Aside from the sheer audacity and unprofessionalism of @dailykos.com plagiarizing my work in this way, their AI-slop generated copies of my work do what AI always does: mess the facts up. It's one thing to steal work: it's another to steal it, mess it up, and promote the factually wrong version.

Here is the link I found today: www.dailykos.com/story/2026/2... which is an AI-slop version of yokai.com/amabie, and serves as an ad for the full, plagiarized version of my work on Amazon. @dailykos.com are you really OK with this?

#writerscoffeeclub 02/13 Do you use maps as reference material as you write. When my characters are in Japan I frequently use Google Maps and street view. It allows me to add local color.

#writerscoffeeclub 02/12 How unique is the setting of your story. Totally. Unless someone pirated my work you won't find it anywhere. The piece, some are common others rare.

#wordweavers 12. What would you tell a fellow writer who was struggling with self-doubt? When I was still working as a Mental Health Counclor I had a couple of clients where this was a major concern. Generally, I focused on why they were creators. Most would say as an artistic outlet. On the […]

#scribesandmakers 10 February: What is the most out-of-character creative thing you enjoy? That thing that never matches the assumptions about you. At this point, everyone knows I'm a little off kilter, but when I was younger, I was told I had juvenile taste. I was enjoying "Violence" by Mott […]

#writerscoffeeclub 02/09 Do you subscribe to "show, don't tell?" As a general principle it's good. But it makes a very poor religion.

#wordweavers 9 Feb. Have you ever talked to a reader of your story? How did it go? I will assume you aren't including beta readers. Only one who read "Kigahen Inja (気が変隠者)" It didn't go well since it is based on Shinto concepts and they insisted on thinking in terms of Christian metaphors.

#scribesandmakers 9. Is one really the loneliest number? Can numbers be lonely? I defer judgment to @QuasiTemporal, author of "Personified Numbers."

#pennedpossibilities 926 — Do your characters play any sports, or did they play any in the past? Unless you count cards, play games like backgammon, poetry contests, and sutra contests as sports, no.
