat way bc if you!!), and it’s sooo appreciated! much more than this drama! please don’t let these lame stories ruin your experience on here even more than they have! and i will certainly continue supporting you and my other fave REAL authors as well! ❤️
