āWhen designing a fantasy world, it can be tempting to throw out everything about the real world and start from scratch. Sounds epicāBut this isnāt always the best way to go. In fact, creating a world that reflects aspects of our own can be just as powerful as building a world from the ground up."
So you write/want to write fantasy fiction⦠but you're wondering how to go about it. Good news! Our recent blog post is stock full of tips:
Itās not just taste: itās an issue of right and wrong.

Creative grievances against AI art arenāt just āAI Art Badā.
Itās the social, personal, political, and aesthetic costs of substituting human creativity with algorithms trained on stolen work - while imposing these tools and content on us without consent.
Thanks Julie! Loving these answers.
Our ~Creativity in the Age of AI~ survey is still live. What's your take?

reasons you should use ellipsus: it gave me the funniest possible positivity message at the end of my timed writing session today while I was working on the Baxter omo fic
So please, tell us how we can help.

Ellipsus is committed to supporting human creatives in the age of AIāweāre working to build a human-led, human-affirming network to make sure that human creativity is protected. Because without art, weāre really screwed.
The survey is anonymous and takes about 3 minutes. Weāll compile some of the findings and publish for all to read. (If you want to be quoted in a future essay or social posts, please feel free to leave your name/pseudonym or social handles in the optional contact form at the end.)
We know you have an opinionāand we know itās good. Weād love if youād share it with us.
Writing, scrolling, reading onlineāthe basic ways we live our daily creativity are being impacted by This Thing, and it deserves more attention.
And yet, beyond the (very real) concern of industry redundancies, and the (dubious) claims of AI āreplacingā human creatives, thereās notably a lack of discussion about how itās impacted creatives just being creative.
The effects of this hostile takeover are well reported: slop, enshittification, deepfakes, misinformation. AI came straight for creative work first (because it was illegally trained on it š).
Over the past two years, the mess that is generative AI has barrelled its way through human creative spaces. Itās been⦠a shit show.

Visibility is resistanceāand writing, naming things as they are, is the first defense. Trans rights are not up for debate, and the words to defend those rights are not going anywhere.

We just wanted to mention how fucked it is that one of the largest creative platforms is silencing queer language and the politics of liberation: this is blatant censorship being passed off as ācontent moderation.ā
A huge part of our community gathers on platforms like TikTok and X. We share work and updates there; we support creators thereāmany of them queer writers who are still making content and will not disappear.
