As with any other tool, it's not a real problem if used correctly or sparingly. It's when people use it as a crutch to write with. As you said that English is not your first language, it can get really strange or nonsensical at times (Which is why anyone who uses it has to carefully re-read and correct things.) English as you likely have noticed is a language which the rules are stretched, broken or totally ignored. We borrow from other languages which makes people scratch their heads and say 'What the fuck?'. I've incorporated puns or plays on words which if I used AI, would make people ask what I was smoking.

So, it's no crime to use AI sparingly, but it is Artificial which means it's not organic writing and as for Intelligence, it's not exactly going to qualify for membership in MENSA.

Fair observation. 
No previous fiction exists under Studio 0.25 name, and Part I will not be posted publicly before Reader selection. 
That inevitably asks prospective Readers to tolerate a small amount of uncertainty. S25 is grateful to those who have already reached out despite that.

Hello

Good luck with your writing endeavour.

I think you would have much more luck at recruiting if you weren't a stranger.  Have you posted stories here?  Somewhere else?  Let us know how you write, what you write about.  People can then make an more informed decision if they want to join or not.

No worries.

I do write, and I do work with AI a lot in my day job. I have tried, of course! So see if AI can write, and it can't. It can generate text, though, which is not the same by far, and if you try to package that as a story it will go down badly.

Selfbound Website Stories Feedback / Re: Full Moon by MaypoleWalker

The story starts with an Author's note:

QuoteWhile working on the next big Joyce and Shawna adventure, a completely different story began forming. Readers of some of my other stories may recognize some recognizable story elements, yet this is a brand-new path with a couple of new characters.

Where can interested readers find these?
The Plaza only released "Joyce and Shawna" and the brand new "Full Moon," neither of which can be meant in this statement.

Studio 0.25 ("S25") is manufacturing its first Literary Installation: Anatomy of a Surrender.

Part I (approx. 8,500 words) will be made available privately to five selected members of this community (each a "Reader" and together, the "Readers").

Part I is the first of eight parts that draw partly on the sensual territory of latex, self-bondage, restraint, loss of control, and human bodies becoming part of installations or systems. Those elements, however, constitute only the foundations of a much broader literary project involving performance art, relationships, consent, identity, technology, and the consequences of desire.

Individuals seeking to qualify as a Reader need not be professional editors or writers. On the contrary, S25 is specifically seeking the perspective of readers from this community. This community alone.

Private message S25 before Sunday 4 October, 23:00.

The Readers will then be selected.

When did a small treasure become a laptop stand, a wedge for a wobbly table?
As if a book were no longer worthy of elevating anything but a screen.

And why did we decide that black on white was enough?
As if, given enough pages, enough data, enough patterns,
language alone could contain the whole of
human experience.

Anatomy of a Surrender begins with that question.

Quote from: Zoé Cordelier on September 28, 2026, 09:38:12 AMEnglish is not my native language, and that may affect my writing. Also, I am working with AI professionally, and do read a lot of AI generated text as part of how I work, and I very much hope it did not infect me too much.

Hi Zoé, please accept my apologies.  I read your story again, and I guess I was in a miserly mood. I think there are some sentences that gave me pause that are almost certainly related to you writing in a second language, and for that I apologize humbly a second time, as I can barely write well in my first language.

I've gone in the past few years from being hopefully optimistic about generative AI to loathing it and the changes it's brought with it, but that's all the more reason for me to take better care before accusing writing of being generated, as I don't want to discourage actual human writing!

So, I hope you will forgive me and continue writing and sharing your stories with us.

Here's the continuation of my favorites list; since I found some of them through recommendations from the forum, I wanted to contribute again myself.

The following list picks up where the list from the first post left off.

Have fun :)
